IMPLEMENTATION OF DAPODIC MEDIA SYSTEM IN THE OPTIMIZATION OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE OF PAUD TEACHERS IN MOJOKERTO DISTRICT

Abstract

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the Dapodik media system in optimizing the professional competence of ECCE teachers in Mojokerto Regency. Through the discussion of the research results, it was found that the implementation of the Dapodik media system as a whole was able to assist ECCE institutions in managing data well, including in optimizing teacher professional competence. The results of this study show that the implementation of the Dapodik media system and management strategies carried out by school principals contribute to improving the quality of ECCE institutions. The data contained in Dapodik is the basis for obtaining operational assistance funds that can be used in teacher competency development. ECCE teacher competency development should focus on teachers who have not met competency standards, involving training, study continuation programs, and relevant learning models. This research provides recommendations to relevant parties, such as school principals and local governments, to continue to encourage the use of the Dapodik system in managing ECCE institution data. In addition, collaboration between school principals, teachers, and local governments also needs to be improved to support the development of ECCE teachers' professional competencies. Thus, it is expected that the quality of early childhood education in Mojokerto Regency can continue to be improved through optimizing the professional competence of ECCE teachers.
