Abstract

Inclusive education implementation in resource-constrained primary schools requires effective leadership to overcome structural limitations. This study examines how transformational leadership by school principals improves educational services for students with special needs in contexts lacking specialized support personnel. Employing a qualitative case study design, this research investigated transformational leadership implementation at SDN Bergas Lor 02, Semarang Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the principal and six classroom teachers, three-month participant observations, and document analysis. Thematic analysis identified patterns across the four transformational leadership dimensions: idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. The principal systematically enacted transformational leadership through moral exemplarity establishing inclusive culture, inspirational messaging maintaining collective optimism despite resource constraints, facilitation of collaborative professional learning through structured sharing sessions, and differentiated support calibrated to individual teacher and student needs. Unexpected findings revealed the principal's strategic creation of peer mentoring networks and effective reframing of setbacks as learning opportunities. Findings demonstrate that transformational leadership dimensions operate synergistically to maximize human capital when material resources remain limited. The study contributes the concept of "productive recontextualization"—adapting leadership principles to resource-constrained contexts through low-cost mechanisms while maintaining theoretical fidelity. Results suggest leadership development represents a high-leverage strategy for advancing inclusive education in under-resourced settings.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an Inclusive Education Model Based on Stakeholder Collaboration to strengthen support services for students with special needs in Pangudi Luhur Elementary School Semarang. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design referring to the ADDIE model, involving needs analysis, model development, expert validation, and limited implementation. Data were collected through interviews, observations, document analysis, questionnaires, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with teachers, parents, school leaders, and special education staff. The expert validation results revealed that the model obtained a score of 91.4% for content validation and 84.3% for media validation, categorizing it as “highly feasible.” During implementation, the model was positively accepted by stakeholders, with an acceptance rate of 84.4% (teachers and school leaders) and 98.2% (parents). The findings conclude that the developed model effectively facilitates structured collaboration and strengthens inclusive practices in elementary schools.

Abstract

Bullying in elementary schools continues to be a significant concern, negatively impacting students' emotional well-being, social interactions, and academic engagement. In response, many schools in Indonesia have adopted the Child-Friendly School (CFS) program as a strategic initiative to foster a safe and inclusive learning environment. SDN Pleburan 01 Semarang is one such school dedicated to strengthening bullying prevention through effective child-friendly school management strategies. This study aims to analyze the approaches employed by SDN Pleburan 01 in managing a child-friendly school to prevent and address bullying. A qualitative research design was employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving the principal, teachers, students, and the CFS team. The findings indicate that the school has implemented comprehensive bullying prevention measures, including needs-based planning, integration of character-building activities, active involvement of stakeholders, and the use of technology such as the Si Galing application for anonymous reporting. The study also found a significant reduction in bullying incidents and improvements in students' sense of safety, emotional well-being, and participation in school activities. In conclusion, the research highlights that successful child-friendly school management requires thorough planning, collaborative execution, and continuous evaluation to ensure sustainable bullying prevention efforts in elementary schools.

Abstract

This research is intended to investigate the influence of transformational leadership, teachers’ pedagogical competence, and school collaboration with DUDIKA on the competency of graduates from public vocational high schools in Kendal Regency. A quantitative research design was employed, and the data were collected using questionnaires. The study population consisted of all teachers working in public vocational high schools across Kendal Regency, while the sample consisted of 217 teachers selected through proportional random sampling. The data analysis was conducted through descriptive statistical techniques, assumption testing, and hypothesis examination using both simple and multiple regression methods. The findings from the multiple regression analysis reveal that transformational leadership, teachers’ pedagogical competence, and school partnerships with DUDIKA simultaneously have a positive and significant influence on graduate competency, accounting for 48.2% of the variance. Nevertheless, the simultaneous analysis also revealed a methodological limitation. Although the overall regression model was statistically significant, the individual regression coefficients for teachers’ pedagogical competence and school partnerships with DUDIKA were not statistically significant when tested together in the multivariate model. This finding suggests the possibility of multicollinearity or overlapping explanatory effects among the independent variables, which may reduce the strength of their individual contributions when analyzed simultaneously.

Abstract

Tujuan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PKM) untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan guru di HIMPAUDI terkait prevensi kekerasan seksual anak (KSA) melalui pelatihan, memperoleh dukungan orang tua dalam menerapkan pendidikan seksualitas sebagai prevensi KSA, meningkatkan keterampilan pemanfaatan IPTEKS dalam kurikulum anti kekerasan seksual (KAKS) melalui penerapan Seri Animasi Miko Mila dan Buku Komik Berseri tentang Organ Reproduksi, dan mendampingi guru dalam menyusun kurikulum KAKS. PKM menggunakan pendekatan pembangunan komunitas berfokus pada pengembangan komunitas. PKM melibatkan HIMPAUDI Kota Semarang sebagai subjek dan obyek melibatkan partisipan dalam kegiatan PKM untuk meningkatkan perannya dalam pengembangan kelompok. PKM dilaksanakan 6 bulan. Tim PKM memberikan materi pendidikan seksual berupa pencegahan KSA di sekolah, penanganan KSA di sekolah dan masyarakat, serta pelaporan pengaduan KSA di sekolah dan masyarakat. Hasil PKM diperoleh bahwa terdapat 7-8 partisipan guru memilih netral dan satu partisipan tidak setuju dengan indikator pendampingan KAKS. Keempat indikator tersebut memerlukan perhatian lebih dari tim pendamping KAKS. Misalnya, guru memerlukan peningkatan pengetahuan tentang evaluasi dan cara melakukan evaluasi KAKS. Pada indikator elaborasi materi KAKS, terdapat satu partisipan (TA) yang belum mengetahui dan mampu mempraktikan cara elaborasi materi. Maka, perlu perbaikan dalam pendampingan KAKS terutama evaluasi, elaborasi materi, dan tindak lanjut dari KAKS.
