Evaluation of the pencak silat coaching program in East Java: A study using the CIPP model

This study evaluated the development of pencak silat coaching in East Java using Stufflebeam’s Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) evaluation model. The participants were 55 members of the East Java Indonesian Pencak Silat Association (IPSI), consisting of 11 coaches, 7 staff members, and 37 athletes. A mixed-method evaluative approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires, observations, interviews, and document analysis. The results indicated that, overall, the implementation of the coaching program falls into the “good” category, with the following scores: (1) Context obtained an average score of 3.34, showing strong alignment between the program and government goals and policies; (2) Input received an average score of 2.84, categorized as “sufficient,” highlighting areas for improvement such as funding and infrastructure; (3) Process scored 3.16, rated as “good,” reflecting that the program was generally well-planned and executed as designed; and (4) Product achieved an average score of 3.18, also rated as “good,” indicating improvements in athletes’ physical and non-physical skills, despite a decline in medal counts during the 21st National Sports Week. In summary, the CIPP model was able to pinpoint the areas requiring improvement to foster greater success in pencak silat coaching development.
