With the demands of professionals, the study reports that there is a great deal of anxiety that arises in real teaching. As an effort to reduce the teaching anxiety, this study explores the level of teaching anxiety faced by student teachers in implementing real teaching as well as factors that can trigger the emergence of anxiety. This research was conducted quantitatively by applying the survey as the research strategy. The Student Teacher Anxiety Scale (STAS) found by Hart (1987) became a research instrument with language modification performed. 238 student teachers of Multidiciplinary Education Study Program (ESP) at one of the Private University in Indonesia who will carry out real teaching are involved as research respondents. The respondents consist of 6 different ESP. Based on the results of the study, it can be seen that the level of teaching anxiety faced by student teachers of multidiciplinary ESP in carrying out real teaching activities is at a high level with an average of 3.69. The level of anxiety experienced by student teachers of each ESP are as follows: Primary School Teacher (3.89), Mathematics (3.74), English Language (3.48), Indonesian Language (3.47) are at a high level. While the level of teaching anxiety of student teachers of Biology ESP (3.35) and Economic ESP (3.26) are at the normal level. Meanwhile, the most influencing factor causing the teaching anxiety were teaching preparation (3.86), teaching evaluation (3.73), class control (3.71), school staff (3.58), and failure in teaching (3, 58). With the anxiety that arises, good communication is the initial solution that can be done so that real teaching activities get better. Finally, real teaching will be more useful when the anxiety that arises is considered as a stimulation so that students can carry out better real teaching activities.

Abstract

Literasi merupakan salah satu kegiatan yang akhir-akhir ini menjadi pioritas dan menjadi agenda besar dari pemerintah yang wajib dikembangkan dan di implementasikan dalam setiap kegiatan siswa disekolah ataupun masyarakat. literasi memiliki makna awal yaitu ‘kemampuan membaca dan menulis’ yang kemudian berkembang menjadi ‘kemampuan menguasai pengetahuan bidang tertentu’. Literasi di Indonesia masih tergolong rendah hingga saat ini. Kegiatan literasi dipengaruhi beberapa faktor yaitu kecakapan, akses, alternatif dan budaya. Kemampuan literasi akan sangat memengaruhi penalaran dan kompetensi lainnya. Sehingga peserta didik perlu memiliki kecintaan pada aktivitas pengembangan literasi sejak dini. Peran guru dan orang tua sangat diperlukan untuk kembali memotivasi dan membangkitkan semangat berliterasi khususnya untuk anak-anak dijenjang sekolah dasar sebagai pondasi untuk lebih melek literasi, tidak hanya sekedar membaca dan menulis tapi bagaimana peserta didik dapat memahami ilmu pengetahuan yang didapatkan dari buku bacaan dan juga keadaan pengalamannya di dunia nyata. Dengan adanya kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat yang bertembat di Desa Kramatmulya, Kabupatenb Kuningan peranan orang tua selaku masyarakat menjadi lebih optimal dalam membantu pengembangan budaya literasi di lingkungan masyarakat (rumah). Gerakan Literasi Masyarakat ini merupakan  kegiatan yang bersifat partisipatif dengan melibatkan warga masyarakat (peserta didik, orang tua dan perangkat Desa), akademisi yang dapat merepresentasikan keteladanan, dll.), Salah satunya telah mewujudkan Rumah Literasi masyarakat sebagai organisasi pembelajaran yang warganya literat sepanjang hayat adalah pembiasaan membaca peserta didik.
