TEACHER MANAGEMENT MOVING IN EFFORTS TO IMPLEMENT STUDENT-SIDED LEARNING

Abstract

In July 2020, the Ministry of Education and Culture launched the Merdeka Belajar Program's fifth episode: Guru Penggerak (GP). This research is related to one of the roles of GP, which is as a leader in learning. The study aims to understand how GP manages efforts to implement student-centered learning. A GP has a number of values and roles. The research was conducted in two schools, namely SMAN 13 Jakarta and SMAN 46 Jakarta. The research method utilized literature review and a qualitative approach. Data collection involved interviews, observations, and documentation. Several Catalyst Teachers (Guru Penggerak) from both schools, including GP Angkatan 5 and GP Angkatan 7, served as key informants for this study. The research findings indicate that GPs implement student-centered learning through practices that meet students' learning needs, socio-emotional learning, positive cultural aspects, coaching, and program management that positively impact students.
