Abstract: The data shows the low quality of education of Indonesian
generally in Indonesia and particularly in the District Banyuasin and Musi
Banyuasin. The low quality of education can be seen from the mastery of
various competencies in the Indonesian language subjects tested
nationally. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the root causes based
on the possible factors causing the low quality of alternatives and
solutions. Thus, the purpose of this study as follows. (1) Reveal map of
each high school student competence in the subject the subject of the
Indonesian language. (2) Disclose the factors that cause students do not
master a certain subject on the subjects of the Indonesian language. (3)
Finding an alternative formulation of solutions to increase student
competence in the eyes of Indonesian language study. (4) Formulate the
implementation of problem-solving model to include a range of relevant

institutions. This research method is a method of policy research. This
policy research begins with the collection of data relating to the mapping
of high school students the basic competence of Indonesian language
subjects tested nationally. Of basic competency mapping is searched for a
variety of factors that cause students do not master the competencies and
look for alternative solutions to the formulation of final recommendations.
Keywords: Indonesian, basic competency mapping, resolution model,
recommendation.

INTRODUCTION
Indonesian is the official language in education from primary schools to
universities in Indonesia. All subjects / courses except English subjects are presented in the
Indonesian language. Given the importance of the role, the Indonesian language became
one of the main subjects in elementary school through high school. In college, the
Indonesian language became compulsory subjects that must be followed by students. In
addition, in primary school to upper secondary school level, Indonesian subjects received a
considerable portion of hours in a week.
Basically Indonesian subjects from primary school until the college has a goal to
puff on a skilled-speaking students. Language skills which includes four areas of listening,
speaking, reading, and writing. These four skills are intended to explicitly spelled out in

the Indonesian language curriculum that Mata Education Unit Level Curriculum.

On the other hand, the capabilities of the students in the Indonesian language seems
to have shown an encouraging situation from year to year. There is only a small part of
Elementary school, junior high school, and high school student in Indonesia that can use
the language properly and correctly. It can be seen from the posts made by them when they
entered the writing competition organized by Tempo magazine. The contestants came from
27 provinces in Indonesia. Most of the students from all three levels of the school is
extremely worrying. Students have not been able to use the rules of spelling correctly,
choosing the right words, using the rules of good grammar, and have not been able to
construct a sentence properly. It can be concluded that the quality control of Indonesian
students in Indonesia are low (Chaer cited Nurhayati, 2009a).
From various studies have shown that the ability of elementary school students to
high school students in the Indonesian language is low. Low language skills are not only
portrayed in four aspects of language skills including listening, reading, speaking, and
writing, but also can be seen from the national test scores (Nurhayati, 2007; Nurhayati,
2009b).
In particular, for the District Banyuasin and Musi Banyuasin need to be observed
the following phenomenon. Although the results of national examinations (UN) high
school (SMA) a high graduation rate for each competency area but some are still far below

the national average.
Here presented data from the UN National Education Standards Agency (BNSP) in
2009/2010 in the District Banyuasin and Musi Banyuasin.

From the above table it can be argued that there are many competencies that
students have not mastered. Failure to master these competencies by students is an early

indicator of low quality of output from high school. Some factors that may be the cause of
the failure of indicators to produce graduates who have the skills required by industry
workers, graduates have a competitive competencies are as follows. First, the quality of the
learning process a low, low school management, community schools do not provide a
trigger to increase the competence of students. Second, schools are not implementing
school-based management. Third, the learning support facilities are inadequate or not fully
utilized. Fourth, government policy in this case the district government has not touched the
root of the problems that exist in the area.
Based on the facts about the low quality of education both nationally and regionally
is necessary to find the root cause of both aspects of internal and external aspects and
alternative-an alternative solution. Especially in the District Banyuasin and Musi
Banyuasin, it is necessary to investigate the root causes based on the possible factors
causing the low quality of learning Indonesian as described previously and the solution

alternatives.
Respect to the purposes of this investigation in an integrated and comprehensive,
this study aimed to review the policy with the problems of "what is the dominant factor
causing the low quality of Indonesian teaching high school level (high school) in the
District Banyuasin and Musi Banyuasin based on mastery of competencies in each subject
and what alternatives to the solution ". Thus, the purpose of the mapping research and

development of quality learning Indonesian is as follows. (1) Reveal map of each high
school student competence in the subject the subject of the Indonesian language. (2)
Disclose the factors causing students do not master a certain subject on the subjects of the
Indonesian language. (3) Finding an alternative formulation of solutions to increase student
competence in the eyes of Indonesian language study. (4) Formulate the implementation of
problem-solving model to include a range of relevant institutions.

