Singaraja – In-Service Professional Teacher Education (PPG) Program (Daljab) continues to roll out at Ganesha University of Education. In 2019, the program is in stage V with the number of participants reaching hundreds of people. Those from Bali, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) took part in Online Learning Technical Guidance in the Ganesha III Room, on Tuesday (2/7/2019). “There are 303 participants for stage V. “They are for Balinese Language, Indonesian Language Study Programs, Elementary Class Teachers, Kindergarten, Science and Sports Class Teachers,” explained the Information Technology Team, I Gusti Putu Anom Arimbawa, S.T.
It was explained that in online learning, participants received pedagogical, professional material and teaching tools, lasting for three months. “In this learning, there is a graduation. It is strict in nature. This determines whether you can take part in the next stage. “There are workshops, PPL, performance tests, and knowledge tests,” explained this official from Penebel District, Tabanan Regency.
Undiksha offers PPG programs for 22 study programs. The number of program participants tends to increase every year. The graduation also exceeded the national target. “Last year, PPG Daljab only existed up to stage III. Now there are more,” he added. Meanwhile, PPG Undiksha Coordinator, Drs. I Gede Nurjaya, M.Pd., hope that the participation of these teachers in the PPG program will increase their professionalism. In order to get the best results, the party carries out continuous evaluation. “We hope that this program can improve the quality of teaching staff,” he stressed. (hms)
