Abstract

The existence of mathematics in schools aim to equip students to be able to think and reason in drawing conclusions. It is also to develop the creative ability to solve problems by using the mindset that a logical, systematic, and effective. This capacity is expected to be the provision sensitizing learners when dealing with various phenomena of life problems. Moreover, as a mathematics teacher should be increasingly sensitive to the cause of the success or failure of the learning that has been done. As a leader who has mathematical abilities are expected to use mathematical mindset that can mengelolaan education maximally as expected the vision and mission of the institution. For example, employment at all establishments or institutions, usually tailored to the skills of the workforce, so that the expected goals these institutions can be achieved. Workforce skills can be measured, among others, through the evidence of diplomas or training certificates have been followed. Labor or human resources (HR) is a major asset of an organization, so that the necessary maintenance of the assets on a regular basis with a serious handling. But in reality, not all institutions aware of the importance of the maintenance of the asset has been owned. Through the Ex-post facto research aims to find out what is the cause of many teachers who have been certified lecturers even still less qualified in performing basic tasks and functions (TOR) it. Interviews were conducted with students who come in Distance Learning Program Unit (UPBJJ) Open University (UT) Semarang also as a teacher. Respondents are teachers in elementary, junior high school or equivalent in a variety of areas that are in the area of Semarang. The interview was done in the period of approximately 4 years on each working day, 5 days a week and on average there are 2 to 3 guests consult students about various things about the education being undertaken at UT. The interview was to ensure the participation of teachers in training to career development as enhancing the competence and quality of self. The question asked among other things, what are the needs of teachers can improve their competence and career. Respondents who have reported to have been involved in training that leads to the career development of teachers, as many as 148 of the 163 teachers, this is equivalent to 91%. This means that only 15 teachers who claimed to have participated in various training, among others, following the introduction of the curriculum in 2013, although in the end in schools where teaching is not used anymore. This statement shows that teachers lack a strong foundation of science keguruannya and requires a lot of preparation to be well qualified. In addition, there is no equalization of training and training programs are planned both for short term and long-term care on career development for teachers. These findings are evidence that there has been a wrong prediction, whether by simply encourage teachers to continue their studies to a higher level can automatically transform and improve the competence of teachers which is useful for the development of his career. When we use the logical mindset will know the answer, why many teachers especially those who have obtained the certification have not been able to perform optimally tupoksinya. Why have not planned equalization institute training programs that can improve the quality and competence of knowledge, attitudes, and skills of teachers? What exactly is required teachers to improve their competence and her career? Actually, when we were able to take advantage of the use of mathematical reasoning and mindset then we have the sharpness think logically to solve the existing problems. Besides a mathematical mindset is actually very affecting work patterns are expected to achieve the vision and mission of the institution as well as in educational institutions.
