Abstract

Technology integration in schools continues to face challenges related to inadequate infrastructure, unstable internet connectivity, and gaps in teachers’ digital competencies. This study aims to explore teachers’ perceptions and acceptance of technology use in enhancing professional competence amid these constraints in junior high schools. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the study was conducted at SMPN 1 Salang and SMPN 4 Salang, Simeulue Regency, over a three-month period. Eight participants, including principals, teachers, and school administrators, were selected using purposive sampling based on their direct involvement in educational technology use. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that teachers’ reception of technology is reflected in three key aspects: participation in technology-based training, shifts in attitudes from resistance to acceptance, and self-initiated learning activities. Despite these positive responses, teachers’ efforts remain constrained by limited technological facilities, uneven internet access, and varying levels of digital literacy. The study concludes that positive teacher reception plays a crucial role in strengthening professional competence, although sustained institutional support through continuous training, supportive policies, and infrastructure development is essential to optimize technology integration in schools.

Abstract

​Objective: This study aims to develop a participatory and data-based model for managing basic education facilities and infrastructure to improve the quality of education services in the archipelago. The focus of the research is directed at the optimization strategy of BOS funds, the implementation of School-Based Management (SBM), and the use of data-based School Facilities Management System (SFMS). Methods: This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies. The research informants consisted of principals, teachers, and committees in two elementary schools in Simeulue Regency, who were purposively selected. Data analysis was carried out through reduction, thematic presentation, and conclusion drawing, with triangulation validation of sources and methods. Results: The results of the study show that the planning and implementation of infrastructure management have been carried out in a participatory, adaptive, and data-based manner, with school principals playing a central role in coordination. The main challenges include limited BOS funds, technical personnel and digital literacy. From the field findings, an Integrative Model for Participatory Facilities and Infrastructure Management (ISPBD Model) was formed, which emphasizes collaboration, budget efficiency, and public accountability. Novelty: This research offers a new conceptual model that integrates the principles of SBM, BOS fund optimization, and data-driven facility management, which has not previously been developed in an integrated manner in the context of elementary schools in the Indonesian archipelago.​
