Planning
According to the research, the form The school environment must also look beautiful, comfortable to the eye so that the learning atmosphere can be more humanist in contact with a peaceful rural environment, away from noise so that it is very supportive of the learning atmosphere at school where students and adequacy of infrastructure, the availability of funds, and the location or geographical conditions of the region.The frontier, outermost and underdeveloped regions are regions where the level of development, including education development, is relatively lagging behind other regions.There are many factors that influence this condition, such as geographical conditions, lack of human resources capable of surviving in difficult areas, social and cultural, funding, and other special conditions.These special conditions are advantages or local wisdom that must be considered in educational development (A Dudung et al., 2018).The National Education System is basically part of National Development and as an effort to realize national goals in the education sector.Specifically, the National Development Goals are stated in the National Education System Law Number 20 of 2003 Article 3, stating that national education functions to develop abilities and form the character and civilization of a dignified nation in order to educate the nation's life, aims to develop potential in order to become a human being who is faithful and devoted to God Almighty, has noble character, is healthy, capable, creative, independent, and becomes a democratic and responsible citizen (Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 20 of 2003 Article 3).Improving the quality of education is a means of national development in the field of education and is an integral part of efforts to improve the quality of Indonesian human resources in a kaffah (comprehensive) manner.This has been done by the Minister of National Education who on May 2 has launched the "Education Quality Movement", and more focused on efforts to improve the quality of education mandated in the Law of the Republic unit of education in formal and non-formal channels is obliged to guarantee the quality of education.2. Education quality assurance referred to in paragraph 1 aims to meet or exceed the National Education Standards.3. Education quality assurance is carried out gradually, systematically and planned in a quality assurance program that has clear targets and time frames (PP RI No. 19 of 2005) (Untari, 2017).Principal is a career position that a person obtains after a long career as a teacher.A person who is trusted to be a principal must meet the required criteria.According to Ahmad, effective principals have the following characteristics: (1) have a leadership spirit and are able to manage or lead schools, (2) have the ability to solve problems, (3) have social skills, (4) are professional and competent in their field of work (Fauzi, 2021).
limited in each village and only one in each village so that community interest in sending their children to school is quite high, only a small proportion send their children to the Regency Capital.This is due to the psychological state of adolescents at junior high school level who are still considered vulnerable to being separated from their parents.Both schools are also located in a village that has no electricity and no access to internet signals, so they are included in the Frontier, Outermost and Disadvantaged areas.Both schools only utilize solar panels and use simple signal finders because they are far from telkomsel towers.The results of temporary observations show that there are quite a lot of students attending these two public junior high schools, but researchers still see many shortcomings, especially in the quality of teaching management.Teachers are lacking in the use of electronic media and limited facilities and infrastructure.Likewise, the way and style of teaching is still rigid and less creative, only giving assignments and only using the lecture method.This is contrary to the goals of national education and the ideals of the Indonesian nation to improve the quality of education provision with quality management, but still strive for schools to excel and achieve.METHOD In this study, when viewed from the location of data sources including the category of field research, while the approach used according to the type of data, this research includes qualitative research (Creswell, 2007).The descriptive skin approach model, this is felt to be very appropriate to use because it can produce descriptive data in the form of written and oral words where the acquisition of data naturally comes directly from data sources at the research location.So that the results of the acquisition of these data will be able to interpret the research entitled Teaching Quality Management in South Barito Regency Junior High School, while in this study focused on Teaching Quality Management in South Barito Regency Junior High School.This research was conducted at SMP Negeri Satu Atap 1 Dusun Selatan and SMPN 7 Muara Ripung Village.The reason for choosing this research location is because of its characteristics as a school that is included in the outermost, foremost, and disadvantaged categories.The research informants are the Principal and Educators and education personnel at SMPN 7 South Hamlet and SMPN One Roof 1 South Hamlet, while the object is School Quality Management in Improving Achievement at South Hamlet Junior High School (SMPN) in South Barito Regency.Data collection techniques using observation, interviews and documentation studies.Initial observations were made in order to see how the Communication Pattern of the Principal of SMPN 7 and SMPN Satu Atap 1 Dusun Selatan in Waste Management in Barito Kuala Regency by reviewing several sources of literature and several journals related to communication patterns.Interviews were conducted by researchers interviewing 8 informants, consisting of (two) people from the Principal who have the authority to make decisions and village policies and 6 (six) people, namely teachers who are an extension of the hands technically assisting the Principal in carrying out school programs and goals.The documents shown in this case are all documents related to waste management in the village of SMPN 7 and SMPN Satu Atap 1 Dusun Selatan Dalam and documents so that these documents can strengthen the data collected and analyzed in a study.Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman technique, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing.To ensure data validity, data triangulation techniques, extended field participation and increased persistence were used.
