Abstract

Perkembangan media sosial telah mengubah ruang komunikasi publik menjadi arena produksi wacana yang memengaruhi pembentukan persepsi sosial, termasuk terhadap profesi guru. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana representasi guru dikonstruksi dalam komentar netizen pada isu pendidikan di media sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode Analisis Wacana Kritis model Ruth Wodak melalui Discourse-Historical Approach. Data penelitian berupa 30 komentar netizen yang diperoleh dari unggahan TikTok yang membahas isu kesejahteraan guru, status guru honorer, serta kebijakan pengangkatan ASN dan PPPK. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis dengan mengidentifikasi strategi diskursif yang meliputi nomination, predication, argumentation, perspectivization, serta intensification and mitigation. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa representasi guru dalam wacana digital didominasi oleh isu ketidakpastian status kepegawaian dan kesejahteraan yang belum memadai. Di sisi lain, guru juga direpresentasikan sebagai profesi yang memiliki dedikasi tinggi dan peran penting dalam sistem pendidikan nasional. Komentar netizen membangun konstruksi sosial guru melalui penamaan yang beragam, penilaian terhadap kondisi sosial-ekonomi, serta argumentasi yang menekankan pentingnya penghargaan berdasarkan masa pengabdian. Selain itu, beragam sudut pandang dan penguatan makna menunjukkan adanya dinamika persepsi publik terhadap profesi guru. Simpulan penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa representasi guru dalam media sosial merupakan konstruksi wacana yang kompleks, yang tidak hanya mencerminkan kritik terhadap kebijakan pendidikan, tetapi juga apresiasi terhadap peran strategis guru dalam pembangunan pendidikan nasional.
