Principal Performance

The role of the principal is important for directing school life to achieve school goals. The principal appointment is attained through formal and rational consideration, determined by procedures, requirements, and regulations. This study is concerned with the development of performance appraisal model of junior high school principals and is aimed to achieve the following aims: 1) to detect rules and system regarding principals performance appraisal; 2) to verify and describe components, process and measures results of principals appraisal, and 3) to analyse Performance Based required by principals; and 4) to generate hypothetical models of principal performance appraisals in junior high school level. In order to have principals with all standard criteria, efforts to improve principal professional capacities are needed to conduct in a well-planned manner through continuous quality improvement. These improvements are mapped out intermittently so that principals profiles based on measures results of Principals Performance Appraisal can be put into actual. Performance appraisal is designed to identify data on principals performance.

This chapter argues that schools shape communities as much as communities shape schools. It is part of an ethnographic case study of a state religious junior high school, the Levy Girls' Religious School, in Israel. The study is based on three years of qualitative research at the school, from 1999 to 2002, during a period in which it was undergoing an experiment in social and ethnic transformation. The research as a whole includes dozens of interviews with students, staff, parents, and other interested parties, as well as observations of all aspects of school life, including classes, meetings, field trips, assemblies, and countless daily interactions in corridors, courtyards, and corners of the school. This chapter focuses on the school's principal, Dr Sylvia Cohen, and is based on ten open-ended interviews and dozens of observations during the course of the research.

This study aims to develop an assessment to measure science process skills on living things interaction and their environment. The research used research and development (R&D) that consist research and initial information collection, planning, initial product format development, small-scale trials, product revisions, initial trials, and final products. The trial subjects were expert subjects (assessment experts, material experts and linguists), and the subjects were students of state junior high school in Bengkulu City as product users. Data were analyzed descriptive qualitatively and quantitatively. Feasibility assessment by three validator experts developed on the assessment aspect of 89%, material aspect of 93%, and language aspect of 93%, overall was declared very feasible with an average of 92%. This showed that the assessment of science process skills to measure science process skills was stated to be very suitable to be used to measure the level of students' science process skills. This assessment was the science assessment, where in the development of the science assessment used formative assessment because this assessment was given to every lesson and can be carried out on sub-subjects or each subject. In the development of this formative assessment, multiple choice tests were developed.

Abstrak: Salah satu tujuan pembelajaran IPA di SMP/Mts adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan, konsep, dan keterampilan IPA. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penguasaan konsep dan miskonsepsi biologi pada siswa SMP Se-Kota Sumbawa Besar. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif. Populasi dalam penelitian ini yaitu seluruh siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri Se-Kota Sumbawa Besar tahun ajaran 2013/2014. Sampel penelitian dipilih berdasarkan lokasi sekolah yaitu SMP pusat kota, SMP di pinggiran kota, dan SMP di luar yang ditentukan dengan teknik Cluster Random Sampling. Instrumen penelitian berupa pengembangan tes pilihan ganda dengan teknik modifikasi Certainty of Response Index. Hasil penelitian yaitu (1) penguasaan konsep biologi pada siswa SMP di pusat kota tergolong tinggi, penguasaan konsep biologi pada siswa SMP di pinggiran kota tergolong sedang, dan penguasaan konsep biologi pada siswa SMP di luar kota tergolong rendah;(2) miskonsepsi yang terjadi pada siswa SMP di pusat Kota, SMP di pinggiran kota, dan SMP di luar kota termasuk dalam kategori sedang; (3) miskonsepsi materi ciri-ciri makhluk hidup tergolong tinggi,, miskonsepsi materi keanekaragaman makhluk hidup tergolong sedang dan miskonsepsi materi tingkat organisasi kehidupan tergolong sedang; (4) retensi penguasaan konsep selama dua minggu pada SMP di pusat kota meningkat sebesar 5,70%, retensi penguasaan konsep siswa pada SMP di pinggiran kota meningkat sebesar 11,69%, dan retensi penguasaan konsep siswa pada SMP di luar kota  meningkat sebesar 5,75%. Perbedaan tingkat penguasaan konsep biologi dari ketiga kelompok sampel kemungkinan disebabkan karena perbedaan minat belajar siswa. Salah satu penyebab terjadinya miskonsepsi biologi pada siswa SMP se-kota Sumbawa Besar adalah kurangnya kemampuan dalam mengolah informasi dan rendahnya tingkat penalaran. Miskonsepsi pada materi ciri-ciri mahluk hidup tergolong tinggi disebabkan siswa hanya mampu menyebutkan dan memberi contoh, tanpa mampu menjelaskan konsep ciri-ciri makhluk hidup. Perbedaan retensi penguasaan konsep siswa pada ketiga kelompok sampel dapat dipengaruhi oleh faktor kelupaan pada siswa. Retensi dapat ditingkatkan dengan penggunaan strategi pembelajaran aktif dan pembelajaran bermakna.Kata kunci: penguasaan konsep, miskonsepsi, teknik modifikasi CRIAbstract: One of the objectives science in secondary school is to improve the student’s knowledge, attainment concept, and process skills science. This descriptive research is aimed to analyze the understanding concept and misconception of Biology in the Junior high school’s students at Sumbawa Besar City. The kind of this research is descriptive. The population consist of 1197 students of eight grade in six Junior High School at Sumbawa Besar City in academic year of 2013/2014. The sample of this research was selected based on school location consist of junior high school in central town, suburban, and rural area of Sumbawa Besar City which were determined by Cluster Random Sampling. The research’s instrument is developing multiple-choice test with modification technique of CRI. The results of this research shows : (1) understanding concepts of biology in junior high schools’ students in central town is classified as high, while that students in suburban is classified as moderate, and students in rural area of Sumbawa Besar City is classified as low; (2) misconceptions that occur in material  about characteristic of living thing, diversity of living thing, and levels of live organization at junior high schools’ students in central town, suburban and rural area of Sumbawa Besar City are classified as moderate; (3) misconceptions occur in characteristic of living things material classified as high, misconceptions occur in of living things materials and levels of life organization  are classified as moderate; (4) retentions of  understanding concept during two weeks of the junior high school’s student in central town is increase by 5.50 % ,while that of student in suburban is increase by 11.38 % , and student in rural area of Sumbawa Besar City is increase by 5.55 % . Difference in the level of attainment concepts of the three sample groups is probably due to difference interest in learning of student. One of the causes of biological misconceptions on junior high school students at Sumbawa Besar city  is the lack of ability to process information and low level of reasoning. Misconceptions on the material characteristics of living thing is high because students were only able to mention and give examples, without being able to explain the concept of the characteristics of living thing. Differences in students' attainment concepts retention in l three groups of samples can be affected by factors on student forgetfulness. Retention can be enhanced with the use of active learning strategies and meaningful learning.Keywords : understanding concepts, misconceptions, technique of modified CRI
