ABSTRACT

The role of a teacher in the teaching and learning process is very important, but there are many teachers lacking competence in mastering pedagogic skills or subject matter.

This research study was conducted by a survey method using quantitative descriptive analysis. Research subjects consisted of OAVS teachers in Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia.
