Abstract

In 2007, the Indonesian government released teachers? certification to assess the in service teachers. However, the latest study conducted by Directorate General of Quality Assurance for Teachers and Educators facilitated by World Bank (2010 in Payong, 2011:89), concerning preliminary research on SD and SMP certified teachers showed that most of the secondary schools teachers were not able to fulfill the obligations to teach. Thus, the researcher was interested in conducting a study which was aimed at investigating the performance of the certified teachers in the classrooms. The study employed a case study, involving six certified EFL teachers in six secondary schools in Bandung. The data were obtained through classroom observations, questionnaires and interviews. The data gained from observation were analyzed using criteria according to Flander?s FIAC system to measure the EFL teachers? performance in the classroom, particularly in asking questions, giving information, correcting students? sentences, giving direction, and accepting students? feelings, praising/encouraging students, joking as well as accepting/using students? ideas. Later, the results were analyzed based on DarlingHammond and Bransford?s (2005:11) conceptualization of teaching knowledge, also four teaching knowledge proposed by Borkoand Putman (1996, in Kauchack et al, 2002:14), and the four teaching competences stated in Permendiknas Number 16 dated on 4 May 2007 mentioned in Payong (2011:24- 41) to picture students? opinion about teachers? performances in classrooms. To some extent, the findings showed that in terms of performance in the classroom, the teachers have mastered the teaching knowledge which include content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, general content knowledge, and knowledge of learners and learning as mentioned by Borko and Putman (1996, in Kauchack et al, 2002:14), Darling-Hammond and Bransford (2005:11), Flander?s FIAC System, and Permendiknas(cited in Payong, 2011:24-41).
