Integriti Guru Membentuk Jati Diri

Integriti merupakan rumusan kepada pemulihan martabat guru di mata masyarakat. Jika selama ini warga guru sudah semakin hilang sengatnya dimata masyarakat, ia berkait rapat dengan integriti.

Sebagai golongan yang diamanahkan oleh ibubapa dan diberi kepercayaan untuk mendidik dan membentuk survival anak-anak mereka di masa hadapan, guru-guru harus membalas kepercayaan tersebut dengan keyakinan yang tidak berbelah bagi. Guru-guru dikenali oleh ibubapa sebagai insan yang mahir dalam selok belok pendidikan.

Kebanyakan ibubapa masa kini tidak lagi melihat tugas guru untuk membentuk sahsiah anak mereka kerana terlalu banyak isu yang berbangkit dari masa ke semasa. Ibubapa masa kini lebih mempersoalkan pencapaian akademik anak mereka berbanding perkara lain kerana inilah perkara yang ditekankan oleh sekolah. Peperiksaan yang menjadi penentu aras kebolehan pencapaian anak-anak mereka. Ibubapa mana yang tidak mahu guru membentuk juga sahsiah anak mereka tetapi memandangkan trend masyarakat yang mementingkan pencapaian dalam peperiksaan maka ibubapa juga seolah terlupa tentang peluang pembinaan sahsiah yang sewajarnya dididik oleh guru melalui tingkahlaku mereka sendiri yang menjadi teladan. 

Isu-isu teknikal sering menjadi bahan rungutan ibubapa terhadap guru hari ini seperti tidak memeriksa buku latihan, tidak memberi kerja rumah yang mencukupi, kertas soalan yang tidak bermutu, menyemak buku latihan secara sambil lewa, gagal menghabiskan sukatan pelajaran apabila peperiksaan semakin hampir dan pelbagai lagi isu teknikal yang berkaitan.

Isu pembentukan sahsiah pula hanya berkisar kepada permasalahan disiplin yang timbul seperti gejala sosial yang semakin merebak seperti merokok, gangsterisme, melepak, dadah dan sebagainya. Apabila diajukan persoalan ini maka ianya menjadi perbincangan sosial dan guru-guru meminta mereka tidak dijadikan penyebab lantas mengaitkan juga kegagalan ibubapa memikul peranan mendidik sahsiah anak-anak mereka.

Alasan guru-guru mudah, masa yang terhad di antara guru dan pelajar di samping tugasan mengajar pelajar yang ramai menyebabkan pembentukan sahsiah pelajar tidak dapat ditumpukan sepenuhnya. Guru sering berharap agar ibubapa tidak melepaskan tanggungjawab tersebut kebahu mereka semata-mata tetapi perlu bersama-sama memikul tugas mengikut masa dan tempat pelajar tersebut berada.

Ibubapa pula sering menunding jari mereka kepada keupayaan guru kerana tugasan mereka yang sibuk dari pagi hingga ke malam tidak mengizinkan mereka mendidik sahsiah anak-anak tambahan pula mereka tidak mempunyai kemahiran formal sebagaimana guru yang dilatih untuk membentuk sahsiah pelajar.

Maka, tunding menunding berterusan dari tahun ke tahun tanpa penyelesaian tetapi kesan yang ketara gejala sosial semakin bertambah parah di kalangan remaja sekolah dicelah-celah perselisihan guru guru dan ibubapa. Semakin lama kita membicarakannya semakin parah keadaannya.

Pepatah “Guru kencing berdiri anak murid kencing berlari” perlulah difahami maksudnya dan dijadikan peringatan sepanjang masa. Maksud sebenar pepatah tersebut iaitu sebagai seorang guru perlulah menonjolkan sifat terpuji dalam diri tidak kira di mana sahaja kita berada samada dihadapan pelajar ataupun dibelakang mereka.

Inilah maksud sebenar pepatah tersebut yang perlu menjadi pegangan guru-guru. Jika sebelum ini guru-guru merasakan bahawa pepatah tersebut berkait dengan teladan mereka akan dicontohi oleh pelajar maka hari ini kita perlu merenung lebih jauh lagi berhubung tindakan kita yang konsisten di mana-mana sahaja.

Honesty and Integrity in Daily Life

Times are difficult. You know the right thing to do is tell the truth despite the potential loss of friends, employment or reputation. Would you do it? We all tend to lie sometimes. Some are innocent: the white lies. But some are grievous when it involves the type of information that can deceive, mislead, trick and sometimes betray the trust that is placed in you. Lies in the CVs or interview conversations, faking in psychometric tests, the leave forms, the excuses you give when you can’t meet a deadline or achieve the targets: so the list goes. Why? To defend yourself, to manage impressions, to manipulate or to please others? Recently, I had a client who had just given his resignation to a blue-chip company because he was compelled to withhold some information, which, if revealed, would send three more people including his boss home. “I just can’t keep this information to myself and turn a blind eye,” he said. In terms of the potential risk and peace of mind, he probably made a wise decision. There are three ways of dealing with an unpleasant system; you challenge and/or fight it to change it, you ignore what is going on and become the system, or you get out. More often than not, most may agree that we gravitate to the second or third option due to pressure for survival and helplessness. Almost all adults will tell you that lying is wrong. But when it comes to avoiding trouble, saving face in front of the boss, or sparing someone's feelings, many of us find ourselves doing it anyway. Behind honesty is courage which comes in two forms; psychological courage in which one faces his/her inner struggles and moral courage, in which one maintains high ethical standards and authenticity. The latter is similar to integrity. Integrity is related to employee trustworthiness. People strong in integrity ground their behaviour in personal values, abide by their convictions and treat others with respect. They show consistency in their lives across situations and encounters, and are very likely to live their lives eschewing pretense and hypocrisy. They are often committed to other individuals, institutions, principles and ideals. Integrity is also about one’s willingness to accept responsibility for one’s decisions. Holding steadfast to one’s values and living a life of authenticity are significant challenges in the current corporate world. Imagine: if my client was over-burdened with financial issues and had no social support, it would have been more difficult for him to make that choice of letting go of his job. ‘Integrity everyday’ comes in simple forms; say at work, challenging someone’s egoistic state of mind that is destroying the team morale, defending your peer who is right, giving the due credit to your direct reports, taking permission before you implement someone else’s ideas and getting all the credit for it, and confronting anyone who tells a racist or sexist joke to let people know that you are not so complacent when minority groups are ridiculed. It is not only about being honest; it is also about being able to accept the truth no matter how difficult or how long it takes to come to terms with it. You want answers; you think you are entitled; you want the truth. But maybe you should ask whether you can handle the truth? Integrity exists at the personal, professional and institutional level. Parents can actively encourage honesty in their children, and mentors, teachers, role models and peers can serve this same function. Strong role models from the community or political arena can influence people’s behaviour and moral judgments. Humans are creatures of habit; hence one can break the habit and replace it with something positive. In the organization, it is beneficial to have leaders who embody integrity as it is easier if it cascades from the top. But the absence of it should not be an excuse for us not to practice such defining values of character. Organizations can create systems that require people to demonstrate integrity, and promote and inculcate desired behaviours that are continuously monitored and rewarded. Screening new employees in an effective recruitment process can address the problem at the outset. A passive approach to the corporate competencies and merely paying lip service to organizational values may not take one anywhere. Some may think that integrity cannot be learnt and that it is something you either have or don’t have. But change is the only guarantee and something being completely hard-wired is contrary to this point of view. We all evolve everyday, we change. So, with conscious effort and commitment, why can’t simple forms of integrity and honesty be achieved in day to day life?
