THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TEAM TEACHING OF ENGLISH IN SMPN 1 PITU KABUPATEN NGAWI ( A Naturalistic Study in SMPN 1 Pitu )
No full textAlexander who is well known as “father of the American middle school”
discussed the structure of the junior high school in 1963 at a conference at
Cornell University. He proposed a concept about team teaching
(http://www.learnnc.org/lp/pages/4754) in which “a team of three to five
teachers were assigned to 75 to 150 pupils organized either on a single –grade
or multi-grade basis.” This concept was gradually developed into team
teaching. Moreover, team teaching is now used in all grade levels and across
disciplines. This approach has created bonding opportunities for students and
engaged teachers in collaborative planning.
Teacher has responsibility to teach the material to the students for special
subject. The problem is that the distribution of teachers in Indonesia is
inbalanced. Some schools, especially State School, have more teachers than
they need but others have only few teachers. The school, which has more
teachers, is confused to employ their teachers in the process of teaching.
Some of them lack of their job, ( teaching ) but the other schools have to force
their teachers to teach their students because there are only limited teachers.
Usually, the schools which are located in the center of town or city have
more teachers but not in the rural areas. They have many teachers whose
subjects are the same. For example for Mathematics teacher, there are more
than 6 teachers although 4 teachers are enough for them; for Science teachers,
there are 7 teachers even though 5 are enough. English teachers are available
more than the needs of school. As the result, the schools have to employ the
teachers wisely. One of the policy is applying team teaching in their school so
that there will not lack of duty of the teachers. The headmaster should
distribute the time fairly.
On the contrary, in rural areas, one teacher sometimes has to teach more
than 24 hours even until 34 hours because the teachers are less than the
school needs. For instance for Mathematics teacher, there are only have 2
teachers although the school needs more than 2 teachers. For Science teachers
there are only 2 teachers but the need is 3 teachers. For English teachers, they
have to teach more than 24 hours because there are only 3 teachers although
the school needs 5 teachers.
There is new policy from “Departement Pendidikan Nasional “ about the
professional teacher. The rule for professional teacher is that he has to teach
24 hours a week in order to get the salary of professioal teacher (TPP)
(Permendiknas No.39 thn.2009) “Beban kerja guru paling sedikit ditetapkan
24 jam tatap muka dan paling banyak 40 jam tatap muka dalam 1 minggu
pada satu atau lebih satuan pendidikan yang memiliki izin pendirian dari
Pemerintah daerah”. The professional teachers have to teach the students
based on the rule above although there are more teachers in the same subjects.
The new problem is that there will be many teachers who do not have
occasion to teach while the others teach 24 hours because the school has too many teachers than they need. To solve the problem, the teachers have to
implement team teaching in teaching their lesson including English teacher.
For example: there are 9 English teachers in a school and 6 of them are as
professional teachers. Unfortunately, the classes are limited to employ the
teachers. So, as a result, the teachers have to apply team teaching to meet the
rule above.
Team teaching will be interesting in the process of learning and can be
applied well if the teacher involved in team teaching understands the concept
of it well. By collaboration with other teacher, the process of observing to the
learners, will be intensive. The special notion about behavior and difficulty of
the students will be recorded well that the technique of teaching can be
criticized fairly. To do team teaching perfectly, the teachers involved in team
teaching should have the same commitment and ready to criticize and be
criticized.
The approach of Team Teaching in Indonesia should be corrected in
order not just to complete the 24 hours teaching based on the government rule
for professional teacher. In other word, doing team teaching is just for getting
salary of professional teacher, called TP. The teachers ignore the concept of
applying team teaching correctly. They are neglecting to learn how to
implement it. They do not want to learn more about it. Therefore, it seems
that the government rule is not meaningful if the teachers do not have to have
commitment to improve the process of teaching.
There are many state schools having more teachers than they need. One
of them is SMPN1 Pitu Ngawi. It is a National Standardized Certificate since
2 years ago. It has 13 classes of students. In addition, it has 28 teachers for all
lessons and 8 officials. Nine of the teachers are an English teacher who each
has to teach minimal 18 hours even some of them 24 hours every week. Every
class gets the English lesson for 4 hours according to curriculum of SMPN.
