Abstract

Vocational High Schools (SMK) play a crucial role in preparing a competent workforce ready to meet industrial challenges. However, the implementation of practicum methods faces various obstacles, particularly in terms of limited facilities. This study quantitatively examines the impact of practicum facilities on learning quality at SMK Negeri in Blora Regency. Through a data-driven approach, it aims to provide concrete recommendations for policymakers in enhancing vocational education effectively and sustainably. Using a quantitative correlational and ex post facto research approach, the study involved 383 vocational school teachers, with a sample of 196 respondents. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed for validity, reliability, normality, linearity, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity. The descriptive analysis shows that 20.92% of respondents rated the facilities as excellent, 36.73% as good, 26.53% as adequate, 11.22% as poor, and 4.59% as very poor The findings indicate that 85.7% of learning quality variation is influenced by practicum facilities, with an effective contribution of 84.54% and a relative contribution of 98.42%.. These results highlight the significant role of practicum facilities in improving learning outcomes and ensuring graduates' readiness for industrial demands.

Abstract

Background - The development of digital technology has brought significant changes to the field of education, especially in the learning process at the elementary school level. The use of educational technology has become an important strategy to improve learning quality, student engagement, and the effectiveness of content delivery. However, not all educational institutions, particularly in rural areas, have optimally integrated technology into the learning process. Therefore, it is essential to examine the extent to which the use of educational technology affects the quality of learning, particularly in public elementary schools in the Randublatung District. Purpose - This study aims to investigate the impact of using educational technology on the quality of learning at public elementary schools in Randublatung District. This research uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive analysis design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to teachers and students and analyzed using statistical techniques to examine the relationships between variables. Findings - The results show that the use of educational technology contributes significantly and positively to the improvement of learning quality, with an influence value of 82.4%. Technology integration has been proven to enhance student interaction and engagement and support the overall success of the teaching and learning process. Conclusions - The study concludes that the use of educational technology plays a crucial role in improving the quality of learning. Systematic adoption and training in technology use within the educational environment are necessary to achieve more effective and higher-quality learning outcomes. Novelty/Originality/Value The novelty of this research lies in its empirical evidence showing the substantial contribution of educational technology to learning quality in elementary schools located in rural areas, specifically in Randublatung. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of onboarding training for users (teachers and students) as a key factor in the successful integration of technology in education—an aspect rarely discussed in previous similar studies.

Abstract

Mutu pendidikan di Indonesia masih menjadi tantangan yang kompleks, terutama di tingkat sekolah dasar. Berbagai faktor memengaruhi kualitas pendidikan, salah satunya adalah peran kepala sekolah sebagai pemimpin pendidikan. Di Kecamatan Bogorejo, Kabupaten Blora, rendahnya mutu pendidikan tercermin dari hasil rapor pendidikan yang belum optimal dalam aspek literasi, numerasi, serta kualitas pembelajaran. Salah satu faktor penyebabnya adalah belum maksimalnya peran kepala sekolah dalam menjalankan fungsinya sebagai educator, manager, administrator, supervisor, leader, inovator, dan motivator. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sejauh mana peran kepala sekolah berpengaruh terhadap mutu pendidikan di sekolah dasar di Kecamatan Bogorejo. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode ex post facto. Sampel penelitian terdiri dari 113 guru sekolah dasar yang dipilih secara proporsional. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kuesioner, yang dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan inferensial dengan bantuan SPSS versi 22. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara peran kepala sekolah dan mutu pendidikan, dengan koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,704 yang termasuk dalam kategori kuat. Selain itu, hasil analisis regresi menunjukkan bahwa peran kepala sekolah berkontribusi sebesar 49,6% terhadap mutu pendidikan, sementara sisanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain seperti kompetensi guru, fasilitas sekolah, dan dukungan kebijakan. Hasil penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa kepala sekolah memiliki peran kunci dalam meningkatkan mutu pendidikan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan penguatan kompetensi kepala sekolah dalam kepemimpinan dan manajerial agar dapat menciptakan lingkungan pembelajaran yang lebih efektif dan berkualitas.
