Methodology: This research employs a quantitative survey method to measure respondents’ perceptions and attitudes. It is categorized as confirmatory research, validating existing theoretical models by identifying the most influential variables affecting teacher performance. Additionally, it uses a correlational approach to measure the strength and direction of the relationships between the selected variables and teacher outcomes. A total of 242 respondents were selected using random sampling, and data were analyzed using path analysis to explore both direct and indirect effects. Main Findings: The study reveals that visionary leadership, managerial competence, and job satisfaction all exert significant direct effects on teacher performance. Among them, visionary leadership is identified as the most dominant contributor. Novelty/Originality of the Study: The novelty lies in the simultaneous and integrative investigation of leadership, managerial skills, and job satisfaction within a specific regional and institutional context. Unlike prior studies that often analyze these factors in isolation, this research offers a comprehensive causal model tailored to Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri, filling a gap in the literature on Islamic school leadership and performance enhancement.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study analyzes the direct and indirect effects of instructional supervision by the head of madrasah, organizational culture, and self-discipline on the performance of Madrasah Aliyah teachers in Gayo Lues Regency. Methodology: Using a quantitative approach with a causal model and involving 84 teachers selected through the Krejcie–Morgan sampling technique, this research employs path analysis to examine the structural relationships among the variables. Main Findings: The findings indicate that organizational culture has the strongest influence on teachers’ self-discipline (ρ = 0.436), while instructional supervision exerts a smaller but positive effect (ρ = 0.132). Teacher performance is significantly affected by instructional supervision (ρ = 0.597), organizational culture (ρ = 0.408), and self-discipline (ρ = 0.324). Although instructional supervision and organizational culture also influence teacher performance indirectly through self-discipline, these mediating effects are relatively small—0.044 and 0.132 respectively. The model fit analysis confirms that the proposed causal structure aligns well with the empirical data. This study contributes to educational management literature by offering a comprehensive model integrating supervision, culture, and self-discipline, and by establishing self-discipline as a partial mediator between organizational culture and teacher performance. Novelty/Originality of this study: The findings highlight the importance of strengthening supervisory practices, cultivating a positive organizational culture, and enhancing teacher discipline to improve professional performance in madrasahs. Overall, the study provides empirical evidence that can support the development of strategic policies to enhance teacher quality and accountability in Islamic educational institutions.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study evaluates the Junior High School Teacher Quality Improvement Training Program organized by the Gayo Lues Department of Education using Stufflebeam’s CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model to assess its relevance, implementation quality, and measurable outcomes. Methodology: Employing a qualitative evaluative design, the research involved teachers, principals, facilitators, and program organizers as key informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation, and analyzed descriptively to capture the program’s effectiveness across the four CIPP dimensions. Main Findings: The findings show that the program is highly relevant to teachers’ professional development needs, particularly in strengthening pedagogical and classroom management skills. Although the program benefited from competent facilitators, input evaluation revealed shortcomings in learning facilities and teaching media. The process evaluation indicated that training sessions were generally well-implemented, yet participant engagement and reflective practice require improvement. The product evaluation demonstrated meaningful gains in teachers’ pedagogical competence; however, the transfer of training into classroom practice remained partial due to limited follow-up support. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive application of the CIPP model to a rural district training program, offering a nuanced diagnostic framework that links systemic constraints with individual teacher outcomes an approach seldom used in remote Indonesian contexts. The results highlight the need for active learning strategies, improved infrastructure, and structured post-training mentoring to sustain instructional improvements and ensure continuous professional growth among junior high school teachers.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study investigates teacher quality management in Integrated Islamic Kindergartens in Central Aceh Regency by examining the processes of planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision across Islamic Kindergartens. Methodology: Using a qualitative multisite approach, data were gathered through interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed through systematic data condensation, display, and verification. Main Findings: The findings show that quality planning is guided by a synergy between institutional vision, mission, motto, and objectives with national education standards and JSIT (Jaringan Sekolah Islam Terpadu) guidelines, resulting in a balanced emphasis on academic competence, professional skills, and spiritual formation. Organizational quality is sustained through transparent structures, measurable task distribution, coordinated teamwork, and standardized operating procedures. Recruitment applies competency-based selection enriched with Islamic values, prioritizing Qur’anic mastery, character integrity, pedagogical expertise, and emotional maturity. Teacher development is implemented through Islamic andragogy, integrating professional training with spiritual nurturing via halaqah, mentoring, and routine religious studies. Supervision adopts a holistic model that evaluates academic performance, pedagogical practice, and spiritual consistency to ensure continuous improvement. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in the formulation of a hybrid teacher quality management model that fuses national quality assurance frameworks with JSIT principles, positioning moral goodness as the foundation, pedagogical quality as the institutional output, and educational excellence as the long-term goal. This model offers a new theoretical framework and practical reference for enhancing teacher quality in faith-based early childhood education institutions.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study investigates the direct and indirect effects of the head of madrasah’s charismatic leadership and teamwork on teachers’ normative commitment, with job satisfaction serving as a mediating variable. Methodology: Employing a quantitative approach with a survey design, data were collected from 101 teachers of State Islamic Elementary Schools (MIN) in Asahan Regency using proportional random sampling. Path analysis was applied to examine the causal relationships among variables. Main Findings: findings reveal that charismatic leadership and teamwork significantly influence teachers’ job satisfaction. Furthermore, both variables have direct positive effects on teachers’ normative commitment. Job satisfaction demonstrates the strongest direct effect on normative commitment and significantly mediates the influence of charismatic leadership and teamwork. These results indicate that teachers’ moral obligation and loyalty to their institutions are shaped not only by leadership quality and collaborative work culture but also by their level of satisfaction with work conditions and professional recognition. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study contributes to educational management literature by emphasizing normative commitment as a critical yet underexplored dimension of teacher commitment in madrasah contexts. Practically, the findings suggest that strengthening charismatic leadership practices, fostering effective teamwork, and improving job satisfaction are strategic pathways to enhancing teachers’ commitment and sustaining educational quality in Islamic elementary schools.
