The Role of Teacher Learning Communities in Improving Learning Innovation at SMP Labschool Unesa 3

Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan peran komunitas belajar guru dalam meningkatkan inovasi pembelajaran di SMP Labschool Unesa 3. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan subjek kepala sekolah dan guru aktif, melalui wawancara, observasi, dan studi dokumentasi. Analisis data menggunakan model interaktif Miles, Huberman, dan Saldana, serta uji keabsahan melalui triangulasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komunitas belajar tampak nyata melalui kegiatan rutin seperti seminar literasi, forum sharing, dan partisipasi dalam komunitas eksternal. Inovasi yang muncul meliputi penggunaan media kreatif, pemanfaatan teknologi digital, dan pembelajaran berbasis proyek. Komunitas belajar berkontribusi pada peningkatan profesionalisme guru melalui refleksi bersama, kolaborasi, dan dukungan antar rekan sejawat. Faktor pendukung meliputi kompetensi guru, dukungan kepala sekolah, serta sarana prasarana memadai, sedangkan kendala utama adalah keterbatasan waktu dan adaptasi terhadap perubahan. Upaya mengatasinya dilakukan dengan penjadwalan fleksibel, pembagian tugas, dan pelatihan berkelanjutan. Dengan demikian, komunitas belajar berperan penting sebagai wadah pengembangan profesional guru sekaligus peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran.

This study aims to describe the role of teacher learning communities in enhancing instructional innovation at SMP Labschool Unesa 3. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with the principal and active teachers as subjects, using interviews, observations, and document studies for data collection. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, with validity tested through triangulation. The findings reveal that the learning community is evident through routine activities such as literacy seminars, sharing forums, and participation in external communities. Innovations that emerged include the use of creative media, the application of digital technology, and project-based learning. The learning community contributes to teachers’ professional growth through collective reflection, collaboration, and peer support. Supporting factors include teacher competence, principal support, and adequate facilities, while the main challenges are limited time and adaptation to changes. Efforts to overcome these challenges involve flexible scheduling, task distribution, and continuous training. Thus, the learning community plays a vital role as a forum for teacher professional development and the improvement of instructional quality.
