MODERNIZATION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION TEACHERS IN INDONESIA

ABSTRACT When carrying out their profession, teachers of Islamic Religious Education require a professional, responsible and competent attitude as mandated in the Teacher and Lecturer Law to achieve National education goals, namely the birth of intelligent, competitive, and competitive Indonesians in all walks of life. Teachers must be taken by teachers through education, training, and professional development when carrying out their professional educators' duties. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods, where the steps of the work are collecting from existing reading material sources, then making a writing framework as desired in the method. The research results indicate that Islamic education teachers' professional development is determined by three essential factors: teacher competence, teacher certification, and teacher professional allowances. Therefore, teacher professionalism is a condition in which the work or activity carried out by a teacher becomes a source of living income that requires expertise, proficiency, or skills that meet specific quality standards or norms and require professional education to hone and improve their competence
