ABSTRACT

Fitri Rakhmawati. “The Implementation of Mastering System Pre-Service Training for English Instructor. Thesis, English Education Department, Graduate School, Sebelas Maret University. 2016 Consultant I: Prof. Dr. Joko Nurkamto, M.Pd, Consultant II: Dr. Sumardi, M.Hum.

This study aims to describe the implementation of Mastering System pre-service training for English instructor at an English course in East Java and the professionalism of English instructor created through Mastering System pre-service training program. It specifically raises from two research questions: 1) What is the implementation of Mastering System pre-service training for English instructor at an English course in East Java, 2) To what extent Mastering System Program creates the professionalism of English instructor.

This is a qualitative research which employs case study. The data was collected through interviewing the informants (the director, instructors, learners, and learners of Outdoor Class Training); observing the teaching learning activities, distributing questionnaire, and analyzing the document.

In analyzing the data, this study employed two theories to answer the problem formulated. The first problem regarding the implementation of pre-service training for English instructor at an English course in East Java was analyzed through the theory of components of pre-service teacher training by Cochran-Smith & Zeichner (2005) while the second problem regarding the professionalism of English instructor created through the training was analyzed through the theory of characteristics of a good language teacher by Brown (2001).

The result shows that the components of pre-service training for English instructor proposed by Cochran-Smith & Zeichner (2005) are not completely applied at the institution. The component which is applied best in MS Program is the professional experience (practicum). On the other hand, the most prioritizing components that still need some improvements are the curriculum and assessment. Furthermore, the researcher finds that the Mastering System pre-service training has not been able to create professional English instructors but has been able to create required English instructors, in case the learners have four characteristics of pedagogical skill, technical knowledge, personal quality, and interpersonal skill but the learners do not meet all aspects included in each characteristic proposed on Brown’s (2001) theory. Based on the analysis on the score list of Outdoor Class Training (PPL), it shows that 59 learners (98.3%) are categorized as required English instructors. There is one learner (1.7%) categorized as unprofessional and does not fulfill the requirement to be an English instructor.

ABSTRAK

Fitri Rakhmawati. “Implementasi Pelatihan Pra-mengajar Mastering System untuk Instruktur Bahasa Inggris” Thesis, Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris. Program Pasca Sarjana Universitas Negeri Sebelas Maret. 2016 Pembimbing I: Prof. Dr. Joko Nurkamto, M. Pd, Pembimbing II. Dr. Sumardi, M. Hum.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan implementasi pelatihan pra-mengajar Mastering System untuk instruktur bahasa Inggris di sebuah kursus bahasa Inggris di Jawa Timur dan profesionalisme instruktur bahasa Inggris yang dibentuk melalui sistem pelatihan tersebut. Tujuan tersebut berasal dari dua pokok permasalahan yaitu: 1) Implementasi apa yang berada pada pelatihan pra-mengajar Mastering System untuk instruktur bahasa Inggris pada sebuah kursus bahasa Inggris di Java Timur, 2) Sejauh mana pelatihan pra-mengajar Mastering Systemmembentuk profesionalisme instruktur bahasa Inggris.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang menggunakan studi kasus. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara dengan beberapa informan (direktur, instruktur, peserta didik, dan peserta didik Outdoor Class Training); mengamati kegiatan belajar mengajar, penyebaran kuesioner, dan menganalisis dokumen.

Dalam menganalisis data, penelitian ini menggunakan dua teori untuk menjawab masalah yang dirumuskan. Masalah pertama tentang pelaksanaan pelatihan pra-mengajar Mastering System untuk instruktur bahasa Inggris di sebuah kursus bahasa Inggris di Jawa Timur dianalisa melalui teori komponen pelatihan pra-mengajar dari Cochran-Smith & Zeichner (2005), sedangkan masalah kedua tentang profesionalisme instruktur bahasa Inggris yang tercipta melalui training tersebut dianalisa menggunakan teori karakteristik-karakteristik seorang guru bahasa yang baik dari teori Brown (2001).

Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa komponen pelatihan pra-mengajar untuk instruktur bahasa Inggris berdasarkan teori Cochran-Smith & Zeichner tidak sepenuhnya diterapkan di institusi tersebut. Komponen terbaik yang diterapkan adalah praktikum. Sedangkan komponen yang paling membutuhkan perbaikan adalah kurikulum dan penilaian. Selanjutnya, peneliti menemukan bahwa pelatihan pra-mengajar Mastering System belum mampu menciptakan instruktur bahasa Inggris yang professional namun telah mampu menciptakan instruktur bahasa Inggris yang memenuhi syarat dikarenakan para siswa memiliki empat karakteristik yaitu kemampuan pedagogik, pengetahuan teknis, kualitas personal, dan kemampuan interpersonal namun belum memenuhi semua aspek pada tiap karakteristik yang didasarkan dari teori Brown (2001). Berdasarkan analisis pada daftar skor Outdoor Class Training (PPL), menunjukkan bahwa 59 (98,3%) peserta didik dikategorikan telah memenuhi syarat sebagai instruktur bahasa Inggris. Terdapat satu (1,7%) peserta didik yang dikategorikan sebagai instruktur bahasa Inggris yang tidak professional atau tidak memenuhi syarat sebagai instruktur bahasa Inggris.
