Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate planning in career development for lecturers with the status of TNI (Indonesian Armed Forces) soldiers at Indonesia Defense University (IDU). The evaluation adopted the Countenance Stake model which conceptualizes a description matrix containing intents and observations and a judgment matrix containing standards and judgments. The evaluation focused on regulatory bases, program supports, as well as monitoring and evaluation planned to support lecturers' careers. The qualitative design used in this study is supported by primary and secondary data obtained through literature studies, observations, and interviews. Data analysis was conducted through the interactive approach of Miles and Huberman in data display activities, data reduction, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that planning in career development for lecturers from Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) has been sufficiently supported by good results (84%), through basic support for external and internal policies, Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi (Three Pillars of Higher Education comprising Education, Research and Community Service) program and supporting elements, as well as plans for monitoring and evaluating performance.

Summary

Introduction

The importance of the lecturer's role is beyond doubt. Lecturers play a role in producing quality graduates (Harison & Faisal, 2017), improving human quality and educating the nation's life (Auliana & Nurasiah, 2017), and as a workforce (Arokiansamy et al, 2009). The affirmation of the role of lecturers is mandated in Law Number 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers, Government Regulation Number 37 of 2009 concerning Lecturers, and various related laws and regulations. According to these regulations, lecturers are defined as professional educators and scholars with the main task of transforming, developing, and disseminating science, technology, and arts through education, research, and community service. The importance of the lecturer's role requires lecturers' professional development that can be performed systematically. The linear role of lecturers and career development will encourage lecturers to perform well. Career development is related to the process executed by an organization in order to change the status, position, or function of someone working in the organization (Muspawi, 2017)
