Perception and Public Participation: The Level of Implementing Independent Learning Program in Indonesia

Abstract

Overall educational quality is significantly influenced by the potential of the result of the educational process to provide a constructive contribution to the global community. Concerns about the current political atmosphere are regularly raised in the context of any curriculum creation process, and this is no exception. Specifically, the purpose of this article is to determine the level of perception and engagement of the user community in relation to the Independent Learning Program. Using the quantitative method of a cross-sectional survey, the investigators conducted their inquiry. A more complete picture of a problem under examination is produced by this procedure. The study's participant pool includes parents, students, user partners, and professors, among others. A total of 593 responses were submitted in response to the surveys, which were circulated both locally and internationally. Two hundred and forty-nine student responses were received, 117 from academics, 109 from other stakeholders, and 128 responses were received from their families. The results of this study provide information on the level of perception and involvement in each user community under consideration. According to the findings of this study, the public's impression of users is at a moderate level of sophistication. At the level of participation of the user community, which was at a modest level, the same thing occurred. This study's findings should, it is hoped, paint an accurate portrait of the way the ILP program is seen by the general public.
