Summary: | The 'Quality of Education in
Madrasah' (QEM) study aimed to provide high quality
research into various dimensions of quality of education in
Indonesian Madrasahs. The study focused on final year
students in Islamic Junior Secondary Schools (Madrasah
Tsanawiyah, MT). One hundred and fifty MTs were sampled from
across Indonesia, with equal numbers selected from Java and
the East and West of the country. Systematically selected
intact classes were sampled within schools, involving a
total of 6,233 students. Eight instruments were developed
for use in the study. Four were achievement tests designed
to assess performance in Mathematics, Science, Indonesian
and English. Australian Council for Educational
Research's (ACER's) School Life Questionnaire
(SLQ) was used as an affective measure of school quality.
ACER developed an instrument to assess student background
characteristics, and a Principal Interview Schedule and a
School Inventory were also developed by ACER to collect
information on MTs. Mean scores showed that students in Java
performed better than students in the East and West regions
on each of the four achievement tests, with students in the
West performing marginally better than students in the East
on all tests. The largest correlations between student
background factors and achievement across the three regions
were observed for number of home resources and study
materials available to students. |
