1 INTRODUCTION

Special Sports Class (SSC) is a class which aims

especially at developing talents and interest in

accordance with the sports branches the students are

interested in. In general, this class accommodates

the students who have special talents, particularly in

sport. SSC students always practice and conduct

training programs in the sport they are interested in,

for instance the students who specialize in football

will prioritize that branch of sports, so do those

interested in other branches of sport.

Sumaryanto (2010:5) explains that a special

sports class is a special class which has students

with a special talent in sport. The students get

special services in improving their special talents,

and therefore the students of special sports classes

are accelerated in terms of their sports achievement

in accordance with the talent and the sport they are

interested in.

The policy on the implementation of special

sports classes is in line with the Law of the Republic

of Indonesia Number 3 Year 2005 on National

Sports System Article 26, Paragraph 6 that reads:

“In order to improve sports achievement in

educational institutions, at all levels of education

there can be sports activity units, sports classes,

development and training centers, sports schools, as

well as sports competitions of different levels held

sustainably.” The legal basis containing the

implementation of special sports school is

strengthened by the Decree of the Ministry of

National Education No. 34 Year 2006 on the

establishment of the achievement of the students

who have special academic potential and/or

interests. Based on that policy, the students who

have potential in sports are given the opportunity to

develop their sports talent in schools through the

special sports class programs, by keeping up with

the teaching objectives in school and by keeping up

with the priority in school academic activities.

One of the schools which are assigned to

manage this program in Sleman Regency is SMP N

2 Tempel. It is based on the fact that this school has

potentials in the achievement in sports from year to

year, starting from the regency level up to the

national level.

The management stages of special sports classes

implies the importance of the evaluation that has to

be conducted periodically, starting from athlete

scouting up to the last stage of program

implementation and the students’ sports

achievement. An evaluation is very important to

conduct in order that there will be improvement in

special sports class management to be more

positive. The evaluation is conducted to reveal

whether a program is in line with its objective or

whether there is a change which is not as expected

by the program initiator. The aim of the program

evaluation is to search for recommendation. The

recommendation is obtained from the result of the

review of the data from the field (Suharsimi

Arikunto and Cepi Safrudin, 2004: 128). Special

sports classes will improve as a result of the

evaluation because the problems in the development

program will be revealed.

The development program is related to many

things, including government support, supports

from the students’ parents and society, finance,

athletes, facilities and infra-structure, coaches,

organizers, organization management, training

programs, reward for athletes, competitions,

application of science and technology, and supports

from mass media. In order to know the description

of the evaluation result and the problems in special

sports classes, it is needed to maintain the context,

input, process, and product in the current

establishment program. A suitable and more

comprehensive model of evaluation in this research

is the context, input, process, and product (CIPP)

evaluation model.

The CIPP evaluation model is chosen because it

is the most suitable model to the evaluation

conducted and it will give a comprehensive result.

This is in line with what is stated by Stafflebeam in

Sugiyono (2013: 749) that the scope of a

comprehensive program evaluation in general

includes four stages, namely the evaluation of

context, input, process, and product. The four

aspects in the CIPP evaluation model help policy

makers answer four basic questions related to: 1)

what must be done, 2) how it is done, 3) whether the

development program is in accordance with the

plan, and 4) the comparison between the plan and

the result. Therefore, the evaluation model used in

this research is the CIPP evaluation model because

it is more comprehensive than other models.

2 RESEARCH METHOD

2.1 Research Type

This program evaluation research uses the CIPP

(Contex, Input, Proces, and Product) model

applying the qualitative approach. This evaluation

model was developed by Stuflebeam, which aims

at helping evaluators in evaluating programs,

projects, and institutions. According to Stuflebeam

in Endang Mulyatiningsih (2012: 125) evaluation is

a process of describing, discovering, providing

descriptive information, considering values, and

uses of some planned objectives implemented,

whose effects are used for guiding a decision,

evaluating accountability, and understanding

phenomena.

