Abstract

This study explores how school principals lead the implementation of deep learning in primary education by leveraging teacher learning communities to enhance educational quality. Responding to increasing demands for meaningful, higher-order learning in the twenty-first century, the study adopts a qualitative case study design to examine leadership practices in a primary education context. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis involving school principals, teacher learning community coordinators, and primary school teachers. The findings reveal that leadership in deep learning is enacted through a coherent, integrated set of strategies. These include articulating and institutionalizing a shared pedagogical vision, positioning teacher learning communities as core mechanisms for collaborative professional learning, reorienting instructional supervision toward reflective dialogue, and managing structural and cultural conditions that sustain instructional change. Teacher learning communities function as mediating structures that translate leadership vision into classroom-level deep learning practices. When supported by reflective supervision and aligned organizational conditions, these communities foster teachers’ pedagogical innovation and collective responsibility for student learning. The study contributes to the literature on instructional leadership and professional learning communities by conceptualizing leadership for deep learning as a systemic and relational process. In practice, the findings offer insights for school leaders and policymakers seeking to embed deep learning into everyday professional routines in primary education

Abstract

Instructional leadership plays a critical role in improving learning quality in early childhood education; however, its enactment in resource-constrained kindergarten settings remains underexplored. This study examines how kindergarten principals implement adaptive instructional leadership in contexts characterized by limited resources, heavy reliance on honorary teachers, and demanding curricular demands. Employing a qualitative descriptive–interpretive design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis involving kindergarten principals, teachers, and early childhood education supervisors in resource-constrained kindergartens. Data were analyzed using an interactive thematic analysis approach guided by the Adaptive Instructional Leadership framework. The findings reveal five interrelated leadership strategies: (1) pragmatically framing instructional vision under resource constraints, (2) enacting context-responsive academic supervision, (3) facilitating school-based professional learning as a substitute for formal development, (4) mediating curriculum implementation through contextual adaptation, and (5) sustaining instructional quality through relational and collaborative leadership practices. These strategies demonstrate that instructional leadership in kindergartens operates as a dynamic and adaptive process rather than a standardized set of practices. This study contributes to instructional leadership theory by foregrounding adaptation and contextual responsiveness as central mechanisms of leadership in early childhood education. The findings offer theoretical insights and practical implications for leadership development and policy initiatives to strengthen instructional leadership capacity in resource-constrained kindergarten settings

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of funding diversification and budget management efficiency on the quality of early childhood education in private PAUD institutions in Pangkalan Banteng District, Kotawaringin Barat Regency, Central Kalimantan. The background of this research lies in the financial challenges faced by private PAUD institutions, which often rely heavily on tuition fees as their primary source of funding, making them vulnerable to fluctuations in student enrollment and parents’ ability to pay. The objectives of this study are to analyze the effect of funding diversification, budget efficiency, and their simultaneous impact on educational quality. This research employs a quantitative approach with regression analysis, involving 60 respondents consisting of principals and treasurers from 30 private PAUD institutions. Data were collected through questionnaires and documentation during the 2025/2026 academic year. The findings indicate that funding diversification has a significant positive effect on educational quality, while budget efficiency also contributes substantially to improving institutional performance. Furthermore, the simultaneous influence of both variables demonstrates that sustainable financial management is crucial to enhancing the quality of early childhood education services.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) implemented by oil palm plantation companies in supporting education financing, access, and service quality in Sukamara Regency, Central Kalimantan. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using data obtained through observations, interviews, documentation, literature review, and regional education data. Data were analyzed through data condensation, data presentation, content analysis, comparative analysis, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that CSR contributes to education through the provision of nine free student shuttle buses, scholarships, educational facilities, support for partner schools, and teacher competency development programs involving 202 teachers at kindergarten, elementary, and junior secondary levels. Educational data indicate that Sukamara Regency has 47 public elementary schools with 602 teachers and 6,054 students, as well as two private/partner elementary schools with 38 teachers and 610 students. The findings further demonstrate that CSR helps reduce geographical and economic barriers while strengthening educational service capacity. However, the distribution of CSR benefits remains concentrated primarily in areas surrounding company operations. Therefore, stronger collaboration between local governments and companies is needed to improve the equity, targeting, sustainability, and effectiveness of CSR programs in supporting educational development in Sukamara Regency.
