Abstract

Education is a process in developing one's own abilities and individual strengths. According to the Indonesian Dictionary, education is a process of changing the attitude and behavior of a person or group of people in an effort to mature human beings through teaching and training efforts. This study aims to analyze financing management in Babul Maghfirah Junior and Senior High School, Aceh Besar, as well as its implications for improving the quality of education. Using a qualitative approach and descriptive methods, this study explores the process of preparing School Activity Plans and Budgets (RKAS), the implementation of financing, as well as the challenges and supporting factors in school financing. The results of the study show that effective, transparent, and accountable financing management plays an important role in improving the quality of education in schools. In addition, the support from the government, parents, and school committees greatly determines the success of fund management and its allocation. This study recommends increasing cooperation between stakeholders in the management of education funds as well as improvements in the budgeting process to suit the real needs of schools.

Abstract

This study explores the application of situational leadership by principals in improving the quality of education in public senior high schools. This study is based on the importance of situational leadership in facing educational challenges, especially in improving the quality of teaching and supporting teacher professional development in the Merdeka Belajar era. The qualitative research method with a multi-site study type examines two different educational locations to compare situational leadership's implementation. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman analysis approach, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The study's findings indicate that principals apply situational leadership that is flexible and responsive to the needs and readiness of teachers. Principals use more directive and supportive leadership styles and give more freedom to experienced teachers. Applying this leadership style has been shown to increase motivation and quality of teaching and encourage continuous teacher professional development. Situational leadership based on the perspective of Hersey and Blanchard's theory can improve the quality of education. This study is expected to provide a deeper understanding of the importance of implementing situational leadership in Indonesian education. It suggests that other schools adjust their leadership style according to the needs and readiness of individuals to improve the quality of education effectively.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of principals in promoting and sustaining a disciplined culture among teachers in vocational high schools within West Aceh District, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative, descriptive research design, the study focuses on three main objectives: examining the specific disciplinary programs implemented by principals, exploring how these initiatives are evaluated for effectiveness, and identifying the challenges principals face in ensuring consistent discipline among teachers. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires distributed to teachers and semi-structured interviews conducted with principals, enabling a comprehensive understanding of both perspectives. Thematic analysis revealed that principals prioritize structured program implementation and regular evaluation as key strategies for managing discipline. Despite overall positive responses to the effectiveness of these initiatives, teachers highlighted several challenges, including inconsistent policy enforcement and varying levels of commitment, which hinder the establishment of a cohesive disciplinary environment. The findings suggest that while principals play a crucial role in shaping discipline, addressing specific challenges through additional resources and teacher engagement could further enhance policy adherence and effectiveness. This study provides valuable insights into the impact of leadership on school discipline and offers recommendations to strengthen disciplinary practices in vocational education settings.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the management strategies, implementation processes, and challenges of character education in boarding programs at two public high schools. Although national education policy emphasizes character development, empirical evidence on how such programs are planned, implemented, and evaluated in school settings remains limited. This study employed a qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results indicate that both schools systematically integrate character values into the curriculum, daily routines in the boarding school, and extracurricular activities through structured planning, implementation, and evaluation. However, significant challenges remain, such as the negative influence of mass media, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, low student motivation, and limited parental involvement. To address these challenges, the schools have implemented measures such as strengthening teacher leadership and capacity, improving facilities, developing extracurricular activities focused on character building, and increasing parental involvement through workshops and community programs. This study contributes to the theory and practice of character education in boarding schools by emphasizing the importance of context-responsive management strategies, strong stakeholder collaboration, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation.