This research which uses the CIPP model is used

to collect accurate and objective information and to

compare what has been achieved in the

development program of sports special class at

junior high school in Sleman, Yogyakarta with what

should have been achieved based on the standard.

2.2 Research Time and Place

This research was conducted at the Office of

Education, Youth, and Sport Sleman and SMP N 2

Tempel. It was conducted in three stages:

preparation, data collection, and data checking

stages. The preparation stage is the initial stage for

fixing the research problems and determining the

research subjects. The research preparation was

conducted from January to February 2019. The data

collection was conducted from March to May

2019, while the data checking was conducted from

June to July 2019.

2.3 Research Target/Subject

One of the junior high schools, which runs the

special sports class registered at the Office of

Education, Youth, and Sport Sleman, is SMP N 2

Tempel, Sleman.

According to Suharsimi Arikunto (2006:145) the

research subject is the subject which will be studied.

The subject of this research is State Junior High

School (SMPN) 2 Tempel. Moreover, Suharsimi

Arikunto (2006: 145) writes that research

respondents are anyone who is asked to give

information about facts or opinions. In this research,

the respondents are school managements, coaches,

and the athletes in each special sports class at State

Junior High School 2 Tempel. The instrument used

for collecting qualitative data is based on the aspects

YISHPESS and CoIS 2019 - The 3rd Yogyakarta International Seminar on Health, Physical Education, and Sport Science (YISHPESS

2019) in conjunction with The 2nd Conference on Interdisciplinary Approach in Sports (CoIS 2019)

of context, input, process and product or known as

the CIPP model. The definitions of variables and

indicators which are the focus of this research are as

follows. 1) Context component: the evaluation of

the background of the program, the goal of the

program viewed from the local government,

community, and athlete parents; 2) Input

component: the evaluation of the athletes, coaches,

facilities and infrastructure; 3) Process component:

the evaluation of the process of organization

management, training programs, rewards for

athletes, competitions, uses of science and

technology, and mass media supports; 4) Product

component: the evaluation of the program that has

been done by looking at the achievement.

According to Suharsimi Arikunto (2010: 100)

the data collection method is the method that can be

used by researchers for collecting data. It is the way

referring to abstract things, which cannot be realized

in visible things, but its use can be demonstrated. In

this research, the primary data were collected

through observation and in-depth interviews, while

the secondary data were collected through

documentation. In order for the data to be valid and

scientifically reliable, the data were measured for

their validity. The validity measurement in

qualitative research is through credibility (internal

validity), transferability (external validity),

dependability (reliability), and confirmability

(objectivity).

The qualitative analysis was conducted during

the research process, that is, during the observation,

interviews, and documentation. The qualitative data

analysis in the field used the descriptive data

analysis (Miles dan Huberman, 1994: 10-11). The

data analysis consists of some interrelated

components, including data reduction, data display,

and conclusion drawing/ verification.

3 RESEARCH RESULT AND

DISCUSSION

3.1 The Analysis of the Context of the

Management of Special Sports

Classes (SSC) at State Junior High

School 2 Tempel

The management of athletes cannot be separated

from the supports from the government, parents, and

the community. The Law of National Sports System

Year 2005 Article 13, Paragraph 2 states that the

local government has the authority to regulate,

establish, develop, and control the sports

management in the local area. One of the

establishment efforts and supports of the

government is holding special sports classes for

sports achievement. Achievement sports is managed

through a process of establishment and development

which is well planned, graded, and sustainable

supported by sports science and technology, and for

this reason, in order to improve achievement sports,

the central government, local government, and/or the

community can improve: (1) sports clubs; (2) centres

for research and development of sports science and

technology; (3) centre for establishing achievement

sports; (4) education and training of sports

personnel; (5) facilities and infrastructures of

achievement sports; (6) system of sports talent

scouting and development; (7) sports information

system; and (8) try-out of athlete competence at the

local, national, and international levels in

accordance with the needs (Law of National Sports

System Year 2005 Article 20, Paragraphs 3-5).

