ABSTRACT

This study aims to describe problems with institutions and teacher training programs in the Faculty of Education and to find the solutions. The issue of how to develop a high-quality teacher is vitally important to the future of education in Indonesia. There were many unresolved issues, ranging from general low quality, uneven distribution, and the lack of standardization for institutions and teachers. All of these reasons added to the problems that already exist and affected everyone, including stakeholders, in making major decisions. More than one million teachers were becoming professional through Education Faculties with Teacher Training (PLPG or PPG) activities or portfolio assessments. However, the program has not significantly increased the quality of education in Indonesia. This paper is a self-criticism and self-evaluation for the Faculty of Education, in preparing the teacher training program.
