Abstract

This study explores the role of the school principal in transforming school culture through the implementation of character education at SD Negeri 01 Doro, a primary school in Doro District, Pekalongan Regency, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The research reveals that the school principal plays a pivotal role in integrating character education into the school's curriculum, extracurricular activities, and daily routines. Through strategic planning, the principal has successfully embedded values such as discipline, responsibility, and cooperation into the school's culture. The study highlights the importance of leadership in creating a positive school environment that supports character development, while also identifying challenges such as limited time and resources for teachers. The findings suggest that with consistent leadership and involvement of the entire school community, significant improvements in both student behavior and academic performance can be achieved. This case study provides valuable insights into how character education can be a powerful tool in reshaping school culture and enhancing the holistic development of students.

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine how transformational leadership is implemented in primary and secondary schools in Semarang Regency. This study used mixed methods, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study involved 71 questionnaire respondents and 20 interview informants, consisting of principals and teachers from primary and secondary schools. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and thematic analysis of questionnaire responses. The analysis showed that principals in primary and secondary schools were superior in three of the four dimensions of transformational leadership: inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. This indicates that principals in primary and secondary schools were more successful in building team spirit, encouraging innovation, and providing individual attention to teachers. However, in the idealized influence dimension, the differences were very small, indicating that the integrity and exemplary behavior of principals were almost equal in both types of schools..

Abstract

The quality of learning in schools is shaped by several key factors, including the principal's leadership style, school culture, and teacher professionalism. This research aims to examine the individual and combined effects of these factors on the learning quality in public junior high schools in the Kendal region. Using a quantitative approach, the study collected data from 118 respondents across 4 schools through observations and questionnaires. The findings indicate that (1) transformational leadership significantly influences the quality of learning, accounting for 73.3% of its variation. (2) School culture also plays a crucial role, explaining 68.9% of the variation in learning quality. (3) Teacher professionalism is another important factor, contributing 73.0% to the variation in learning outcomes. (4) When combined, transformational leadership, school culture, and teacher professionalism together account for 78.7% of the variation in learning quality. To improve learning outcomes, it is recommended that school principals focus on developing a transformational leadership style through ongoing training. Additionally, schools should actively nurture a positive and strong culture by engaging the entire educational community, including teachers, students, and parents. Teachers are encouraged to enhance their professionalism through structured training, continuous personal development, and fostering a high level of commitment to their teaching responsibilities.

Abstract

Despite growing policy emphasis on positive discipline in Indonesian schools, empirical evidence on leadership predictors of discipline culture remains limited. This study examines whether principals' transformational leadership is associated with positive discipline culture in Indonesian public primary schools. Using a quantitative ex post facto (correlational) survey design, data were collected from 130 teachers across 20 public primary schools using proportionate stratified random sampling to ensure school-level representation. Teachers completed validated Likert-scale questionnaires measuring transformational leadership (36 items; α = .975) and positive discipline culture (36 items; α = .975). Simple linear regression indicated that transformational leadership significantly predicted positive discipline culture (R² = .579; B = 0.718; p < .001), representing a large effect size (f² = 1.375). This study contributes district-level evidence positioning positive discipline culture as a proximal organizational outcome sensitive to transformational leadership behaviors. Implications for principal professional development, leadership coaching, and district-level supervision are discussed. The cross-sectional, self-report design limits causal inference and generalizability.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of teachers’ pedagogical competence on learning quality in public elementary schools in Tanggungharjo Subdistrict, Grobogan Regency. Employing a quantitative correlational design, the study involved 137 teachers selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires measuring pedagogical competence and learning quality, and were analyzed using Pearson correlation and simple linear regression with SPSS. The findings reveal a positive and significant relationship between pedagogical competence and learning quality (r = 0.832; p < 0.001), indicating a very strong association. The coefficient of determination shows that pedagogical competence contributes 69.3% to the variance in learning quality. The regression equation (Y = 27.769 + 1.045X) suggests that improvements in pedagogical competence are directly followed by increases in learning quality. These results highlight the critical role of pedagogical competence as a key determinant of instructional effectiveness and emphasize the importance of targeted professional development programs to enhance teaching quality in elementary education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of academic supervision and work motivation on the long-term development of teacher professionalism in elementary education. Using a quantitative approach with a survey method, the study population consisted of elementary school teachers in Purwodadi District, Grobogan, Central Java, Indonesia, with a sample of 220 teachers selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation and linear regression to examine the effect of each variable on teacher professionalism. The results show that academic supervision has a positive and significant relationship with teacher professionalism (correlation coefficient of 0.512 and contribution of 26.2%), while work motivation also has a positive and significant relationship (correlation coefficient of 0.407 and contribution of 16.6%). These findings indicate that improving the quality of academic supervision conducted by school principals and strengthening teachers' work motivation play an essential role in enhancing teacher professionalism. This study provides empirical insights that can be used to develop strategies for the sustainable improvement of teacher professionalism. However, the study has limitations related to variables not explored, and further research is suggested to include additional external factors that may affect teacher professionalism.

Abstract

This research explores a comprehensive model of Primary School Management Quality by analyzing the contributions of academic supervision, teachers' professional competence, and school leadership. Using a quantitative approach, data were gathered from 145 primary school teachers in Kedungjati chosen through purposive sampling. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from participants. The instrument developed from established literature, included several constructs such as academic supervision, teacher professional competence, school leadership, and school management quality. Each construct was evaluated using multiple indicators adapted from previous studies and measured on a five-point Likert scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Before testing the hypotheses, the instrument's validity and reliability were assessed. The findings indicated that all items were valid and reliable, with Cronbach’s alpha values surpassing 0.80 for each construct. Additionally, classical assumption tests, including normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and linearity, confirmed that the data were suitable for multiple linear regression analysis. However, school leadership did not exhibit a statistically significant direct effect at the 95% confidence level. Nonetheless, the simultaneous test revealed that the three variables collectively enhance the model's explanatory power, with an R² value of 0.792. These results imply that Primary School Management Quality is mainly influenced by instructional supervision and teacher competence, while school leadership might function through indirect or contextual pathways. This study offering empirical evidence on the integrated yet distinct roles of essential school-level factors and provides practical insights for supervisors, school principals, and education policymakers.
