Evaluation of Program Pendidikan Guru Penggerak to Encourage Literacy Learning

Abstract

Data and research show that the literacy level in the city of Pasuruan is low. Data from the Ministry of Education and Culture shows that on average only 68.2% of the population of East Java province often read, be it reading newspapers, books, holy books or news on the internet, the city of Pasuruan as part of East Java province of course also has conditions that are not much different. Program Pendidikan Guru Penggerak (PPGP) is a leadership education program for teachers to become learning leaders. In this program a Calon Guru Penggerak (CGP) is required to develop a school program. In the midst of facts about the low level of literacy in Pasuruan City, 16 CGP from Pasuruan City developed a school program with the aim of increasing students' literacy skills. This study aims to find out what changes a CGP experiences during PPGP and the impact of these changes on the development of school programs that improve literacy skills. PPGP provides clear evidence of positive changes in CGP's self, be it changes in knowledge, changes in mindset or changes in behavior. This change is expected in PPGP because it makes CGP a student-centered learning leader. PPGP has also raised awareness of CGP's partiality towards students, this alignment has encouraged CGP to map students' needs before they develop program plans. PPGP also teaches the BAGJA flow which provides knowledge to CGP on how to plan programs systematically. In other words PPGP has had an impact on the CGP of Pasuruan City to develop a school program that will encourage literacy in Pasuruan City.
