In the context of education, the progress of science and technology requires serious attention because the world of education is the most effective means in the spread of science and technology. Conventional system slowly began to lag far behind. Currently learning is not only about class, but also using digital and online media. However, education must also be vigilant to be able to stem the negative effects of the development of science and technology. Without effective supervision, then the real negative effects that will be accepted from the progress of science and technology. This is because, the students of digital connoisseurs will get used to and easily access and exploit the development of science and technology without knowing the harm caused. Although in addition to these negative effects, there are many positive effects of the development of science and technology. It's just necessary placement in accordance with the norms and rules that apply.
In response, the teacher as the main actor of education should not turn a blind eye. Teachers now have to be smarter and smarter than their students in addressing technological developments that are increasingly booming. Do not let a teacher have a disease "can not computer", considering in this day and age the students are more familiar with the world of technology and communication. The backwardness of teachers in the world of science and technology will backfire that will affect the professionalism of teacher training. The main problem of education in Indonesia today is still many teachers who stutter the technology. While the students faced is a very opaque human beings of technology. Simply put, today many students are more intelligent in the world of technology than their teachers. Such a gap can not be left unpunished so as not to be fatal in the process of education.
Technological advances have the potential to make students quickly satisfied with the knowledge they gain, so as to regard what they get from the internet or this technology is the most correct and complete knowledge. Therefore, the quality of teachers who are empty of technology will not be able to instill "critical power" to students to become revolutionary human beings. So they are hampered to explore his potential. In response, teachers should not stutter technology (gaptek) and should always try to motivate themselves in the world of technology. Support from various circles is also very needed by the teacher. Particularly protection and welfare gained from the government, will make teachers become more professional in meeting the needs of students in the increasing availability of facilities and infrastructure.
The development of Indonesia's national education gained new strength and enthusiasm with the enactment of Law No. 20 of 2003 on the national education system. The adoption of the law brings consequences and implications for education, including teachers. The strength and spirit of the implementation of education is also increasing with the enactment of Law No. 14 of 2005 on teachers and lecturers.
Protection for teachers is a law order. In law, professional protection, safety protection, occupational health, and IPR (Intellectual Property Rights). Legal protection includes protection against acts of violence, threats, intimidation, discriminatory treatment and unfair treatment of learners, parents of learners, bureaucratic society, or other parties. Professional protection includes protection against termination of employment that is not in accordance with laws and regulations. Unreasonable rewards, restrictions on the delivery of views, harassment of professions, restrictions or other restrictions that may hinder teachers in performing their duties, as well as obstacles to carrying out further studies.
Master is a profession that is vital in education. Teachers are the implementers of education and learning. Without teachers, both learning objectives and educational processes will be difficult to achieve. But being a teacher is not an easy task. It needs to be prepared both by birth and mental, mental readiness, readiness of science, and other readiness that menjadika teachers deserve to be role models by learners.
To ensure the quality of a person's work is professional, it is necessary to have control over it. There are two forms of control and supervision of the profession of teachers, namely (1) protection efforts made by the government through authority in the field of public law, and (2) the implementation of control by the private sector through professional code of ethics.
Hopefully the policy of professional protection of teachers immediately issued, namely the decision of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia. This is so that the teachers in carrying out their duties to get protection, both preventive and curative, which ultimately the quality of teachers in Indonesia will meni.
