Abstract

Education quality has long become a serious concern, and this issue relies much on teachers. It is an undeniable fact that the ways teachers manage teaching-learning relate to the education quality leading students to expected learning output according to the objectives of national education and development. In this response, teacher qualification and professionalism become the main issue and remain debates in numerous conferences nationally and internationally, that end up in the need of attempts to standardize teachers, yet standardizing teachers in ASEAN countries. Referring to the Indonesian Teacher Act of 2005, Indonesia has setup a certain standard of criteria for teacher qualification and their competence. However, there are still problems in the implementation of this regulation despite comprehensive studies for improvement. In spite of this, Indonesia’s experience in standardizing/certifying teachers could be considered as a lesson to standardize teachers in ASEAN countries in relation to the spirit of sharing and developing a better ASEAN community. This paper will discuss attempts undertaken by Indonesia teacher training and education institutions in pursuing quality teacher training and education. There are several selected criteria to meet teacher standardization and competence that may contribute to a mutual cooperation among ASEAN countries and ASEAN teachers in the future. Key words: Certified Teaching Competence, Professional Teacher Training and Education, ASEAN Teacher Standardization, Curriculum of National Qualification Framework
