Abstract

This study examines how principal leadership practices strengthen teacher professionalism within the Guru Penggerak program in primary schools in Aceh Tamiang, Indonesia. Using a qualitative multi-case study design, data were collected from four schools through interviews, observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Findings show that principals enact integrated leadership practices strategic, instructional, transformational, and distributed to support teachers’ pedagogical, personal, social, and professional development. Strategic planning aligned professional development with school needs, while organizational structuring positioned Teacher Leaders as facilitators, mentors, and change agents. Instructional and transformational leadership practices, including coaching, supervision, and motivational support, contributed substantially to collaborative professionalism. Despite challenges such as limited infrastructure, teacher resistance, and administrative burdens, principals applied adaptive strategies such as flexible scheduling, simplified administration, and individualized mentoring. The study concludes that effective leadership is essential for cultivating extended professionalism among Teacher Leaders and provides actionable insights for strengthening the implementation of Indonesia’s educational reforms.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the challenges and strategies in managing inclusive education for children with special needs in primary Islamic schools through a thematic literature review. Using a thematic synthesis approach, this study systematically reviewed and analyzed relevant national and international peer-reviewed literature focusing on inclusive education, school management, and Islamic education contexts. The analysis identified five interrelated themes: teacher capacity and pedagogical readiness, institutional readiness and school management, curriculum and instructional adaptation, resource availability and support systems, and values-based and collaborative strategies. The findings indicate that challenges in inclusive education are systemic rather than isolated, requiring coordinated management responses rather than fragmented interventions. Importantly, the review highlights those Islamic values such as justice (‘adl), compassion (rahmah), and collective responsibility serve as ethical foundations that can strengthen leadership commitment and sustain inclusive practices. Based on these findings, this study proposes a Holistic Management Framework for Inclusive Education in Primary Islamic Schools, which integrates pedagogical, institutional, managerial, and ethical dimensions. The study contributes to inclusive education literature by offering a contextually grounded framework that supports the effective and sustainable management of inclusive education in faith-based primary schooling.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of ChatGPT, an Artificial Intelligence (AI), to transform teacher competence and lesson design in a junior high school setting in Lhokseumawe, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design was employed with 25 junior high school teachers from Ihyaaussunnah, Lhokseumawe, Aceh. These teachers were asked to utilize ChatGPT for various pedagogical tasks, including lesson planning, assessment design, and content creation. Pre- and post-test questionnaires assessed changes in teacher competence, while a rubric was used to evaluate the quality of lesson modules designed with ChatGPT. Results revealed significant improvements in all measured aspects of teacher competence, including pedagogical knowledge, technological proficiency, and confidence in using ChatGPT for instructional purposes. Lesson modules created with ChatGPT were rated highly across all evaluation criteria, indicating their effectiveness and alignment with modern pedagogical approaches. Qualitative feedback from teachers highlighted the time-saving benefits of ChatGPT, its ability to enhance creativity and personalize learning experiences, and its potential to spark new pedagogical approaches. However, some teachers reported initial challenges in formulating effective prompts and emphasized the need for ongoing support and training. This study provides valuable insights into the potential of ChatGPT to empower teachers and improve instructional design. However, the small sample size and context-specific nature of the findings limit generalizability. Further research is needed to explore the long-term impact of ChatGPT on teacher competence and student learning outcomes in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the implementation of sewing training as a vocational strategy to support work transition readiness among students with hearing disabilities. The research was conducted at SLB Negeri 1 Bireuen, Indonesia, using a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with three vocational teachers and five deaf students, supported by classroom observations and analysis of student-produced sewing products. The results showed that teachers employed adaptive instructional strategies such as visual demonstrations, step-by-step modeling, and nonverbal communication to address the students’ needs. Students demonstrated increased confidence, motivation, and technical competence in sewing, particularly in creating jilbab products. Product assessments revealed proficiency in stitching quality, accuracy, and finishing. Despite communication challenges, both teachers and students viewed sewing as a meaningful and relevant skill for future employment or entrepreneurship. The study concluded that visually adapted vocational training contributed significantly to both skill development and psychosocial growth. It highlighted the importance of integrating practical, student-centered programs within special education to prepare learners with disabilities for independent and inclusive work participation.
