Abstract

This study aims to describe the principal’s leadership in improving teacher performance at SD Negeri 1 Kali Deras, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors of the Principal’s leadership in improving the quality of teacher performance. Through a qualitative case study approach, this study aims to describe in detail the perspective of the Principal’s leadership in improving teacher performance. This study uses observation, interviews, and document studies to collect data. The data obtained were then analyzed through the process of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity testing was carried out using triangulation techniques. The results of this study indicate that: 1) The principal’s leadership is quite good in improving teacher performance. They provide coaching, supervision, encouragement or motivation, and evaluation of teacher performance. The assessment of teacher performance shows quite satisfactory results, especially in planning, implementing, and evaluating learning; 2) the supporting factor is the strong support and motivation from the principal. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors include the lack of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) projectors and internet access, minimal teacher skills in managing classes and using various learning methods, and lack of discipline among teachers. The research results recommend that principals make improvements and provide guidance to teachers, so that the principal’s leadership in improving teacher performance can be implemented optimally.

Abstract

Innovation in learning program management is a key element in improving educational effectiveness. Innovation is defined as a new idea or practice that is accepted by an individual or group, while management is described as the art and science of organizing resources to achieve goals. Learning is understood as a process of interaction between teachers and students that results in behavioral changes. In the context of learning program management, the principal acts as an effective manager, ensuring that resources are managed optimally in accordance with the principles of effectiveness, efficiency, and economy. The definition of school-based management emphasizes greater autonomy for schools to innovate in resource management, with community participation as a determining factor for success. Management functions, including planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising, must be applied carefully to achieve the educational goals that have been set.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the principal’s strategies in planning, implementing, and evaluating Merdeka Curriculum and its contribution to improving the quality of education at SD Negeri 3 Margo Bhakti, Mesuji District, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. As the first School leader (Sekolah Penggerak) in the area, SDN 3 Margo Bhakti has emerged as a pioneer and reference point in educational transformation, with the highest number of students among nearby elementary schools. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed to explore the leadership strategies adopted by the school principal in navigating the challenges and opportunities of Merdeka Curriculum implementation. The findings show that the principal’s strategy is organized into three main steps: planning, which uses SWOT analysis and matches the school’s goals; implementation, which focuses on teamwork among teachers, technology use, community participation, and clear budget management; and evaluation, which happens regularly through supervision and analysis of academic data. Merdeka Curriculum has greatly improved the quality of education at the school, making learning more flexible, enjoyable, and meaningful, while also promoting character development through the Pancasila Student Profile. Additionally, teachers receive ongoing training, mentoring, support from Merdeka Mengajar platform, and varied teaching methods. With strong leadership and steady execution, SDN 3 Margo Bhakti has successfully built an innovative, inclusive, and forward-looking learning environment.
