Abstract

Improving teacher performance has become a central concern in educational research, as teacher effectiveness is strongly linked to student achievement and the overall quality of schooling. This study aimed to investigate the influence of principals’ leadership style and teachers’ work motivation on teacher performance in junior secondary schools in Sungai Rotan District, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 98 teachers using a structured questionnaire that measured leadership style, work motivation, and teacher performance, with validity and reliability established through expert review, factor analysis, and Cronbach’s alpha. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The results indicated that both leadership style and work motivation had significant positive effects on teacher performance, with work motivation showing a stronger influence, while the combined model explained 34.3% of the variance in teacher performance. The discussion suggests that principals who demonstrate supportive leadership practices can enhance teachers’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, which in turn improves their instructional planning, classroom management, and professional responsibility. This study contributes novelty by examining the simultaneous influence of leadership and motivation in the Indonesian junior secondary school context, a relationship that has been underexplored in prior research. The findings imply that effective leadership development and motivational support are essential strategies for policymakers and educational practitioners seeking to improve teacher performance and strengthen school effectiveness in developing country contexts.

Abstract

Hermeneutics has changed the paradigm of the study of contemporary Islamic thought towards the direction of Islamic science, placing modern Islamic issues into the discourse of theodiplomacy. Many modernist scholars have initiated an overhaul of the concept of "soar skyward" Islam, offering through hermeneutics a "down-to-earth" idea of Islam. Hermeneutics has given birth to various controversies through the use of the methods "to explain," "to interpret," and "to say," ignoring the approaches of al-shadaf (charismatic study), al-lubab (essence study), tahqiq (ensuring the exploration of the position of words), and tadqiq (comparing to the opinions of competent scholars). This study was conducted using qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The results showed that hermeneutics has initiated the occurrence of rereading, reinterpretation, rethinking, renewing, and rebuilding to strive for adjustments toward the new Islamic order. Therefore, the existence of Hermeneutics does not make calculations of right and wrong, strong and weak, black and white, and Islam-West in every interpretation of the Qur'an. It's just that the interpretation of modernity issues carried out by the approach of Islamization of science and applied Islamology giving birth to various worldview controversies such as Progressive Islam, pluralist Islam, humanist Islam, and reverse Islam.

Abstract

This study explores how sacred Qur’anic manuscripts in Madura, Indonesia, are embedded in local mythological narratives and transformed into cultural and economic resources. Although these manuscripts are preserved as religious artifacts, they also function as “living texts” that circulate meaning and power within spiritual, cul­tural, and touristic contexts. The research aims to examine how local myths surrounding these manuscripts mediate between faith, author­ity, and contemporary cultural tourism. Using a qualitative approach that includes participant observation and semi-structured interviews with manuscript custodians, religious leaders, and visitors, the study analyzes how stories of miraculous origins—such as manuscripts writ­ten in one night or underwater—shape public perception and enhance symbolic value. The findings reveal that these narratives serve not only as expressions of belief but also as strategies of cultural preser­vation and commodification, turning sacred texts into heritage objects that attract visitors and generate community pride. The study contrib­utes to a broader understanding of how religious heritage in Muslim societies is continually reinterpreted through narrative, economy, and local identity.
