Abstract

This study examines the influence of facilities and infrastructure management, principal communication, and work motivation on teacher performance in public junior high schools in Maro Sebo Ulu District, Batang Hari Regency, Indonesia. Teacher performance has become a critical concern in educational management because it directly affects instructional quality and the achievement of educational objectives. Employing a quantitative explanatory research design, this study involved all 132 teachers in the district using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. Prior to hypothesis testing, validity, reliability, normality, multicollinearity, and linearity tests were conducted to ensure the quality of the data and the suitability of the regression model. The findings reveal that facilities and infrastructure management, principal communication, and work motivation each have a positive and significant effect on teacher performance. Principal communication emerged as the strongest predictor of teacher performance and demonstrated a substantial influence on teacher work motivation. Facilities and infrastructure management contributed positively to both teacher motivation and performance, although its effect was comparatively smaller. Furthermore, work motivation significantly enhanced teacher performance, indicating its role as an important psychological mechanism linking organizational support and professional effectiveness. Simultaneously, the three independent variables explained 36.0% of the variance in teacher performance. The study concludes that improving teacher performance requires an integrated management approach that combines effective leadership communication, supportive resource management, and sustained efforts to strengthen teacher motivation. These findings contribute to educational management literature by highlighting the strategic role of leadership communication in fostering teacher effectiveness and organizational performance.

Abstract

Background: Medical kinesthetic skills are an essential competency in Vocational High School (SMK) education in the health sector that requires precise procedural mastery, so effective learning innovations are needed through the use of video-based learning resources supported by self-regulated learning behavior.Aims: This study aims to analyze the effect of the use of learning videos and self-regulated learning on the medical kinesthetic skills of vocational school students in the health sector.Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-cut explanatory design involving 200 students of SMK Fania Salsabila Jambi City. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) to test the direct and indirect relationships between variables.Results: The results showed that the use of video learning had a significant positive effect on self-regulated learning (β = 0.728; f² = 1.128), and self-regulated learning had a strong effect on medical kinesthetic skills (β = 0.655; f² = 0.598). However, the direct influence of video on kinesthetic skills was relatively small (β = 0.201; f² = 0.056), suggesting that self-regulated learning plays a key mediating role.Conclusion: These findings reinforce the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning that the effectiveness of video depends on the active involvement of students. Thus, the integration of instructional video design and independent learning strategies is key in optimizing the learning of procedural skills in vocational schools in the health sector.

Abstract

The study aims to comprehensively explore thesis supervision from EFL undergraduate students perspectives. To be more specific, the present study investigates the challenges faced by EFL students and the strategies they used to overcome them while under thesis supervision. To meet the purposes of this study, a qualitative research design with a case study approach was used. Data were collected from 10 final-year students using in-depth interviews and audio recording techniques. The results drawn from the thematic analysis (Braun Clarke, 2006) indicates that EFL undergraduate students faced both internal and external challenges. Internal challenges included students lack of motivation, lack of confidence, and poor time management, whereas external challenges were insufficient support from supervisors, supervisors harsh feedback and comments, change of supervisor, and the internet and technology problems. In terms of overcoming strategies, the students mainly utilized the three strategies to cope with their challenges in the process of thesis supervision: 1) self-management (managing the study, self-study, maintaining positive motivation, doing positive and enjoyable activities, and being proactive), 2) academic and peer support (supervisor support, lecturer support, and peer support), and 3) technological support (language application, referencing application, and search for stable connection). These results suggest that the issues pertaining to thesis supervision warrant more attention and have a major influence on students progress in completing theses.

