Diklat Kepemimpinan Pola Baru Dalam Perspektif Inovasi dan Pembelajaran Konstruktivistik

Abstract

The State Administration Body (Lembaga Administrasi Negara/LAN) enacted the new model of leadership education and training by year 2013 for replacing the old model which was assessed as ineffective. This model applied the contstructivistic paradigm that emphasizes on student centered and experience based learning approaches. Some problems were identified with respect to those matters are as follows: (1) What are the differences of the new and the old model?; (2) What is the strategic meaning of the new model leadership education and training?; (3) What are the obstacles of its implementation?. This study was a library research which used the secondary data and analysis was performed by comparing the new and the old model of leadership education and training. The result of study indicates three aspects of learning process as the following: (1) The new model applied “proyek perubahan” as an instrument for generating an ‘experience” which could formalize the student competence of leadership; (2) The new model of leadership and training creates the outcome oriented leader within the well reformed bureaucracy; (3) The main obstacle of its implementation are its complexity and incompatibility with the low level of competence of the trainer (widyaiswara) in performing this new model. Based on those conclusion, it could be recommended to the State Administration Body to perform a training of trainer for enhancing their capabilities and capacity.
