Latihan Soal UKG Kompetensi Pedagogik dan Profesional Guru Bahasa Inggris SMA - SMK Tahun 2019 - 2020
Berdasarkan survei kemampuan pelajar yang dirilis oleh Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), pada awal Desember tahun ini -2019- di Paris, Indonesia menempati peringkat ke-72 dari 77 negara. Indonesia masih berada di peringkat enam terbawah, jauh di bawah negara-negara tetangga kita seperti Malaysia dan Brunei Darussalam. Dalam survei ini, kualitas diukur berdasarkan kemampuan membaca, matematika dan sains. Dari beberapa faktor kelemahan yang ada, salah satu penyebabnya adalah kompetensi guru yang masih rendah dibuktikan dengan hasil UKG yang relatif dibawah rata- rata.

| UKG |
Uji Kompetensi Guru (UKG) ditujukan untuk mengukur kompetensi dasar terhadap bidang studi (profesional) serta kemampuan pedagogik guru. Selain itu UKG dilakukan dalam rangka pemetaan kompetensi, pengembangan keprofesian berkelanjutan (PKB) dan sebagai entry point penilaian kinerja guru (PKG) melalui pengembangan keberlanjutan dalam bentuk pelatihan-pelatihan.
Sehubungan dengan UKG diatas, berikut ini sudah saya siapkan melalui kumpulan soal- soal latihan UKG khusus untuk guru bahasa Inggris SMA/ SMK. Memang sudah agak lama terakhir saya mengikuti tes UKG tahun 2017 lalu, selain Tes Potensi Akademik (TPA), sejauh ingatan tentang soal- soal yang keluar berkutat soal masalah pedagogik dan kompetensi profesional guru.

Cigarette smokers are said to have a good chance of getting various fatal diseases. But, I think that other people’s tobacco smoke seems to increase the chances of non smokers getting a wide range of cancers.
First, although passive smokers inhale less tobacco smoke, the researchers point out that the smoke they breathe in is richer in many toxic chemicals. There is, for example, three times as much as benzo-apyrene, six times as much as toluene and more than 50 times as much as dimethyllnitrosamine. Of course these substances will harm our body in the long run.

These substances are the main causes of various cancers. In short, the effects of exposure to the cigarette smoking of others are greater than has been previously suspected. That is why passive smokers have more chances of contracting cancer than people with no such exposure.

Nowadays, many people have realized that agriculture is much more important than other supporting tools in economic development. In Indonesia, agriculture should be the priority of development because of some good reasons.
First of all, the agriculture’s contribution in the beginning of the development of the country was the highest of all sectors. At present, almost half of the total Indonesian labors are working in the agriculture sectors, but the contribution of the agriculture sector does not reach 30 percents.
Second, the agriculture sector is expected to fulfill the need of food in the country. As the number of population increases in an alarming rate each year, food supply must also increase but the agricultural production per capita never increases more than one percent each year, and in some extreme cases, it is ever stagnant.
Last but not least, without agricultural development, the growth of the industrial sector will be hampered because the growth that comes from industry will bring a wider gap into the internal economy in that country. In turn, this gap will create serious poverty problems, wider inequality of income distribution, and increase unemployment.
It is therefore, obvious that the government should put agriculture as the priority of national development.

Do you agree that music is important in our life? Yes I do, music has certain role completing our day to day activities. Here are some reasons why music is heard everywhere and anywhere.
Music is a way to express feelings. When we fall in love, the kind of music we’d listen to would be all about love. When we’re sad, we would go for music that is melancholic in nature and immerse ourselves in the sadness. When we’re happy, we’d choose songs with happy tunes too.
Song can help to memorize the last experiences. A favorite song is a powerful documentary. People with Alzheimer which are impaired the brain would remember details about songs they were familiar with.
