Abstract

This study aims to show the opportunities and challenges of teachers based on their competence through self-reflection activities. Teachers need self-awareness to correct deficiencies when carrying out their professional duties. Running the profession teacher demands to be a lifelong learner which can be done through self-reflection activities. The research approach uses a qualitative narrative method. In-depth interviews with selected informants were carried out for data collection. There are established criteria for selecting resource persons including length of time teaching, having done self-reflection, and having carried out self-development activities. The results show challenges and opportunities from self-reflection activities carried out by the teacher. The teacher’s challenge to self-reflection comes from internal and external. From an internal perspective, self-reflection activities by teachers have challenges related to self-motivation, self-satisfaction, and the need to develop oneself. Meanwhile, externally, the challenge for teachers to do self-reflection is the influence of colleagues, school facilities that support teachers, government programs, and conditions of students. There are opportunities for teachers to carry out self-reflection activities consistently including motivation from teachers to do self-reflection, school support, support from the surrounding environment including the government, and mastery of information technology. If this opportunity is used correctly, it will make it easier for teachers to face the challenges of consistently and continuously doing self-reflection.
