Developing a Discrepancy Evaluation Model (Dem) to Optimize PEP Unnes Online Workshop Series

Abstract

PEP UNNES has a responsibility to encourage the scientific culture and improve the quality of education in this Covid-19 pandemic era. Therefore PEP UNNES organize a series of online workshop that is open for all parties. But, to improve the quality of implementation, there must be a comprehensive evaluation. This study aimed to obtain two main things. First; Evaluate the target achievement of the PEP Unnes online workshop series. Second, provide recommendations related to the implementation of the next workshop. The approach of this study is descriptive qualitative using the basis of the Discrepancy Evaluation Model (DEM), which has five main stages. (1) Designing Criteria; (2) Program Operation; (3) Program Interim Product; (4) Program Terminal Product; (5) Program Cost-Benefit Analysis. The objects of this study were workshop participants who become members of the WhatsApp groups. According to the stage of DEM, this study concludes five points. The finding on the first stage is the lack of budget and funding strategy. The performance on the second stage is 87,5%, with 12,5% of the discrepancy. The total performance of program implantation in stage 3 is 83,4%, with the score of the discrepancy is 16,6%. The achievement of the terminal product is excellent, where 75% of the participant takes more than once, and there are 52.5% participant will remain to take the next program even they have to pay. And, the finding of the final stage is the lack of predicting the future result.
