Abstract

Education quality is strongly influenced by the culture of quality within schools, which shapes collaboration, trust, and academic achievement among school members. This study aims to examine the implementation of quality culture at SD Negeri 2 Kaliaman, Kembang District, Jepara, focusing on three key elements: reliability culture, trust culture, and academic optimism. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation to obtain an in-depth understanding of the strategies and practices used to develop quality culture. The findings indicate that the school has effectively fostered a culture of reliability through structured supervision, teacher motivation, and competency enhancement via training and the use of technology. Trust culture has strengthened communication and cooperation among teachers, students, and the community, while academic optimism is demonstrated through collaborative academic and non-academic activities involving teachers, students, and parents. However, challenges remain, particularly in fully integrating technology into teaching practices and bridging gaps in understanding between parents and the school. In conclusion, implementing a quality culture plays a critical role in improving educational outcomes, promoting stakeholder engagement, and creating a sustainable and competitive learning environment.

Abstract

Improving teacher performance remains a central priority in efforts to enhance instructional quality in Indonesian primary schools. Conventional supervision practices, which often focus on administrative compliance, have been criticized for their limited impact on classroom instruction. In response, coaching-based academic supervision has emerged as a more empowering and reflective approach to professional development. This study examines the effectiveness of coaching-based academic supervision in improving teacher performance at SD Negeri 1 Sedan. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using an interactive model of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that coaching enables principals to identify teacher needs through data-driven analysis, establish flexible supervision schedules, and set clear instructional performance indicators. During implementation, coaching fosters reflective dialogue, constructive feedback, and collaborative problem-solving, leading to improved lesson planning, classroom interaction, and pedagogical decision-making. Evaluation is conducted through joint reflection and analysis of observation results, forming the basis for continuous follow-up coaching. The study concludes that coaching-based supervision offers a more holistic and impactful model than traditional supervision, although it requires strong coaching skills and adequate time allocation. Future studies should examine long-term effects across diverse school contexts.

Abstract

Literacy and numeracy are essential foundational competencies, yet many primary schools continue to face challenges in meeting expected mastery levels. SD Sumbermulyo in Sarang District, Rembang Regency implements literacy and numeracy programs aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum; however, educational report data show significant gaps in student achievement. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs by analyzing their planning, implementation, and control, as well as students’ competency outcomes. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews with school stakeholders, classroom observations, and analysis of educational reports. The findings reveal that although the school has organized structured programs supported by teacher involvement and basic learning resources, more than 60% of students especially in lower grades have not met minimum reading and arithmetic standards. The study concludes that improving program effectiveness requires data-based adjustments, enhanced learning materials, improved time allocation for literacy activities, and stronger collaboration among teachers, parents, and the community. Overall, this research highlights the importance of educational report analysis as a practical tool for evaluating and strengthening literacy and numeracy programs in primary schools.
