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: Structural equation model of school self evaluation (case study : junior high school at west java province in 2013)
Abstrak: Provinsi Jawa Barat menempati posisi teratas dalam hal jumlah sekolah yang terakreditasi pada periode tahun 2007-2012 untuk jenjang pendidikan Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP). Untuk terus meningkatkan jumlah sekolah yang terakreditasi upaya yang dapat dilakukan adalah pelaksanaan Evaluasi Diri Sekolah (EDS). Tindaklanjut dari EDS memberikan efek positif terhadap akreditasi sekolah. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam EDS tidak dapat diukur secara langsung (peubah laten), sehingga analisis statistika yang digunakan adalah model persamaan struktural. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah memperoleh model persamaan struktural yang dapat menggambarkan hubungan antar Standar Nasional Pendidikan (peubah laten) serta dengan peubah indikatornya. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data hasil EDS SMP Provinsi Jawa Barat tahun 2013. Model persamaan struktural menunjukkan bahwa pengaruh paling besar diberikan oleh perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan pengawasan kegiatan pendidikan (Standar Pengelolaan) terhadap kinerja pendidik dan tenaga kependidikan (Standar Pendidik dan Tenaga Kependidikan). Tinggi rendahnya kompetensi siswa dan lulusan (Standar Kompetensi Lulusan) dipengaruhi paling besar oleh kesesuaian materi ajar yang digunakan sekolah dengan kurikulum yang ditetapkan (Standar Isi). Terdapat satu hubungan yang tidak berpengaruh nyata yaitu antara Standar Penilaian dengan Standar Kompetensi Lulusan. Semua peubah indikator sudah sah dan handal dalam mengukur peubah latennya setelah modifikasi., West Java Province has the most accredited junior high school in 2007-2012. To increase the number of school accredited, it need some efforts. The effort that can be done is carry out a School Self Evaluation which can bring positive effect to school accreditation. Instrument that can be used on School Self Evaluation can not be measured directly (latent variable), so the statistics analysis that used on this research was structural equation model. The objective of this research were to get structural equation model that can describe the connection within National Education Standards (latent variable) and National Education Standards (latent variable) with manifest variable. The data used on this research was the result of School Self Evaluation from West Java Province in 2013. Structural equation model showed that planning, implementation, and supervising on educational activity (Standard of the management) gave the most significant influence toward educators and educational personnel (Standard of the Educational Personnel). The level of competency of the students and graduates (Standard of the Graduate Outcomes) got the most influence from suitability of teaching materials and curriculum (Standard of the Content) that the school used. The connection between Standard of the Educational Assessment with Standard of the Graduate Outcomes was not significant. All of manifest variables that used on this research was valid and reliable to measure latent variable after modification.
