ANALISIS MULTIVARIAT UNTUK PEMETAAN KARAKTERISTIK MUTU PENDIDIKAN SEKOLAH MENENGAH KEJURUAN (SMK) DI INDONESIA

Abstract

Evaluation of the education quality in Indonesia, especially in Vocational High Schools (VHS), carried out through the Presidential Instruction 2016. The implementation of these instructions is not easy because of the different characteristics of each region both geographically and socio-culturally. This study aims to analyze related to the mapping of the characteristics of the quality of vocational education from 34 provinces in Indonesia. The methods used are correspondence analysis, biplot analysis, and cluster analysis which are multivariate statistical analysis methods. The correspondence analysis results show that there are differences in the characteristics of the quality of vocational education from each province based on school accreditation. The biplot analysis show that Teacher Quality is greatest diversity variable compared to other variables. In addition, the provinces of Aceh, East Nusa Tenggara, West Sulawesi and Central Kalimantan have a quality score below the average and are dominated by non-accredited VHSs based on the results of the analysis. The k-means cluster analysis with 4 optimal clusters gives the result that cluster 2 is the cluster with the best quality value while cluster 4 is the cluster with the lowest quality value. Three analytical concluded that provinces with very good quality scores such as DKI Jakarta, Bali and DI Yogyakarta can be used as pilot provinces for other provinces. Meanwhile, provinces with VHS quality scores below the provincial average as a whole should receive attention in order to further improve the quality of their VHSs
