INTRODUCTION

Fully aware that to pursue the fight against poverty and backwardness and ignorance of

the goal of building nation to realize a just and prosperous society, the need for dedication

and hard work from various parties.

The educational development of children, adolescents and youth pursued through the

development in various fields which are supported by a conducive climate for the

Physical education is no less important in the context of development. Physical education is

an integral part of national daripendidikan involving components of physical condition.

According to Harsono (1978: 2) that: "Physical education is an important aspect for

achieving the goal of education or an education through physical activities."

Because the function of a physical education teacher, the institution responsible for the

implementation of school administration and is the cultural center of science, need to

improve the quality of physical education. Said above that physical education is an important

aspect for achieving the goal of education or an education through the activities of the body,

then indirectly increase physical well affect your performance in all areas of work. This

aspect is starting point of education and guidance of teachers who become the source of

knowledge to educate the younger generation as the successor nation-building. In addition,

students' learning process can be improved if a physical education teacher was berkriteria

professionals in performing their duties.

So it is with teachers who teach in primary schools, which serve as an example to students

for independent bias, in other words the task or the teacher was very dominant role in the

formation of personality of students. As Winarno Surachmad (1987: 20) that: The task and

role of physical education teacher at the school diperiodisasikan to three things: 1) The

educational preparation, 2) The actual education, 3) The formation of self-education.

Periodization applicable education means the education experienced by children in

accordance with the growth and development of physical and spiritual children. With the

periodization of education, especially teachers of physical education and anticipate the time

available to shape the personality of students. Interaction of students with physical education

teachers is an interaction in the put where physical education teachers are the closest to the

students than teachers of other subjects. Teacher interaction with students not only

sebagani a mastery of teaching materials, but many things that must be considered. As

noted by Abraham and Nana Syaodih (1991: 23) that: "The interaction of teachers withstudents not only in the mastery of teaching materials, but in the acceptance of values,

developing attitudes and in overcoming difficulties faced by students. Thus the role of the

teacher not only as a teacher or coach, but also as an educator and mentor.

To this fact shows that the activities of teaching and learning in elementary school, having

problems, both internal and eksteren. Examples are internal, such as discipline problems of

students who can not be handled teacher effectively also still many teachers who are not

mastering the subject matter so the quality is expected not adequate. While the problem

eksteren is a shortage of teachers who teach in schools so that schools that lack teachers

took the teachers' salaries which must be paid by the schools concerned. As these


3/12

constraints greatly affect the activities of teaching and learning in schools.

The purpose of physical education that must be considered by the teacher after the students

completed primary school is a must have: "1) The ability to distinguish right from wrong, 2)

The ability to share experiences and give priority to the interests of others, 3) Ability to build

friendship and brotherhood, 4) Curiosity in various ways, 5) Ability to think and express

themselves, 6) Sense of pride in his work, and 7) healthy living habits. "

Khsus about teachers who have not mastered the subject matter and the role and duties as

an educator in improving students' learning process, should be equipped with knowledge

and skills that are adequate so that the expected goals can be achieved. To equip teachers

with knowledge and skills to be implemented with appropriate strategies to improve the

quality of teachers in particular and overall education quality.

Santoso Hamidjojo (1979: 12) says that: "Improving the quality of education, should be

judged from the starting point strategy, namely education teachers that must be resolved

according to the ability of talent and dedication, so that they can develop the latent abilities

of students. Improving the quality of education in schools should start or be accompanied by

an increase in the quality of education of teachers. "

Understanding the strategy itself according Sugiyanto (1993: 31) are: efforts and strategies

undertaken by individuals or groups to achieve a particular. Thus efforts to improve the

quality of teachers in students' learning process, especially physical education teachers,

need to use the right strategy. It is very important as a preparation for a physical education

teacher to organize a strategy to improve student learning.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Function Physical Education Teachers In Primary Schools

The function of physical education teachers are very important in teacher training

organization. This is seen by the activities carried out by teachers to improve the quality of

student learning in particular subjects of physical education in schools. Teachers as well as

other adults, have a responsibility mature students. To achieve the desired results then the

function is very important teachers and determine the success of students' learning

processes in schools.

Through the function of teachers' students can be developed, nurtured into human


4/12

personality. In this case any students can not develop optimally and completely without help

from others. The function and role of teachers is very important, therefore, through the

function and role of the teacher is the successful achievement of predetermined objectives.

