Abstract

This study examines the quality of the learning environment at SMP Negeri 2 Kolaka Utara by analyzing the interaction between structural, pedagogical, and socio-economic factors within a rural public secondary school context. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis involving the school principal, teachers, and parents, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that limitations in educational infrastructure, uneven development of teachers’ professional competencies, low parental engagement, and students’ socio-economic constraints jointly shape the learning environment and hinder its optimal development. Rather than functioning as isolated issues, these factors form an interconnected system that influences teaching effectiveness and student learning experiences. This study highlights that improvements in learning environment quality require an integrated, multi-stakeholder approach that aligns school management practices, teacher capacity development, and community participation. The novelty of this research lies in its holistic analytical framework, which moves beyond single-factor explanations by demonstrating how multiple dimensions simultaneously affect learning environments in rural secondary schools. The study contributes to educational management and school improvement literature by providing empirical insights that support context-responsive and sustainable strategies for enhancing learning environments in under-resourced educational settings.

Abstract

Higher education institutions are increasingly required to develop adaptive leadership and organizational capabilities in response to digital transformation, institutional complexity, and environmental uncertainty. This study aims to map the intellectual structure of research on agile leadership and organizational agility in higher education through a bibliometric review. Bibliographic data were retrieved from the Scopus database and screened using the PRISMA 2020 flow diagram. The final corpus consisted of 141 Scopus-indexed documents published between 2003 and 2026. The data were analyzed using VOSviewer to examine annual publication trends, keyword co-occurrence, co-authorship networks, country collaboration, and co-citation structures. The findings show that scholarly attention to this topic has increased substantially after 2021, with 103 documents published between 2021 and 2026. Keyword co-occurrence analysis reveals that the field is strongly shaped by dynamic capabilities, organizational agility, digital transformation, knowledge management, and innovation, while agile leadership remains an emerging but increasingly relevant theme. Co-authorship analysis indicates fragmented collaboration among authors, while country collaboration shows international distribution with uneven network connections. Co-citation analysis confirms that the intellectual foundation of the field is interdisciplinary, combining dynamic capabilities, resource-based view, strategic management, adaptive leadership, and university innovation studies. This study contributes to higher education management literature by clarifying the conceptual structure, collaboration patterns, and theoretical foundations of agility-related research in higher education.

Abstract

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at vocational high schools in Kendari City faces various systemic and structural barriers that significantly impact the effectiveness of teaching and learning. This study aims to identify the real challenges in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum and to offer contextual strategies based on empirical findings. This study used a qualitative approach and data collection technique by in-depth interviews. The informants consisted of principals, vice principals for curriculum, and teachers from seven vocational high schools in Kendari City. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis techniques, covering three main stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the main challenges include the high administrative workload for teachers, limited training and technical assistance, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, unequal utilization of technology, disparities in teachers’ understanding, the absence of evaluation guidelines for productive subjects, cultural barriers in reflective practices, and limited time to conduct authentic assessments. These barriers lead to ineffective learning processes, inconsistency in evaluation standards across classes, and suboptimal implementation of authentic assessment in line with the philosophy of the Merdeka Curriculum. Based on these findings, this study recommends contextual strategies through teacher capacity strengthening, provision of adequate infrastructure, enhancement of technical support, development of contextual evaluation guidelines for vocational schools, and the establishment of a reflective and collaborative evaluation culture in schools. The success of implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Kendari City vocational schools largely depends on the synergy of policy, resource support, and the transformation of the school work culture.
