Leadership Dynamics in Educational Evaluation: Insights from the CIPP Model

Abstract

This study explores leadership dynamics in educational evaluation using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) Model. Through a qualitative approach, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with principals and teachers from various schools in Indonesia. The findings show that effective leadership plays an important role in the successful implementation of education evaluation. Collaborative and participatory leadership was shown to increase teacher engagement and the relevance of the evaluation program. In addition, full support from leaders in aspects of evaluation inputs and processes, such as the provision of resources and training, contributes to improved educational outcomes. The study also identified key challenges faced, including resistance to change and limited resources. The practical implications of this study point to the need for increased leadership capacity and strategies to deal with challenges in implementing education evaluation. The article provides valuable insights for education policy makers and practitioners in developing more effective policies and practices in the context of education evaluation.
