Vol 1, Nomor 1, Januari 2016 Halaman: | 225 characteristics or attributes of teachers‘ adoption and integration of ICT into teaching provide information of factors supporting their use of technology as well as barriers to ICT integration. The key factor in the studies is teachers‘ attitudes toward technology or intentions to use technology in their classrooms. If teachers have negative attitudes toward technology, providing them with excellent ICT facilities may not influence them to use it in their teaching. Therefore, teachers need to be assured that technology can make their teaching interesting, easier, more fun for them and students, more motivating and more enjoyable. ICT helps to make classes more interesting, easier, varied, and enjoyable for [Var. X 8 ].

3. RESEARCH QUESTIONS

The research questions are stated as follows: 1. At what level of success will the ICT- based ITEP encourage and support the nation‘s economy? 2. What factors serve as determinants for the success of the ICT-based ITEP in encouraging and supporting the nation‘s economy? The factors mentioned above are limited to 1 curriculum development, 2 professionalism of the lecturersteachers, 3 meta-cognitive aspect, 4 leadership, 5 achievement of objectives, 6 communication with parents networked systems, 7 adoption and integration of ICT into teaching and learning processes, 8 interesting, easier, more fun, more motivating and more enjoyable way of teaching.

4. RESEARCH METHODS

This study was conducted on the basis of the ITEP alumni assessment. The data sources are 52 ITEP graduates as SWCU alumni from Batang District, 2015. Data were collected through a self-rating scale consisting of 30 items that have been proven valid and reliable; Score validity is 0.192 to 0.502, with a reliability index by Cronbachs Alpha = 0.721. Data analysis used descriptive analysis and stepwise multiple regression models with SPSS for windows version 20.

5. RESULTS

After the data were collected, the result of the descriptive analysis on each variable is as follows: Table 1. The results of the descriptive analysis on all variables under study Me an Me dian Std.

This means that the spread of each related variable has a tendency toward higher point; while the average value of variables: X 6 Networked Systems, X 7 Adoption of ICT into Teaching Learning Processes, X 8 Active, Creative, Joy Full and Effective LearningACJEL is larger than the median, this means deployment of Vol 1, Nomor 1, Januari 2016 Halaman: | 226 each variable in question has a tendency towards lower. To know how high the level of the ICT- based ITEP has encouraged and supported the nation‘s economy Research problem 1, a descriptive analysis of the variables gives the following result as shown in Table 2.

None was at the low level. After testing for normality and homogeneity, the stepwise multiple regression analysis models were performed on the effect of 8 independent variables X to the performance of the ITEP. The result of which is shown in the following Table 3. Table 3. Model Summary Model R R Square Adjusted R Square Std.

Predictors: Constant, X 2 , X 1 , X 3 Based on the results of the analysis as presented in Table 3 above, it can be summarized that Lecturer Professionalism X 2 was the determinant of the success of the performance of the ITEP in encouraging and supporting the nation‘s economy Y at 48.90 Model 1, which, when followed by the Curriculum Development X 1 , its effect on the performance of the ICT-based ITEP in encouraging and supporting the nation‘s economy Y amounted to 70.40 model 2, especially in addition to the Metacognitive aspect X 3 . The influence of the third variable to the performance of the ITEP with the distance learning program increased to 78.30 model 3. This means that only less than 21, 70 is influenced by other variables that are not observed in this model. Other variables, namely, Leadership X 4 , Achievement Class X 5 , Networked Systems X 6 , Adoption of ICT into Teaching Learning Processes X 7 and Active, Creative, Joy Full and Effective LearningACJEL X 8 which are supported by the data do not affect the performance and success of conducting the ITEP Distance learning. Furthermore, to determine significance of the findings of the above three models, the results of the ANOVA analysis can be examined in the Table 4 below: Table 4.

This means that the three variables in Model 1 Lecturer Professionalism X 2 , and Model 2 plus Curriculum Development X 1 , and Model 3 along with the Metacognitive X 3 become determinants of the performance and success of the ICT-based with data support to meet the level of significance. To build influential equation model of the 3 variables, i.e., Lecturer Professionalism X 2 , Curriculum Development X 1 , and the Metacognitive X 3 towards the success of the ICT-based ITEP in encouraging and Vol 1, Nomor 1, Januari 2016 Halaman: | 227 supporting the nation‘s economy Y, observation on the Beta Coefficient B ---both standard and non-standard---was performed.
