Implementation of Learning Organizations to Achieve Effective Schools in the Efforts to Develop an Elementary School Education Management Model

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to implement a learning organization to realize an effective school in the framework of developing an elementary school management model. The implementation is carried out by applying five components, namely personal mastery, system thinking, mental models, shared vision and team learning. This research uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. Research data collection was carried out using an effective school measurement instrument consisting of 40 assessment indicators. The instruments were analyzed using the Rasch Model approach through the Winstep program. Data analysis techniques used t-test. The results showed that the learning organization in the education management model can improve effective schools in the aspects of input, process, output, and feedback. Data analysis was performed using the Rasch Model approach through the Winsteps program for Effective School scale measurement instruments. Alpha Cronbach's value of 0.75 which measures reliability is the interaction between person and items as a whole that are in the good category. The unidimensionality of instruments is an important measure to evaluate whether the instrument is capable of measuring what it should be. Raw variance data is 26.1%. This shows that a minimum requirement of 20% can be fulfilled. From the calculation, results show that t-count ≥ t-table, which is 5.975 ≥ 1.664. It can be stated that the learning organization in the effective education management model can improve effective schools in primary schools in Pringsewu District.
