Supporting Quality Management in Indonesia's Early Childhood Education through Accreditation Processes
Issues in Educational Research, v34 n3 p1129-1147 2024
This study investigated the role of accreditation in early childhood education quality management in Jakarta Province, Indonesia. We used purposive sampling to secure four participants, two school principals from two early childhood schools (Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini, referred to as "PAUD"), one assessor for early childhood education in Jakarta Province, and one member of Jakarta Province's accrediting body. Semi-structured interviews were the primary data collection method. In PAUD, the role of accreditation in improving school quality management encompasses teacher and staff empowerment through collaboration and a continuous growth plan among teachers, administrative staff, and principals. To attain quality use of technologies, each PAUD should develop a documentation system linked to cloud storage of data, that facilitates access and cooperative efforts concerning teaching resources. A school's self-evaluation is a way to be introspective in order to assure effective short-term and long-term plans for the school's quality management improvement.
