Evaluation Study of Special Class Sports Program Management at High School Level

Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate the management of the special sports class (kelas khusus olahraga/KKO) program. Material and Methods: This research is evaluation research that employed the context, input, process, and product (CIPP) evaluation model. The research utilized a qualitative data approach, employing an interview guide as a research instrument. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling, specifically purposive sampling, which involved setting research sample criteria and obtaining 5 samples. Each sample was interviewed at different times, and their identities were kept confidential to ensure objectivity in the responses. The findings of this research indicate that the evaluation of the special sports class program management in all aspects is still suboptimal. The results for each aspect are as follows: the context aspect meets the good criteria, the input aspect meets the medium criteria, the process aspect falls into the poor criteria, and the product aspect also meets the medium criteria. These results are accompanied by essential notes fundamental to the input, process, and product aspects. As a result, the researchers recommend several actions for each aspect. Firstly, for the context aspect, administrators are advised to continue operating the program in line with the existing vision and mission to enhance its optimal functioning. Secondly, for the input aspect, administrators are encouraged to place KKO students within the science major. Furthermore, for the process aspect, it is recommended that the management determine the continuity of the teaching and learning process for the KKO program, whether to use a new curriculum specifically for KKO, merge it with regular classes, or continue managing it in one class by simply changing the major system. Finally, for the product aspect, it is recommended to collaborate with the education department and local sports faculties to provide outreach to prospective students and their parents about the function of the KKO program’s major system
