Peningkatan Kompetensi Literasi Guru SMA N 1 Grobogan

Abstract

This community service initiative was motivated by the fact that many teachers at SMA N 1 Grobogan faced difficulties in creating literacy-based questions aligned with the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM). The program focused on enhancing teachers' competence in developing such questions. Its objectives were to provide teachers with understanding and practical experience regarding: 1) types of literacy, 2) stages of literacy, and 3) the construction of literacy questions. The program employed the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, comprising three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. An andragogical approach was used, prioritizing practical application over theory, with a ratio of 25% theory to 75% hands-on guidance. The program's success was evidenced by improved teacher understanding of literacy types and enhanced skills in creating literacy questions. The initiative significantly boosted the teachers' understanding and skills in implementing literacy practices. The increase in average post-test scores across all categories demonstrated the effectiveness of the training method. These results also underscore the importance of continuous support for teachers' professional development in literacy. The program recommends conducting follow-up training to deepen the integration of project-based literacy learning and to develop collaborative literacy questions for teacher use.
