Abstract

Background: Teacher performance is a vital element in achieving educational quality, particularly within Islamic-based schools located in rural areas. The role of the principal's management is believed to be a strategic factor influencing the effectiveness of teacher performance; however, it has not been extensively examined quantitatively in the context of Islamic elementary schools in rural settings. Methods: This study employed a quantitative associative approach using a field survey method involving 23 teachers at MI Ma’arif NU 01 Dawuhan Wetan. Data collection techniques included observation, documentation, and questionnaires that were validated and tested for reliability. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression with SPSS to determine the significant influence of the principal's management (variable X) on teacher performance (variable Y). Findings: The analysis revealed that the principal's management has a positive and significant influence on teacher performance, with an R² value of 0.810, indicating that the principal's management can explain 81% of the variation in teacher performance. The significance value (Sig.) of 0.000 and the t-value of 9.452, which is greater than the t-table value (1.724), further support this conclusion. Conclusion: The principal’s management has been proven to be a determining factor in improving teacher performance at MI Ma’arif NU 01 Dawuhan Wetan. The quality of planning, supervision, and leadership directly contributes to enhancing teachers' professionalism, responsibility, and productivity. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides empirical contributions to the field of Islamic education management by presenting quantitative evidence on the importance of school leadership in the context of madrasahs in rural areas. The findings may serve as a reference for developing management-based policies to improve the quality of education in Islamic elementary schools and similar institutions.

Abstract

Background: The role of educators is crucial in determining the success of the educational process in schools. The quality of learning delivered by teachers is directly influenced by their level of work motivation. One of the important factors affecting work motivation is organizational culture. A strong and positive organizational culture is believed to create a conducive working environment, encourage collaboration, and provide teachers with a sense of security and appreciation. However, in practice, many educators still experience demotivation due to unsupportive work cultures, such as poor communication, lack of appreciation, and excessive administrative demands. This study aims to examine the influence of organizational culture on teachers' work motivation at SMP Negeri 1 Banyumas. Methods: A quantitative approach using a survey method was employed, involving a total sampling of all 30 teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Banyumas as respondents. Data were collected through closed-ended questionnaires, and data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression to examine the relationship between organizational culture and work motivation variables. Findings: The results showed that organizational culture had a significant influence on teachers' work motivation. This was indicated by a correlation coefficient (R) value of 0.900 and a coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.810, meaning that 81% of the variation in work motivation could be explained by organizational culture. These findings support the organizational culture theory proposed by Edgar H. Schein, which states that values, norms, and habits within an organization deeply shape members' behavior and work spirit. Conclusion: This study is expected to provide valuable input for school management in formulating policies to strengthen organizational culture in order to improve motivation, performance, and the quality of learning sustainably. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in the application of the organizational culture model as a predictor of teachers' work motivation in the context of a public junior high school, which has rarely been explored in previous empirical studies.

Abstract

Background: Curriculum innovation plays an important role in improving the competence, adaptability, and competitiveness of graduates in response to changing educational and societal demands. This study examines the relationship between curriculum innovation and graduate quality at SMA Muhammadiyah Boarding School Zam-Zam. Methods: This study employed a quantitative correlational approach. The population consisted of 236 alumni from the 2024/2025 academic year. An initial sample of 70 respondents was determined using the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error and random sampling. Following data screening, 30 complete and valid responses were retained for statistical analysis. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through validity, reliability, normality, linearity, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression tests. Findings: The results demonstrate a strong and statistically significant positive relationship between curriculum innovation and graduate quality. Pearson correlation analysis produced an r value of 0.707 (p < 0.001), while simple linear regression showed a significant effect of curriculum innovation on graduate quality (F = 27.982, p < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.500) indicates that curriculum innovation explains 50% of the variance in graduate quality. The regression coefficient was positive (B = 0.854), indicating that higher levels of curriculum innovation are associated with higher graduate quality. Conclusion: Curriculum innovation has a significant and substantial relationship with graduate quality at SMA Muhammadiyah Boarding School Zam-Zam. Sustainable curriculum development, technological integration, Islamic boarding school values, and strengthening of 21st-century competencies are important components in supporting graduate quality. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study provides empirical evidence on the relationship between curriculum innovation and graduate quality within an integrated Islamic boarding school context, contributing to the limited literature examining curriculum innovation and graduate outcomes in this educational setting.
