Abstract

Situated in character-based education, the Indonesian Government mandates all teachers to incorporate moral values into school subjects. Teaching English to young learners (TEYL) is no exception. Little empirical evidence reports how school textbooks (e.g., language textbooks) discursively teach particular values explicitly and implicitly. To validate whether English for young learners (EYL) textbooks teach particular moral values, the present critical discourse study (CDA) reported in this article examines how moral content is discursively infused into EYL textbooks. Framed in Hallidayan Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) theory, it looks specifically at how particular moral values are represented in three nationally-adopted EYL textbooks through lexical choices, the representation of images, and selected texts that the textbook writers use to represent their attitudinal discourse. The findings show that the value of helping others is predominantly represented in the textbooks. The other dominant values encapsulated in the textbooks include politeness and caring. We conclude that the textbook writers place greater emphasis on such values as helping others, being polite, and caring in the textbooks in as much as they may want to teach these values at an early age.

Abstract

School Management Model Based on Community Participation HARMONY Approach to Improving School Quality. Objective: This study aims to develop and implement a school management model based on community participation using the HARMONY approach to improve the quality of secondary schools in Kepulauan Meranti Regency. The research seeks to assess the effectiveness of this model in enhancing school quality through comprehensive community involvement. Methods: The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal and vice principal of SMPN 1 Tebing Tinggi Barat and SMPN 2 Tebing Tinggi. Quantitative data were gathered through surveys involving various school stakeholders, such as teachers, students, and parents. Findings: The study’s results demonstrate that the implementation of a community participation-based school management model using the HARMONY approach significantly improves the quality of education in secondary schools in Kepulauan Meranti Regency. Data analysis reveals that effective school management has a significant impact on school quality, with a coefficient of 0.576. Community participation also shows a significant influence with a coefficient of 0.173. However, organizational culture does not significantly affect school quality and does not function as a strong mediator in the relationship between school management and community participation. Conclusion: The HARMONY approach standing for Holistic, Accountable, Responsive, Independent, Optimal, Normative, and Inclusive provides an innovative framework for integrating community participation into school management. This approach has the potential to enhance educational quality, especially in remote areas. The findings suggest that community-based school management is a viable solution for improving school performance in underdeveloped regions. Keywords: community participation, HARMONI approach, islands regency meranti, quality of education, school management.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpp.v14.i2.202487
