INTRODUCTION  
Education's characteristics are universal or comprehensive—both in attitude and education space 
(David, 2014). Continuous education never stops and gives up from time to time, so that the 
integration of teaching and skills continues to be developed (Tam et al., 2018). Education has its 
existence in building a country's civilization. It is a good indication that developed countries have 
a high level of awareness of productive human resources (Nadarajah et al., 2012; Figueiro & 
Raufflet, 2015). Education is one of the essential prerequisites for the continuity of education to 
keep developing with the times, resulting in free human thinking (Prahani et al., 2020) in 
harmonizing the times. These developments are both academic and non-academic (Bair & Bair, 
2011; Austin & Sorcinelli, 2013), both in natural resources and managing their supporting 
infrastructure (Nadarajah et al., 2012; Berryman & Sauve, 2016; Barth et al., 2007). 

Education requires superior human resources (Saw & Watana, 2020). Human resources that 
can have a good and active performance will influence an institution or organization (Vosloban, 
2012). Educational organizations and institutions need human resources who can continue to 
develop with the changing times. Collaboration between employees, in this case, is needed 
(Amundsen & Wilson, 2012). All elements of the members in the agency need to improve 
performance or facilities continuously. Real superior schools are generally built jointly by all 
school members' elements, not solely by education authorities (Stes et al., 2010). 

At this time, to create a good or superior school, it must be designed and planned with an 
excellent curriculum (Setiawan, 2020) and also served by educators (teachers) who are committed 
and of high quality (Wijaya et al., 2016; Mangkunegara, 2011; Tenggala, 2013). Real superior 
schools can be achieved if all of the school's resources can be utilized optimally (Talan & Tyagi,

2020; Bearman et al., 2012; Zuhro, 2015). It means that all elements of the school, including school 
principals, administrative staff, school curriculum developers, teachers, and school caretakers, 
must be directly and thoroughly involved (Irmayani et al., 2018) because all these resources will 
create an excellent and good school atmosphere, able to make an adequate or superior 
institution/school (Omebe, 2014; Septi, 2017). 

Based on the pre-field results and information obtained at the Muhammadiyah 1 Jember 
Elementary School and the Al Baitul Amien 1 Jember Elementary School, information was 
obtained and several human resource development phenomena in both schools. The information 
obtained by the phenomenon is that some differences or limitations appear in the 
Muhammadiyah 1 Jember Elementary School and the Al Baitul Amien 1 Jember Elementary 
School regarding student achievement which is fairly good based on data while the activities, 
creativity, and innovation of educators (teachers) in upgrading their knowledge are lacking. . In 
this case, the two schools have the same problems regarding human resources at the primary 
school education level. 

One of the problems with teaching resources in these schools can be caused by inadequate 
leadership processes in learning and school management. For decentralization and educational 
autonomy to be successful, the principal's leadership must be maximally and continuously 
empowered (Omebe, 2014; Kumaedi et al., 2010). The empowerment of principal leadership in 
question is to increase functional abilities so that teachers as educators play a role by their primary 
duties and functions and the authority and purpose of their duties (Wijaya & Nyoto, 2016; 
Krismiyati, 2017; Suharto, 2017).  

The activities, creativity, and innovation of the less developed students (teachers) can be seen 
through the learning carried out by the teacher who still often uses conventional learning, and 
some school activities are not running or have not been implemented such as workshop, seminars 
or training, or other activities that should be able to improve experience and knowledge of 
students. Based on the conditions of the problem, it is not by the theory of opening education. 
Competent educational institutions must be oriented towards forming competent human beings 
or students (UPI Lecturer Team, 2012). In solving the problem, it is indispensable to research to 
obtain more accurate information about Human Resource Development, especially on improving 
educators' performance as teachers in both schools to improve and improve performance 
optimally at Muhammadiyah 1 Jember Elementary School and Al Elementary School Baitul 
Amien 1 Jember. 

RESEARCH METHOD  
General Background 
This study uses a qualitative approach to the type of evaluation research. When researchers have 
obtained information from researchers (students), then an evaluation analysis is carried out on 
the information or data obtained. The research design used a descriptive multi-case study, 
namely the process of making comparisons between two or more research sites. Two research 
sites were used, namely the elementary school level of education. The research location is in a 
different location so that it has different criteria, but there is no possibility of a similarity in the 
menus of the two schools. 

