Abstract

The objectives of this study were 1) to analyze the success level of the alumni of the Open/Distance Learning (O/DL), the Bachelor Education In-service Teachers Program (BEITP), Satya Wacana Christian University (SWCU), Salatiga in terms of their readiness to enter the ICT community, 2) to identify contributing factors in classroom lectures which become determinants for the success of the alumni in their readiness to enter ICT community, and 3) to determine the extent of the determinant effects which are to be found. The contributing factors which are assumed to affect the students' readiness to enter ICT community are the students' cognitive ability, the teacher's authority, the students' learning activeness, and the students' motivation in learning. This quantitative research is the causality ex-post facto research. The data source is one of the four classes of the BEITP SWCU students, which comprises 32 alumni of the 2015/2016 class. The data are screened by a self-rating scale (questionnaire) which includes valid and reliable 40 items, which are then reduced into 5 variables. The BEITP SWCU Salatiga program have graduated most of the alumni who have readiness to enter the ICT community at the medium and high levels. This achievement is influenced by the teacher's authority as well as students' meta-cognition as high as 40.80%. Eventually, the only determinant for the achievement has been the students' cognition ability which contributes 37.20%. This metacognition-based class management is worth developing in order to improve the quality of Higher Education Institutions which carry out the BEITP Program using the ICT-based classes.
