THE MANAGEMENT OF EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES: THE PERSPECTIVE OF ERGONOMIC AND AESTHETIC PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

The paper aims to formulate a solution to the problem of how philosophical aspects are applied in education management, especially in the management of educational facilities and infrastructure after the Covid-19 pandemic. From the results of the general problem analysis, seven problems were identified, namely: (1) Planning of Educational Facilities and Infrastructure, (2) Organization of Educational Facilities and Infrastructure, (3) Implementation of Management of Educational Facilities and Infrastructure, (4) Supervision of Educational Facilities and Infrastructure, (5) Utilization of Educational Facilities and Infrastructure, (6) Ergonomics Problems of Educational Facilities and Infrastructure, and (7). Aesthetic Problems of Educational Facilities and Infrastructure. The method used in this study was a literature study on educational management based on various philosophical and management theories. The results of the study found that the ergonomic and aesthetic management in various management of educational facilities and infrastructure after the Covid-19 pandemic included five principles, namely unity, harmony, balance, contrast, and symmetry. In the learning process, this quality can be implemented in a classroom arrangement. This description proves that aesthetics, as a branch of philosophy, contributes to creating fun and progressive learning.
