- Abstract
The study aims is to show genetics conceptual mastery improvement of biology teacher in Simeulue archipelago as the result of the implementation guided teaching strategy. This study was a follow-up of the needs of high school biology teachers in Simeulue archipelago for deepening genetics concepts that is considered as the difficulties concept based on the findings of previous studies. The quasi experiment with pretest posttest design was used. The main instruments used in the form of questions about the genetics of the various levels of cognitive, which refers to the professional competence of teacher certification indicators and basic competencies of Curriculum 2013's for high school level. Biology teacher's mastery of genetic concept in Simeulue archipelago before the implementation of guided teaching strategy is very low which is at 30.7%. After the implementation of guided teaching strategy, teacher's mastery of genetic concept is increased to 47.9%, but it is still at low category with N-gain 0.25. Thus, the implementation of guided teaching strategy on teacher training has potency to increase mastery of genetic concept. Genetics concepts mastered by the teacher in the moderate category are the concepts of the mutation and protein synthesis, while structure of DNA, Mendel's laws and extending the law, heredity in humans, the function of DNA and cell division, were in low category. For future training, it is suggested that teachers learn in advance about the material that will be given, so when conceptual deepening were given teachers will be better prepared and motivated to develop.
