Abstract

This study aims to examine the management of teachers’ professional development in efforts to improve the effectiveness of learning. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, observations, and documentation to obtain in-depth and accurate data.

The results of the study show that the role of teachers in the management of professional development at SMP Negeri is very diverse. Teachers act as facilitators, mentors, motivators, organizers, and as learning resources for students. These roles make a positive contribution to improving the effectiveness of learning in schools.

In addition, the implemented management of teachers’ professional development has a positive impact on the learning process, creating a more active, directed, and meaningful learning environment. This indicates that the management of teachers’ professionalism plays an important role in improving the quality of education at SMP Negeri.

The factors influencing the management of teachers’ professional development consist of internal and external factors. Internal factors come from within the teacher, such as physiological and psychological conditions, including motivation and the level of professionalism, which still need improvement. Meanwhile, external factors come from outside the teacher, including the family environment, school environment, and students’ conditions. These factors are interrelated in determining the success of teachers’ professional development.

Overall, this study shows that well-planned teacher professional development supported by various parties can significantly improve the effectiveness of learning at SMP Negeri.
