Abstract

The rapid progression of education in the 21st century has increased the necessity for innovation in schools, especially at the primary level where fundamental skills are cultivated. School principals serve as pivotal agents of change, with administrative proficiency being a crucial factor in promoting sustainable educational innovation. This study examines the role of principals' managerial ability in fostering and executing innovation in public elementary schools in Aceh Tamiang Regency, Indonesia. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive methodology, data were gathered via in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving principals and educators from three public elementary institutions. The results indicate that principals' managerial competence—exemplified by systematic planning, collaborative organization, consistent execution, and ongoing supervision—substantially fosters innovation in educational practices, school administration, and organizational culture. Nonetheless, difficulties pertaining to inadequate infrastructure, digital preparedness, and inconsistent teacher proficiency persist as barriers to the sustainability of innovation. The study finds that enhancing principals' managerial competency via ongoing professional development and institutional support is crucial for promoting educational innovation, especially in regional elementary school settings.

Abstract

The growing digitalization of educational administration has established Management Information Systems (MIS) as vital instruments for enhancing school administration and facilitating decisions based on data. Despite its strategic importance, empirical data regarding the use of Management Information Systems in elementary education—especially in limited financial settings—remains uncommon. This study examines the planning, implementation, and evaluation of Management Information Systems (MIS) in SD Negeri 20 Kuta Makmur, a public primary school located in North Aceh Regency, employing a qualitative case study methodology, data were gathered via semi-structured interviews with school leaders, educators, and administrative personnel, supplemented by observations and document analysis. The results reveal that although the school exhibits a robust dedication to digital transformation, the efficacy of MIS implementation is hindered by insufficient infrastructure, restricted budgetary resources, and disparate digital competences among staff. Nonetheless, the technology has enhanced administrative coordination, data accessibility, and internal communication. The research indicates that effective MIS implementation relies on both technology preparedness and organizational elements, such as leadership dedication, well-defined operating protocols, and a conducive institutional culture. Without these enabling conditions, the transformational potential of digital technologies is only partially actualized. This research enhances the literature on educational digitalization by offering empirical observations from a primary school setting and presents practical implications for bolstering institutional capacity and governance in basic education via sustainable information system adoption

Abstract

The performance of teachers is a crucial factor influencing educational quality, especially in elementary schools where core skills are developed. This research examines the impact of Total Quality Management (TQM), organizational culture, and work satisfaction on the performance of elementary school educators in Trienggadeng District, Pidie Jaya Regency, Indonesia. This research, rooted in organizational behaviour theory, employs a quantitative explanatory methodology. Data were gathered from primary school educators using standardized questionnaires assessing TQM implementation, organizational culture, job satisfaction, and teacher performance. The data were studied by path analysis to investigate both direct and concurrent correlations among variables. The results indicate that Total Quality Management and organizational culture significantly enhance teachers' job happiness. Moreover, Total Quality Management, organizational culture, and job happiness each have a substantial direct impact on teacher performance. The three independent factors collectively account for a significant amount of the variance in teacher performance, suggesting that quality-oriented management practices, a supportive corporate culture, and satisfied work-related requirements boost instructional efficacy. his study enhances the domain of educational management by presenting empirical evidence of a comprehensive model that connects managerial, cultural, and psychological aspects to teacher performance in primary education. The findings emphasize the necessity of reinforcing continuous quality improvement, fostering a positive school culture, and augmenting teacher job satisfaction as strategic measures to enhance educational outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines how school principals implement leadership strategies that improve the quality of primary education through the organised application of essential managerial functions—planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating (POAE). The research employed a qualitative multi-site case study design commenced in two public primary schools in the Bandar Dua District, each representing distinct accreditation levels. Data were produced via comprehensive interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and were thematically evaluated through triangulation to guarantee analytical rigor and reliability. The findings indicate that effective principals perceive leadership as a process rather than a collection of discrete actions. Principals convert collective school visions into data-driven planning, coordinate resources through collaborative and decentralized frameworks, enhance instructional quality through systematic oversight and ongoing professional development, and integrate evaluative practices grounded in learning outcomes and performance metrics to facilitate continuous improvement. These techniques exemplify a cohesive implementation of dispersed, transformational, instructional, and learning-centred leadership, tailored to specific contextual situations. Nonetheless, the efficacy of leadership is limited by inconsistent teacher capabilities, administrative requirements, and variations in resources among schools. This study enhances the educational leadership literature by promoting a process-oriented comprehension of principal leadership that connects leadership theory with routine managerial practice. The findings highlight the necessity of cohesive integration of POAE functions, participatory governance, and evidence-based decision-making to maintain quality enhancement in primary schools, affecting principal preparation and school-based management policy.

Abstract

Teachers play a strategic role in improving educational quality through pedagogical, social, personal, and professional competencies. The swift evolution of education in the context of globalization and digitalization necessitates that educators exhibit elevated levels of personal competence, self-efficacy, and inventive conduct. This study seeks to examine techniques for enhancing teacher performance based on individual capability, self-efficacy, and innovation in public elementary schools within the Peusangan District of Bireuen Regency. The research utilized a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data were gathered via surveys and analysed using path analysis and SITOREM (Scientific Identification Theory for Operational Research in Education Management), while qualitative data were acquired through interviews, observations, and documentation to enhance quantitative results. The sample comprised teachers from 28 public primary schools, with 147 participants chosen via Slovin’s algorithm. The results demonstrate that personal capability, self-efficacy, and inventive conduct substantially enhance teacher performance. Educators possessing elevated self-efficacy exhibit increased initiative in fostering instructional innovation and adjusting to curriculum modifications. Nonetheless, various indices of innovation and human capability remain inadequate, especially in the exploration of novel teaching tactics and problem-solving methodologies. The study advocates for the fortification of professional development programs, the augmentation of teacher confidence, and the promotion of innovation-driven learning methodologies to elevate teacher performance and educational quality.

Abstract

School leadership is widely accepted as being critically important for the quality of education, but there is a lack of empirical evidence on leadership practices in rural secondary schools, especially in geographically remote areas in developing countries. This qualitative single-case study investigates the strategic efforts of a rural public secondary school principal of SMA Negeri 1 Geureudong Pase to improve educational quality in the face of significant contextual constraints. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the principal, vice principals, teachers, school committee members, and administrative staff; classroom and school observations; and document analysis. Iterative thematic analysis was employed to reduce the data, code and categorize it, and triangulate across sources to establish credibility and trustworthiness. The results point to three interrelated approaches to leadership: transformational and visionary leadership that created a shared vision and culture of collaboration; instructional leadership operationalized through supervision, mentoring, and professional learning; and distributed, community-oriented leadership that increased capacity through teacher empowerment and stakeholder partnerships. Teacher commitment and community participation supported these strategies, despite the continued challenges of geographic isolation, limited facilities, and teacher shortages. The integrated approach resulted in improvements in teaching quality, student achievement, discipline, and stakeholders' trust. The study adds to the literature on contextual school leadership and has practical implications for leadership development and policy in remote educational environments.
