Abstract

This research aims to investigate the impact of targeted instructional technique on students' paragraph writing abilities. The primary objective is to determine whether implementing Major Supporting Sentence (MASS) and Minor Supporting Sentence (MISS) techniques can significantly enhance the completeness of students' paragraph writing. The research employs a pre-experimental design, involving a one-group pre-test and post-test approach to assess the effectiveness of the treatment. Initially, students’ paragraph writing abilities were evaluated via a pre-test, which established a baseline for their competencies across various writing dimensions. The subsequent treatment, which included explicit instruction in placing MASS and MISS within paragraph writing. Post-treatment analysis revealed a significant enhancement in students' abilities to organize and articulate their thoughts in writing. The results indicated that the implementation of MASS and MISS not only improved the depth of their content but also the overall coherence and flow of their paragraphs. Statistical analysis demonstrated a substantial increase in post-test scores compared to pre-test scores, suggesting that the instructional techniques effectively addressed the weaknesses previously observed in student writing. Moreover, the effectiveness of the MASS and MISS techniques illustrates the potential for structured approaches to transform students' writing experiences

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the principal’s management strategies in improving student achievement at MI Darul Ulum, Ngaliyan District, Semarang City. Student achievement is an important indicator of the success of educational institutions in achieving educational goals. In this context, the school principal plays a strategic role in formulating policies, managing school resources, and creating a conducive learning environment for students. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, the school committee, parents, and students as research informants. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive model consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The validity of the data was ensured through source triangulation, technique triangulation, and time triangulation. The results show that the principal’s management strategies in improving student achievement are implemented through three main stages: strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and strategy control. In the formulation stage, the principal conducts a school needs analysis and formulates programs to improve student achievement through participatory planning involving various stakeholders. In the implementation stage, the school carries out academic and non-academic programs such as additional tutoring, remedial learning, enrichment activities, and extracurricular programs to develop students’ potential. In the control stage, the principal conducts monitoring, evaluation, and follow-up actions to ensure the effectiveness of educational programs. The findings indicate that systematic, collaborative, and sustainable management strategies implemented by the principal can improve both academic and non-academic student achievement. These findings are expected to provide insights for educational institutions in developing effective school management strategies to enhance student achievement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of information and communication technology (ICT) utilization, community partnerships, and financial management transparency on the quality of school management. This study employed a quantitative, explanatory survey design. The sample consisted of 123 respondents selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the partial and simultaneous effects of independent variables. The results showed that all variables had a positive and significant effect, both partially and simultaneously, accounting for 78.1% of the quality of school management, with ICT utilization as the most dominant factor. This study contributes by offering an integrated, digital, collaborative, and accountable governance model to improve the quality of school management. This study suggests that implementing an integrated, digital, collaborative, and accountable governance model can improve the overall effectiveness of school management. Schools are advised to maximize the use of ICT, strengthen collaboration among stakeholders, and establish transparent accountability systems to support faster, better decision-making.
