Simple random sampling was conducted. The statistics used included frequency distribution, percentage, mean and standard deviation and content analysis from open-end questionnaires.
The results of the research were as follows: 1) Overall, most respondents agreed that the teaching and learning management in the area of instructors was at the highest level, while other components had an average score at a high level, including the supporting factors of teaching and learning, the process of teaching and learning, curriculum, and learners, respectively.
