Strategic Monitoring and Evaluation Practices in Local Government Performance Accountability Systems

2026-07-21T14:01:28+07:00

Purpose: This study examines how monitoring and evaluation practices function within the strategic management cycle of a public organization at the local government level, using the Belitang area of East Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, Indonesia, as the empirical setting. The paper investigates how monitoring and evaluation are implemented, what constraints limit their effectiveness, and how performance accountability can be strengthened.
Research Methodology: A qualitative case study design was used, drawing on document analysis of regional planning and performance reports, semi-structured interviews with regional apparatus officials, and thematic analysis guided by an evidencebased performance management framework.
Results: The findings show that monitoring and evaluation in the study area remain largely administrative rather than substantive. Four interrelated constraints were identified: limited human resource capacity for analysis, fragmented information systems, a weak organizational evaluation culture, and insufficient follow-up on evaluation findings.
Conclusions: Monitoring and evaluation are essential components of strategic management in public organizations, yet their contribution to performance improvement depends on integration with planning, information systems, and organizational learning routines rather than compliance reporting alone.
Limitations: The single-site qualitative design limits statistical generalizability, and reliance on retrospective interview accounts introduces potential recall bias.
Contributions: The study extends performance management literature by illustrating how national accountability frameworks translate into practice at the sub-district level and offers a practical model for strengthening evaluation utilization in resource-constrained local governments.

Academic Supervision and Coaching of a Junior Secondary Science Teacher: A Case Study

2026-07-27T13:29:32+07:00

Purpose: This study documents the implementation of academic supervision and post-observation coaching with a Science teacher at a Junior Secondary School (Madrasah Tsanawiyah) in Lampung, Indonesia, examining lesson-plan quality, instructional practice, and assessment implementation as the basis for professional feedback.
Research Methodology: A descriptive case-study design was used, combining document analysis of the lesson plan, classroom observation using three structured supervision instruments, and a post-observation coaching session following the GROW model. Each instrument scored multiple indicators on a four-point scale, converted to a percentage-based final result.
Results: The lesson-plan instrument yielded 79 out of 96 (82.29%), classified as Good. The lesson-implementation instrument yielded 81 out of 96 (84.38%), also Good. The assessment-implementation instrument yielded 80 out of 96 (83.33%), likewise Good. Coaching interviews indicated that limited textbook availability, rather than instructional skill, was the primary constraint on lesson delivery, and that practicum activities generated strong student engagement despite this constraint.
Conclusions: The teacher demonstrated consistently good performance across planning, delivery, and assessment domains, with resource limitation rather than pedagogical weakness identified as the principal barrier.
Limitations: The study is based on a single teacher and one supervision cycle, limiting generalizability, and relies on supervisor-administered instruments rather than triangulated multi-rater data.
Contributions: The study offers a replicable protocol combining structured observation with GROW-model coaching for supervision practicums, providing benchmark scores for similar academic supervision training in Indonesian teacher education.
