Supporting Teachers

Teachers using open learning, who wish to make good use of digital technologies in their teaching and learning designs, have some difficult issues to confront. The chapter begins with the idea that only teachers have the knowledge, experience, and appropriate context for developing digital learning methods. It makes the case for giving teachers sufficient time and professional development to achieve the skills and new thinking needed, and specifically for the idea that teachers should be in the forefront of innovation needed for using new technology. Using a formal representation of what it takes for an organisation to innovate, it outlines the teacher requirements for being able to innovate in learning design. On this basis, it illustrates what we might do, using online design tools, to support teachers in their work as they construct new technology-based forms of teaching and learning for open learning.

Technological developments convey a change to all lines of people; human behavior, ways of life, transportation, habits to the way of learning is also influenced by these developments. In previous phases, education was a one-way process, where the teacher became the only source of information or knowledge for students. More than that, students first know information that occurs in other hemispheres compared to the teacher. This can happen if the teachers are unable to adapt to technological developments. The concept of sustainable professional development is a system that will create a new culture so that teachers can be aware of the changes that occur. This research explores the implementation of sustainable professional development in high schools throughout Kendari City. To obtain the data in question, the researcher used the snowball approach through interviewing, observation, and analysis data.
