Abstract

Teacher quality is a cornerstone of educational excellence, and teaching skill, the practical ability to plan, implement, manage, and evaluate learning effectively, remains a critical yet underexplored outcome variable in Indonesian school management research. Empirical evidence consistently highlights that both school leadership and teacher professional competence are key determinants of instructional quality, yet their combined influence on teaching skills has received limited quantitative investigation, particularly in the North Sulawesi regional context. This study aimed to examine the influence of principal leadership style and professional competence, both individually and simultaneously, on teachers' teaching skills in senior high schools in Tomohon City. This research used A quantitative research design, with simple and multiple regression analysis was employed. A proportionate stratified random sample of 106 teachers was drawn from a population of 145 teachers across five senior high schools in Tomohon City. Data were collected using validated Likert-scale questionnaires (Cronbach's α: 0.942, 0.812, and 0.885 for teaching skill, leadership style, and professional competence, respectively) and analyzed using SPSS version 25. The results of this research are that principal leadership style significantly influenced teaching skills (r = 0.597; R² = 0.356; F = 57.458; p < 0.001), explaining 35.6% of the variance. Professional competence demonstrated a stronger individual effect (r = 0.660; R² = 0.435; F = 80.054; p < 0.001), accounting for 43.5% of the variance. When both predictors were included simultaneously in a multiple regression model, they jointly explained 50.8% of the variance in teaching skills (R = 0.713; R² = 0.508; F = 53.211; p < 0.001), with the regression equation Ŷ = 6.468 + 0.293(X₁) + 0.536(X₂). This study concluded that both principal leadership style and teacher professional competence are significant and positive predictors of teaching skills, with the combined model providing the strongest explanatory power. This study implies that school policymakers and principals should adopt a synergistic approach that simultaneously strengthens adaptive leadership practices and invests in continuous professional competence development programs to optimally enhance classroom teaching quality.

Abstract

General Background The rapid development of digital technology requires structured systems to support sustainable cultural heritage preservation through data-driven approaches. Specific Background In Minahasa, cultural assets such as ceremonies and traditional clothing face challenges due to limited analytical systems for prioritization, as existing platforms mostly function as static repositories. Knowledge Gap Previous studies rarely integrate multiple Multi-Criteria Decision Making methods simultaneously in cultural preservation contexts, and cross-validation between SAW and TOPSIS remains limited. Aims This study aims to design and implement a web-based Decision Support System to determine preservation priorities of Minahasa cultural heritage using SAW and TOPSIS methods. Results The system, developed using the waterfall model and validated through testing, shows consistent ranking results, with the Waruga Traditional Funeral Ceremony identified as the highest priority, followed by Kabasaran Traditional Clothing, while minor variations appear in mid-ranked alternatives. Novelty The study introduces a comparative integration of SAW and TOPSIS within a web-based system to evaluate ranking consistency and sensitivity in cultural heritage decision-making. Implications The findings provide a quantitative and transparent model that supports objective policy formulation and promotes sustainable, data-driven cultural preservation strategies for local governments. Highlights• Consistent ranking results across dual multi-criteria algorithms• Waruga ceremony identified as highest preservation priority• Web-based system supports transparent policy formulation KeywordsDecision Support System; Cultural Heritage; Minahasa; SAW Method; TOPSIS Method

Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation of school-based management in GMIM Ko Elementary School. The main focus of this study is the role played by school principals, school committees, and education commissions in managing and improving the quality of education in those schools. This study used a qualitative approach by adopting Miles and Huberman data analysis techniques. The data collection method involved in-depth interviews with principals, school committee members, and education commission members. Direct observation is also conducted to understand the dynamics of interaction between the three parties in the context of decision making and implementation of school-based management programs. The results of the study are expected to provide a clear picture of how principals, school committees and education commissions collaborate to achieve school-based management goals at GMIM Ko Elementary School. The implications of these research findings can be used as a basis for improving school-based management policies and practices in similar schools as well as contributing to the literature on the implementation of school-based management. Based on the results of the study revealed differences in understanding of the concept of School Based Management among school principals, education committees and education commissions. School principals focus more independently on managing resources, while education committees and commissions emphasize comprehensive management. This incomprehension can hinder SBM implementation, so training and modules are needed to improve understanding of concepts. Regarding the role of the principal, it is necessary to improve as educators, supervisors, and managers involving all stackholders. School committees need a greater focus on academic programs, while education committees play an important role as mediators and patrons of school ptograms. Obstacles to SBM implementation involve coordination constraints, lack of effective communication and busy stakeholders. Solutions include improved communication, understanding of roles and a culture of cooperation. The principal's proactive strategy with direct monitoring, limited consultation, efficient communication and quick decision making, plays a vital role in ensuring the effectiveness of SBM. This approach demonstrates pragmatism and flexibility in managing resources to achieve school goals.