The result of the context evaluation shows the forms

of the supports from the three elements as follows.

Government supports: The government plays a

very important role in the establishment of the

national sports achievement. According to the

researcher’s observation, the supports of the Office

of Education, Youth and Sports are through coach

training program, special sports class fund, and

provision of sports facilities and infrastructures.

Article 69 Paragraph 1 of the Law of National

Sports System Year 2005 mentions that the sports

funding is the responsibility of the central

government, local government, and the community.

More specifically, Article 2 mentions that the

central and local governments are obliged to

allocate the region’s earning and expenditure

budget. The government has played its role well and

therefore the funding of the special sports classes

has run well.

The supports of parents and community: The

supports of parents and community are very

important factors in sports development. A good

An Evaluation of Special Sports Classes at SMP N 2 Tempel

653

interaction between coaches and parents becomes

one of the factors, which support the

implementation of special sports classes. The

routine and periodical meeting of parents and school

personnel to inform the students’ improvement

becomes one of the evidences of good

communication between the school and parents.

Parents also give supports in the form of sports

supporting facilities such as sports shoes and

deckers to students individually, as well as moral

supports such as motivation, watching students

doing exercises, and providing transport to and from

out-of-school training venues.

The Banyurejo community: members show their

support by giving permission to the use of

Banyurejo football field for the teaching and

learning activities of special sports classes. No

community member has ever complained of the use

of the field. The community and school can

cooperate well in the use and management of the

field. The community and the students of special

sports classes of SMP N 2 Tempel can use the field

well.

3.2 The Input Analysis of the Input of

the Establishment of Special Sports

Classes at SMP N 2 Tempel

The input analysis in the CIPP research is used to

reveal the supports for the implementation of the

establishment process. The input functions as a

consideration in making programs in order to

achieve the expected goal. The following is the table

containing the result of the input analysis of the

establishment of special sports classes at SMP N 2

Tempel.

The input analysis consists of four aspects

described as follows.

Finance: Finance becomes the supporting factor

in the management of special sports classes because

special sports class programs cannot run optimally if

the financial management is hindered. In Article 69,

Paragraph 1 of the Law of National Sports System

Year 2005 it is mentioned that the sports funding is

the responsibility of the central government, local

government, and the community. More specifically,

Article 2 mentions that the central and local

governments are obliged to allocate the region’s

earning and expenditure budget.

Students: The students who have a special talent

for sports also have the right to get education like

other children do. For this reason, there needs to be

a form of educational institution which can

accommodate them and it does not neglect their

special talent. According to the Law of the Republic

of Indonesia No. 03 Year 2005 on National Sports

System, a sports class is a special class which is

provided in a school for accommodating the

students who have a special talent for sports.

Based on the conducted observation result, the

students in the special sports classes at SMP N 2

Tempel have talent for sports. This can be seen from

so many achievements reached by each student in

sports. To be a student of the special sports class at

SMP N 2 Tempel is not easy. The selection of the

special sports class students of SMP N 2 Tempel

begins earlier than that of the regular students. The

tests that the special sports class students have to

take consist of the medical test, fitness test, and

interview. Sports achievement awards give

additional scores in the selection of new students

enrolled in the special sports classes at SMP N 2

Tempel. The students who do not pass the selection

test can take the regular class selection test.

Facilities and Infrastructures: The availability

of sports facilities and infrastructure must be

considered by various related parties as the

stakeholders of the implementation of special sports

classes. This is due to the fact that interested parties

will get the benefit of the success of the

implementation of special sports classes. For this

reason, the provision of sports facilities and

infrastructure is also the responsibility of several

parties. This is in line with Law No. 3 Year 2005

Article 67 Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 which states:

The central government, local government, and

community are responsible for planning, providing,

utilizing, maintaining, and controlling sports

facilities and infrastructure.

