Design of Management on School Literacy Program: A Perspective from Indonesian Schools

Abstract

This study aims to describe a design of management of school literacy programs (SLP) at a Junior High School, East Java, Indonesia and describe teachers' and students' responses about SLP in the school. This method is a descriptive-explorative research which collects data from questionnaires and unstructured interviews. This study used the SLP management design through sequential stages that need assessment, planning, organizing, actuating or implementation, and controlling (monitor and evaluation). Data from 20 students and 5 teachers were analyzed by percentage and qualitative analysis including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The results of the study illustrate the SLP management design that is quite effective because it involves all the components in the school and selected management behaviors tend to be supportive-facilitative. Teachers and students tend to respond positively to the SLP although there are several aspects that need to be improved such as the use of technology and the productivity of the work of students or teachers.
