Abstract

Responding to students’ low-ranking achievements in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), Minister of Education and Culture of Indonesia introduced a School Literacy Movement (SLM) to schools in an effort to improve students’ reading competence. Despite such an effort, the implementation of SLM in schools still undergoes hurdles. The present study aims to (a) investigate how SLM is implemented in junior high schools in West Lombok Regency; (b) identify the good practice of SLM; (c) promote models of evaluation that supports the implementation of SLM. The research employed a qualitative research method. Data were collected through interviews, observations and questionnaires from 10 junior high state schools in West Lombok Regency. Results of the study show thin schools employed different approaches to the implementation of SLM due to unavailability of clear guidance to run SLM. Also, schools did not have evaluation tools to assess students’ reading competence.

Abstract

With the coming of educational reform in Indonesia, school principals are required to have adequate competencies to meet the national standards. The setting of this standard is intended to reduce the achievement gap among principals and ensure that all schools run the government policies. Minister of National Education (MONE) Regulation Number No. 13 of 2007 has mandated that every principal’s performance be evaluated on a regular basis. However, this evaluation has not revealed much the real condition in the field. For this reason, the current research attempts to evaluate success factors made by principals in performing 5 dimensions of leadership. The research was conducted in West Lombok Regency and employed a qualitative research design. Results of the study show that factors that determined principals’ success in sustaining their leaderships, among other things, were their abilities to network, collaborate, develop partnerships, and meet teachers’ welfares and students’ achievements.