The central government and local government

guarantee the availability of sports infrastructure

which is in line with the standard and needs of the

central government and local government. The

number and type of infrastructure which is built has

to consider the sports potential developing in the

local area. The infrastructure which is built is

obliged to conform to the number and minimum

standard stated by the central government.

Based on the conducted observation result, the

facilities and infrastructures that SMP N 2 Tempel

YISHPESS and CoIS 2019 - The 3rd Yogyakarta International Seminar on Health, Physical Education, and Sport Science (YISHPESS

2019) in conjunction with The 2nd Conference on Interdisciplinary Approach in Sports (CoIS 2019)

654

has are quite adequate. The size of the sports ground

meets the standard although the condition is not

standard because the ground is under the possession

of the village authority and it can be used

temporarily by borrowing. The football field is

shared with the villagers, so the students are not

fully free using the sports ground. The bad

condition of the grass makes it difficult for the

students to practice, and during the rainy season the

sports ground is wet and muddy so that it is difficult

to use for training.

As to the sports equipment, the special sports

classes at SMP N 2 Tempel have quite adequate

equipment. The equipment can support the training

activities of the students. Viewed from its condition,

the equipment is still feasible to use in the

implementation of the special sports classes of SMP

N 2 Tempel.

Coaches: In the special sports class program, the

teacher in each sports branch is called instructor or

coach who is assigned and responsible for giving

technical training to students. This is in line with the

regulation in Law No. 3 Year 2005 on National

Sports System Article 63, Paragraph 1 about sports

personnel, which states that sports personnel

consists of coaches, teachers/lecturers, umpires,

juries, managers, promotors, administrators, guides,



ounsellors, instructors, para medics, nutritionists,

biomechanics, psychologists, or other specially

related people participating in sports events.

Based on the result of this study, the teachers of

special sports classes at SMP N 2 Tempel are

coaches who have educational background in sports,

very good competence, and skill in sports as shown

by the coaching licence of each coach. They are ex-

athletes. Their academic qualification is mostly

bachelor in sports education. The coaches of special

sports classes are adjusted to the talent and interest

of each student, and they can be the teachers who

have coach licence in certain sports and who get

recommendation from the Head of the Office of

Education, and the Head of the Office of Youth and

Sports of Sleman Regency.

Organization management plays a very

important role in the process of building special

sports classes. A good organization management

will support a good process and achievement too.

On the contrary, a poor organization management

tends to make the process and achievement of

special sports class also poor.

Based on the findings in the field, the pattern of

the organization management is very good, with the

manager himself managing the needs of the special

sports classes, separable from other needs. The

management is determined by the Directorate of

Youth and Sports.

The management of special sports classes

arranges the financial needs, needs for equipment,

and schedule of routine training programs. The

organization management at SMP N 2 Tempel has

the management organization structure, special

sports class programs, coordination meeting of

planning, organizing and job distribution, and

evaluation of establishment programs. The

coordination meeting of planning is usually held

prior to the preparation of PORDA, PORPROV and

so forth.

In building achievement sports, special sports

classes must have a training program in order to

have a clear goal in establishing the special sports

classes. The availability of a training program will

facilitate the controlling of the trainings and

programs which are managed.

It was found out that the coaches arranged

training programs periodically. The implementation

of the training programs is adjusted to the needs of

the students and coaches. For example, when

An Evaluation of Special Sports Classes at SMP N 2 Tempel

655

approaching a competition event, the coach will

apply the training program which has been taught.

However, in routine practice, usually the coach

teaches extra techniques in the branch of sports

being taught.

In order to realize a good establishment, an

athlete has to be facilitated and appreciated. One of

the indicators of good establishment is appreciation

money to students and equipment facilities for

training. It was found out that the school gave

appreciation to students who have good

achievement in sports competition. The amount of

appreciation money is different from one another

depending on the level of the competition an athlete

has participated in. The higher the level of the

competition an athlete takes part in, the bigger the

appreciation money the school will give him/her.

