This study was carried out with experimental design, by doing different treatment between classes in the same level. The subjects of the study consisted of 63 students spread into three classes; 7A, 7B, and 7C. Class 7C was a control group, using Bahasa Indonesia (mother tongue) in learning Mathematics. Class 7A and 7B were the experimental groups, where 7A was in English and 7B used bilingual (English and Indonesian). Results of the study include the following; using English is not detrimental to the students in mark achievement that is shown by the average of the final mark of Mathematics that is not significantly different. The challenges that arise from learning Mathematics need to be reviewed from the process, readiness, independence, motivation of students and needs to be followed up critically so that students can achieve better results. Short and long-term programs need to be created and observed in order to support the learning process of Mathematics for students, such as training teachers to be able to teach mathematics in English, in supporting action study by teachers, managed by the school.

Abstract

The aim of the research was to identify and map the school principals’ competence in English-speaking schools setting, according to the Decree of Ministry of Education no 13/2007 regarding competence standard for school principals and in implementing school-based management (SBM). The research applied a qualitative descriptive method, although the data were processed in a quantitative way. The data were gathered through structured questionnaires collected from ten principals and 74 teachers from ten schools. Data validation was conducted through interviews with ten school principals, two teachers per school, and the board’s representatives. The result of the research is the recommendations of the school principals’ competence development program as an alternative solution for the schools. The result shows that the school principals’ competencies have met the government standard competence. In the implementation of SBM, the school principals need to improve their five dimensions of principal competence (personal, managerial, entrepreneurship, supervision, and social). Especially the essence of SBM through training programs are principals’ roles and responsibilities, developing school profiles, school visioning, financial and school facilities management, strategic planning, school as a learning community, academic supervision, monitoring and evaluation, school marketing and branding, and nontraining programs.
