Abstract

School principals have a strategic role in introducing entrepreneurship to teachers. This research aims to discover the program, strategies, and supporting factors and obstacles for school principals in introducing entrepreneurship in kindergarten at the Kuta Alam District Activity Center (PKG) in Banda Aceh. This research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques of interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The data analysis technique used is descriptive analysis. The research results showed that the program to introduce entrepreneurship had been prepared at the beginning of the semester, involving the principal, senior teachers, and supervisors. Still, they were not complete and not well-detailed. The principal's strategy for introducing entrepreneurship is to involve all school personnel. This activity is part of the implementation of P5 in the independent curriculum, such as implementing market day. This study contributes by providing insight into the importance of careful planning and structural support to strengthen the implementation of entrepreneurship programs in early childhood education. The implication is the need for policies that encourage ongoing training for teachers and adequate funding for the program's success to build an entrepreneurial culture from an early age in the educational environment.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of participative leadership by school principals and organizational communication on teacher performance at junior high schools (SMP) in Banda Aceh. The research uses a quantitative method with an ex post facto approach. The sample consists of 76 teachers proportionally selected from six public junior high schools accredited A and B, using Slovin's formula. Data were collected through closed questionnaires and documentation and then analyzed using descriptive statistics, linear regression tests, and validity tests with the help of SPSS 26.0. The results of the study show that participative leadership by the principal and organizational communication have a significant influence on teacher performance. The significance value from the regression test indicates that both participative leadership (sig = 0.005) and organizational communication (sig = 0.000) significantly affect teacher performance. Additionally, the F-test also shows that both independent variables simultaneously have a significant influence on teacher performance (F = 20.9, sig = 0.000). This study emphasizes the importance of participative leadership and good organizational communication in improving teacher performance at the junior high school level, particularly in Banda Aceh.

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

Teacher motivation is a crucial determinant of learning quality; therefore, the principal's role as an educational manager is highly significant. This study provides new insight into how principals integrate democratic and transformational leadership practices to sustain teacher motivation in regional schools. Specifically, it examines the principals' efforts to optimize school management to enhance teacher motivation at Junior High Schools (SMPs) in Tapaktuan District, South Aceh Regency. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with principals, vice principals, and teachers, complemented by observation and document analysis. The data were analyzed using an interactive analysis model, with source triangulation ensuring validity. Findings reveal that the optimization of principal management is achieved through three key dimensions: (1) the implementation of democratic and transformational leadership styles, (2) the development of teacher professionalism through training, mentoring, and collaborative reflection, and (3) the creation of a positive, collegial, and motivating school culture. The study's novelty lies in demonstrating how participatory, innovative, and human-centered management approaches can effectively enhance teacher motivation in regional schools, where challenges often differ from those in urban settings. These findings enrich the educational management literature and offer practical recommendations for school leaders and policymakers on designing sustainable management strategies to strengthen teacher motivation and promote continuous improvement in educational quality.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the application of situational leadership of elementary school principals in the archipelago to strengthen teacher professionalism and improve the quality of learning. This study focuses on the three main dimensions of situational leadership, namely diagnostic, adaptive, and professional strengthening, as reflective leadership models relevant to the context of education with limited resources. Method: This study used a descriptive qualitative approach involving three elementary schools in Simeulue Regency, Aceh Province, Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies, and then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña interactive model, which included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The validity of the data was strengthened through the triangulation of sources and methods. Results: The results of the study show that school principals have diagnostic skills in recognizing teacher readiness through reflective, supervision, and open communication. The adaptive dimension is reflected in the principal’s flexibility in adjusting the leadership style from directing to delegating based on the teacher's level of competence. The dimension of professional strengthening can be seen through the role of school principals as mentors, facilitators, and motivators who foster collaboration and appreciation of teacher innovation. These three dimensions form a reflective leadership cycle that encourages the creation of a collaborative learning environment responsive to the context of island schools. Novelty: This model highlights that leadership effectiveness relies not only on the appropriateness of leadership style, but also on teachers’ contextual sensitivity, empathy, and sustained professional growth, forming a holistic and human-centered approach to educational leadership.
