ibu dan bapak pada video ini kita akan

melihat praktik refleksi perjalanan

menjadi guru kali ini kita akan

berefleksi bersama seorang guru yang

sudah berpengalaman mengajar lebih dari

10 tahun Halo Pak Samsuri Sudah berapa

lama Bapak menjadi guru 18 tahun 10

bulan kalau saya mengajak bapak untuk

kilas balik perjalanan menjadi guru Apa

yang membuat Pak Sam yakin menjadi guru

Jujur dari awal memang tidak ada

sedikitpun keyakinan menjadi seorang

guru karena saya ingin bercita-cita

menjadi seorang dokter pada saat itu

Namun karena kondisi ekonomi yang tidak

memungkinkan Akhirnya saya kisaran dari

orang tua saya dan guru BK pada saat itu

untuk mengambil

kuliah pendidikan dan jurusan yang saya

ambil pada saat itu biologi sewaktu awal

Bapak menjadi guru bapak itu sosok guru

yang seperti apa Ya saya ditempatkan di

satu sekolah yang baru saja dibuka di

tahun 2003 jadi baru pertama kali

diterima siswanya pada saat itu jarak

dari kabupaten kota ke tempat saya itu

beruntung 9 jam jauh sekali guru

honornya sudah banyak jadi mata

pelajaran yang saya ampuh pada saat itu

Jadi diambil oleh guru honor yang lain

dan yang tersisa hanya pelajaran sejarah

dan bahasa Inggris sehingga saya pada

saat itu ditugaskan untuk mengajar

bahasa Inggrisnya sejarah sulit sekali

bagi saya sampai pada saat itu saya

ingin berhenti menjadi seorang guru tapi

alhamdulillah belum sampai 3 bulan saya

dipindahkan ke kota menggalanya di situ

selesai banyak prestasi di bidang musik

juga tarik suara Akhirnya saya dipercaya

untuk memanage Kegiatan musik di sana

akibatnya Saya tidak fokus untuk

mengajar yang terpikir oleh Saya hanya

bagaimana menyelesaikan materi yang

diberikan tanpa memikirkan apapun tanpa

berdiskusi yang penting waktunya cukup

saya pikirkan pada saat itu kayak mana

semuanya bisa tersampaikan waktunya

cukup tanpa memikirkan Apakah peserta

didik tersebut mengerti apa yang saya

sampaikan

apakah ada perubahan dari saat awal

Bapak mengajar dengan bapak yang

sekarang Lalu apa saja perubahannya

Alhamdulillah banyak sekali perubahan

mulai dari awal saya mengajar sampai

saat ini

saat ini saya dipercaya menjadi seorang

Kepala UPT SMP Negeri 28 Bandar Lampung

saya merasa menjadi seorang pemimpin

yang

lebih bersifat terbuka

mudah menerima masukan dari siapapun

bahkan dari peserta didik sekalipun Dan

saya merasa menjadi lebih dekat dengan

peserta didik luar biasa sekali

sehingga proses pembelajaran yang saya

alami itu menjadi lebih menyenangkan

bahagia peserta didik menjadi bahagia

kemudian saya juga menjadi lebih dekat

dengan

rekan-rekan sejawat sehingga

berkolaborasi dengan sangat mudah wah

banyak ya perubahannya hal apa sih yang

membuat bapak berubah banyak sekali yang

membuat saya berubah diantaranya adalah

setelah saya mengikuti program

pendidikan guru penggerak selama 9 bulan

saya banyak belajar dari fasilitastor

Kemudian dari instruktur dan juga dari

pengajar praktek untuk memahami tentang

teori dan filsafat dari Ki Hajar

Dewantara Ki Hajar Dewantara menyatakan

bahwa ada kodrat alam dan kodrat zaman

dimana pada setiap anak dilahirkan itu

sudah memiliki garis-garis tipis ya

kodratnya yang memang belum tebal Nah di

sinilah fungsi kita sebagai seorang

pendidik kita harus memberikan

peluang kesempatan

memfasilitasi memotivasi memberikan

dukungan sepenuhnya agar potensi yang

ada di dalam diri peserta didik itu

dapat dimaksimalkan dan ingat fungsi

seorang guru atau seorang pendidik bukan

mengintimidasi peserta didik tapi

memberikan kebebasan kepada mereka untuk

dapat memaksimalkan potensi yang ada

