Evaluating the Accreditation Results of Christian Colleges in Indonesia Using the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) Model

Abstract

Accreditation is an external quality assurance system authorized institutions use to provide formal recognition. Christian colleges in Indonesia, which have been around for decades, should be able to have excellent accreditation. There are still very few Christian colleges that are accredited with excellence while very many Christian colleges are well-accredited. The purpose of this study is to identify the conformity of the Good Accredited Christian College (GACC) target with the results of the accreditation assessment, analyze the recommendations given by the evaluators in the results of the accreditation assessment, and produce GACC strategies in improving the quality of education to have competitiveness. Mixed-method with qualitative and quantitative approaches were used in this study. The evaluation with model Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) is used as design research. The evaluation results show that GACC can improve accreditation quality and status by considering the accreditation assessment matrix requirements as a different strategy. GACC must strive to meet the standard of excellence in each component of the accreditation instrument to be able to compete nationally and internationally.
