THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

This chapter present Office Management, Academic Planning and the role

of Academic Planning Division.

2.1 Management and Office Management

Acording to Montana and Charnov (2008: 11), management is working

with and through other people to accomplish the objectives of both the

organization and its members. This can be concluded that management means the

activity to arrange several divisions with the people within to reach some goals

determined for both team and management.

Rao (2000: 16), states that office management is the planning, organising,

and controlling of records by the administrators of an organisation. To any

business in any sector needs a planning process, and educational institute didnt

exception. Of course, that planning needs to be sensitive to sector academics and

needs, and in the case of educational institute there are two special features that

need to be accommodated. The first is the yearly rhythm of student intakes and

graduations, which naturally resonates with an annual planning cycle. The second

is the high level of dispersed expertise in educational institute, and the consequent

sense of management officer of educational institutional.

2.2 Academic Planning

Rowley and Sherman, 2004: 4 state that the academic plan defines the

curriculum and its potential impact on a variety of learning communities within

it. The definition explains about the details of task that should be done by the

officer of Academic Planning Division, to arrange curriculum and support other

additional ideas in educational institution.

2.3 The Role of Academic Planning

Academic planning in educational institutions is done by the management

office . the role of academic planning is preparing educational materials and

support facilities . educational materials prepared by Instructur while supporting

facilities prepared by the staff of the office. The following job descriptions staff

controlling, directing, motivating, co-ordinating and ensuring the

implementation to handles the process of academic.

2.3.2 Instructor
According Lattuca and Stark (2009: 6-9), the role of Academic

Planning can be defined by eight elements. Here are the elements of

academic plan :
1. Purposes
 This element contains of knowledges, skills and attitudes to that

should be learned. This element reflects to the goal of academic planning.

Academic planning has to plan and implement the way to manage the

students learning and the purpose of academic planning about knowledges,

skills and attitudes as a whole of education.

The purpose of academic planning should make the students clarify

their beliefs and values of commitment to make education as their

guidance of life.
2. Content
This element has subject for learning and further role in both

students and instructors to adjust encouragement of intellectual

development or effective thinking.

3. Sequence
This element has arrangement of curriculum and sequence of

curriculum. It can be defined as the way in which the subject matter is

used to facilitate learning as one of academic plans role. This element

focuses for the instructors in order to make appropriate of teaching.

4. Learners
This point focuses on capability and characteristic of the students.

It informs about knowledge of ability, preparation and goal for the

learners. Academic planning should provide the curriculum that relate to

the students. The motivation of learning for the students influenced by

their interest in topic that they learn and judge the relevance of the topic.
5. Intructional Processes
This element is about activities of learning, and processes is

separatedly discussed with curriculum but it influences the learning of the

student. The instructors generally have own strategies in teaching based on

their knowledge about learning.

6. Instructional Resources
This point relates to materials and settings. Educational programs

are frequently structured by textbooks, classrooms, laboratories, course

managements and practicum sites. Those important resources may not be

fully recognized, but should be consider as a part of academic planning.

7. Evaluation
To evaluate plan and result, evaluation has become increasingly

important for education recently. Lattuca and Stark, 2009: 11, described

that effective assessment is viewed as critical because educators must

understand how well students have made sense of what they encounter in

courses or programs. .
This terminology of evaluation considers to suitable of all element

of plans. Evaluation can be planned when goals and objectives of the

program have been clarified and designed.

8. Adjustment
This element talk about plans improvement developments and

efforts change of planning academic is about appropriate evaluation plans

to develop plans and processes of plans. When the plan is revised, specific

elements are needed to identify which part in academic planning that

should be improved.
