<p class="PRIMAJUDULArtikelEnglish">Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1) mengevaluasi ketercapaian program pendidikan karakter pada tingkat sekolah dasar di Kabupaten Kulon Progo, (2) memberikan rekomendasi baik kepada guru, sekolah, maupun pemerintah untuk perbaikan program pendidikan karakter. Jenis penelitian adalah evaluasi program (evaluasi formatif) dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Subjek penelitian meliputi: (1) empat sekolah dasar di Kabupaten Kulon Progo, yaitu SDN 4 Wates, SDN 6 Bendungan, SDN Kriyan, dan SDN Selo; (2) Pengawas SD Kecamatan Kokap dan Pengawas SD Kecamatan Wates; dan (3) Di-nas Pendidikan Kulon Progo. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis data Milles &amp; Huberman meliputi: reduksi data, penyajian data, dan verifikasi data. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah: (1) kesiapan sekolah dasar di Kabupaten Kulon Progo untuk mengimplementasikan pendidikan karakter baik, dinilai dari kurikulum yang telah terintegrasi pendidikan karakter, namun masih kurang dalam hal pengelolaan sarana prasarana pendukung dan banyak guru memerlukan lebih banyak pengetahuan dan keterampilan tentang pendidikan karakter; (2) implementasi pendidikan karakter belum tampak pada kegiatan pembelajaran; (3) dukungan dari pemerintah dalam sosialisasi atau pelatihan dirasa masih kurang oleh sekolah; (4) monitoring dan evaluasi pendidikan karakter masih terbatas pada kurikulum dan dilakukan melalui pembinaan pengawas di setiap sekolah; dan (5) kendala yang umum dihadapi sekolah adalah penilaian sikap siswa yang belum terdokumentasi, kurangnya pemahaman guru untuk mengimplementasikan pendidikan karakter, dan tidak adanya sinergi antara pendidikan di sekolah dengan pendidikan di rumah.</p> <p class="PRIMAABSTRAKKeywords"><strong>_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________</strong></p> <p><strong><em> </em></strong></p> <p class="PRIMAABSTRAKJudul"><strong>A PROGRAM EVALUATION OF CHARACTER EDUCATION IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OF KULON PROGO REGENCY<br /></strong></p><p class="PRIMAABSTRAKJudul"><em><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></em></p> <p class="PRIMAABSTRAKBodyEnglish">This study aims to: (1) evaluate the progress of character education program in the elementary schools in Kulon Progo Regency, and (2) give recommendation to teachers, schools, and the government about the character education program’s improvement. This research used a program evaluation of Scriven’s formative evaluation model with the qualitative approach. The research subjects comprised: (1) four elementary schools in Kulon Progo, i.e. SDN 4 Wates, SDN 6 Bendungan, SDN Kriyan, and SDN Selo, (2) elementary school’s superintendents of Wates and Kokap, and (3) the education department of Kulon Progo. This research used the qualitative data analysis from Miles &amp; Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and verification. The conclusions of this study are that: (1) the readiness of school for implementing character education is good, assessed from their curriculum integrated with character education, but still not good enough in terms of facility management, and the number of teachers in need of more knowledge and skills about character education; (2) the implementation of character education does not happen yet in the classroom learning activities; (3) the sample schools consider that the support from the government is insufficient especially for character education training; (4) the monitoring and evaluation of character education are still limited to the curriculum and done by the school’s superintendents; and (5) the constraints at character education are undocumented students’s behavior assessment, lack of teacher’s understanding to implement the character education, and there is no synergy between education at school and education at home.</p> <strong>Keywords</strong>: program evaluation, character education, elementary school<br />

Proportional reasoning is perhaps one of the most important types of mathematical thinking for elementary school students to develop. It includes aspects of rational numbers, spans the entire mathematics curriculum, and is a significant foundation for mathematical proficiency. Understanding students' use of proportional reasoning is a basis on which to develop benchmarks or guideposts that can provide a descriptive picture of the learning progression between elementary school math and mathematics encountered in later grades.

Penelitian pengembangan ini bertujuan menghasilkan instrumen asesmen kebutuhan peserta didik, disebut Invantori Kebutuhan Perkembangan Murid (IKPM). Penelitian mengikuti model Plomp (1999) dengan lima fase. Reliabilitas instrumen diestimasi dengan teknik Alpha Cronbach, validitas isi diperiksa oleh pakar dan telaah praktisi melalui FGD. Validitas empirik dan kecocokan model pengukuran dibuktikan dengan analisis faktor konfirmatori (CFA) dengan program Lisrel 8.30. Telaah praktisi melibatkan 60 orang guru kelas V dan VI SD dalam dua tahap FGD, sedangkan uji coba empirik dan implementasi melibatkan murid kelas V dan VI. Hasil penelitian pengembang-an ini adalah: 1) IKPM dapat digunakan untuk menghimpun data kebutuhan perkembangan sebagai dasar penyusunan kurikulum bimbingan dan melaksanakan evaluasi program, bimbingan dan alat ukur evaluasi program bimbingan klasikal di sekolah dasar dan 2) teridentifikasi butir-butir kebutuhan per-kembangan murid yang intens dan sangat intens untuk dipenuhi melalui layanan bimbingan klasikal.Kata kunci: instrumen asesmen kebutuhan, kurikulum bimbingan, instrument evaluasi program BK ______________________________________________________________DEVELOPMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENT FOR CURRICULUM ARRANGEMENT AND EVALUATION OF BK PROGRAM Abstract The goal of this research is to produce a developmental needs assessment instrument, called Student’s Developmental Needs Inventory, which can be use to reveal the needs of students in elementary school. The research method follows the model of Research and Development (R & D) by Plomp (1999) with five phases. The instrument which is developed in this study guidance and counseling (Bimbingan Konseling, BK) in elementary school. Instrument reliability is estimated using by Alpha Cronbach technique, it content validity is checked by experts judgment and practitioner’s assessment with FGD technique. Furthermore, empirical validity and the goodness of fit measurement model was measured with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) through the application of Lisrel 8.30 program. However, try out of test and implementation involves students of grade five and six elementary schools. The results of this research: (1) the instrument can be used to gathering data of developmental needs as based of guidance curriculum arrangement and to conduct program evaluation in elementary school, and (2) there are several items of student’s developmental needs that needs to be fullfiled through classical guidance services.Key words: needs assessment instrument, guidance curriculum, program evaluation instrument of guidance and counseling