By looking at the function of teachers is crucial to achieve the goal of education especially

students' learning process, the physical education teachers need to have the capability and

adequate teaching strategies. Like what was said by Santoso Hamidjojo (1979: 12) that:

"Improving the quality of education in schools should be initiated or accompanied by an

increase in the quality of education faculty." This is important because the role and function

of physical education teachers in enhancing students' learning process is as follows : 1)

Function Instructional, 2) educational function, 3) managerial functions. Explanation of the

three functions are as follows:

Instructional Functions

Function instructional is to teach (to teach) in the sense of preparing learning materials that

will be taught, presents to his students, giving her duties, repeated to them and correcting or

judged.

Educational Functions

In addition to teaching, teachers should also guide the students to be human is responsible

and citizens who Pancasila true and devoted to God

Managerial Functions

In the issue of teacher development is expected to carry out managerial functions of

leadership in accordance with the rhythm of development and philosophy of life of the nation.

The teacher said as a parent at the school is an effective disguise. This is because at schoolsubstitute teacher is a parent, so who knows closely with the children learners while

providing lessons that nurture. This is as said by Winarno Surachmad (1987: 65) that:

"Parents are the primary educators for children and teachers also serve as an educator in

charge of helping parents to give children the knowledge necessary for future development

into an adult human." Through the subjects taught school (teacher) tried to increase and

expand knowledge of children who would look at changing behavior.

Predicate teacher attached to the adults in charge of routine convey knowledge and

intellectual skills and motor skills to students who are generally younger called the pupil.

Teachers often a fad for the pupils at the school either formally or informally outside the


5/12

school.

As a consequence of an existing predicate, then all actions, words and deeds were

prosecuted as acts, words and deeds a person on duty at the time of formal teacher at the

school. The role of the teacher not only to deliver teaching materials to be accepted and

internalized by the students but also have roles as well as other functions that are diverse.

Once upon a time also have to guide children to learn, occasionally have to set an example

and even led the students when needed and probably many more role-pean other.

Duties Teacher Physical Education

Teachers are the source of inspiration and drives to the students to be independent and

professional in the conduct of all activities that are based on rational thinking. Teachers

described as a bridge science, because human gurulah got a very useful science for

personality and nation-building.

At school, physical education teachers' task is not just educate and teach the students but

have other duties yangs significantly improve student achievement. Bleak to say Nadisah

(1992: 17) that: "Teachers of physical education not only has the main task of educating and

teaching physical education, he is also burdened with the task of educating and teaching

health education. Therefore he demanded to know and understand and be able to carry the

burden that this second task. "

In addition, teachers also is a role model to students with attitudes positive and have the

knowledge, skill, truth, honesty and the properties of a good and commendable. That's why

teachers should be able to meet the mental characteristics, interests and needs of each

student in order to provide guidance and lessons as well as possible and as effectively as

possible in accordance to the individual every child.

The task of physical education teachers in performing their duties, should also pay attention

to that prevailing in the school curriculum for students' learning process can be done by

professionals and the regulations that etrdapat in the curriculum. In rendering the decision or

assessment, teachers must be objective as stated by Rochmah Bakti (1992: 2) that: "In the

world of education, implementation of quality education is dependent upon teacher quality as

well. Teacher quality is the teacher who has the terms of personality and technical skills

teacher training. "

Therefore, physical education teacher should not impose his will but follow the learning


6/12

activities based on rules that are determined by the school based on the existing curriculum.

With the learning process conducted by a physical education teacher like this, of course, the

level of student achievement will increase. In the era of globalization today is certainly the

duty of a teacher that will grow complicated yet so with the advance of technology is

certainly the teacher can perform the task well.

high level of achievement.

Third Level Learning Phase

Teachers have a duty to stabilize kemamuan-motor skills acquired by learners and develop

these skills in various situations and circumstances as has been stated.

With the difference in the duties of a physical education teacher at the school as expressed

before, then a physical education teacher should be able to adapt to every task that should

be implemented based on the existing phases.

The success of teachers in performing their duties depends on the willingness, perseverance

and the related effort to master the various competencies required in the ideal job. A teacher

has a double duty as an educator and as a teacher. As an educator duties pertaining to the

development of personal, development of moral attitudes desired by the community. As a

teacher of teachers has the task to develop the knowledge and skills necessary for everyone

Adar to work, think, act, communicate and perform daily activities. For teacher assignment

goes well, it is necessary to develop personal potential to become mature and capable of

rational thought and personal competence.
