Abstract

There is still limited research that examines in depth the implementation of transformational leadership of school principals and their impact on teacher performance in the digital era, especially at the junior high school level. The transformation of education in the digital era requires the active role of school principals in encouraging the improvement of teacher performance in an adaptive and sustainable manner. This study aims to find and analyze the transformational leadership of school principals in improving teacher performance in the digital era. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive analysis method. The data collection method was carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Samples are selected based on purposive sampling. The selected samples were school principals, teachers based on education level and class rank, students based on roles in school organizations. Data analysis is done through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn, with data validity tests using triangulation of sources, techniques, and time. The results of the study show that (1.) school principals have applied transformational leadership principles through the involvement of teachers in deliberation and decision-making as well as encouragement for digital learning adaptation; (2) the implementation of leadership has not been completely consistent, especially related to sudden policy changes and lack of adequate socialization; (3) Leadership has an impact on teacher performance, especially in the planning and implementation of digital learning, and affects the stability of teachers' motivation and work effectiveness. Conclusion: transformational leadership of school principals has great potential in improving teacher performance in the digital era, but its effectiveness is largely determined by policy consistency, clarity of communication, and attention to individual teacher needs. These findings provide theoretical and practical contributions to the development of leadership of school principals that are adaptive to the challenges of educational digital transformation.

Abstract

The use of digital learning media is one of the important strategies in answering the challenges of educational transformation in the digital era, especially in improving the quality of teachers as a whole. In addition to contributing to strengthening pedagogic and professional competence, digital learning media also has great potential in developing teachers' social competence, especially in the aspects of communication, collaboration, and professional interaction. This study aims to analyze in depth the planning and management of the use of digital learning media in improving the social competence of teachers at SDN 2 Plered. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The analytical framework refers to Henry Fayol's management functions which include planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, and controlling (POCCC), and is analyzed using the Input–Process–Output–Outcome (IPO) model. The research subjects consist of school principals, teachers, school operators, and related parties involved in the implementation of digital learning. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis is carried out interactively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn, with the validity of the data maintained through source triangulation and technical triangulation. The results of the study show that the planning for the use of digital learning media at SDN 2 Plered has been supported by school policies and the availability of digital infrastructure facilities. The organization of resources and briefings carried out by the principal encourage teachers to use digital media more actively and collaboratively. The use of digital learning media has been proven to contribute positively to improving teachers' social competence, especially in communication skills, cooperation between teachers, and professional interaction. However, the limitations of internet network infrastructure and the lack of optimal control and evaluation systems based on social competency indicators are still the main obstacles in the implementation of digital learning.

Abstract

This study aims to describe in depth how the management of sports facilities and infrastructure contributes positively to the improvement of non-academic achievement of students. The focus of the research departs from the problem of limited school sports facilities and their management that is not optimal, so that students have not received adequate environmental support to develop their potential and achievements in the field of sports. Using the POAC (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling) theoretical framework, this study traces how the process of planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising sports infrastructure facilities is carried out by schools. This research uses a qualitative paradigm with data collection methods in the form of observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Respondents in this study included school principals, PJOK teachers, infrastructure management staff, and other related parties. All data were analyzed through a systematic process of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that sports infrastructure planning has been carried out, but it has not fully referred to the applicable educational facility standards. The organization already has a basic structure, but its implementation has not been optimally carried out due to limited resources. At the implementation level, the use of infrastructure in both PJOK and extracurricular learning is not optimal due to the limited availability of tools and training spaces. Meanwhile, supervision is carried out informally and has not been supported by a structured evaluation mechanism. This study emphasizes that the management of well-planned, organized, and supervised sports facilities and infrastructure is a strategic factor in improving students' non-academic achievement. Strengthening planning, improving coordination, optimizing the use of facilities, and continuous supervision are steps that need to be taken by schools.

Abstract

Teachers are an important factor in the success of the learning process; therefore, teacher performance directly influences the quality of education. The principal's leadership also plays an important role in enhancing teacher motivation and performance. While previous studies have indicated that transformational school leadership has a positive impact on teacher performance, it remains unclear how the evaluation process within transformational leadership specifically improves performance. This study aims to analyze the controlling stage, based on Henry Fayol’s theory, of transformational school leadership in an effort to enhance teacher performance. This research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Samples were selected via purposive sampling, involving the school principal as a manager and teachers meeting specific criteria. Overall, the results indicate that the transformational leadership practices of the principal align with Henry Fayol’s POCCC theory, particularly in the controlling stage. In practice, the principal exercises control through supervision and collective reflection with teachers, which is documented in a supervision book. This book contains records of planned activities adjusted to the school’s vision and mission. The study concludes that transformational leadership at SDN 1 Bojong Timur, Purwakarta Regency, has proven successful in increasing teachers' morale, motivation, and responsibility, thereby contributing positively to the improvement of teacher performance.

Abstract

Education in the era of transformation focuses not only on academic achievement, but also on building individuals who are moral, independent, and ready to face the challenges of the 21st century. Student programs have a strategic role in this situation because they are a place to build values and character through various activities outside of formal learning. Student programs are still faced with several challenges in many schools, among them undisciplined students and poor collaboration. In order for the formation of student character to be more significant and sustainable, the student program management model must be integrated with a deep learning approach. In the context of in-depth education at SMP Negeri Satu Atap Rimbakarya, this study aims to explain and analyze the implementation of student programs to build positive character. The method used is qualitative and uses descriptive analysis. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawn.
