Early Childhood Education Management Workshop to Improve the Quality of Pos PAUD Service

Abstract

The education practice cannot be separated from education administration. At the level of early childhood education organized by mothers of Posyandu cadres who are in rural areas commonly called Pos PAUD there are still many weaknesses in carrying out the right education administration. The results of the observations found several things that were obstacles to the development of the institution, among others: lack of support from the village government, teacher qualifications that were on average junior or high school graduates, teacher competencies that were not relevant to educational qualifications. The aim of this study was to know the effectiveness of the workshop on improving the quality of the pos PAUD institution. The research subjects were Pos PAUD cadres, amounting to 21 people. The results showed an increase in understanding of Pos PAUD management, which amounted to 81.64%, an increase of 24.3% from 57.4% of the previous pretest results. Likewise, the results of the statistical test using SPSS, this workshop activity had a significant influence in increasing the understanding of Pos PAUD cadres. The conclusion is that PAUD management workshops can improve the understanding and skills of the postal administration.
