Abstract

The development of Teacher Professionalism has become a priority in the education system throughout the world, including in Indonesia. Teacher competency is the government primary focus for improving the quality of education. The government tries to enhance teacher professionalism through Subject Teacher Forum (MGMP) activities. However, the MGMP activities are not well designed; thus, there is a suggestion to include the ABCD approach in the design of MGMP. The approach identifies the community life and serves the community as actors and determinants for increasing their capacity. This research aims to explore how the ABCD approach used in MGMP activities, and how it could improve teacher professionalism. To explore this, the study used a qualitative approach withthe subjects of 37 teachers of Madrasah Aliyah (Islamic high schools) who involved in MGMP program for almost ten months. After participating in one activity cycle, they completed the questionnaire identifying the changes in their competence after and before the program. The results indicated that in average,90% of the teachers believed that they had a lot of materials when they participated in the program. This opportunity helped them improve their professionalism as teachers; they could structure and plan the learning comprehensively. These results can be used as a reference for increasing teacher competency in the future and offered as a way to increase the capacity of teachers through MGMP.
