Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: A strategic plan is essential for an organization to achieve two critical objectives: making decisions about goals and committing to those decisions.In educational organizations, a strategic plan is a document that outlines long-term goals, vision, mission, objectives, programs, and strategic steps.The process of creating this plan is crucial for guiding the direction and objectives of an educational organization over a specific period.However, the reality is that many educational organizations still lack a strategic plan.This research utilizes the Borg and Gall Research and Development (R&D) model, which includes ten steps: ( 1 ) identifying potential and problems; (2) collecting data; (3) designing the product; (4) validating the design; (5) revising the design; (6) conducting small group trials; (7) making revisions; (8) conducting large group trials; (9) revising again; and (10) disseminating the final product.Based on an analysis of various theories, regulations, and real-world needs of educational organizations in the context of Indonesia's independent learning policy, a strategic planning model named "KLIK" was developed.The acronym "KLIK" stands for Commitment, Literacy, Implementation, and Communication.The feasibility of the "KLIK" model, as evaluated by five expert validators using the V Iken method, scored 96%, categorizing it as "very feasible."The effectiveness of the "KLIK" model was also tested in several educational organizations using the Paired Sample t-test, analyzed with the SPSS application.The results showed a significance value of 0.002 at a 5% error rate, indicating that the model is highly effective.
