Definition of profession, professionalization, professionalism, professionalism • Profession In the Big Indonesian Dictionary, profession is defined as a field of work that is based on certain expertise education (skills, vocational and so on) that is in accordance with the expertise and interests of a person. Profession comes from the root word "profess" in Greek which means fulfilling a promise to carry out responsibilities according to one's duties or work regularly or within a specified period of time (permanent). A profession can also be broadly interpreted as any activity carried out by anyone to earn money or a living or salary to cover their living expenses. In narrow terms, a profession is usually indicated by a job that has special characteristics or education that must be undertaken in doing so. Daniel Bell defines a profession as an intellectual activity that is learned in training that is held both formally and informally which is responsible for what the knowledge is in serving the community. Meanwhile, according to Paul F. Comenisch, a profession is a moral communication that is aspired to and assessed together. Siti Nafsiah herself said that a profession is a job that is done by someone to get money to meet their responsibilities and life needs. • Professionalization Professionalization usually refers to a process in achieving a certain professional standard. In this professionalization process, a person will experience an increase in skills and competence in understanding that he/she wants to achieve. Professionalization comes from the word "professionalization" which means professional ability. Dedy Supriadi defines professionalization as pre-service education that is usually undertaken first by a person before occupying a professional position or office. Eric Hoyle himself argues that professionalization includes two dimensions, namely: the improvement of status and the improvement of practice. This means, based on Eric Hoyle's opinion, it can be understood that professionalization is a process for a person to improve their status (in this case, position or office) while improving their practice which in this case can be interpreted as skills, abilities, talents and knowledge. • Professionalism Professionalism is divided into two words, namely the word "professional" and the word "ism". This can refer to a science, understanding, belief or trust in a standard that has been set for several professions or jobs. Professionalism in the Big Indonesian Dictionary means a quality, quality and behavior that is a characteristic of a job or profession or someone who has professional qualities. Professionalism usually refers to the quality of a person which can be in the form of commitment, responsibility, loyalty of a member who is in the scope of the profession to realize the goals and quality of his profession. Professionalism will show a combination of competencies mastered by a person with his character as a person as evidence to show his moral responsibility. • Professionalism In the Big Indonesian Dictionary, professionalism is a person's ability or capability to act professionally for the responsibilities carried out or that are being held. Professionalism is related to a profession or job or related to a profession. Professionalism can also be interpreted as a person's attitude, ethics, behavior, or professional morals in carrying out his profession. In short, professionalism can be interpreted as a standard of quality of a person based on the degree of knowledge, skills and abilities or expertise in carrying out his responsibilities and tasks and work. 2. In points number 1 there are terms that are usually found in professionalism material, namely profession, professionalization, professionalism, and professionalism. To show the differences between the four terms, it can be seen from the definition of the terms in answer number 1: a) Based on its definition, a profession can be interpreted as a job or position carried out by someone, which in narrow terms is only specific to jobs that require certificates or special training to obtain their capabilities in carrying out the job or position. While in broad terms, a profession can be understood as various jobs or professions carried out by someone to earn a living in meeting their needs and responsibilities. For example: teachers, principals, education supervisors, lecturers, fishermen, farmers, motorcycle taxis, etc. b) Professionalization refers more to the process or journey of activities carried out by someone before occupying a position or getting their profession. For example: Teacher Professional Training (PPG). c) Professionalism is proof of self-quality which is usually in the form of fulfilling a person's responsibilities and loyalty in carrying out their work. For example, obeying the rules in the institution, both written and unwritten rules, doing their work honestly. d) Professionalism is the ability, skill, expertise of a person in their profession. For example: someone who has the profession of a teacher must have basic skills or expertise in being a teacher, for example teaching skills or skills in educating a student. 3. Field Practice Example Working as a member of the police is certainly a source of pride for an individual, especially those who have dreamed of becoming a member of the police since childhood. Having the duty and responsibility to protect and serve the community is an obligation for a member of the police to carry out. However, in fact, in the field, there are still many police members who do not comply with their professionalism. There are many cases that we can witness through online media portals or television that show cases of crime and fraud carried out by 'individuals' of the police. Like the many police members who enter the police through back channels or insiders even though they do not meet the criteria for being a member of the police. In addition, there are many cases of crime that are actually masterminded by police members themselves. Such as the simple example of a random ticketing case carried out by POLANTAS and then asking for money from the people as a 'safe route'. Indeed, not all police members carry out such unprofessionalism, but the rampant cases of crime involving police members should be a big question mark and evaluation within the police force. The police who should be the protectors and guardians of the community have instead turned into enemies feared by the community. This proves that there are still many police officers who do not reflect their professionalism. 4. In the definition of the profession above in the answer to question number 1, it is explained narrowly that the definition of a profession is a position or job that requires someone to have special skills or requirements before serving or working. This is different from jobs in general that do not require special training or certification which are usually carried out by formal or non-formal institutions. As an example of comparison, a police officer must meet special requirements to become a member of the police, must undergo various types of training. This is different from the work of farmers who do not require special requirements in carrying out their work.
