INTRODUCTION
Indonesian Law RI 2003 No.
20 regarding the National Education System and Government Regulation No.
19 on National Education Standards (PP RI 2005 No.
define teachers as professional educators.
Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture explicitly states that professional teachers are required to have plenty of competencies.
Competency is a series of knowledge, skills, and behaviors that teachers must possess and live with in order to carry out tasks in teaching.
It is imperative for professional teachers to possesses pedagogical, professional, personality, and social competencies.
Atay .
specifically mentions that pedagogical competency as well as recognizing and putting more attention to teacher professionalism play a big role in improving student achievement.
The aforementioned competencies may be achieved by teachers through a series of training programs.
Education has a central role in preparing the generation to work in society, especially by mastering competencies according to the demands of the workforce in the industry 4.
The main competency that must be possessed by the students is related to critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, collaboration, and communication (Ananiadou & Claro, 2.
They are the standard competencies that should be possessed by the students.
TeacherAos ability in conducting teaching-learning processes is one studentsAo key to success for students in graduating from senior high schools since teachers play an important role in the educational system in Desimone.
Smith, & Ueno .
state that professional development is an important mechanism that can improve teachersAo content knowledge and the quality of teaching practices.
Thus, the Indonesian government through the Ministry of Education and Culture granted legal recognition to the teaching profession in 2005.
This is stated in the regulation of the Minister of Research.
Technology and Higher Education (Permenristekdikti 2017 No.
concerning teacher education standards.
Teachers are professional educators who have the main task of educating, teaching, guiding, directing, training, assessing, and evaluating students in the formal early childhood, elementary, and higher education.
Darling-Hammond .
argues that in managing an effective teaching-learning process, teachers must possess several competencies, including verbal communication skills, mastery of subject matter, having a graduate diploma, being certified teachers, and is experienced in teaching.
Verbal communication skills are related to the teacherAos ability to convey content knowledge orally and in writing, as well as in action to students in order to improve In terms of mastery of content knowledge, subject teachers are more likely to understand the teaching material extensively.
The teachers should be able to master the subject matter to be able to transform it into instructions.

These competencies should be improved in that professionalism is improved.
The implementation of quality education in Senior High Schools (SMA) and Vocational High Schools (SMK) must be able to deal with changes existing at the moment and in the future.
The changes may be in the aspect of information technology and communication or science.
Teacher as the agent of change in schools is responsible for coping with these changes.
Craft .
stated that teachers face rapid changes, demand for high standards, and demands for quality improvement, thus requiring them to update and improve their knowledge and skills through learning.
Responding to the fourth industrial revolution era, teachers are expected to always improve competencies and professionalism sustainably by taking part in various training programs, seminars, and workshops individually and or in groups.
Various programs of teacher professional development are held by the government, but the teachers are reluctant to join.
Institutional partnerships among universities in Indonesia try to investigate how senior and vocational high school teacherAos professionalism is developed from the aspects of the pedagogical self-development, publications, and innovative works.
Teachers are an integral part of the education system in schools so that they must be able to bring a conducive learning atmosphere for students to develop their potential in facing the changing demands of industry 4.
A study by Guskey .
shows that teacher professionalism has a positive impact on teacher independence and student achievement.
Independent professional development is considered essential for teachers as universities, in general, are not capable of providing a variety of services for their alumni.
Teachers need years of experience to be able to conduct an effective teaching-learning process.
Moreover, they need to continuously learn about the challenges and demands of the fourth industrial era revolution (Mizell, 2.
Specifically, the Regulation of the Minister of the Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (Permen PAN 2009 No.

integrated with the teacher career development program which includes: .
self-development, .
scientific publications, and .
innovative Thus, every effort to develop a teacher career position is always related to the improvement of four teacher competencies, namely pedagogical, professional, personality, and social.
Professional development integrated with the development of teacher career positions has positive impacts on teacher professionalism as they need to keep on developing their professionalism continuously to deal with as well as to adapt and adjust to internal and external changes and the uncertainties in the fourth industrial era.
This is in line with Trorey .
who states that professional development goes along with self-development.
This development involves the process of developing their own abilities that will be used in various internal and external situations in schools.
In addition.

shows the positive long-term impacts of orientation and benefits of professional development on career and functional roles.
This means that senior high school teachers should carry out self-development in order to adapt to changes.
This research tries to depict the effort done by senior and vocational high school teachers to independently develop their professionalism with the support from schools.
The schools are located in two provinces, the Special Region of Yogyakarta and West Kalimantan.

Based on the teachersAo responses, it can be concluded that teacher pedagogical competency depends mainly on the teacherAos activeness in working individually.
Moreover, teacher forums positively contribute to teacher pedagogical competence improvement.
Figures 2 and 3 show in detail how teachers manage the teaching-learning process by utilizing various learning sources.

Other teachers argue that the learning materials provided on the internet are more up to date, thus motivating students to be active in class.
Furthermore, it has many tasks and projects for students to complete.
It is time for teachers in the fourth industrial era to consider integrating ICT in learning more frequently because the students that they are now teaching have different preferences from the students that taught 10 years ago.
Integrating more ICT at this time will make teachers more creative in designing learning so that learning is more interesting (Hussin, 2.
Similarly.
Prestridge.
Tondeur, & Ottenbreit-Leftwich .
argue that the use of ICT-based media lets teachers explore more ideas to teach and as a result, students will have chances to learn from various resources.
Teachers make use of ICT-based learning resources as learning media to motivate the students to actively participate in learning both in classrooms and outside the classrooms.
addition, the teachers want to update the subject matter, as well as expand the knowledge of the subject matter that is not available in the books.
The advancement of information technology and the computer has become the basis for teachers to use technology in every lesson.
Most of the respondents use their laptops and the internet to optimize learning processes .
4%).
As many 9% of the teachers use books only, and 9% of them use realia.
However, there are few teachers who make use of realia, simulator, and teaching aids.
It indicates that senior and vocational high school teachers prefer to use conventional learning strategies.
Herold .
stated that the way teachers use learning technology to integrate conventional learning strategies becomes a promising starting point in professional development programs.
However, most teachers should better understand how technology should be implemented into teaching and learning processes to transform into studentcentered learning and improve with the use of technology (Chen, 2.
In other hand.
Ananiadou & Claro .
finds that utilizing ICT-based media can improve the teaching and learning process.
In learning, teachers should be aware of how to utilize learning materials, such as student worksheets, modules, practicum sheets.

This illustrates that more than a third of the teachers have excellent pedagogical competency in understanding the principles of the assessment process and student learning outcomes.
Barry .
states that effective teachers are those who understand student characteristics, learning styles, and potential as learners.
Moreover, good teachers understand teaching material .
well, so they pay more attention to the learning that is carried out.
For future vocational teachers, the core competencies that are relevant to the hard skill aspect are pedagogical knowledge, content knowledge, and educational technology.

Although most senior and vocational high school teachers have attended various training and seminars/workshops, they sometimes are not able to apply the knowledge.

Teacher Scientific Publications PP RI 2005 No.

To develop professionalism, the teacherAos ability to communicate is specifically focused on classroom action research, scientific publications, and learning module writing.
Besides, teachers trying to get a better functional position, for example from ib to ic, must have a credit score from scientific publications and/or innovative works (Permen PAN 2009 No.
