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.