Planning in quality management involves a combination of quality elements such as school programs, vision, mission and goals to ensure that the message is easily understood and implemented in every learning process in accordance with the established quality management standards.The Principal uses quality management strategies by planning steps to improve school performance, utilizing the 8 existing standards.One of the steps is to provide guidance to teachers through various trainings and seminars, both online and offline (Prasetya et al., 2022).This process begins with socialization at school meetings and at every possible meeting opportunity.In line with the planning, effective coordination is done to ensure coaching from the principal and motivate all parties.This aims to achieve a common understanding from all members of the academic community in the effort to advance the school towards the desired quality standards, even if the school is located in disadvantaged, remote or outermost areas.Organizing Organizing in the context of education management is a complex and vital process in achieving quality standards and improving the quality of education in an educational institution such as SMPN organizing function covers a variety of aspects, from the clear distribution of tasks to each member of the organization, the establishment of units or sections that facilitate the implementation of these tasks, to the delegation of authority and responsibility and the preparation of an efficient service system.In the context of organizing in educational institutions, this means ensuring that each staff member, teacher and educator has a clear role and specific responsibilities in an effort to improve the quality of learning and school achievement (Hasnadi, 2021; Maryani, 2021).Through the summary of interviews with the Principals of SMPN 7 and SMPN Satu Atap 1 Dusun, it was revealed that the planning strategy adopted for the implementation of the Quality Standards involves structured organization.The Principal plays a key role in ensuring that the organization is well organized, by giving clear authority and responsibility to each member of her staff.This strategy aims to improve the quality of learning and achieve better results for the school.Through these efforts, it is expected that the quality of teaching at SMPN Dusun Selatan, the common goal of improving the quality of education in the school.Thus, effective and structured organization is one of the keys to success in implementing of guidance and motivation can be realized through various activities, such as In-House Training (IHT) and the Motivation and Mentoring Program (PMM).These activities are designed to actively involve teachers and education personnel in the learning process and professional development.In addition, training and seminars are also important means of raising their awareness and skills in quality management.The approach used in motivating teachers and education personnel should prioritize an approach that inspires and encourages, without pressure or coercion.It is important to create a comfortable and supportive environment, so that teachers and education personnel feel supported and motivated to continue improving the quality of their work.will not be able to run well if it is not managed properly, which should be preceded by a good planning as well.The planning referred to here must certainly be participatory, involving all relevant elements of the school, especially those who will be the target group, it must also include the learning process and the implementation of the vision, mission and objectives implemented.Management has certain objectivesand is intangible, because it cannot be seen, but the results can be felt, namely the realization of optimal activity output, there is personal satisfaction, products and services are better, and reach the target.Management includes activities to achieve goals, which are carried out by individuals who give their best efforts through predetermined actions.Efforts and actions include knowing what to do, determining how to do it, understanding how to do it and measuring the effectiveness of the efforts made.Furthermore, it is necessary to establish and maintain an environmental condition and situation that provides economic, psychological, social, political responses and technical contributions as well as control (Terry, 2009: 10).The control function assumes that effective leadership must be able to direct the activities of its members in a directed and deep manner.Effective coordination, thus enabling the achievement of common goals to the maximum.In carrying out the control function, leaders can realize through guidance, direction, coordination and supervision activities.The strategy carried out in terms of control or control that has been carried out in coaching to improve quality management collaboratively by the Principal, teachers and students through meetings to be more effective.The results of controlling or measuring quality management standards are the basis for discussion in every meeting both at the beginning of the semester and the end of the semester and every time there is a school program implementation.Based on the discussion, to achieve an effective school quality management strategy, several things need to be considered, among others: (1) Principals should have good managerial skills, in the appropriate division of tasks and authority; (2) Coaching should always be carried out in every learning activity; (3) Achieving quality is a process that knows no end; (4) Quality improvement is a continuous process, not a one-time program; (5) Quality requires leadership from school board members and administrators; (6) Everyone in the school should receive training.The essence of these ideas is that establishing quality as a basic principle for school education, the strategies and philosophies are the same as those that have proven successful in other fields.(Habibah, 2014; Ismail, 2014; plans to teachers and education personnel in addition to encouraging and controlling teacher activities in learning by conducting evaluations at the beginning and at the end of the semester for teachers while for education personnel in order to carry out services to teachers and students in administrative management so that all learning activities and school programs are well documented and neat in the form of organized archives, neat arrangement of tables and chairs, a comfortable atmosphere. teachers will be able to develop communication and interact in education and training coaching in order to achieve the objectives of the school program.Another strategy is that the principal as the leadership in the school either through meetings or casual dialog at school provides direction and guidance to teachers and students to always study hard and develop creativity and artistic and cultural activities such as poetry, dance, speeches, quizzes and in the field of sports such as athletics, games and others(Agus Dudung et al., 2018; Jakaria et al.,   2019; Prasetya et al., 2022).Principals can socialize with a persuasive approach to motivate teachers and students, as well as education personnel to memorize and carry out the vision, mission, and goals of the school to be better in improving quality management.This can be done by holding meetings with the committee, utilizing social media or the village website, putting up banners and posters in the school environment, and others.Utilize social media such as mobile phones, television and online media to campaign for the importance of improving school quality and learning.Social media can be an effective means to reach a based on the research findings include: 1. Road access that is still not connected on the road, must go through and techniques used to plan, organize and control communication in an organization.There is a close link between quality management theory and the supporting and inhibiting factors in the context of improving school achievement, where effective planning, organizing and controlling quality management standards are essential to ensure program success.Supporting factors such as the utilization of the atmosphere in remote areas, the competence of teachers as well as student achievement are made with a clear plan, all of which can be linked to Barito Regency, it can be concluded as follows: (1) Planning the implementation of quality standards in schools has been carried out with an understanding and method in accordance with quality management standards and planned; (2) Implementation of the implementation of quality standards in schools has been carried out with guidance, strategies, time and place, measured in accordance with quality management standards; (3) Organizing the implementation of quality standards in schools is carried out with management procedures and structured according to the field of education units; (5) Evaluation of the implementation of quality standards in schools is carried out consistently.
