Table 7: Lecture hours at KUM Source: document of quality control unit of KUM
The above table shows the lecture hours for each day consists of 16 hours of lectures, each lasting for 50 minutes. The two-credit course takes 100 minutes in one meeting. A
four-credit course that takes 200 minutes is usually conducted twice a week. A teacher at KUM is usually required to teach around 20-24 credits per week. The above table
indicates that like other universities in Indonesia, study demand at KUM is significant. The students need to study around 20 hours per week. As a result, the schedule of
teaching and learning is overcrowded and more classrooms and teachers are constantly needed.
92 The teaching and learning activities at KUM are illustrated in Chart 6 below:
Chart 8: Procedure for conducting teaching and learning activity Source: document of quality control unit of KUM
As shown in the above chart, the teaching and learning process at KUM is delivered through a series of steps. The teaching journal mentioned in the above chart refers to
teaching record consisting of date, activity, and teaching materials used in each class session. A series of steps above indicate that teachers at KUM are already familiar with
following routine for conducting teaching and learning activity. As such, they did not mind participating in a series of teacher self-evaluation activities in my research that
required them to do various steps , including recording their lessons, completing teacher self-reflection questions, asking student feedback, and joining in collegial dialogues,
