EVALUASI EFEKTIVITAS PROGRAM PENDIDIKAN DALAM MENINGKATKAN MUTU SEKOLAH

Abstrak

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai sejauh mana program pendidikan mampu meningkatkan kualitas sekolah, terutama dalam hal pengelolaan, proses belajar mengajar, dan pencapaian siswa. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah gabungan antara metode kualitatif dan kuantitatif melalui studi kasus pada sejumlah sekolah yang telah menerapkan program tertentu. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi langsung, dan telaah dokumen. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa program pendidikan yang mencakup pelatihan guru, peningkatan fasilitas, serta penguatan peran kepemimpinan sekolah memberikan dampak positif terhadap mutu sekolah. Peningkatan terlihat pada kualitas pembelajaran, keterlibatan siswa, dan prestasi akademik. Meskipun demikian, keberhasilan program sangat tergantung pada keterlibatan semua pemangku kepentingan dan konsistensi pelaksanaan. Dengan demikian, program pendidikan akan lebih efektif apabila dirancang sesuai kebutuhan lokal, melibatkan berbagai pihak, dan dievaluasi secara berkala untuk mendorong peningkatan mutu sekolah secara berkelanjutan.

This study aims to assess the extent to which educational programs can improve school quality, particularly in terms of management, teaching and learning processes, and student achievement. The approach used combines qualitative and quantitative methods through case studies conducted in several schools that have implemented specific programs. Data were collected through interviews, direct observations, and document reviews. The findings indicate that educational programs encompassing teacher training, facility enhancement, and strengthened school leadership roles have a positive impact on school quality. Improvements were observed in the quality of teaching, student engagement, and academic performance. However, the success of such programs largely depends on the involvement of all stakeholders and consistent implementation. Therefore, educational programs will be more effective if they are designed according to local needs, involve multiple parties, and are evaluated regularly to promote continuous improvement in school quality.
