The Development of Islamic Higher Education Quality in Indonesia; Revitalization of The Internal Quality Assurance System

Accreditation has always been the main goal of improving the quality of Islamic higher education. However, once the accreditation results are announced, the institution no longer pays attention to the Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS/SPMI). This study aims to analyze this problem as an affirmation that the importance of IQAS for Islamic higher education in Indonesia to be carried out in a style that is most in accordance with the characteristics of a higher education institution. This literature research – with relevant and credible sources – found that IQAS is very important even though the External Quality Assurance System (EQAS/SPME) or accreditation has been decided. IQAS can maintain and improve the quality of the institution in a sustainable manner, which is carried out internally to realize the vision and mission of the institution. In addition, IQAS can meet the needs of stakeholders through the implementation of the Threefold Missions of Higher Education (Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi). In IQAS, quality control management is important to be implemented starting from the level of institution, faculties to study programs. Furthermore, the entire academic community must have the same commitment in implementing Islamic higher education quality assurance, so that the quality assurance system can be implemented in stages, systematically and optimally.

Airline service quality evaluation for Indonesian low-cost carriers based on Extenics innovation theory

Nowadays, the market is getting competitive in all aspects of the survival of the company. Companies, especially in the service industry, realize that in order to win the market, they need to explore new ways of delighting customers. The airline industry has played a vital role in Indonesia's modern development and competitiveness. Fierce competition and shrinking profits have impelled the airlines to stress upon improving the quality of the services being provided to the passengers. Passengers have become very specific about their service needs and often tend to shift to others that pro-vide better services. Service quality has emerged as a critical consideration for airlines in the competitive global mar-ket, coinciding with Low-Cost Carriers' rapid proliferation (LCCs), bringing a paradigm shift in airline business strat-egy. Twenty-five service quality attributes identified through extensive literature review and results obtained through five modified AIRQUAL dimensions are fruitful for airline managers to address service quality issues. This paper aims to evaluate LCCs’ service quality in Indonesia using the Extenics innovation theory. The Extenics innovation theory is a kind of method with the combination of formalization, quantification, and logicalization. It is effectively applied to put forward creative ideas of new services of airlines. The concepts and principles of service attributes classification based on Extenics are also discussed. To consider interdependence and to calculate the relative importance of each criterion, the AHP method is applied. The study demonstrates and signifies that the Extenics theory and AHP method are promising and pragmatic evaluation model for customer-oriented airline strategic planning. This study has a number of practical implications for LCC airlines, its policy makers and managers. Findings of this study suggest that LCC airlines should focus on appropriate strategies for improving their customers’ satisfaction. Airlines should con-cern on service failures such as delays by providing extra customer care to supplement required material compensation and provide valuable objective feedback and information. A theoretical implication of this study is that Extenics inno-vation theory can classify and prioritize the service attributes of airlines. Further, the scope of future research works has been discussed at the end to conclude the paper.

Deoxygenation rate coefficient in modeling the quality of urban rivers in Indonesia

This study investigates the use of the deoxygenation rate coefficient in modeling the urban river water quality in Indonesia. The method used in this study is data collection in the form of calculating the rate of deoxygenation carried out in rivers in several urban areas based on previous studies. This assessment includes the amount of deoxygenation rate, calculation, and determination method. Based on the studies conducted, the method recently used is laboratory treatment. Several studies have used an empirical formula proposed by Hydroscience to determine the deoxygenation rate. Most of the deoxygenation rate value determination used the Slope Method, but many also directly referenced typical values without performing analysis in the laboratory. The deoxygenation rate for urban rivers in Indonesia, which has been based on various determination methods, varies from 0.001 per day to more than 1.00 per day. Low deoxygenation rates are often found at sampling sites. This can be caused by pollutants that inhibit the process of decomposing organic matter in river waters. The comparison between the use of laboratory tests and empirical formulas shows a vast difference.

Study of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) Quality Education in Indonesia in the First Three Years

The aim of this study is to conduct research and analysis on Indonesia's progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Quality Education over the last three years (2015-2018). The aim of this study is to assess and comprehend Indonesia's progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for Quality Education since they were announced in 2015. In Indonesia, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Education Quality thesis utilizes a qualitative research design. We conducted this research using a case study analysis based on the procedure, the data, and the triangulation of sources. We draw certain conclusions as a result of the study. To begin, in comparison to four years ago, at the time of the SDGs' initial ratification, Indonesia experienced better progress in terms of timeliness and participatory processes. But even so, the challenges faced by implementing the SDGs are not just about those two things. In terms of substance, the ambition of SDGs to eliminate the negation component of the development is a work that is almost close to utopia. Second, in terms of the process, the implementation of SDGs Quality Education at the national level still leaves homework such as accountability mechanisms, receipt of data from non-government parties, and the participation process itself. This should not be seen as a burden but rather a challenge that must be faced to improve performance for the acceleration of Indonesia's quality education national development until 2030. Third, the active role of the government is certainly the main capital for the implementation and achievement of SDGs quality education in Indonesia. Initiatives that come from various parties, including universities, bring optimism that the SDGs quality education will be implemented on inclusive and participatory principles. Fourth, a coalition of civil society organizations is needed to ensure that the SDGs' quality education is implemented in the context of Indonesia's growth, both at the national and regional levels. These social systems have the potential to pressure the Indonesian government to prepare for a variety of things, both procedurally and substantively.

National ambient air quality standardization in Indonesia: A mini-review and critical mind map

PP RI No. 41 1999 has been the only legitimate policy of national ambient air quality standard in Indonesia since more than 20 years ago. Most of standard for air quality parameters were set based on precautionary principle. It ratified other ambient air quality standards globally which is less representative from real conditions in Indonesia. Due to possibility of massive changes in national air quality conditions and various technological and non-technological factors driving them. The needs of national ambient air quality revision in Indonesia is raising. In addition, air quality as public value needs to be managed strategically by Indonesia’s government in order to provide basic need of society. More representative standard is a key for better monitoring and controlling ambient air quality in Indonesia. Hence, we proposed a critical mind map of integrated approach, air quality standardization principle, and brief process on how to reset national ambient air quality standard. It included the path role of public administrator, private administrator, and theorist in defining integrated framework of status quo and snap prediction. This mind map can be used as base of re-standardization ambient air quality in Indonesia. Furthermore, upcoming greater legitimate policy on this issue is gladly looked forward.

CURRICULUM REFORM IN THE DECENTRALIZATION OF EDUCATION IN INDONESIA: EFFECT ON STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENTS

This study examines the estimated effect of curriculum reform in the Indonesian secondary education after the implementation of the decentralization policy in 2001. Whilst decentralization reform is argued to be positive for the improvement of school quality and efficiency due to more autonomy given for provincial and local governments, the empirical evidence on such reform towards the improvement of students’ learning outcomes is very limited. Using the propensity score analysis, this study shows that the curriculum reform has not produced a substantial return in the aspect of improved learning outcomes. This finding resonates with the evidence from previous studies on the impact of decentralization on the education quality in Indonesia. Additionally, other findings present a positive effect of pre-school attendance on students’ performance and the crucial issue of persisting gap on the education quality between regions even after almost twenty years of decentralization in the country.