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation, teacher professionalism has become a critical determinant of educational quality, yet its relationship with self-regulatory capacity and digital preparedness remains underexplored in developing-country contexts. Empirical evidence from Indonesian schools indicates that teachers' levels of self-management and digital readiness remain varied and suboptimal, potentially undermining effective teaching performance in technology-integrated learning environments. This study aimed to examine the partial and simultaneous effects of self-management and digital readiness on teacher professionalism among junior high school teachers in Paal Dua District, Manado City, Indonesia. A quantitative explanatory research design was employed. Data were collected via a validated Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 85 respondents, selected using the Slovin formula (e = 0.05) from a population of 108 teachers across eight schools. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics. Self-management had a positive and significant effect on teacher professionalism (β = 0.434, t = 4.911, p < 0.001), while digital readiness also exerted a positive and significant influence (β = 0.413, t = 4.681, p < 0.001). Self-management emerged as the more dominant predictor. Simultaneously, both variables significantly predicted teacher professionalism (F = 23.115, p < 0.001), explaining 36.1% of its variance (R² = 0.361). The integration of self-management capabilities and digital readiness constitutes a key determinant of teacher professionalism in digitally transforming educational settings. These findings provide an empirical basis for school administrators and education policymakers to design targeted teacher professional development programs that simultaneously strengthen self-management competencies and digital readiness.

Abstract

Teacher performance is a critical determinant of educational quality and plays a central role in achieving national educational goals, yet it remains suboptimal in many school settings due to weak leadership and organizational dynamics. This study aims to empirically analyze the influence of the principal's transformational leadership and organizational culture—both partially and simultaneously—on junior high school teacher performance in Paal Dua District, Manado City. A quantitative approach with an associative ex-post facto method was employed, with data collected from 85 teachers selected via proportionate stratified random sampling from a population of 108 using the Slovin formula; data were gathered through Likert-scale questionnaires tested for validity and reliability. The multiple linear regression analysis yielded the equation Y = −0.317 + 0.495X1 + 0.432X2. Transformational leadership had a significant positive partial effect on teacher performance (t = 8.794, Sig. = 0.001 < 0.05), as did organizational culture (t = 6.853, Sig. < 0.001). Simultaneously, both variables produced a significant combined effect (F = 61.679, Sig. = 0.001 < 0.05), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.601, indicating that 60.1% of variation in teacher performance is explained by the two predictors. It is concluded that the synergy between an inspiring principal and a conducive organizational culture is the primary determinant in optimizing teacher professionalism. These findings imply that educational policymakers should integrate transformational leadership development with organizational culture strengthening as a unified strategy for improving teacher performance in Indonesian junior high schools.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the school principal’s management at an early childhood education institution, TK GMIM Pniel Bahu in Manado City, focusing on the four main management functions: planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising. A qualitative approach with a case study method was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation review, and analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that the principal manages the school effectively by integrating Christian values, a familial culture, and a participatory approach into all managerial functions. Planning is conducted collaboratively with teachers and parents; organizing involves proportional task distribution and cross-sector partnerships; program implementation reflects participatory and holistic leadership; while supervision is carried out in a reflective, transparent manner, oriented toward quality improvement. These results show that the school management not only aligns with classical management principles (POAC) but also reflects transformational, participatory, and community-based leadership. This study reinforces the crucial role of the school principal as an instructional leader who inspires and serves within a contextual and value-driven early childhood education environment.
