INTRODUCTION
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic that occurred in various parts of the world, it had an impact on all life-supporting factors, including education. All members must play a role in the world of education so that the essence of education is not lost amid the 19 (covid-19) pandemic. One of the main components is the teacher. 1 Teachers as very strategic perfusion in the formation and empowerment of the nation's children have roles and functions that will be more significant in the future. Teachers have a responsibility for academic performance, not only for the delivery of the material but also for the individual training of their students. 2 In implementing distance learning, teachers can use appropriate learning strategies, such as lesson plans and relevant materials. There are skills that teachers must possess, namely pedagogic skills, professional skills, social skills, and personal skills. 3 Teacher competence does play an important role in the distance learning process (PJJ) so that what is conveyed can be accepted by students. Wahyono et al, teacher competence is a key determinant of the success of the learning process in Indonesia. 4 According to Law No. 1 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers, Article 10 paragraph (1) is comprehensive and indepth. It can be interpreted that professionalism is work that is done by someone and becomes a source of income that requires knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are manifested in the form of intelligent and responsible action that a person has for a teacher position that meets certain standards or quality standards requiring professional training. 5 Based on this, several strategic steps must be taken to improve teacher professionalism, namely: Certification as a tool: One of the efforts to improve teacher professionalism is through certification which is a scientific process that contains academic and ethical responsibilities. 6 Teacher certification and training is a requirement of our national education system law (article 42) which requires all education personnel to have a minimum quality and be certified by their teaching authority. In short, certification is needed to strengthen competency standards that must be possessed by teachers and trainers in their respective fields of knowledge. 7 The Need for Paradigma Change: Another factor that needs to be considered in teacher professionalism is the need for a paradigm shift in the teaching and learning process. Students are no longer considered as learning objects but must have a role and act as objects. The teacher is no longer a guide who has to place himself above the students but has an additional role as a coordinator or counselor. From this competition, teachers must be able to carry out an effective, creative, and innovative learning process that will be considered as a process of liberation and empowerment, so that is not fixated on formal, ideal, or verbal aspects, authentic problem solving based on scientific principles must be such that educational outcomes are not only intelligence quotes (IQ), but also include Emotional Quotes (QE) and Spiritual Quotes (SQ). 8 Clear Career Path: One of the factors that can increase teacher professionalism is a clear career path. Having a clear career path will give birth to healthy, measurable, and openminded skills, thereby inspiring people to work and do better. 9 Increasing the Reality of happiness: Happiness is a major issue in the competition for the role and function of teachers as educators and education staff. The professional model will be achieved if the individual concerned can never decide to pay attention to something that is his main responsibility and task. To achieve professionalism, occupational health insurance (teacher) is indispensable and cannot be separated.
Teacher professionalism is the extent to which a person's performance in carrying out teaching work is supported by skills and a code of ethics. As educational leaders, they must be professional. The existence of the teacher is as a professional education in schools, in this case, the teacher as swat Hashanah occupies an administrative position, and is an agent of the community. 10 Teaching is essentially part of a profession that has the knowledge, theoretical skills, while still expecting its professional ideology. Therefore, for someone who works in an educational institution whose teaching tasks are measured by the theory and practice of the underlying science, the teacher must also be professional in carrying out his duties. Because the school is already well-known, it is impossible to eliminate teacher support so that the learning process runs smoothly and achieves learning outcomes. 11 The teacher is an unsung horse who always fights for the nation's generation of children to be more advanced, without a teacher, maybe everyone can be what they aspire to be. Not only that, but indirectly the teacher must also teach things outside the subject matter. Such as good habits, attitudes, tr, aits, and others. Learning from home through distance education (PJJ) is a big challenge, not only for students but for teachers as well this is a challenge in education. 12 Distance learning (PJJ) presents many obstacles and challenges. According to the report, among those who adopt e-learning, the average benefits are actually much lower than expected. There are many real challenges for homeschooling (PJJ) during the pandemic19 (covid-19), namely: First, the technology gap between schools in big cities and regions, second, the limited capacity of teachers to prepare appropriate methods in the learning process, third, limited resources to use the technology. Educational technology such as the internet and quotes, fourth, the relationship between teachers and students and parents. According to Novita and Hutasuhut, there are several problems in distance learning(PJJ), namely; frits, it requires to prepare tools and materials in advance, including the program, second, providing very heavy technology tools and utilities for students who come from limited-income families, third nationally available curriculum prepared for an intelligent learning system that there are obstacles encountered in e-learning, namely; 1), e-learning aids, some of which are unlikely, 2) have low reading, writing, counting and reading skills, 3) have difficulty accessing the internet,4) have low self-study skills. On the other hand, all these obstacles and obstacles are challenges that must be faced by teachers so that the learning process can run smoothly and achieve learning outcomes.
