EVALUASI MANAJEMEN PENGELOLAAN LABORATORIUM BIOLOGI DI SMA

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the management of biology laboratory management at SMA Negeri 2 Kotaagung using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. Biology labs play an important role in science education, providing opportunities for students to apply theories learned in the classroom through hands-on practice. This research was conducted with a qualitative descriptive approach, involving interviews, observations, and document analysis to collect data from various sources, including principals, educators, and students. The results of the study show that in the context dimension, the laboratory has been designed in accordance with the curriculum and learning needs of students, supported by relevant school policies. In the input dimension, laboratory facilities and the qualifications of educators are generally adequate, although there are shortcomings in the educational background of laboratory personnel and the availability of modern equipment. In the process dimension, the planning and implementation of laboratory activities follow the standard operating procedures (SOPs) well, although there is a need for improvement in documentation and evaluation. In the product dimension, the laboratory has a positive impact on practicum skills, concept understanding, and student learning outcomes, which is reflected in user satisfaction with the facility. Although the overall management of the laboratory is quite good, the study identified several things that need to be improved, such as training for laboratory personnel and a more structured evaluation system. Recommendations for improvement are expected to improve the quality of laboratory management at SMA Negeri 2 Kotaagung, thereby supporting the achievement of more optimal educational goals.
