An Analysis of the Conformity Level between the Importance Level and Program Performance at the Subject Teacher Forum

Abstract

This present research aims at obtaining information about the conformity level between the levels of importance and performance of the teachers’ professional development program at the Subject Teacher Forum based on teachers’ perceptions. There are five research indicators, namely: program structure, administrator’s readiness, teachers’ needs, teachers’ motivation and institutional support. The research subjects were junior high school Mathematics teachers. The data collection technique used a questionnaire with a Likert scale, consisting of five importance level points and five performance points. This research analysis used a quantitative descriptive approach. The results point out that there are three indicators whose conformity level is above average (> 81%) and close to 100%, namely program structure, teachers’ needs and teachers’ motivation. The conclusion is that the level of conformity between the level of importance and program performance tends to be good. However, this program is necessary to improve institutional support and administrator’s readiness.