Sample/Participant 
The sample in this study was the board of the foundation as policymakers at the Muhammadiyah 
1 Jember Elementary School and the Al Baitul Amien 1 Jember Elementary School as the 
stakeholders, as well as the Human Resources (HR) managers at the Muhammadiyah 1 Jember 
Elementary School and the Al Baitul Amien 1 Jember Elementary School. The sample of this study 
included: principals, curriculum representatives, vice principals, teachers, and students of both 
schools.

Instrument and Procedures 
Researchers carry out data collection by visiting subjects or informants and conducting 
interviews to obtain complete data and information. Data collection was carried out using 
participatory observation techniques, structured and in-depth interviews, and documentation. 
Research with a qualitative approach was conducted with four criteria for data validity: 1) 
Credibility, 2) Transferability, 3) Dependability, and 4) Confirmability. In Credibility, the 
researcher made prolonged observations to obtain relevant information and checked the 
correctness of the information regarding the management of student resources at 
Muhammadiyah 1 Jember Elementary School and Al Baitul Amien 1 Elementary School. The 
transferability process is a process where researchers determine standards in finding the same 
topic and harmonious than the results of information regarding students' human development 
in the two schools are described in detail and tune. The dependability process is the audit process 
of the fundamental research, wherein in this process, the researcher conducts discussions with 
experts in the field. Finally, the confirmability process is where the results of this study have been 
mutually agreed upon by experts. 

Data Analysis 
The data analysis process is carried out in several steps, namely 

1. Data condensation (the process of selecting, simplifying, and transforming data that is 
close to the overall data, both interviews, documents, and observations regarding the 
development of student resources), 

2. Data presentation (a collection of information obtained by researchers allows a 
conclusion), 

3. Drawing conclusions and verification.

From the presentation of the Table 1, it can be seen that several activities indicate the 
existence of human resource development activities carried out by educators at Elementary 
School Muhammadiyah of 1 Jember. The table above shows that the concept of human resource 
development in Muhammadiyah 1 Jember Elementary School is already running. The concept of 
human resource development applied by the Muhammadiyah 1 Jember Elementary School refers 
to a development theory that is more directed at improving the quality of education, perfecting 
and maximizing educational functions. 

Continuous refinement of the system and continuously is a development step that needs to

The concept of human resource development for teaching staff at Elementary School 
Muhammadiyah of 1 Jember was carried out in several steps, based on interviews with school 
principals including program preparation, determination of needs, targeting, program 
determination, identification of learning principles, and program implementation. According to 
research by Nadarajah et al (2012) which states that educational institutions have high-
performance staff and a consistent work program that will continue to develop human resources 
in these institutions. Planning and designing a good curriculum in learning will improve the 
quality of my human resources for educators (Wijaya et al, 2016; Mangkunegara, 2011; Tenggala, 
2013). 

B. The concept of Human Resource Development carried out by schools in improving the 
performance of teaching staff at Elementary School Al Baitul Amien of 1 Jember 

The concept of human resource development for teaching staff at Elementary School Al Baitul 
Amien of 1 Jember is basically not much different from schools in general, carried out in several 
steps, based on interviews with school principals, including: 

"Several potentials and supporting factors as well as various possibilities that can be 
pursued in the human resource development program for educators. By improving 
the skills of educators through training workshops, seminars, and further studies for 
all educators with the pension rules for employees aged 58 and teachers 60 years. 
W.02/BMS/HEAD/ALAMIN1JBR/8/2019

programmed at the beginning of the learning year with various considerations related to needs, 
facilities, implementation, and budget. 

According to what was conveyed by the Principal of Elementary School Al Baitul Amien of 
1 Jember, namely: 

"Efforts to develop human resources for educators by determining needs, determining 
needs are made to know and overcome various new challenges and challenges that will 
come. So development will only be carried out if the need is needed and in determining 
the need there are several parties involved including the principal, head of administration, 
deputy head of school as well as educators and education personnel "W.2/BMS/HEAD/ 
ALAMIN1JBR/8/2019. 