dalam diri mereka Oh begitu Pak

tantangannya Seperti apa ya saat Bapak

melakukan perubahan tantangan yang

paling pertama muncul pada saat itu

terpikir Bagaimana ya saya mengatur

waktu saya dan juga bagaimana ya saya

melakukan perubahan yang akan saya

lakukan untuk ke depannya itu saja

sebenarnya Selain faktor internal tadi

juga ada faktor eksternal

ketidakpahaman dari teman-teman

sejawat kemudian kepala sekolah itu

sangat menghambat saya untuk mengajak

teman-teman atau berkolaborasi dengan

teman-teman dalam menerapkan program

yang sudah saya buat lalu apa sih faktor

yang membantu proses perubahan Bapak

faktor yang membantu perubahan yang

pertama faktor internal dari dalam diri

pada saat saya down saya merasa lemah

saya melakukan teknik stop

saya kembali berefleksi

mengingat sebenarnya Tujuan yang akan

saya capai ini apa

dari situ maka akan kembali timbul

motivasi yang kuat dalam diri saya untuk

terus belajar dan berkembang

tentunya faktor eksternal yaitu keluarga

memberikan peran yang sangat luar biasa

penting disitu saya diberi motivasi saya

di doakan sehingga saya tenang sekali

melakukan segala sesuatunya dengan mudah

karena mendapatkan dukungan penuh dari

keluarga selain itu juga rekan-rekan

sejawat saya juga memberikan motivasi

agar saya terus berkembang dan terus

maju Dan tidak terlepas dukun yang

paling luar biasa saya dapatkan dari

pimpinan saya sehingga saya bisa

menerapkan program-program yang sudah

saya buat di lingkungan sekolah maupun

dalam kelas saya sering sekali melakukan

kolaborasi untuk melakukan sharing

dengan teman-teman yang memiliki

keresahan yang sama di situ kami

membentuk komunitas praktisi di sekolah

saya

dengan komunitas praktisi ini kami

mencoba untuk Bergerak bersama mencari

solusi-solusi terhadap permasalahan yang

muncul baik dalam merencanakan maupun

melaksanakan kegiatan pembelajaran itu

sehingga pembelajarannya kami lakukan

bisa menjadi lebih baik dan lebih baik

lagi

disitu program-program pun dapat

berjalan dengan lancar Bagaimana proses

belajar menuju ke sana Pak

proses menuju perubahan Tentunya saya

lakukan dengan saya mengikuti program

guru penggerak di situ saya belajar

dengan fasilitastor instruktur pengajar

praktek tentang filosofi dan makna

pendidikan menurut Ki Hajar Dewantara

Lalu bagaimana perasaannya setelah Bapak

berubah sepertinya

ada sesuatu yang sangat luar biasa kok

bisa seorang Samsuri yang dulu bersifat

egois lebih tertutup belajar hanya untuk

mementingkan kepentingan sendiri ini

bisa menjadi lebih terbuka lebih sabar

mudah berkomunikasi dengan orang lain

dan berkolaborasi luar biasa menurut

saya Nah setelah melakukan refleksi ini

bagaimana perasaan Bapak boleh

dijelaskan menggunakan roda emosi Pak

perasaan saya

campur aduk

sedih sekalian saya rasakan sekarang

terhadap apa yang sudah saya lakukan

Sebelum saya menjadi seperti ini

bayangkan dulu

begitu banyak peserta didik yang saya

tidak perhatikan

tidak saya pedulikan

Saya hanya mementingkan kepentingan

pribadi saya

bayangkan Bagaimana saya harus minta

maaf kepada peserta didik yang dulu

Sudah saya sia-siakan mohon maaf

Saya merasa sangat sedih

rasanya

semua terbayang semua

jika bisa memutar waktu

saya ingin memperbaiki semuanya Saya

ingin dari dulu menjadi seorang pendidik

yang benar-benar bisa bermanfaat bagi

banyak orang bisa memaksimalkan semua

potensi yang ada dalam peserta didik

jadi dari refleksi ini apa yang ingin

Bapak lakukan

ini tetap bermanfaat tentunya bagi

banyak orang

agar pendidikan di Indonesia ini

terus bisa berkembang dan maju