Improvement

From the description that has been presented above can be concluded that there are major
problems in the field with a number of alternative solutions. If reformulated, the main
problems that occur in the field is as follows.
1. In the aspect of Teacher
a. Lack of professional competence. Teachers lack the competencies to master a variety of
subjects relating to the substance. This is caused by the lack of deepening of the substance
/material on the part of teachers. Meanwhile, developing learning materials generally. In
addition, the teacher is not master IT. Development of science both at the level of verbal
information and the level of intellectual and psychomotor skills should be explored by
teachers in the control of IT.
b. Lack of pedagogical competence. Overall, teachers recognize their skills in the mastery
and application of various strategies/models/methods. Selected strategies that can enable
the involvement of students. So it is necessary to the development in the field of media and
the use of learning as a whole.
2. In the aspect of Infrastructures
From the data obtained in mind the lack of facilities and infrastructure, especially in
schools accredited B, C, and have not been accredited. Completeness as a book that
became a source of learning and language laboratories. In addition, the lack of facilities
such as LCD and hotspot which essentially help efforts to improve the quality of learning
that ultimately enhance the achievement of the competence of students.
3. Activation/formation MGMP
MGMP group in the eyes of Indonesian language teaching is essentially already
there. However, today no longer heard the echo MGMP. This is unfortunate because
through MGMP teachers can share and draw from a variety of knowledge and hone the
various skills associated not only with professional competence but also with pedagogical
competence.
Of the factors that cause the above can be given advice on model development in
order to improve the quality of learning that could ultimately improve the diverse estuary
basic competencies of high school students (chart 2).

reactivate or empower MGMP each subject or form MGMP on certain subjects that did not
exist during the time in the district. MGMP will be the spearhead of an increasing mastery

of the material (either in relation to the basic material, application materials, and materials
development), increasing the ability of PBM applications, as well as the empowerment of
teachers in other educational innovations.
For quality assurance monitoring of the implementation of MGMP held MGMP
conducted jointly by the LPMP, LPTK, and regulatory subjects. Local Government is a
party to the obligation of the implementation of facilities / infrastructure in schools in their
area. Facilities / infrastructure in the form of books to learn, LCD, language labs, and
hotspots.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Conclusion
From the description that has been said earlier conclusions can be stated as follows.
The existence of basic competencies that have not mastered high school students in nine
subjects tested nationally. The weak absorption of the various competencies of students is a
representation of the various factors in the field. Causative factors can be grouped into
three terms. First, the weakness of the aspects of the teacher. Teachers have a lack of
professional competence related to, among others, teachers' lack of understanding of the
material he teaches primarily concerned with the basic competencies tested. Second, a
weakness in the aspect of teachers' pedagogical competence. Aspects related to
pedagogical competence of teachers can be characterized by a lack of control of a variety
of strategies / methods / learning model that can enable students in the learning process. In
addition, teachers are less expert in various media including the lack of control of IT
learning, authentic assessment, and or other learning tools.
In addition, the group MGMP not running optimally. The problems that became no
less important is the lack of facilities and infrastructure to be a decisive aspect of the
emergence of constraints in the field. Given that all of the research team development
model put forward recommendations in order to improve the basic competencies for
students in the Indonesian language subjects tested nationally.
Recommendations
The suggestion that can be explained to the research results as follows.
Given the increasing importance of the basic competencies that need to be tested nationally
continuous efforts of various parties. The parties involved in the LPMP, LPTK, and local
government. LPMP as a technical unit Ministry of Education carry out quality assurance of
education in its implementation may be assisted by experts from universities (LPTK).
Government party had a role is important because ultimately improving the quality of
education is in its responsibilities. The effort is good synergy of these three elements of
planning, implementation and supervision is needed in order to improve the quality of
education.
