Judul: Evaluasi Diri Sekolah Tingkat Pendidikan Sekolah Dasar Menggunakan Model Persamaan Struktural Multisample (Studi Kasus Provinsi Bali dan Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta)
Abstrak: Education has an important role in preparing human source for national development. The province of Bali and Special Region of Yogyakarta got either first or second highest score of the Elementary School National Exam in 2010 and 2011. National Exam can be used as an indicator to see the quality of education, so these provinces can be used as a reference to improve the education quality of other provinces. The success of the National Exam had related with the the successful achievement of the Standar Nasional Pendidikan (SNP). SNP had been used as instrument in Evaluasi Diri Sekolah which is a government program to monitoring the quality of school education. SNP consists of eight standards that are interconnected with each other. In this study use six SNP outside of Standar Pembiayaan and Standar Sarana dan Prasarana, SNP variables can not be measured directly. This study examines the effect of differences in the relationship between structural equation modeling (SEM) of Bali and Yogyakarta Province, so the analysis is multisample SEM. SEM showed that Standar Pengelolaan affect Standar Pendidik dan Tenaga Kependidikan (PTK). Standar PTK affect the Standar Isi, Standar Proses, and Standar Penilaian. Standar Isi affect Standar Proses and Standar Proses affects Standar Kompetensi Lulusan (SKL). The SEM of Bali and Yogyakarta province are different in case of effect latent variable, the Standar Penilaian not affect the Standar Proses on SEM of Bali province, while the Standar Proses does not affect the Standar Penilaian and SKL on SEM of Yogyakarta province.

Judul: Evaluasi Diri Sekolah Tingkat Sekolah Menengah Atas Menggunakan Model Persamaan Struktural (Studi Kasus di Provinsi Maluku, Sulawesi Barat, Sulawesi Tengah, dan Sulawesi Tenggara)
Abstrak: Education has a strategic role in the national development. According to the National Accreditation Board in 2012, the Provinces of Maluku, West Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, and Southeast Sulawesi has a low value of accreditation for the senior high school. Accreditation is measured through eight Standar Nasional Pendidikan (SNP) which is used as an instrument in the Evaluasi Diri Sekolah (EDS). SNP consists of eight standards that are interconnected with each other. Value of each standard can not be measured directly so it called latent variables, latent variables can be measured through the manifest variables. Structural equation model is used in this study to analyze the relationship between SNP itself and relationship between SNP with the manifest variables that measure SNP in the four provinces. Structural equation model showed that the latent variables contents (ISI), process (PRS), valuation (NIL), educators and education personnel (PTK), and management (PNG) are all affect the competency standards (SKL). Latent variable ISI has the largest total effect to SKL when compared with four other latent variables that is equal to 36.05%. All manifest variables are valid to measure each latent variable at significance level of 0.10.
