“Preparing a Learning Ecosystem: Planning the Management of Educators and Education Personnel in an Institution” 

By: Tria Pratiwi (2259100007), First Semester of Master’s Student/Class E Department of Islamic Education Management, UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung

Educators and education personnel (PTK) are the main pillars that determine the quality of an educational institution. Planning their management is a key element in designing an effective, adaptive, and sustainable learning ecosystem. Proper planning ensures the availability of personnel in terms of number, qualifications, and competencies. However, current practices show that planning tends to be reactive rather than strategic, as recruitment is often conducted abruptly to meet urgent needs without job analysis or long-term planning. This indicates that weak strategic planning results in reactive recruitment, leading to misalignment between long-term institutional needs and actual practices in the field. To address this gap, the author seeks to explain the basic concepts of planning educators and education personnel, which consist of four main points:

First, Educators and education personnel planning is a systematic process to ensure the number, quality, and placement of staff according to organizational needs through recruitment, development, utilization, and maintenance of potential personnel so that management runs effectively and efficiently. From the perspective of Islamic education, planning serves as a crucial initial step to ensure that every activity is purposeful, by considering dimensions of objectives, organization, and specific requirements. The benefits of PTK planning are highly strategic, including maximizing existing resources, increasing effectiveness, and preparing for future needs. Through accurate data, research, and well-directed programs, PTK can be managed appropriately to support institutional goals.

Second, methods, strategies, and procedures in PTK planning are essential components of educational human resource management. Planning methods may include non-scientific approaches based on experience; scientific approaches using data and forecasting; traditional approaches emphasizing numbers and skills; or integrated approaches oriented toward institutional strategic vision. Strategies must be long-term and aligned with organizational planning, covering job analysis, job specifications, workforce availability, as well as continuous evaluation. The procedures involve determining quality and quantity needs, analyzing data, preparing and selecting alternatives, communicating plans, and forecasting both short- and long-term requirements. 

Third, the PTK planning system aims to maintain balance between the demand and supply of personnel to ensure organizational effectiveness. The process includes four stages: analysis and forecasting of supply–demand data, determination of objectives and policies, preparation of recruitment and career development programs, and continuous control and evaluation.

Fourth, the preparation of PTK plans requires job analysis to produce clear job descriptions and specifications, enabling institutions to determine the number, qualifications, and eligibility of candidates according to organizational needs, current developments, and legal requirements.

As the determinant of institutional quality, PTK planning must be systematic and strategic. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the basic concepts of PTK planning—including methods, strategies, procedures, systems, and job analysis—is required so that educational institutions can ensure the availability of qualified personnel aligned with institutional needs and relevant to contemporary developments.
