The Role of Technology in Promoting Teacher Professionalism: An Analysis of Technology Integration in Teaching and Learning in Schools

This study aims to analyze the role of technology in promoting teacher professionalism, focusing on integrating technology in teaching and learning in schools. Through a qualitative approach with a case study design, the research aims to explore the extent to which technology can enhance teaching quality, expand teacher skills, and improve the efficiency of the learning process. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers who have integrated technology into their teaching, accompanied by direct observation and document analysis, to understand the implementation of technology in the context of learning holistically. The results show that integrating technology in teaching and learning in schools significantly positively impacts teacher professionalism. Teachers who actively use technology tend to have broader skills in designing relevant and engaging learning experiences and can provide students with better feedback. Technology also facilitates collaboration among teachers and expands access to educational resources. However, challenges such as limited access and technological readiness, as well as challenges in effectively integrating technology, still need to be addressed to maximize the potential of technology in enhancing teacher professionalism overall.
