Abstract

Holistic teaching is expected to develop teachers' ability and potential that are balanced in intellectual, emotional and spiritual aspects in their teaching and learning skill. However, the competency of teaching in Indonesia, particularly in secondary schools, is facing various problems and challenges. Therefore, it is important to identify aspects of holistic teaching needed by teachers that could help them address these issues. The purpose of this study is to identify aspects of holistic teaching at State Secondary School (SMAN) in Makassar City, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The research design employed is the exploratory sequential mixed method which combined qualitative and quantitative techniques. A total of 12 respondents from among educational supervisors, school principals, and expert teachers were interviewed to identify aspects of holistic teaching. The interview data were analysed thematically, and the results identified four aspects of holistic teaching needed by teachers which are teaching knowledge, teaching skill, teacher’s emotional, and teacher’s spiritual. A set of questionnaire was developed based on the four aspects which consists of 63 items. A total of 370 respondents from among five subject teacher groups, namely Religion and Moral (AAM), Citizenship (Kn), Knowledge and Technology (IPT), Esthetics (EST), and Physical, Sport and Health (JOK) selected using cluster random sampling technique answered the questionnaire. The questionnaire data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) software. Results showed that the four aspects of holistic teaching are needed by teachers. Moreover, this study also showed that there are no significant differences between teachers in teaching knowledge, teacher’s emotional and teacher’s spiritual aspects. Meanwhile in the aspect of teaching skill, there is a significant difference in subject teacher groups between IPT and AAM, and also between IPT and Kn. Regression analysis results showed that all the aspects being studied are significantly contributed to holistic teaching. A framework for teacher’s holistic teaching in SMAN Makassar City has been developed.