The school also provides training facilities to

facilitate students practice in school.

Competition is one of the ways for measuring

and evaluating the success of the establishment

program in special sports classes. Through

competition, a special sports class will know its

improvement. In addition, the class will also be able

to compare its competence with other classes’. The

term ‘competition’ used in this research consists of

two types: internal competition and external

competition. The findings in the field show the

following information.

Internal competition is the competition occurring

in a special sports class. It is aimed at selecting

main athletes and reserved ones in the preparation

for external competition. The students compete for

becoming the athletes in the principal team. They

show their superiority over the others in order to be

selected by their coach. The coach has every right to

decide who is selected to be an athlete in the

principal and reserved teams, and those selected will

usually represent their school in external

competition.

External competition is the competition held

outside a special sports class or school in the form

of championship. The special sports class of SMP N

2 Tempel often participates in championships at the

regional and national levels. The championships

that it participates in include PORDA, PORPROV,

Gala Siswa, O2SN, and many others.

In this era, science and technology develops

very rapidly in all walks of life, including sports.

Therefore, ideally in order to support the process of

establishing and training in special sports classes,

science and technology must be put into account.

The function of applying science and technology in

sports is to understand the basic competence of

athletes, including their fitness level, agility, speed,

health, and also evaluate the improvement of their

competence, individually and in a team.

The result of the observation in the field shows

that the coach of the special sports class of SMP N 2

Tempel has not used science and technology

optimally. He uses only a mobile phone to show the

video in the Youtube about news or the techniques

in a certain branch of sports. He does not apply

science and technology holistically in the training

program that he has arranged.

Mass media plays a very important role in all

walks of life. The aims can be to promote,

document, and so on. In sports, mass media can

become the channel to promote special sports

classes and their achievement to the community at

large. Based on the data from the field, SMP N 2

Tempel has ever been covered by the daily

newspaper Kedaulatan Rakyat when it became the

champion of Special Sports Class Competition at

the provincial level.

1 Achievement ***

According to Law No. 3 Year 2005 on National

Sports System, Paragraph 20, achievement sports

are done by every individual who has talent, ability,

and potential to make sports achievement. The

achievement to reach in achievement sports is the

activity of winning competition in sports in a graded

manner.

The research findings show that the achievement

made by the special sports class of SMP N 2

Tempel is very good. This can be seen from so

many champions reached by the students in that

class, at the local, provincial, and national levels.

One of the prestigious achievements for SMP N 2

Tempel is the winner of chess championship among

special sports classes in Yogyakarta Special

Territory in 2018. This shows that the special sports

class of SMP N 2 Tempel is one of the best special

sports classes in Yogyakarta Special Territory.

4 CONCLUSIONS

Based on the result of the evaluation of the context,

input, process, and product of the establishment of

the special sports class of SMP N 2 Tempel, the

following conclusions can be drawn.

The context evaluation shows that the

establishment program of the special sports class of

SMP N Tempel is in a good category, due to the

supports from the government, in the form of both

the financial support and the facilities supporting

the development of the special sports class. Besides,

the community in the nearby area also support the

special sports class.

The evaluation of the input shows that the

implementation of the establishment of the special

sports class at SMP N 2 Tempel is in a fairly good

category, despite the not maximal efforts to get

financial supports from sponsors, and too few

futsal grounds which are internally standard.

The result of the process evaluation shows that

the implementation of the establishment program of

the special sports class of SMP N 2 Tempel runs

well due to the open management, rewards for

students, and well-graded students’ participation in

competition. However, a special attention should be

paid to the lack of use of science and technology in

training programs.

The result of product evaluation shows that the

establishment of special sports class of SMP N 2

Tempel is considered successful when the students

have good achievement in competition at the

district, provincial, and national levels. The

intensity of participation in a competition will give

the opportunity to make more achievement of every

sports club. The school achievement will be better if

the teaching is supported by the context, input and

product.
