Model Hybrid Fuzzy-Weighted Product Evaluasi Kinerja Honorer

Lia Umbari Putri, Rolly Yesputra, Jeperson Hutahaean
Abstract: Evaluasi kinerja pegawai honorer di instansi publik seringkali bergantung pada penilaian linguistik yang subjektif, sehingga memicu bias penilai dan keterbatasan akuntabilitas. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, penelitian&#8230; n ini mengusulkan model hibrida Fuzzy-Weighted Product. Logika Fuzzy diterapkan untuk mentransformasikan istilah linguistik menjadi Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFN) dan skor tegas (crisp), sementara metode Weighted Product digunakan untuk mengagregasikan skor tersebut berdasarkan bobot multi-kriteria. Model ini dievaluasi melalui studi kasus yang melibatkan sepuluh pegawai honorer berdasarkan lima kriteria: disiplin, tanggung jawab, kualitas kerja, kerja sama, dan inisiatif. Hasil eksperimen menunjukkan bahwa model hibrida ini berhasil meminimalkan subjektivitas penilai dan menghasilkan perengkingan yang dapat direproduksi secara matematis. Analisis sensitivitas mengonfirmasi stabilitas hasil peringkat akhir, sehingga model Hibrida Fuzzy Weighted Product yang diusulkan ini sangat sesuai untuk digunakan sebagai kerangka kerja utama dalam sistem pendukung keputusan untuk penilaian kinerja di sektor publik.   Performance evaluation of honorary employees in public institutions often relies on subjective linguistic assessments, leading to evaluator bias and limited accountability. To address this, this paper proposes a Hybrid Fuzzy-Weighted Product (Fuzzy-Weighted Product) model. Fuzzy Logic is adopted to transform linguistic terms into Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFN) and crisp scores, while the Weighted Product method aggregates these scores based on multi-criteria weights. The model was evaluated using a case study of ten honorary employees across five criteria: discipline, responsibility, work quality, cooperation, and initiative. The experimental results demonstrate that the hybrid model successfully minimizes evaluator subjectivity and delivers mathematically reproducible rankings. A sensitivity analysis confirms the stability of the final rankings, making the proposed Hybrid Fuzzy–Weighted Product model highly suitable as a core framework for decision-support systems in public sector performance appraisal.

Transformasi Kompetensi Guru PAI Dalam Era Kurikulum Merdeka Ke Kurikulum KBC

Amelia, Jasiah
Abstract: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis transformasi kompetensi guru Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) dalam era Kurikulum Merdeka menuju Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta (KBC). Perubahan paradigma pendidikan menuntut guru tidak&#8230; hanya memiliki kompetensi pedagogik dan profesional, tetapi juga mampu mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai karakter, empati, dan kasih sayang dalam proses pembelajaran. Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta (KBC) hadir sebagai pendekatan yang menekankan dimensi afektif dan humanistik dalam pendidikan, yang diperkenalkan dalam berbagai sosialisasi kebijakan pendidikan keagamaan di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis kajian pustaka (library research). Data diperoleh dari buku, jurnal ilmiah, dan dokumen kebijakan yang relevan, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis isi (content analysis). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa transformasi kompetensi guru PAI mencakup penguatan kompetensi pedagogik berbasis nilai, kompetensi sosial yang empatik, serta kompetensi kepribadian yang berlandaskan akhlak. Selain itu, guru dituntut untuk mampu mengintegrasikan pendekatan Kurikulum Merdeka dengan nilai-nilai KBC guna menciptakan pembelajaran yang bermakna dan berorientasi pada pembentukan karakter peserta didik. Dengan demikian, penerapan Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta menjadi langkah strategis dalam memperkuat peran guru PAI sebagai pendidik yang tidak hanya mentransfer ilmu, tetapi juga membentuk karakter dan kepribadian peserta didik secara holistik.     This study aims to analyze the transformation of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers’ competencies in the era of the Merdeka Curriculum toward the Love-Based Curriculum (Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta/KBC). The shift in the educational paradigm requires teachers not only to possess pedagogical and professional competencies, but also to be capable of integrating character values, empathy, and compassion into the learning process. The Love-Based Curriculum (KBC) emerges as an approach that emphasizes the affective and humanistic dimensions of education, which has been introduced through various socialization programs of religious education policies in Indonesia. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method. The data were obtained from books, scientific journals, and relevant policy documents, and were analyzed using content analysis techniques. The findings reveal that the transformation of PAI teachers’ competencies includes the strengthening of value-based pedagogical competence, empathetic social competence, and personality competence grounded in moral values (akhlak). In addition, teachers are required to integrate the Merdeka Curriculum approach with the values of KBC in order to create meaningful learning experiences oriented toward the holistic character development of students. Therefore, the implementation of the Love-Based Curriculum becomes a strategic step in strengthening the role of PAI teachers as educators who not only transfer knowledge, but also shape the character and personality of students holistically.
