MODEL EVALUASI PROGRAM TUTORIAL TATAP MUKA UNIVERSITAS TERBUKA

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model evaluasi program tutorial tatap muka. Mo-del evaluasi yang dikembangkan dalam penelitian ini menekankan pada evaluasi: perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan hasil program tutorial sehingga model ini disebut model evaluasi P2HT. Model evaluasi P2HT dikembangkan melalui delapan tahap: (1) kajian awal, (2) pengembangan disain, (3) pengembangan model prototype, (4) uji coba terbatas, (5) revisi, (6) uji coba diperluas, (7) model akhir, dan (8) diseminasi. Model prototype diuji coba di UPBJJ-UT Yogyakarta dalam tiga tahap yaitu uji coba tahap 1, 2, dan 3. Validitas model dan perangkat model ditetapkan melalui uji keter-bacaan, validasi isi dan validasi konstruk. Uji keterbacaan dilakukan oleh 15 ahli, 12 praktisi pendi-dikan jarak jauh, dan 55 mahasiswa. Validitas isi dibuktikan dengan mendiskusikan model dan perangkat model dengan para ahli melalui diskusi secara langsung dengan ahli, pendapat ahli melalui email, dan dikusi melalui forum FGD. Validasi konstruk dibuktikan dengan menggunakan Confirmatory Factor Analysis dan Exploratory Factor Analysis. Estimasi reliabilitas dilakukan dengan formula Alpha per dimensi. Path analysis digunakan untuk menguji hubungan kausal antar variabel yang ada dalam model evaluasi P2HT. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: (1) model evaluasi P2HT merupakan model yang komprehensif, tepat, praktis, mudah digunakan dan mempunyai tingkat keterbacaan yang tinggi, (2) semua instrumen yang dihasilkan memenuhi persyaratan validitas dan reliabilitas, (3) pengelolaan program, kemandirian mahasiswa dalam belajar, tempat/fasilitas, proses tutorial, dan kepuasan mahasiswa berpengaruh terhadap hasil belajar. Dari kelima variabel tersebut, proses tutorial memberikan pengaruh terbesar terhadap hasil belajar mahasiswa dengan total pengaruh sebesar 58%. Kata kunci: model evaluasi, tutorial tatap muka, instrumen, validitas dan reliabilitas. ______________________________________________________________ AN EVALUATION MODEL OF FACE-TO-FACE TUTORIAL PROGRAM OF THE OPEN UNIVERSITY Abstract This study aims at developing an evaluation model of the face-to-face tutorial program implemented by the Open University. The model of evaluation developed in this research focuses on evaluation of: planning, processing, and results, so the model is called the P2HT evaluation model. The P2HT evaluation model is developed on eight steps: (1) preliminary research, (2) designing model, (3) developing prototype model, (4) trying-out with limited number of samples, (5) revising, (6) trying-out with larger samples, (7) constructing final model, and (8) disseminating. The prototype model was tried-out at Yogyakarta Open University Regional Center in three stages. The readability was tested to 15 experts, 12 practitioners, and 55 students. The content validity was measured by a series of discussion forum involving evaluation experts and distance education experts, in the form of face-to-face meetings, FGDs, as well as emails. The construct validity was analyzed by using Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Exploratory Factor Analysis, while the reliability was analyzed for each dimension employing the Alpha analysis per dimention. The path analysis was used to analyze the causality relationship among variables in the P2HT evaluation model especially in stage 3 try-out. The results of the study indicate that: (1) the P2HT evaluation model is comprehensive, valid, practical, easy to use, and has a high level of readability, (2) all instruments are valid and reliable, (3) the management of program, self-directed learning, place and facilities of tutorial, tutorial process, and students’ satisfaction have an effect on the students’ achievement. Among the five variables, the process of tutorial has given the greatest effect 58%. Keywords: evaluation model, face-to-face tutorial, instrument, validity and reliability