Abstract

Background: The need for adaptive methods in English language learning has driven the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT and Gemini AI to overcome the limitations of personalized feedback in conventional methods. Teachers must be equipped to guide students in utilizing AI as a catalyst for inquiry-based learning and creative problem-solving, rather than merely generating content. Aims: Utilizing the UTAUT framework, this research investigates the factors driving AI adoption in English language education. It examines how Effort Expectancy (EE), Social Influence (SI), and Facilitating Conditions (FC) shape students' Behavioral Intention (BI), while also exploring the roles of both BI and FC in determining students' actual use (AB) of AI tools. Methods: To execute this quantitative framework, a survey was deployed to collect data from 171 junior high school (SMP) students in Jambi City, which was then analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS). Results: The empirical analysis indicates that the measurement model (outer model) faces significant validity and reliability issues. This is demonstrated by a near-complete failure in discriminant validity, with nine of the ten construct-pair Heterotrait-Monotrait Ratios (HTMT) exceeding 1.00, and low convergent validity for the FC and AB constructs. Due to highly overlapping perceptions among adolescent respondents, the robustness of the resulting structural relationships (inner model) cannot be fully generalized.Conclusion: This study concludes that the standard UTAUT instrument cannot be directly applied to minors. Deep linguistic simplification and contextual adaptation are required to ensure the instrument is relevant and accurately understood by middle school students.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between student motivation and self-regulated learning strategies among Malaysian boarding school students, using self-determination theory (SDT) as its theoretical foundation. A total of 328 form four students from four northern Malaysian boarding schools participated. Using a validated version of the motivated strategies for learning questionnaire (MSLQ) and analyzed through second-order partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), results revealed a significant positive relationship between motivational beliefs, especially self-efficacy and intrinsic value, and self-regulated learning strategies. The study’s novelty lies in validating a culturally adapted, second-order motivation model tailored to Malaysian boarding schools. Notably, the research isolates the mediating effect of intrinsic motivation on self-regulation within a high-pressure, collectivist setting, extending SDT’s applicability. However, limitations lie in the use of a cross-sectional design and dependence on self-reported data, and regional focus. Future studies should adopt longitudinal designs, consider diverse school types, and integrate perspectives from teachers or parents to strengthen validity. Including objective academic performance metrics may offer deeper insight. This research affirms the relevance of SDT in Malaysia’s education system and provides a validated framework linking motivation to strategic learning. The findings support evidence-based pedagogical strategies and align with sustainable development goal (SDG) 4 on quality education and goal 10 on reduced inequalities, promoting for fair and motivation-enhancing environments of learning.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of school effectiveness, knowledge management, and school-based budgeting on teachers’ work motivation in educational settings. The research employed a quantitative approach with a non-experimental survey design (ex post facto). The sample consisted of 207 teachers from various schools in Jambi Province. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to examine the relationships among the study variables. The results indicate that the proposed model meets the criteria for good validity and reliability. Furthermore, all three independent variables have positive and statistically significant effects on teachers’ work motivation. Specifically, knowledge management contributes to increased motivation through processes of knowledge sharing and professional competence development. School effectiveness and school-based budgeting enhance teacher motivation by strengthening managerial systems, increasing teacher participation, and promoting transparency in school resource management. These findings confirm that improving school effectiveness, optimizing knowledge management practices, and implementing school-based budgeting are key determinants in fostering sustainable teacher work motivation and enhancing overall educational quality.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of principal leadership and emotional intelligence on teachers’ work motivation and performance. Employing a quantitative explanatory method, the research involved a sample of 220 senior high school teachers in Sarolangun Regency. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that principal leadership (β = 0.505) and teachers’ emotional intelligence (β = 0.404) have significant positive effects on work motivation. Both variables also exert direct positive effects on teacher performance. Notably, work motivation emerges as the strongest predictor of performance (β = 0.706) and serves as a key mediating variable that strengthens the indirect effects of leadership and emotional intelligence on performance. These findings suggest that improving teacher performance requires strategies that extend beyond enhancing leadership practices and emotional competencies to include the systematic cultivation of intrinsic motivation. Accordingly, this study recommends that teacher development policies integrate emotional intelligence and transformational leadership training to foster a school climate that supports optimal teacher motivation and performance.
