Abstract

Purpose –This study addresses this gap by examining how an empowerment-oriented school culture strengthens teacher professionalism through CPD in public junior high schools.Methodology – This study employed a qualitative, multi-site case study design across three public junior high schools (SMPN 1, SMPN 3, and SMPN 4 Marabahan) in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with principals and teachers, nonparticipant observations of CPD practices, and document analysis of school policies and professional development programs. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman's interactive model, involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with single-site and cross-site thematic analysis to identify patterns and contextual variations.Findings – An empowerment-oriented school culture—characterized by shared values, participatory decision-making, collegial trust, and psychological safety—acts as a key mediating mechanism between CPD and teacher professionalism. When teachers are actively involved in designing and implementing CPD, professional development shifts from isolated training activities to embedded learning practices. This condition enhances teachers' professional agency, reflective practice, instructional innovation, and collaborative learning through professional learning communities, peer mentoring, and reflective supervision.Contribution – This study contributes to the literature by positioning empowerment-oriented school culture as an active mediator linking CPD to teacher professionalism. The findings suggest that empowering school environments is essential for fostering meaningful, context-responsive, and sustainable professional development.

Abstract

Purpose –This study explores the moral and pedagogical dimensions of teacher empowerment within the unique ecosystem of Indonesian boarding-based madrasahs. In these faith-oriented learning environments, educators are not only knowledge transmitters but also moral architects, shaping students' ethical consciousness and communal identity.Methodology – Employing a qualitative multiple case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis across three boarding-based madrasahs in South Kalimantan.Findings – The findings reveal that teacher empowerment in these settings transcends administrative or instructional authority, evolving instead into a moral praxis grounded in Islamic values, reflective mentorship, and collective spiritual routines such as Qur’an recitation and muhasabah (self-reflection). Educators exercise moral agency through daily interactions in the dormitory, reinforcing discipline, empathy, and self-accountability. Leadership strategies—such as participatory mentoring, ethical modeling, and arts-based religious practices—serve as integral mechanisms for cultivating a holistic moral environment.Contribution – This study contributes to the growing discourse on teacher empowerment by highlighting how faith-driven moral leadership can be both contextually rooted and pedagogically transformative. It argues that moral empowerment is essential for sustaining ethical schooling cultures, particularly in residential educational settings where learning and living converge. The implications extend toward rethinking teacher development frameworks that integrate spirituality, reflective practice, and community-based moral agency.
