Abstract

Data-driven management has become an essential approach in improving school quality amid increasing demands for accountability and evidence-based decision-making in education. However, empirical studies exploring how data-based management is implemented at the primary school level, particularly from a qualitative perspective, remain limited. This study aims to examine the implementation of data-driven management in improving educational quality at SDN Wangkalwetan, Kejayan District. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi- structured interviews with the principal and teachers, participatory observations, and document analysis related to school planning and evaluation. The findings reveal that data-driven management at SDN Wangkalwetan is implemented through a cyclical process involving data identification, collaborative data interpretation, program planning, implementation, and evaluation. School performance data are primarily utilized to guide instructional supervision, teacher development programs, and learning improvement initiatives. Nevertheless, the study also identifies challenges related to teachers’ data literacy and limited infrastructural support. This research contributes theoretically by enriching the discourse on data-driven educational leadership in primary education contexts and practically by offering insights for school leaders and policymakers in strengthening evidence-based school management practices.

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of the Digital School Program through the utilization of the GENIUS APP to enhance teacher performance at SDN Tamansari, Wonorejo District. The evaluation was conducted using the comprehensive CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model. A descriptive qualitative research method was applied, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. The findings reveal that, in terms of context, the program aligns with national digitalization policies and the school’s need for an efficient daily monitoring system. However, in the input aspect, limitations were identified in internet infrastructure and variations in teachers’ digital competencies. The implementation process encountered challenges in the form of resistance to change and suboptimal consistency in application usage. The product or outcomes of the program indicate improvements in administrative efficiency and digital documentation, although its impact on enhancing teachers’ pedagogical performance still requires strengthening. Key supporting factors include the principal’s commitment and training initiatives, while the main inhibiting factors are slow internet connectivity and dual workload demands. The implications of this study provide recommendations for program improvement, such as optimizing infrastructure support, ensuring continuous mentoring, and aligning the application with teachers’ actual workload, to ensure that technology truly serves as an enabler for improving the quality of educational management and teacher performance.

Abstract

Teachers' pedagogical competence is a key determinant of learning quality. However, preliminary observations at two elementary schools in Tosari indicated that teachers' pedagogical competence still needs improvement, as seen from the dominance of lecture methods, difficulties in designing innovative lesson plans, and limited integration of ICT. This study aims to analyze the implementation of teacher training programs in an effort to improve this pedagogical competence. The research uses a descriptive phenomenological qualitative approach, located at UPT SDN Podokoyo I Tosari. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document studies, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana and verified through triangulation. The findings show that program implementation refers to Edward III's framework, where factors of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure significantly influence. Needs-based and participatory training programs proved effective in improving teacher competence, especially in lesson planning, varied teaching methods, and the use of simple media. However, the sustainability of training impact requires systemic support such as ongoing mentoring and supportive school policies. This study concludes that well-planned and contextual training program implementation can be an effective strategy for teacher professional development at the elementary school level.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of the Quantum Teaching model TANDUR (Tumbuhkan–Alami–Namai–Demonstrasikan–Ulangi–Rayakan) on students’ motivation and psychomotor skills in learning the area of plane figures (triangles, squares, and rectangles) among fifth-grade elementary school students. A quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group was employed involving 50 students from two public elementary schools in Pasuruan Regency, East Java. The experimental group (n = 24) received instruction using the TANDUR model, while the control group (n = 26) followed conventional teaching methods. Data were collected through motivation questionnaires based on Keller’s ARCS model and psychomotor observation rubrics, then analyzed using descriptive statistics, normalized gain (N-gain), and independent samples t-test. Results showed a statistically significant improvement in both motivation (p < 0.05; N-gain = 0.68, moderate) and psychomotor skills (p < 0.01; N-gain = 0.73, high) in the experimental group compared to the control group. These findings suggest that the TANDUR-based Quantum Teaching model effectively enhances affective and psychomotor domains by engaging students in experiential, contextual, and celebratory learning activities aligned with Piaget’s concrete operational stage. This study contributes to the development of student-centered mathematics pedagogy in primary education.

Abstract

Teacher professionalism is a crucial element in determining the quality of education, requiring ongoing development through planned, systematic, and effective supervision activities. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the impact of educational supervision implementation on efforts to improve teacher professionalism in schools. The research method used was a literature review using a qualitative approach, by examining secondary data from various relevant academic sources over the past five years, involving school principals as supervisors and teachers as objects of supervision. Key stages of the study included library data collection, in-depth thematic analysis, and narrative synthesis of supervisory practices. Key findings indicate that educational supervision plays a significant role in optimizing aspects of planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning outcomes.
