Definition of Pedagogic Competition
Pedagogic competence is the ability that must be possessed by teachers regarding student characteristics seen from various aspects such as moral, emotional, and intellectual. This implies that a teacher must be able to master learning theories and learning principles, because students have different characters, traits, and interests. With regard to the implementation of the curriculum, a teacher must be able to develop a curriculum at the level of each educational unit and adapt it to local needs. Teachers must be able to optimize the potential of students to actualize their abilities in the classroom, and must be able to conduct assessments of learning activities that have been carried out.
Pedagogic comes from Greek namely paedos which means boy, and agogos which means to deliver, guide. So pedagogic literally helped an ancient Greek boy whose work took his master's son to school (Uyoh Sadullah). According to Prof. Dr. J. Hoogeveld (Netherlands), pedagogy is the study of the problem of guiding children towards certain goals, namely so that one day they are able to independently complete their life's tasks.
Langeveld (1980) distinguishes the term pedagogic from the term pedagogical. Pedagogic is defined as the science of education which emphasizes more on thinking and contemplation on education. While the term pedagogy means education that emphasizes more on practice, which involves educational activities, guiding children. Pedagogic is a theory that carefully, critically and objectively develops its concepts regarding human nature, the nature of children, the nature of educational objectives and the nature of the educational process.
