| Summary: | The low quality of teachers in Indonesia indicates that its current professional development programs are yet to reach an ideal form. Therefore, this research aims to determine how the <i>kampus mengajar</i> (teaching campus) program can be used to improve the professionalism of pre-service teachers to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Open interview questions were used to collect data from eleven pre-service teachers, two supervisors, and two principals involved in the <i>kampus mengajar</i> program with 3 months of professional experience placements in elementary schools spread across Indonesia. The data collected were analyzed using the thematic data analysis technique. The results showed that although the <i>kampus mengajar</i> program experiences various challenges, it can be used by pre-service teachers to enhance their professionalism by sharing and receiving experiences. The <i>kampus mengajar</i> program offers real and authentic experiences for pre-service teachers in guiding students, performing various administrative tasks, and learning in the workplace; thus, they have a better understanding of school life realities. |
