Synergy Among Institutions in the Development of Professional Teachers

involving the real roles and synergy of relevant institutions. Teacher development has so far tended to be carried out by universities and the central government, but has not yet meaningfully involved the roles of professional organizations and local governments. The research method used is qualitative method. The data collection method employs interviews and documentation. Interviews were conducted with the management of the Bachelor of Education program and the Professional Teacher Education program, representatives of teacher professional organizations, and teachers in schools. This research found the importance of synergy among higher education institutions, professional organizations, schools, and the government in the development of professional teachers. A design outlining the roles of each institution in every process of teacher development needs to be created. With good cooperation, a sense of responsibility, and high loyalty, the development of the teaching profession will proceed in a clear, planned, and targeted manner. Like other established professional organizations, periodic recertification of teachers is necessary, with the hope that the quality of teachers will increase.
