Integrasi SIMDIK dengan Sistem DAPODIK: Peluang dan Tantangan dalam Meningkatkan Pengelolaan Data Pendidikan

Abstract

This study aims to examine the opportunities and challenges in the integration between the Education Management Information System (SIMDIK) and the Basic Education Data (DAPODIK) in improving the efficiency of education data management in Indonesia. In the midst of the development of information technology, efficient management of education data is the key to effective education policy planning and evaluation. DAPODIK has been used as the main education data collection system, but limitations in data integration more broadly are still an obstacle. SIMDIK is present as a solution that can integrate various elements of education to improve data management holistically. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach by exploring secondary data from literature, policy reports, and other sources. The results of the study show that the integration of SIMDIK and DAPODIK offers great opportunities, such as reducing data duplication, accelerating data access, and improving the quality of data-driven decision-making. However, challenges such as differences in data formats, infrastructure limitations, data security issues, and resistance to change need to be overcome through appropriate mitigation measures, such as increased human resource training and technological infrastructure development. With the right policy support and mature implementation, this integration is expected to improve education data management and improve the quality of education in Indonesia
