Abstract
This study has explored the experienced EFL teacher perspective on the teacher Continuing Professional Development (CPD) model in Indonesia, particularly the Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran (MGMP) and the Merdeka Curriculum Platform (PMM) as government support for teachers in adjusting their Technology Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). A qualitative research approach with a case study design was used. Five participants who are teaching junior high school in an urban area were selected purposively based on predetermined criteria and volunteered to be interviewed. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documents, then analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA). Experienced EFL teachers see the benefits of integrating technology into English language teaching but also acknowledge the challenges. The findings highlight that MGMP as a community of teachers both online and offline has facilitated the implementation of TPACK through collaboration and contextual appropriateness. In addition, PMM has become an additional support for teacher professional development and career advancement. Furthermore, this study paves the way for future studies to explore additional support for MGMP activities and the utilization of PMM or similar platforms as EFL teachers’ CPD media on TPACK in other regions in Indonesia.
