Stakeholders’ Perception About Zoning System of New Students Enrollment Programme (Ppdb) at Sma Negeri 2 Sukoharjo in the Academic Year 2018/2019

Abstract

The zoning system of new students enrollment programme (PPDB) that has been running since the academic year 2017/2018 is still causing controversy among the public. Especially for prospective students and parents, thus giving rise to a variety of perspectives that are quite significant in the realm of education. This study aims to determine the perceptions of stakeholders in the PPDB zoning system at SMA Negeri 2 Sukoharjo. This study uses qualitative methods with a case study approach. The source of primary data is obtained directly from the informant, while for secondary data sources obtained from scientific books, scientific journals and some documents obtained from informants. Purposive sampling is used as a way to obtain information. The validity of the data was obtained using source triangulation. The theory used is the structuration theory of Anthony Giddens. In this theory, Giddens mentions the word ‘individual’ with the term human agent. Society is not an objective reality that simply exists, but is formed by the actions of members. The act of forming a society is clearly a skilled appearance. Giddens explained the community with the concept of agents and structure. The results showed that the zoning system applied in the PPDB system in SMA Negeri 2 Sukoharjo had a variety of diverse perceptions of significant stakeholders in the education realm of the State High School, including in SMA Negeri 2 Sukoharjo. In this study the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia became an agent. The Agency is the primary as well as the internal stakeholders of SMA Negeri 2 Sukoharjo, they are the Principal, Teachers, and School Committees (parents of new students) who actively take a part in the PPDB zoning system. Then those who become actors in this study are new students at SMA Negeri 2 Sukoharjo. This unpreparedness was caused by a lack of network and insufficient information to understand and accept the new system in the PPDB zoning system at SMA Negeri 2 Sukoharjo.

English Teacher Identity in The Context of Zoning Policy Implementation

“…Yet, obstacles of the implementation of this policy still emerged as stated by several parties, such as stakeholders and society (Adiputra, Karsidi, & Haryono, 2019;Bintoro, 2018). The preliminary interviews conducted for this study also revealed that teachers felt the changes of students' characteristics and class dynamics after the implementation of zoning policy in these recent years.…”

“…In addition, a study conducted by Nurailiyah (2019) entitled Policy Analysis of Zoning Systems Against Junior High School Student Behavior in Yogyakarta, showed that teachers complained about the behavior of students who were accepted based on the zonation pathways who did not have good learning motivation, lacked discipline, were busy in the classroom and come home from school prematurely (Nurlailiyah, 2019;Sumadi & Casmana, 2020). In addition, the problem that often occurs next is the zoning system which prioritizes the distance of prospective students from schools compared to the national exam scores resulting in the collapse of the motivation of new learners in learning and achieving (Adiputra, Karsidi, & Haryanto, 2019;Komarudin, Alkhudri, Ubedilah, Syaifudin, & Casmana, 2019).…”
