Prospective Teachers, Generic Skills, and Student Community Service Program: A Case Study in the Indonesian Context

Many papers have been published in recent years describing prospective teachers` generic and teaching skills. However, to our best knowledge, little is known about how they acquire and apply these skills in real-life situations outside of the classroom, among communities through student community service program in particular. In other words, because empirical evidence in the literature has failed to recognise the implementation of prospective teachers’ generic skills among communities, the question on this topic remains open. Therefore, our purpose was to explore and describe prospective teachers’ generic skills when taking part in a community service program. This study is qualitative in nature, with a total of 150 students consisting of 100 females (67%) and 50 males (33%) enrolled at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education in a public university in Indonesia participating by adopting a questionnaire and audio-recorded interviews for data collection. The data collected through questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while the information collected through the interviews was evaluated and interpreted using content analysis through coding classification and theme or pattern identification, with the goal of providing thorough descriptive interpretations of social phenomena. The findings reveal that the prospective teachers under investigation strongly agree and agree that community service program has benefited them personally, socially, and professionally, as well as improved their generic skills. They could develop their generic skills while participating in a student community service program. The findings of this study provide clear evidence that generic skills and the development of these skills are deemed important by students enrolled at teacher training and education. Based on the findings, the implications and limitations of this present study with several suggestions for future research are also discussed.

Beliefs About Learning

Professional teaching competence is significantly influenced by beliefs about learning. Prospective teachers start their teacher training at university with quite persistent beliefs about learning processes. Beliefs about learning can be differentiated into two perspectives: beliefs about student learning and beliefs about one’s own learning. Theoretical considerations suggest that the latter influence beliefs about student learning and both perspectives are influenced by the way in which prospective teachers experienced their own lessons as pupils at school. We investigated how prospective biology teachers remembered their own biology lessons and how these experiences influenced their beliefs about learning regarding both perspectives. The sample consisted of 164 prospective biology teachers (Mage = 21.58 years, SDage = 2.5, 66.02% female) in Germany. Results of a simple mediation model indicate that previous experiences in biology lessons had an impact on both perspectives. Moreover, we found that the influence that previous lessons had on the beliefs about student learning was fully mediated by one’s beliefs about own learning processes. This suggests that experiences from one’s own schooling have an impact on how teachers view learning of their students. As implications for teacher training and future research, our findings suggest that both perspectives of beliefs need to be further taken into account and that an explicit focus on beliefs about teachers’ own learning is needed.

Major Shift

Abstract A major shift in university course work involves activities outside the traditional classroom in which students are required to apply knowledge from the coursework in real-life service-learning environments. Such complex learning contexts generate a level of disequilibrium or anxiety that may or may not result in transformative learning. This phenomenological study examined student reflective writings from an Honors service-learning course at a medium-sized mid-western university for evidences of transformative learning, the precipitating disequilibria, and the significant pedagogical structures underlying growth. All students learned and all students encountered disquieting experiences; however, only half the participants exhibited varying levels of transformative learning. Results indicate that transformative learning requires time, space, and appropriate scaffolding to develop or augment personal internal systems of adjusting what one thinks and how one thinks about new information and experiences. The results further suggest that a framework of iterative service experiences, grounded in course content, readings, faculty-student-community dialogue, and continuous, thoughtfully designed, reflective practice can maximize transformative learning potentials. Future research should continue to explore how service-learning is experienced by individual participants and what contextual factors are essential for increasing the likelihood that transformative learning will occur.

Raising Awareness

ABSTRACT Community Service Program (KKN) is a manifestation of the Papua University Higher Education, namely community service. Community service is a form of knowledge that is expressed theoretically in college to be applied in real life in the Dindey village community, so that the knowledge gained can be applied and developed in the life of the wider community. In general, the objectives to be achieved from independent learning KKN are; Train and instill personality values, change the perspective, mindset and attitudes, behavior and work methods of both students and society in solving problems in society, raising awareness and building an optimistic attitude, enhancing Indonesia that is sovereign, independent and has personality. Raise public awareness about health protocols in the midst of a pandemic. Developing the independence of students and society in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Kampung Dindey is one of the areas targeted for KKN-PPM activities in providing religious, education, health, environmental, agricultural and village administration assistance. Through this activity, it is hoped that the implementation of teaching reading and writing to eradicate illiteracy, so that there will be a decrease in illiteracy, especially in Manokwari Regency and public awareness of the importance of protecting yourself from the corona virus pandemic. In general, all programs can be absorbed thanks to the support of the local government. Constraints that are still encountered are the low level of community participation in several activities and the low independence of the target groups. Hopefully in the future to be used as a model, the assistance of programs that have been formed must be continued through the next Community Service Program. Keywords: Freedom community service; independence; covid pandemic 19. ABSTRAK Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) merupakan salah satu perwujudan dari Perguruan Tinggi Universitas Papua yaitu pengabdian pada masyarakat. Pengabdian merupakan suatu wujud dari ilmu yang tertuang secara teoritis di bangku kuliah untuk diterapkan secara nyata dalam kehidupan sehari-hari di masyarakat kampung Dindey ini, sehingga ilmu yang diperoleh dapat diaplikasikan dan dikembangkan dalam kehidupan masyarakat luas. Tujuan dari KKN merdeka belajar adalah melatih dan menanamkan nilai kepribadian, mengubah cara pandang, pola pikir dan sikap, perilaku dan cara kerja baik mahasiswa maupun masyarakat dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan yang ada di masyarakat, membangkitkan kesadaran dan membangun sikap optimis, meningkatkan Indonesia yang berdaulat, berdikari dan berkepribadian. Meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat tentang protokol kesehatan di tengah pandemi. Mengembangkan kemandirian diri mahasiswa dan masyarakat di tengah pandemi COVID-19. Kampung Dindey ini merupakan salah satu daerah yang dijadikan target kegiatan KKN-PPM dalam melakukan pendampingan keagaamaan, pendidikan, kesehatan, lingkungan, pertanian dan administrasi kampung. Melalui kegiatan ini diharapkan terjadi pelaksanaan pengajaran membaca dan menulis untuk pemberantasan buta aksara, sehingga terjadi penurunan buta aksara khususnya di Kabupaten Manokwari serta kesadaran masyarakat tentang pentingnya melindungi diri dari pandemi virus corona. Secara umum seluruh program bisa terserap berkat dukungan dari pemerintah daerah. Kendala yang masih ditemui adalah masih rendahnya partisipasi masyarakat di beberapa kegiatan, serta masih rendahnya kemandirian pada kelompok sasaran. Harapannya bisa dijadikan model, maka pendampingan program yang sudah terbentuk harus dilanjutkan melalui KKN berikutnya. Kata Kunci: KKN merdeka; kemandirian; pandemi covid 19.