In this case, the development will only be carried out if the need is needed and in determining 
needs there are several parties involved including the principal, the head of administration, the 
deputy principal of the school, and the educators. No matter how ideal the development 
objectives, the amount of available costs always demands the planners the necessary adjustments, 
so that the programs offered remain affordable. 
Based on the implementation of these programs according to the Principal of Elementary School 
Al Baitul Amien of 1 Jember, stated that: 

"Facilities are the most important thing in program utilization. Apart from costs, facilities 
are an aspect that also influences the planning and implementation process of human 
resource development for educators and educational personnel. What is meant by 
facilities are Learning Facilities (library, laboratory, media, tools, practices, books, and 
others). supporting facilities (means of transportation, printing equipment, and others. 

   "W.3.1/BMS/HEAD/ALAMIN1JBR /1/2018. 

This means that the more complete the facilities you have, the easier the planning and 
implementation of human resource development activities for educators and educational 
personnel will be. Some facilities such as information technology. Technological facilities will 
greatly assist educators in facilitating learning activities (Lince, 2016 Irmayani et al, 2018). 

Single case study findings: 
Research findings on the second site are related to the concept of human resource development 
carried out by schools in improving the performance of teaching staff at Al Baitul Amien 1 Jember 
Elementary School. Based on the explanation of research data that has been previously stated, the 
researcher found the findings of research notes related to the concept of human resource 
development at Elementary School Al Baitul Amien of 1 Jember, which are presented in Table 4.

Final Findings Both Concepts: 
The concept of developing human resources, which is implemented by schools to improve the 
performance of educators (teachers) at Elementary School Muhammadiyah of 1 Jember and the 
Elementary School Al Baitul Amien of 1 Jember, namely first, (a) Increase abilities, skills, attitudes 
and responsibilities educators (teachers) to be more effective and efficient in achieving program 
goals and school goals through regular and periodic and continuous religious guidance. In line 
with research from Mukolwe et al (2017), it is stated that the existence of the management of 
human resources increases the performance and skills of educators so that there is a significant 
positive effect. 

The Second, b) optimizing human resource development as much as possible by delegating 
to educators (teachers) to increase competence through skills and knowledge development 
activities, either independently or institutionally. The concept of developing skills and 
knowledge in improving the performance of educators (teachers) in both schools is carried out 
through various supporting activities such as workshops and education and training, which must 
be ongoing and routinely carried out to improve the quality of educators (teachers), due to 
teaching staff (teachers). is an important and complex component that must receive top priority, 
because to get educators (teachers) who are competent and qualified, harmonious and effective 
cannot be the same as easily procuring and placing machines in one place without routine 
maintenance, and Educators are not machines that are employed continuously, so that teaching 
staff (teachers) need to get special attention, as an activity step to pay special attention to 
educators (teachers), then refresher is carried out through workshops and training activities so 
that the quality and quantity of teaching personnel teacher) according ai with the needs of 
institutions or schools, more effective and efficient to support the achievement of school goals. In 
line with research from Suharto (2017) in hypothesis testing, it shows that supervision and 
training have a positive effect on performance. And also improve the quality of the workforce 
(Suhardan, 2014). 

The third, c) strive to improve the quality of education by recommending educators 
(teachers) to take further studies to a higher level or for educators (teachers) who are not linear, 
schools provide education for educators (teachers) according to the field of work they can 
support. provide opportunities and recommendations to take part in an equalization program, 
this is done in increasing the academic knowledge and skills of educators (teachers). To improve 
the quality of education, the professionalism of educators needs to be improved using further 
study (Irmayani et al, 2018; Fahrudin 2015; Maamarah, 2016). 

In general, the concept of the human resource development program carried out by the two 
schools in maintaining the quality and improving the performance of educators (teachers) starts 
from an analysis of the needs of teaching staff (teachers), recruitment (recruitment), candidate 
selection, orientation and induction that has been planned and well structured, thus helping in 
the process of achieving educational goals in both schools. In line with research from Irmayani 
2018, it was stated that in developing Elementary School Puri teaching resources, it was carried 
out by management starting from the admission of new students, the recruitment process, 
implementing activities to the end of the activity implementation program. Based on the analysis 
above, the findings of case 1 and case 2 can be tabulated along with the final findings of the two 
schools in the table below:
