Analysis of Class Size of Senior High School (Sma) With National Examination Results in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to develop a rationalization strategy for class size through mapping school typologies and correlation analysis based on class size and the results of the National Examination at the Senior high school. Data in the research use quadrant analysis based on the class size and the results of the National Examination followed by correlation analysis. There were 9,565 schools that met the standards, reaching 76.14%. The number of students per class <20, number of classes <3 does not correlate significantly with the UNBK science and social studies results. Schools with the number of students per class <20 and rombel <3 are private schools that have the lowest UN scores compared to schools in other quadrants. The number of students per class and number of classes is not conditioned but because of a shortage of students. Correlation value in the quadrant with the number of students per class 20-36 and the number of classes > 36 highest compared to other quadrant correlation values. Correlation value r = 0.318 IPA and r = 0.305 IPS. That schools have accreditation value above 93 and ensured the quality of the learning process is guaranteed which amounts to 98 schools (0.78%). Increasing the number of students per class and the number of classes per school is adjusted to the capacity of school resources and classrooms. However, SMA with the optimum UNBK score is in the position of the average number of class 33 and the number of students per class 36.
