Every teacher shouldhave specific competencies. Sustainable quality improvement of teachers needed to get support andattention from various stakeholders including leaders at schools and government. Therefore, a mediumwas required to facilitate the process of various knowledge of teacher competency which had beendocumented and unlimited to time and location. One of the solutions was developing a knowledgemanagement system. The research method was adopted from Knowledge Management System Life Cycle(KMSLC) method. Results of this research was a web-based knowledge management system withfeatures supporting the process of capturing, developing, distributing, and utilizing knowledge.Development of the knowledge management system could facilitate teachers to gain knowledge related toteachers’ competencies easily.Keywords:knowledge management system, knowledge management system life cycle, teachercompetencyINTRODUCTIONThe success of educational processshall be actualized if there are supportingcomponents to achieve educational purpose.Teacher is one of the educationalcomponents with a strategic role to achieveeducational purposes. A teacher as alearning agent has a function to improve thequality of national education and in chargeof planning, implementing, and assessinglearning outcomes as well as guidingstudents to actively achieve their educationalachievement. Consequently, a teachershould have certain competency to supportthe implementation of their duties properly.Based on the regulation of Ministry ofNationalEducationofIndonesia,compulsory competencies for teachersinclude pedagogic, personality, social, andprofessional competencies. Moreover, theIndonesian government continues toimprove the quality of teachers’ competencythrough several activities. One of theReceived February 13, 2019; Revised March 28, 2019; Accepted April 10, 2019activities related to the development ofteacher competency is the implementation ofteacher competency test, hereinafter referredto as UKG (Uji Kompetensi Guru). UKG isan examination to measure basiccompetencies regarding subject matter andpedagogics in the teachers’ content domain.The basic competencies of the field of studyare tested according to the field ofcertification studies (for teachers who arecertified educators) and in accordance withthe academic qualifications (for teacherswho are not yet certified educators) [1].Data of UKG results in 2015 showsthat competency of teachers remains lowespecially on pedagogic competency withaverage national score of 48.94 which isbelow the minimum competency standards,hereinafter referred to as SKM, which is 55[2]. This result indicates that teachers’performance need to be further developedbecause they have underperformed variousmasteryofrequisitecompetency.Furthermore, a sustainable improvement of

Saraswati et al., Development of Knowledge Management System of Teachers’ Competency 125teachers’ competency needs support andattention from various parties including theschools.Additionally, according to theacquisition of teachers’ competency testresults of SMK Pembangunan Bogor in2018, there are only 2 out of 5 teachers whosucceeded to meet SKM in the competencytest [2]. This shows that teachers’competency of SMK Pembangunan Bogorstill needs to be developed. Various trainingshave been implemented to develop theteachers’ competency. However, the resultof the UKG indicates that the trainings werenot effective. It might be happen becauseeducators have limited time to participate inthe trainings due to their minimumcompulsory requirement of classroomactivities. Knowledge gap occurs betweensenior teachers and new teachers becausethere is no process of knowledgetransferring. Knowledge and experience ofthe teachers have not been documented. Thiscauses the difference of competency whileteaching. Therefore, a medium is required tofacilitate the process of knowledge sharingwithout limitation of time and location. Oneof the solutions is developing knowledgemanagement system as a medium ofknowledge sharing and source of teachers’competency learning.Knowledge management system iswidely used in other fields namely finance,business and industries [3]–[5]. Ineducational sectors, previous studies relatedto a knowledge management system alsohave been done. Yang [6] implemented ablog-based knowledge management systemto support learning process, which revealedthat it may help creating and fosteringknowledge. Mardhia & Langi [7] built aknowledgemanagementsystemonlesson study activities to manage teacher’sknowledge related to lesson study activities.Moreover, Maman et al. [8] developed awebsite of learning system using knowledgemanagement system as media for sharingknowledge to improve competencies of earlychildhood teachers. Sari [9] also designed aknowledge management system to supportthe accreditation process of an educationalinstitution .Based on the existing problems, theresearcher will develop a knowledgemanagement system, hereinafter referred toas KMS of teachers’ competency at SMKPembangunanBogor. Developing aknowledge management system becomesnecessary for SMK Pembangunan Bogor asa medium to share knowledge amongteachers, facilitate in documenting andgaining knowledge related to teachers’competency as well as media of learning.Learning feature is also equipped withmultiple choice exercises on each learningactivity.METHODThis study adopted KnowledgeManagement System Life Cycle (KMSLC)method from Awad & Ghaziri [10]. Itconsisted 6 stages starting from evaluatingthe existing infrastructure to verify andvalidate the model. It is presented in Figure1.Evaluating the existing infrastructurestage is the analysis of knowledge andhuman resources as well as analysis oftechnology and information infrastructure,network infrastructure, and application thatis currently running at the school. Formingthe knowledge management team stagerefers to selecting and assigning teammembers to involve in the modeldevelopment.

Research StagesFurthermore, knowledge capturingstage is an activity to classify the explicitand tacit knowledge according to theteacher’s competencies aspects. Explicitknowledge refers to a knowledge that hasbeen saved as a document, book, or report[10]. Tacit knowledge is the knowledgethat is still in the mind of knowledgeresource itself (experts) that is obtainedthrough interview [10].Designing knowledge managementblueprint stage starts from knowledgecodification using a knowledge map anddesigning a knowledge management systemusing an object-oriented approach model ofthe Unified Modeling Language (UML).The design has four main elementsincluding data, architecture, interface, andcomponent ystemisconversion of the blueprint into PHPprogram code language programming withAll teachers of SMK PembangunanBogor has been equipped with computerfacilities with LAN (Local area Network)internet connection and Wi-Fi connectionwhich allow all computers at the school tobe interconnected. Internet network on theschool environment is provided by two ISPs(Internet Service Provider) with sufficientspeed (20 and 30 Mbps).SMK Pembangunan Bogor currentlydoes not have a software system to save andmanage knowledge related to teachers’competency. According to observationresults at SMK Pembangunan Bogor, theexisting knowledge related to teachers’competency is in the form of electronic,non-electronic document, or knowledge thathas not been documented from the experts’experience.

Use Case of SIMAPKGThe verification stage is carried out byinterviewing experts regarding completenessand validity of knowledge. Verificationresults stated that knowledge inserted to thesystem is valid and related to aspects ofteachers’ competency. Validation stage isdone by examining application of aknowledge management system using ablack-box tes conducted by experts andadministrators.System development is done on thelocalhost network using the help fromXampp software with PHP languageprogramming and Codeigniter framework aswell as a MySQL database.
