E-LEARNING-BASED TRAINING MODEL FOR ACCOUNTING TEACHERS INudEAST JAVA

摘要

The improvement of teachers competencies have been implemented throughudconventional training or “class” training. The model demands on high cost and limitedudparticipants. The survey result in East Java reveals that the majority of teachers seldomudinvolve in training activities, meanwhile Information and Communication Technology (ICT)udhas been accessible and affordable in cell‟s coverage area. The availability of ICT facilitiesudprovides opportunities to implement e-learning-based training for teachers. This researchudaims to use a development research and a test model of effectiveness by using an actionudresearch. The result of development signifies that e-learning model should concern in theudcapabilities of participants in ICT (Direct and Indirect Model). In common, both modelsudcontains component of online class orientation, training session and learning evaluation. Theudresult of study shows this model is able to improve the teachers‟ capabilities in FinancialudAccounting. Teachers with high capabilities in ICT are more easily adapted with e-learning,udhence all processes might be implemented in online basis. Conversely, teachers with lowudabilities in ICT are vulnerable for failures in online training. Accordingly, an indirectudtraining might be executed through a phase of ICT orientation and orientation of online classudbefore conducting further phases in online training. The improvement of effectiveness inudindependent learning process requires a comprehensive content in e-learning and should beudperformed in sequential basis. Additionally, it is prominent to implement training at the sameudtime with school schedule. Despite of the availability of ICT facilities at school, an academicudsharing might be easily comprehended.udKeywords: E-Learning, Teacher Training, Accounting
