READING COMPREHENSION

The Oldest and Largest Profession: Teaching

Profesi Tertua dan Terbesar: Mengajar

            Every one of us is a teacher in one way or other in everyday life. We all teach and we all learn throughout our lives. A great many relationships in ordinary life depend on teaching and learning: parents and children, husband and wife, managers and employees, and so on. However, in real-life school, it is not always easy to become a teacher. First of all, there are some people who should never take the charge of a classroom, and there are others who seem to be perfect for the work. “Born Teachers” we call them.

            Setiap orang dari kita adalah seorang guru dalam satu jalan atau yang lain di kehidupan sehari-hari. Kita semua mengajar dan kita semua belajar sepanjang hidup kita. Banyak hubungan besar dalam kehidupan sehari-hari tergantung pada belajar dan mengajar: orang tua dan anak, suami dan istri, manajer dan karyawan, dan masih banyak lagi. Bagaimanapun, dalam kehidupan nyata sekolah, itu tidak selalu mudah untuk menjadi seorang guru. Pertama-tama, mereka adalah beberapa orang yang seharusnya tidak pernah mengambil alih kelas, dan ada orang lain yang tampaknya menjadi sempurna untuk pekerjaan itu. “Kelahiran guru” kami menyebutnya.

            The task of teachers is central to educations. Teachers must transmit to new generations the cultural heritage of a society – the knowledge, skills, customs, and attitudes acquired over the years. They must also try to develop in their students the ability to adjust to a rapidly changing world.

            Tugas guru berpusat pada pendidikan. Guru harus mengirim generasi baru warisan budaya masyarakat – pengetahuan, kemampuan, adat , dan sikap yang diperoleh selama bertahun-tahun. Mereka juga mencoba untuk mengembangkan pada siswa mereka kemampuan untuk menyesuaikan diri dengan dunia yang cepat berubah.

            The task of teachers has increased in complexity. They are many more students enrolled and they present a broader range of ability, background and interests. Beside, school and university curriculum have become increasingly specialized. This places new demands upon the competency of teachers. They often need intensive preparation in a subject field.

            Tugas guru telah meningkat dalam kompleksitas. Ada banyak siswa yang terdaftar dan mereka hadir dengan kemampuan lebih luas, latar belakang dan kepentingan. Selain itu, sekolah dan kurikulum universitas menjadi semakin khusus. Ini menempatkan tuntutan baru pada kompetensi guru. Mereka sering membutuhkan persiapan yang intensif dalam bidang subjek.

            Teachers are also “instrument of society”. They are responsible to the community. Their contracts with the community usually extend to the parents of their student and to the neighbourhood of the town. In the deprived areas, student may lack good food, clothing, shelter and the incentive to learn. The successful teachers find ways to build the self image of such students so that they can develop in themselves a strong interest in learning.

            Guru juga instrumen masyarakat. Mereka bertanggung jawab pada masyarakat. Hubungan mereka dengan masyarakat biasanya meluas ke orang tua siswa dalam lingkungan kota. Di daerah yang kekurangan (miskin), siswa mungkin kurang baik dalam hal makanan, pakaian, tempat tinggal dan dorongan untuk belajar. Guru-guru yang berhasil, menemukan cara untuk membangun citra diri siswa tersebut, sehingga mereka dapat mengembangkan dalam diri mereka minat belajar yang kuat.
