| Summary: | <p>The quality of English teachers in schools is one of the contributing factors in students</p><p>proficiency in the language. Hence, the purpose of this study was to develop teacher</p><p>redeployment good practices that could help minimize mismatch of English Language</p><p>teachers in schools. The needs analysis of this study explored domains of the policy</p><p>implementation and using the domains this study develops strategies to achieve the</p><p>domains and formed the teacher redeployment good practices profile. This study used</p><p>triangulation method in collecting information from interviews, observation and</p><p>document analysis. Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) was adopted to develop good</p><p>practices of teacher redeployment policy implementation profile. There were two</p><p>domains developed to form the profile which were the mechanism and strategies and</p><p>the contributing factors. There were three themes constructed under each domain and</p><p>42 sub items supported the themes to develop the redeployment policy implementation</p><p>profile. 15 panel of experts responded to a Five-Likert linguistic scale survey</p><p>questionnaire. The threshold value (d) must exceed 75% to verify the experts</p><p>consensus, while the alpha-cut value > 0.5 was used to select the items. This study</p><p>showed a high consensus agreement among the experts for the 42 items with (d) values</p><p>at 85.7% in terms of the Teacher Selection Based on Professional Background (Amax</p><p>= 0.79), Interventions (Amax = 0.78), Teacher Readiness (Amax = 0.77),</p><p>Implementation of The Guidelines (Amax = 0.77), Teacher Selection Based on</p><p>Personal Background (Amax = 0.77), the Enforcement of Policy Implementation</p><p>(Amax = 0.74) and all values exceeded the minimum of 0.60. Therefore, based on the</p><p>findings, the implication of the study recommends the policy makers to review the</p><p>current redeployment guidelines so that it can support the efforts to minimize mismatch</p><p>of English teachers in terms of the location and option thus will improve the</p><p>management of the policy implementation.</p> |
