This is due of teacher's ability to conducting the classroom action research is very low and also in writing the other scientific papers. This condition had been affected the teacher’s welfare and professionalism. Actually, how to make the proposal of classroom action research had been taught on Teacher Professional Training and Education (is called PLPG), but after that they have no follow up proposals to collect and analyst of data to do action research. That means, the classroom action research is not implemented in their schools. We can conclude that a teacher who wants to improve his professionalism, getting promotion and welfare have to conduct classroom action research and be able to report his research results in the form of scientific papers that is published in the journal.
