Meskipun selama pandemi terdapat program peningkatan kompetensi guru dengan moda daring yang dapat diikuti guru secara mandiri, namun hasilnya tidak bisa dirasakan secara nyata karena minimnya komitmen dan konsistensi guru selama pelatihan.

This study used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection instruments are in the form of document studies, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), interviews, and surveys. This method was used to collect data related to the transformation practice of kindergarten teachers’ competencies in Kulonprogo. Transformation of teacher competencies is a prerequisite in the recovery framework of post-pandemic education. However, there has not been any transformation of teachers’ competences during the pandemic or post-pandemic that was actually arranged by the local government of Kulon Progo Regency for kindergarten teachers. As for programs to improve teacher competence, they were even more recognized before the pandemic. Even though during the pandemic there was a teacher competency improvement program using an online mode in which teachers could participate independently, the results were hardly noticeable due to the lack of commitment and consistency of teachers during training. The increase in teachers’ competences actually came from the central government with the guru penggerak and sekolah penggerak programs. This is the homework for the Education Authorities of Kulon Progo District to improve the competences of kindergarten teachers to maintain and enhance the quality of student learning and prepare them for the global challenges.
