Empowering Teachers in Indonesia

This article discusses the book Finnish Education System – Learning How to Teach [Sistem Pendidikan Finland – Belajar Cara Mengajar], published in Indonesia. The book is based on one of the authors’ experiences in studying Professional Teacher Education in Digital Era programme at Jamk University of Applied Sciences, Finland. The book describes the pedagogy of what and how was learned and the programme, with the author’s reflection. Personal views of challenges and inspirations from the topics, teachers, and students are also included. The book is appreciated by readers, mostly teachers in Indonesia, despite the programme is being studied in Finland (or, perhaps due to its coming from Finland).
