The Policy Outcomes and Feasibility of School-Based Management in Aceh

並列摘要


This research investigates the policy outcomes and feasibility of school-based management (SBM) in Aceh, Indonesia. This was done by identifying the constraints encountered in its implementation. A total of 520 respondents were surveyed; they came from different schools, elementary, junior high and high schools, and from various ranks of the provincial and district departments of education in Banda Aceh, Aceh Besar, Pidie and Lhokseumawe. Data was collected through a qualitative approach by using a semi-structured interview. In assessing the data, the constraints put forward by the respondents were categorized based on the four resources that are essential for SBM performance improvement, namely "power, knowledge, information and rewards" (Wohlstetter & Mohrman, 1994). The findings showed that most of the constraints identified in SBM implementation were related to the resource of power, such as in decentralization/ autonomy, decision making and leadership. This study also found that no formal written policy regarding the implementation of SBM as a component of national education policy was available at either the provincial or district departments of education. This study suggests that these authorities should demonstrate their commitment to the implementation of SBM in Aceh by issuing written policies to start to resolve the constraints faced in such implementation.
