Implementasi Akreditasi dalam Perspektif Guru dan Kepala Sekolah di Yogyakarta

Abstract

Implementation of accreditation-based school quality assurance is one form of quality assurance carried out by the government comprehensively. Therefore all schools/madrasahs are required to reaccredit schools every five years. The accreditation results become a picture of the quality of schools in general that are easily read by the public. In this case, teachers and principals are the people who directly experience the implementation of the government's accreditation policy. This study aims to explore the implementation of accreditation-based school quality assurance in Yogyakarta according to the perceptions of teachers and principals. This research will use the survey method. Quantitative research samples were determined randomly, with a total of 410 respondents. Quantitative data collection techniques used questionnaires, which were distributed online from March to June 2021. Data analysis techniques were carried out using descriptive quantitative methods. The results showed that most teachers and principals had a positive perception of the implementation of school accreditation to ensure the quality of education in schools. This positive perception is one of the supporting factors for increasing public confidence in accreditation results to measure school quality in Indonesia.
