EVALUATION OF WIDYAISWARA PERFORMANCE REVIEWED FROM THE FUNCTIONAL POSITION POLICY AND WORKLOAD AT BBPPMPV BMTI CIMAHI

Abstract

The Center for Quality Assurance Development for Vocational Education in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (BBPPMPV BMTI) is a government institution responsible for conducting training. BBPPMPV BMTI operates as a Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) under the Directorate General of Vocational Education, Ministry of Education and Culture, as stipulated in Regulation No. 26 of 2020 on the Organization and Work Procedures of the Ministry's Technical Units. According to a letter from the Head of LAN (No. 3672/K.1/JFT.01.1, dated 23 June 2022), the classification of widyaiswara positions was set into four categories: Principal 14, Intermediate 12, Junior 10, and Entry 8. This research aims to explore and assess the application of policies related to functional positions, workload distribution, and the performance of widyaiswara at BBPMPV BMTI Cimahi. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the data was collected from interviews, field notes, photographs, and documents. The research subjects included widyaiswara across different programs and heads of centers at BBPMPV BMTI Cimahi. The findings indicated that, over a three-year period, the heaviest workload was borne by junior widyaiswara (8782 instructional hours), while senior widyaiswara had no workload, as their responsibilities were reduced based on current regulations. Despite these disparities, all widyaiswara fulfilled their SKP (performance targets) at each level. It is recommended that workload distribution be reassessed to prevent significant gaps between the levels of widyaiswara.
