Abstract

This study describes and analyzes the construction of transformational leadership among high school (SMA) principals in Raja Ampat Regency and identifies determinant factors shaping that construction within an archipelagic and remote-area setting. The research employs a qualitative case study design and applies grounded-theory procedures to generate an empirically grounded leadership construction model. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, involving principals as main informants and teachers as supporting informants. Findings show that transformational leadership is constructed through eight interrelated dimensions manifested in daily leadership practices: (1) work direction, (2) communication of vision and mission, (3) trust building, (4) creativity development, (5) motivation provision, (6) role modeling, (7) optimism cultivation, and (8) instilling pride in the school. The construction of transformational leadership is influenced by two groups of determinant factors: internal factors (personal values, motivation, experience, competence, and self-reflection) and external factors (training, teacher support, professional interactions, educational policy, and the socio-cultural context of the archipelago). The study contributes a contextual leadership construction model relevant for remote and island-based education systems and offers implications for principal capacity development and policies to improve educational quality in geographically constrained regions.

Abstract

Micro teaching assessment plays a strategic role in preparing prospective teachers to develop professional teaching competencies. However, in many teacher education institutions, the assessment process is still conducted manually, inconsistently, and without adequate integration into institutional quality assurance systems. These limitations reduce the effectiveness of assessment as a tool for educational management and continuous improvement. This study aims to develop and evaluate a Micro Teaching Assessment Information System based on the PPEPP cycle (Planning, Implementation, Evaluation, Control, and Improvement) to support more systematic, transparent, and accountable assessment management. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach consisting of needs analysis, system design, prototype development, expert validation, field testing, and product revision. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, and system usability testing, and were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics as well as thematic analysis. The results indicate that the developed system achieved high levels of feasibility and usability, improved assessment efficiency, standardized evaluation procedures, enhanced the quality of feedback, and enabled real-time monitoring of student performance. The study concludes that the PPEPP-based assessment information system provides an effective technological solution for strengthening micro teaching management, supporting data-driven decision-making, and promoting sustainable quality improvement in teacher education.

Abstract

This study investigates the quality of Human Resource Development (HRD) in Minahasa Regency, Indonesia, focusing on the interrelated dimensions of education, health, and economic welfare within the context of local governance. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, with data collected through interviews, field observations, and document analysis across 25 districts. The findings reveal that despite the steady improvement of the Human Development Index (HDI), significant disparities remain in access to education, healthcare services, skilled labor distribution, and digital infrastructure. The study identifies key challenges, including fragmented inter-agency coordination, limited budgetary support, and a persistent mismatch between educational outcomes and labor market demands. In addition, weaknesses in existing monitoring and evaluation systems were found to constrain evidence-based policymaking and program effectiveness. This research proposes strategic measures to strengthen HRD governance, such as enhancing cross-sector collaboration, optimizing resource allocation, expanding vocational and technology-oriented training, and developing integrated monitoring mechanisms. The study contributes to the literature on regional HRD by offering an empirical and contextualized framework for improving human capital development in decentralized governance settings and emerging regions.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of e-learning in the Professional Teacher Education Program (PPG) at Manado State University using the CIPPO evaluation model, which consists of Context, Input, Process, Product, and Outcome components. The rapid transition to digital learning environments in higher education requires systematic evaluation to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of e-learning practices, particularly in teacher professional development programs. A mixed-method approach was employed, involving quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with PPG students, lecturers, and program administrators. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the context component demonstrates strong institutional support and policy alignment, while the input component reveals adequate infrastructure but limited digital pedagogical competencies among some instructors. The process evaluation highlights the need for more interactive instructional strategies and consistent learning management system utilization. Product evaluation shows positive student performance and engagement, although variations exist across courses. Outcome analysis suggests that e-learning contributes to improved professional competence, digital literacy, and learning flexibility. The study concludes that the CIPPO model provides a comprehensive framework for assessing e-learning implementation and identifying areas for continuous improvement. Recommendations include strengthening lecturer training, enhancing technological infrastructure, and developing standardized e-learning guidelines to optimize the quality of PPG e-learning programs.
