Abstract


ABSTRAK: Cabaran-cabaran alaf baru seperti globalisasi, impak teknologi maklumat, transformasi antarabangsa ke arah ekonomi berasaskan ilmu, dan persaingan antara wilayah dan antarabangsa telah mencetus pelbagai perubahan dalam bidang pendidikan di seluruh dunia. Penggubal-penggubal polisi dan para pendidik di setiap negara perlu memikirkan bagaimana untuk mengadakan reformasi dalam bidang pendidikan bagi menyediakan pemimpin-pemimpin muda supaya lebih efektif untuk menghadapi cabaran-cabaran baru di era baru. Oleh itu, kita perlu mempunyai satu program pendidikan guru yang mengintegrasikan program pendidikan guru pra-perkhidmatan, program pendidikan guru dalam perkhidmatan dan program pendidikan guru yang berterusan yang merupakan komponen-komponen penting dalam pola kerjaya semua guru. Kertas kerja ini memberikan beberapa cadangan pendekatan yang boleh diguna-pakai oleh pemimpin-pemimpin pendidikan tentang bagaimana kita boleh membantu guru-guru mencapai tahap profesionalisme yang tinggi dan pada masa yang sama mampu menjunjung standard professional guru yang akan dicadangkan.

Kata-kata kunci: cabaran alaf baru, generasi masa hadapan, profesionalisme guru, dan reformasi pendidikan guru.