​Objective: This study aims to analyze the competency model of Driving Teachers in improving the quality of learning at the junior high school level in disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost (3T) areas, especially in Simeulue Regency, Aceh Province. This study focuses on the integration of pedagogical, professional, social, and personality competencies supported by learning leadership and their impact on teacher professionalism and student learning outcomes. Methods: This study used a qualitative approach with a case study design involving 15 participants, including driving teachers, principals, and students from three schools in Simeulue Regency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model through the processes of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. Results: The results of the study show that the Driving Teacher model can transform the role of teachers from curriculum implementers to reflective, collaborative, and innovative learning leaders. Teachers experience improvements in lesson planning, classroom management, and reflection on learning outcomes, supported by a professional learning community and participatory school leadership. In addition, students’ motivation and engagement increased significantly. Novelty: This study presents an integrative conceptual model of teacher competence that connects reflective pedagogy with learning leadership in the context of limited resources. The results of the study expand the theoretical discourse on educational transformation in the 3T region by placing reflection and collaboration as the main mechanism for improving sustainable learning.​

Abstract

Teacher discipline remains a persistent challenge in many junior high schools and demands systematic management from school principals. This study explores principal management strategies for improving teacher discipline in public junior high schools in South Aceh Regency, Indonesia. Employing a descriptive qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis (e.g., attendance records, school regulations, and supervision notes). Participants were purposively selected to ensure information-rich perspectives and included two principals, six teachers, and two administrative staff from SMP Negeri 3 Trumon and SMP Negeri 4 Trumon Timur (N = 10). Data were analyzed thematically using an interactive process of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with trustworthiness strengthened through triangulation and member checking. The findings show that principals enact three interrelated strategies: (1) establishing and consistently enforcing clear disciplinary regulations (attendance, morning assembly, learning administration, and professional ethics); (2) applying a balanced reward–sanction system to reinforce compliance and responsibility; and (3) conducting continuous supervision through reminders, attendance monitoring, classroom observation, and periodic evaluation followed by coaching. These strategies were facilitated by effective communication, collaborative work culture, and supportive school policies, while limited resources and low teacher participation emerged as key constraints. Overall, integrated principal management contributes to a more orderly professional culture and supports improved school effectiveness in resource-constrained contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the planning, implementation, and evaluation of coaching-based academic supervision as an effort to improve teacher performance at the junior high school level. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the study involved 12 participants consisting of school principals, teachers, and school supervisors. Data were collected over a three-month period through observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis using purposive sampling. Data analysis followed an interactive model comprising data reduction, data display, and verification, supported by restatement, analytical description, and interpretation to capture patterns, relationships, and meanings within the supervision process. The findings reveal that (1) supervision planning is systematically conducted at the beginning of the academic year through deliberation, needs analysis, goal formulation, instrument preparation, and scheduling; (2) the implementation of coaching-based academic supervision follows three stages—pre-observation, classroom observation, and post-observation—emphasizing reflective dialogue and collaborative interaction; and (3) evaluation results are utilized to refine supervision programs, address teachers’ instructional challenges, and adjust coaching strategies to support continuous professional development. Overall, the study concludes that coaching-based academic supervision contributes to improved teacher performance through participatory planning, structured and supportive implementation, and reflective evaluation that fosters professional growth and sustainable instructional improvement.

Abstract

Technology integration in schools continues to face challenges related to inadequate infrastructure, unstable internet connectivity, and gaps in teachers’ digital competencies. This study aims to explore teachers’ perceptions and acceptance of technology use in enhancing professional competence amid these constraints in junior high schools. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the study was conducted at SMPN 1 Salang and SMPN 4 Salang, Simeulue Regency, over a three-month period. Eight participants, including principals, teachers, and school administrators, were selected using purposive sampling based on their direct involvement in educational technology use. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that teachers’ reception of technology is reflected in three key aspects: participation in technology-based training, shifts in attitudes from resistance to acceptance, and self-initiated learning activities. Despite these positive responses, teachers’ efforts remain constrained by limited technological facilities, uneven internet access, and varying levels of digital literacy. The study concludes that positive teacher reception plays a crucial role in strengthening professional competence, although sustained institutional support through continuous training, supportive policies, and infrastructure development is essential to optimize technology integration in schools.
