Introduction
To become a professional teacher, one must be able to know and master about
education and teaching, so special requirements must be required. As stated in the
Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 14 of 2005 on Teachers and Lecturers, it is
explained that teachers have a strategic role in national development in the field of
education.
The teaching profession is a special field of work carried out based on the
following principles: Having talent, interest, calling and idealism, having a
commitment to improving the quality of education, faith, piety, and noble character,
having quality academic educational background by the field of duty, has the
necessary competence by the field of duty, has the responsibility for the
implementation of professional duties, earns an income determined by the work
profession, has the opportunity to develop professionalism sustainably by lifelong
learning, has guaranteed legal protection in carrying out tasks professionalism, and
has a professional organization that has the authority to regulate matters relating to the
professional duties of teachers
 Of the nine principles above, it has been explained that if you want to become
a teacher you must have talent, interest, calling, idealism, commitment to improving
the quality of education, faith, devotion, etc., then the teacher must be by the main
objective, namely to educate according to their profession. This means that if the
teacher has expertise in the field of education, then he must teach according to his
profession. Likewise, his talents can make students more active in the learning
process.
Supervision is carried out by the principal, namely to improve the
competence of teachers in teaching and learning activities, so that they are
expected to fulfill the teaching mission they carry or the national education
mission in a wider scope. As we all know, the problem of the teaching
profession in carrying out teaching and learning activities will always and
continue and the assistance of supervision from the principal is very
important in developing teacher professionalism in carrying out their duties
optimally. The principal wants the support of teacher performance which is
always a consistent increase in implementing learning in school.
 In teaching activities, two main abilities must be mastered by
teachers, lecturers, and instructors, namely: (1) mastering the
material or teaching material to be taught, (2) mastering the
methodology, or how to teach it. Basic teaching skills are included
in the second aspect, namely how to teach students. Basic teaching
skills must be possessed and mastered by every teacher, lecturer, or
instructor, because with basic teaching skills that teaching is not
just a process of conveying knowledge, but involves broader
aspects such as fostering attitudes, emotions, character, habits, and
values.
