Of all the considerations connected with the study of mathematics, and indeed with the study of any subject, the most important is the mastery of the art of study itself. No topic has been so generally overlooked and neglected heretofore. This neglect is the source of many of our difficulties in teaching, and of many of the criticisms that have been heaped upon the various studies. A supervisor of the high schools of one of our states recently made a general outline for the reorganization of the courses in mathematics for the state. The matter of teaching pupils how to study had been entirely overlooked. His attention was called to the matter, and, realizing its importance, he made it a part of the program. After all, this is the chief thing to be gained from our schools. The pupil must leam the “how.” The “what” is not of so great importance. The “what” frequently changes. The “how” is relatively constant. In other words, the pupil should learn how to attack a problem with economy of time and effort, and with the greatest efficiency. The information he gains in the process is incidental, and illustrative of what he ought to expect as a result of his efforts after he has been trained. It is this sort of training that gives the educated man a measure of his powers, and ability to use these powers in the most effective manner in the various problems which he meets in his daily living. If education fails in this it fails utterly; indeed, it is then not education at all, it is a farce, and the school is a failure. Yet this is the point at which the schools do fail most lamentably. No subject in the high school curriculum is equal to mathematics in its opportunit ies for teaching the art of study. Geometry is especially valuable for this purpose.

Since the issuance of the 2013 revised curriculum in 2018 it has become a challenge for education including teachers. Teacher professionalism becomes a question in relation to the implementation of the 2013 revised 2018 curriculum. For Vocational High School teachers, for the content of vocational specialization in business and management, especially in accounting and financial institutions, there has been a change in the expertise competency section, one of the most stealing changes attention is the emergence of subjects "accounting practicum institutions / government agencies" which will be taught in class XI and XII. Government accounting is a field of accounting that has never been included in the Vocational High School curriculum, therefore accounting teachers at the Vocational High School are totally blind or unfamiliar with this field. Even though it is still in the same family with government accounting, village accounting has a different dimension to government accounting material, therefore efforts are needed to increase teacher understanding of village accounting materials. The subject "village accounting practicum" will be taught in the 2019/2020 school year for class XII. This study aims to look at teacher readiness and identify efforts that can be used in improving teacher understanding of village accounting. The results of this study indicate that the readiness of teachers in teaching subjects "village accounting practicum" is still limited even though these subjects will be taught in the 2019/2020 school year. Therefore capacity building and workshop can be used as an effort to increase the understanding of accounting teachers in village accounting materialsKeywords: capacity building, professionalism, village accounting, vocational teachers, workshop
