Abstract

This study aims to determine the perception of elementary school teachers about their work and how it impacts their professionalism and work as teacher. The analysis was carried out qualitatively. Data were collected through an open questionnaire and followed by interviews with several teachers who were considered as their representatives in a
Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The results of the reading of the questionnaire and interview data were combined to understand the meaning and find categories until essential themes were found as research findings. This study found that elementary school teachers, both public and private, perceived their professions as teachers asgood. They saw teaching as noble work. Many teachers were experiencing a dilemma in undergoing the profession as a teacher. This research implied that authorities in government and institutions have to provide a solution to the dilemmas faced by teachers in
primary schools so that they have high enthusiasm for carrying out their profession as teachers in primary schools.
