<![CDATA[Education is a conscious effort made to prepare human resources to be able to participate actively in society. Good education is expected to give birth to a superior generation that can continue the development and progress of a nation. Quality education is determined, among other things, by the presence of quality teachers, namely teachers who can carry out their responsibilities professionally. Professional teachers have at least four competencies, namely pedagogic, personality, social and professional competencies. Developing teacher professionalism is a continuous effort made to ensure the quality of education and learning in schools. Teacher professionalism development takes place at three levels, namely personal, institutional and government. The implementation of teacher professionalism development is still problematic in several regions, especially considering the low quality of education.
