Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) of School Facilities and Infrastructure Management Model Based on Kaizen 5s Industrial Work Culture at State Vocational Schools in Bireuen Regency

Abstract

Introduction: Educational facilities and infrastructure are crucial components of the National Education Standards in Indonesia. The National Education System Law No. 20 of 2003, Article 45, mandates that all formal and non-formal educational institutions must provide facilities that support students' physical, intellectual, social, emotional, and psychological development.

Objective: This study aims to develop a Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)-oriented school facilities and infrastructure management model by integrating the 5S Kaizen industrial work culture in vocational schools (SMK Negeri) in Bireuen Regency. Additionally, it evaluates the model’s practicality and effectiveness in optimizing school facility management. 

Method: Adopting a Research & Development (R&D) methodology using Plomp’s model, the study followed five phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Participants included school principals, vice principals, heads of expertise programs, workshop heads, administrative heads, and productive teachers. Research instruments comprised a model book, an implementation guidebook, and a module guide, validated through expert assessments, implementation observations, response questionnaires, and competency tests. 

Results: The developed model demonstrated strong validity, with average validation scores of 4.57 (model), 4.62 (implementation guidebook), and 4.63 (module guide). Classical completeness was achieved, with positive participant response rates of 85.91% in trial I and 86.31% in trial II. N-Gain analysis indicated competency improvements of 61.75% and 62.21%, categorizing its effectiveness as moderate. 

Conclusion: The model fosters a structured, industry-based approach to SDGs-aligned school facility management, promoting continuous improvement in vocational education.  This study presents an innovative framework for integrating industrial methodologies, particularly 5S Kaizen, into educational infrastructure management, providing valuable insights for policymakers and school administrators in vocational education settings.