But the result of learning English is still insufficient. It can be seen from
National Examination (UN) score of English. The score is the lowest from
four subjects, those are; Indonesian language, mathematics, English, and
Science. Furthermore, the students never win in any English competition.
Therefore, the school has decided in a meeting that English must be taught in
a team. It has been conducted since the academy year of 2007/2008.
By team teaching, the school hopes that:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The increased learning can result through the cooperative efforts of
the teaching team on a common instructional problem
Interest in content can be increased as the result of team teaching
planning, presenting and structuring appropriate learning activities
The improvement in teaching performance can take place through
team membership
The English teachers can use the available time based on the
government rule, 24 hours every week for every teacher
In addition, the learners will study English with good concentration as
Lounsbury said in the National Middle School Association “ when team
teaching is fully implemented, however, research has shown it leads to an
improved work climate, more frequent contact with parents, increased teacher
job satisfaction, and higher levels of student achievement”(http://www.
educationworld.com/a-admin/290.shtml).
In the process of teaching English by conducting Team Teaching,
logically, the process of learning English and the students’ achievement will
be better when they are taught by team teaching approach. The students are
able to accept more than one opinion and active more cooperatively with
others. Besides, the students’ level of understanding can be increased or it
enables the student to obtain higher achievement. But, team teaching is not as
easy as we hope to conduct. Furthermore, by the lack of teachers
understanding of team teaching, it is difficult for teachers to plan the process
of teaching, implement the plan, and make the evaluation together with their
group.
Team members should develop and enhance their own teaching approach
and methods. They should work closely with one or more colleagues in order
to overcome the isolation inherent in teaching. They should discuss issues
related to students, such as behavioral expectations, student’s motivation, and
teaching policies, and improved solution.
In addition, concerning with the teachers’ readiness to teach English in
team teaching, it is important to consider the capability of the teachers. It
means that teachers should be ready with their knowledge about how to
conduct team teaching English. Smithwick states, “For a team of teachers to
be strong and productive, everyone must work together in a collegial manner”
(http://www.educationworld.com/a-admin/290.shtml).
Therefore,
it
is
interesting to learn how to implement team teaching English. That is the
reason why this research will be done

Team perfectionism and team performance: A prospective study
No full textPerfectionism is a personality characteristic that has been found to predict sports performance in athletes. To date, however, research has exclusively examined this relationship at an individual level (i.e., athletes’ perfectionism predicting their personal performance). The current study extends this research to team sports by examining whether, when manifested at team level, perfectionism predicts team performance. A sample of 231 competitive rowers from 36 boats completed measures of self-oriented, team-oriented, and team-prescribed perfectionism prior to competing against one another in a 4-day rowing competition. Strong within-boat similarities in the levels of team members’ team-oriented perfectionism supported the existence of collective team-oriented perfectionism at the boat level. Two-level latent growth curve modeling of day-by-day boat performance showed that team-oriented perfectionism positively predicted the position of the boat in mid-competition and the linear improvement in position. The findings suggest that imposing perfectionistic standards on team members may drive teams to greater levels of performance
Report of an independent peer review of A forest management strategy for the proposed Coquille Forest submitted to the Coquille Indian Tribe by the Independent Scientific Advisory Team (ISAT)
No full text"[T]he [Coquille Indian] Tribe requested that the State of Oregon assemble a team of independent scientists to peer review the forest management strategy proposed by the ISAT. The purpose of the independent peer review would be to: 1) assess the degree to which the two major goals assigned by the Tribe are met by the proposed ISAT forest management strategy, 2) validate the scientific soundness of the proposed strategy, 3) identify any gaps in the strategy or components not adequately addressed, and 4) make recommendations to correct deficiencies or to make improvements in the strategy. In response to the Tribe's request, the Governor's Office of Natural Resources assembled a team of independent peer reviewers and structured the process by which the review would be accomplished. The results of the IPR were presented to the ISAT in a conference open to the public which was held on November 21, 1995 at the LaSells Stewart Center, Oregon State University. Following is a consolidated report of major conclusions and recommendations presented by the independent reviewers to the ISAT at the November 21 public forum.
