Abstract: This study aimed to find out whether there is a relationship between the Teacher Competency Test
(UKG) score and the teacher's ability to carry out 21st century learning. This study is a quantitative
study using statistics. The population was the History teachers of the vocational high schools (SMK)
in Surakarta City, Central Java Province, Indonesia, with a total of 54 teachers. The sampling was
based on Non-Probability Sampling (Non-Random Sample) with a Purposive Sampling technique, in
which only 36 history teachers who attended UKG and had UKG scores became the sample of the
study. The data were collected with the document study in the Central Java Education Quality
Assurance Agency (LPMP) to obtain UKG score data and the observation of the teachers' teaching
and the study of the teachers' instructional administration documents using the instrument
determined by the Central Java Provincial Education Office to obtain the data on the application of
the 21st century learning. To obtain the data on the scores of the teachers' abilities to apply 21st
century learning, the researcher collaborated with her colleagues. Thus, the inter rater reliability test
needs be conducted. The calculation result of the average reliability of a rater is 0.979 and the
average rating carried out by 6 raters is 0.996. Thus, the consistency of the raters in responding to the
assessment of 21st century learning is reliable and included in the very high category. The data
processing technique used is the Product Moment Correlation formula. The result of the processing
data has shows that r is 0,838. The contribution of UKG scores toward application for 21st century
learning is 70,22%. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a positive and significant relationship
between the UKG score variable and the teacher's ability to apply 21st century learning. |
