What competencies should a teacher have?

Assalamu'alaikum wr wb.

Hello all! How are you? May stay in good health! This is my second post on my favorite blog xD And my post this time about  "What competencies should a teacher have?”
Woah! Interesting topic isn't it?  and this one is for my Final Exam Assignment, adrdressed to lecturer, Mr. Drs. Masyhur,M. Ed.
Okay, I'll explain it here! Hopefully you can increase your knowledge!

According to the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers stated that competence is a set of knowledge, skills, and behaviors that must be possessed, internalized, and mastered by the teacher or lecturer in carrying out professional duties. According to Finch & Crunkilton, (1992: 220) states "Competencies are those taks, skills, attitudes, values, and appreciation that are deemed critical to successful employment". This statement implies that competence includes tasks, skills, attitudes, values, appreciation given in the context of life / income life success. This can be interpreted that competence is a combination of knowledge, ability, and application in carrying out tasks in the workforce. Teacher competency is related to the authority to carry out their duties, in this case in using the field of study as learning material which acts as an educational tool, and pedagogical competence related to the function of the teacher in paying attention to students' learning behavior (Djohar, 2006: 130).

From the above understanding, it can be concluded that teacher competence is the result of the merging of abilities of many types, can be in the form of a set of knowledge, skills, and behaviors that must be owned, lived and mastered by the teacher in carrying out his professional duties. According to Suparlan (2008: 93) added that teacher competency standards are divided into three interrelated components, namely management of learning, professional development, and academic mastery.

According to the Republic of Indonesia Minister of National Education Regulation Number 16 of 2007 concerning Academic Qualification Standards and Teacher Competencies, the types of competencies that must be possessed by teachers include: pedagogical, personality, professional and social competencies obtained through professional education. The fourth competency integrated in teacher performance:

1)      Pedagogic Competence

Pedagogic competencies include teacher understanding of students, design and implementation of learning, evaluation of learning outcomes, and development of students to actualize their various potentials.  

2)      Personality Competence

Personality competency is a personal ability that reflects a stable, mature, wise and authoritative personality, becomes a role model for students, and has a noble character.  

3)      Social Competence

Social competency is the teacher's ability to communicate and interact effectively with students, fellow educators, education personnel, parents / guardians of students, and the surrounding community.  

4)      Professional Competence

Professional competence is the mastery of learning material widely and deeply, which includes mastery of curriculum subject matter in schools and scientific substance that overshadow the material, as well as mastery of the structure and scientific methodology.

The four competencies mentioned above are holistic and integrative in teacher performance. Therefore,   the teacher's competency figure includes :

a)      The introduction of students in depth;

b)      Mastery of the field of study in both disciplines (disciplinary content) and teaching materials in the school curriculum

c)      The implementation of educational learning which includes planning and implementing learning, evaluating learning processes and outcomes, and follow-up for improvement and enrichment; and

d)     Continuous development of personality and professionalism. Teachers who have competence will be able to carry out their duties professionally (Ngainun Naim, 2009: 60).
