Learning outcome
evaluation is a part of a student's learning process. One of the evaluations of
learning is done through the administration of school examinations. The purpose
of this study is to analyze the implementation of the National Standardized
School Examination (USBN) and the School Examination in elementary schools that
were employed in two different locations, Lawangan Daya II State Elementary
School and Al-Munawwarah Islamic Elementary School, and how their
implementation run in terms of the implementation method, the achievement of Graduate
Competency Standards (SKL) and the Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) regarding
the change of USBN to US in Elementary Schools in Pamekasan Regency, in order
to find a recommendation model for administering school examination in
elementary school level.
This research employed a qualitative approach with multi-case
study research. The research locations were Lawangan Daya II State Elementary School
and Al-Munawwarah Pamekasan Islamic Elementary School. The data were collected
through interviews, observation, and documentation. The collected data were
then analyzed in-depth with analysis in a single case through condensation,
data display, verification and drawing conclusions in each case then a
cross-case analysis is carried out to develop concepts and common ground
between the existing cases. The data were validated using credibility,
transferability, dependability, and confirmability test.
The results of the first study showed
that the implementation of the National Standard School Examination (USBN) for
elementary schools involved planning, implementation, and evaluation stages.
The planning stage required cautious preparations by the school stakeholders.
The implementation was also arranged similarly to a state examination . Even though the results of USBN is
only used by the government for school mapping purpose, in its practice it
seems like the results will determine the fate of the student's future. Schools
(principals, teachers, and stakeholders) evaluate the results of the USBN so
that the existence and quality assurance of the graduates is continuously
increasing.
The
results of the second study showed that the implementation of the School
Examination (US) also involved planning, implementation, and evaluation stages.
However, the planning only employed administrative preparation. The
implementation of US is similar to a daily test in the classroom. In addition,
the evaluation of US was carried out by the school teachers based on their
authority in determining the students’ score.
The
results of the third study showed that the achievement of Graduate Competency
Standards in the implementation of USBN included cognitive and psychomotor
aspects which are always monitored and strived to continue to improve
especially cognitive aspects. The attitude aspect cannot be achieved through
the implementation of USBN because it involves daily behavior.
The
results of the fourth study showed that the achievement of Graduate Competency
Standards through the School Examination (US) involved cognitive and psychomotor
aspects. The psychomotor aspect is only for a certain level because it is more
dominant in the cognitive aspect. The achievement of minimum standard of
competency in attitude aspect was carried out through attitude journals by
class teachers collaborating with certain subject teachers.
The results of the fifth study showed that
Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) regarding the change of USBN to US in
elementary schools is inline with the
problem identification stage, goal setting, development of alternative choices, and assessment of
various alternatives, the best policy to make is to juxtapose the national
examination with the local examination (School examination). However, to
fulfill the need for efficiency and the creation of school digitalization
culture, the implementation of evaluation or assessment should employ online
system. The result of national examination is used as school mapping and not
for determining students’ graduation. In addition, the examination should be
administered to students in fourth grade to minimize the test anxiety of
implementing standard evaluation or national evaluation in elementary schools.
