Condition of Program Learning Outcomes of Physical Education Study Program from Alumni Perspective

Abstract

The completeness of the Program Learning Outcomes (PLO) listed in the curriculum in a study program has been monitored through assessments carried out in each subject for students. Assessment is objective from one side of the lecturer based on students' performance attending theoretical lectures and learning experiences on campus. PLO needs to be updated according to the progress of the times continuously. The purpose of writing this article is to describe the completeness of the alumni of the study program in achieving PLO contextually when they became PE teachers at school. This descriptive research data collection uses a survey method to 73 PE teachers with essential characteristics consisting of graduation period, gender, school status, school accreditation, teacher experience, employment status, teacher level of education, amount of teaching hours, school level. Closed questionnaires were used as research instruments prepared based on the PLO applicable in the curriculum of the study program. Data analysis used percentage, chi-square, and spearman correlation. The results show that four PLOs (PLO-6, 7, 9, 10) are influenced by the variable of teacher teaching experience. The correlation that occurs is negative. That is, the longer the teaching experience, the more incomplete the PLO required. So it can be concluded that the PLO curriculum of the study program must be upgraded according to the needs of PE teachers while carrying out their duties at school.

An Investigation of Additional Training and Self-development of Undergraduate Students

“…Updating the curriculum and implementing various new approaches is reasonable to do as an effort to diversify (take opportunities to be better) [4]. Based on the results of previous studies, it can be explained that the condition of student learning outcomes is stated to be increasingly irrelevant to the demands of the job market, so that study programs need to periodically upgrade the curriculum to adjust student learning outcomes to the demands of competence in the workplace [5]. The curriculum that will be implemented by universities should be able to guarantee students' mastery in achieving work skills for relevant employment.…”
