KAIMANA – Human resource quality has emerged as the most critical factor in
improving learning quality in senior high schools and vocational schools in
Kaimana Regency, Papua Barat. A study conducted by Sahri, Triyadi, and Yunus
found that educational management strategies—including learning planning,
school management, technology utilization, and performance evaluation—have a
significant impact on both human resource quality and learning quality. The
findings were published in the International Journal of Business and
Applied Economics (IJBAE), Volume 5, Issue 3, in 2026.
The study is particularly important because improving educational quality in
Indonesia’s disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions remains a major
challenge. Despite ongoing investments in educational infrastructure and
government programs, disparities in learning outcomes continue to exist. The
research highlights that sustainable educational improvement requires not only
physical resources but also stronger human resource capacity among teachers and
school administrators.
The research was conducted in senior high schools and vocational schools
across Kaimana Regency using a quantitative approach. The researchers analyzed
the relationships among learning planning, school management, technology
implementation, performance evaluation, human resource quality, and government
policies in shaping learning quality.
The findings revealed that performance evaluation is the most influential
factor in improving human resource quality. Technology implementation and
government policy support also contribute significantly to learning quality.
Human resource quality was found to serve as the primary link between
educational management strategies and improved learning outcomes.
Key Findings
- · Learning planning, school management, technology implementation, and performance evaluation positively influence human resource quality.
- · These factors also contribute significantly to improving learning quality.
- · Performance evaluation is the most dominant factor in enhancing human resource quality.
- · Human resource quality acts as the primary mediator between educational management strategies and learning quality.
- · The free education policy strengthens the relationship between management strategies and learning quality, although its implementation remains less than optimal.
- · The research model explains 94.1 percent of the variation in learning quality, indicating very strong predictive power.
The study demonstrates that learning quality in 3T regions is shaped by a
combination of interconnected factors. Effective learning planning, strong
school governance, appropriate technology utilization, and continuous
performance evaluation work together to improve teacher competencies and
student learning outcomes.
According to Sahri, Triyadi, and Yunus, human resource quality is the most
important element in educational transformation. Educational programs and
policies are likely to produce greater results when accompanied by continuous
professional development for teachers and educational staff.
The research also emphasizes that educational technology can improve
learning quality when it is integrated effectively into teaching practices.
Therefore, training and mentoring programs for teachers are essential to ensure
that technology is not merely available but is actively used to support
classroom learning.
For local governments and education policymakers, the findings suggest that
efforts to improve educational quality in remote regions should focus on
strengthening human resource capacity. Continuous professional development
programs, effective performance evaluation systems, and policies tailored to
local needs can serve as key strategies for enhancing educational outcomes.
The researchers recommend future studies using longitudinal and mixed-method
approaches to gain a deeper understanding of the factors influencing learning
quality over time. Additional variables such as school organizational culture,
transformational leadership, and students’ socioeconomic conditions should also
be considered to develop a more comprehensive educational management model.
