Fahrul Rivai Pratama (2026). Persepsi Guru Terhadap Program Makan Bergizi
Gratis Di SMP Negeri 1 Baitussalam Kabupaten Aceh Besar. [Skripsi.Universitas
Syiah Kuala]. Dibawah bimbingan Dr. Sakdiyah M.Si, dan A Razak S.Pd., M.S.M.
Program Makan Bergizi Gratis merupakan kebijakan pemerintah untuk
meningkatkan pemenuhan gizi peserta didik. Namun, pelaksanaannya di SMP
Negeri 1 Baitussalam Kabupaten Aceh Besar masih menghadapi kendala berupa
kurangnya variasi menu dan keterlambatan pengiriman makanan yang
menyebabkan pembagian MBG terkadang berlangsung pada saat jam
pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi guru, kendala,
dan harapan terhadap Program Makan Bergizi Gratis. Penelitian ini menggunakan
pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Subjek penelitian terdiri
atas enam orang informan, sedangkan data dikumpulkan melalui observasi,
wawancara, dokumentasi, dan studi kepustakaan, kemudian dianalisis melalui
reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian
menunjukkan bahwa guru memiliki persepsi positif terhadap pelaksanaan Program
MBG karena dinilai mampu mendukung pemenuhan kebutuhan gizi siswa.
Meskipun demikian, pelaksanaan program masih terkendala oleh kurangnya variasi
menu, keterlambatan distribusi makanan, dan waktu pembagian yang terkadang
berbenturan dengan jam pembelajaran. Guru juga berharap adanya peningkatan
variasi dan kualitas menu, ketepatan waktu distribusi, serta pengawasan dan
evaluasi yang berkelanjutan. Disimpulkan bahwa pelaksanaan Program MBG telah
berjalan dengan baik, namun masih memerlukan penyempurnaan pada aspek
variasi menu dan ketepatan waktu distribusi agar pelaksanaannya lebih optimal.
Kata kunci: Persepsi guru, Program Makan Bergizi Gratis, Kendala, Harapan.

ABSTRACT Fahrul Rivai Pratama (2026). Teachers’ Perceptions of the Free Nutritious Meal Program at SMP Negeri 1 Baitussalam, Aceh Besar Regency. [Undergraduate Thesis. Universitas Syiah Kuala]. Under the supervision of Dr. Sakdiyah, M.Si., and A. Razak, S.Pd., M.S.M. The Free Nutritious Meal Program is a government initiative aimed at improving the nutritional intake of students. However, its implementation at SMP Negeri 1 Baitussalam, Aceh Besar Regency, has encountered several challenges, including limited menu variety and delays in food delivery, which have occasionally resulted in meal distribution during instructional hours. This study aimed to examine teachers’ perceptions, the challenges encountered, and their expectations regarding the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program. A qualitative approach with a descriptive research design was employed in this study. The research involved six informants, and the data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature review. The data were analyzed using the processes of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that teachers had positive perceptions of the implementation of the MBG Program because it was considered effective in supporting students' nutritional needs. Nevertheless, the program still faced several challenges, including limited menu variety, delays in food distribution, and meal distribution schedules that occasionally conflicted with instructional hours. Teachers also expressed expectations for greater menu variety and improved meal quality, more timely food distribution, and continuous monitoring and evaluation of the program. It can be concluded that the implementation of the MBG Program has generally been successful; however, further improvements are needed, particularly in terms of menu variety and the timeliness of food distribution, to optimize the program's implementation. Keywords: Teachers’ perceptions, Free Nutritious Meal Program, Challenges, Expectations.
