Abstract

While global investments in teacher professional development (TPD) have surged, the "training-to-classroom" gap remains a persistent challenge in under-resourced, rural settings. This study evaluates the systemic impact of three primary TPD modalities, comprising formal certification (PPG), decentralized teacher working groups (MGMP), and centralized in-service workshops (Diklat), on instructional quality by utilizing Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Evaluation Model. Adopting a qualitative bounded case study design centered in East Lombok as a region emblematic of the infrastructural and pedagogical challenges in rural Indonesia, data were generated from 38 key educational stakeholders through semi-structured interviews, 48 rigorous classroom observations, and systematic document analysis. The findings unpack a non-linear decoupling across Kirkpatrick’s evaluative levels. While TPD initiatives successfully generated positive teacher reactions (Level 1) and conceptual knowledge gains (Level 2), behavioral transfer into actual classroom practice (Level 3) was severely bottlenecked by rigid institutional accountability, resource scarcity, and generic program designs. Crucially, measurable improvements in teaching quality (Level 4) did not occur linearly but were ecologically contingent upon active principal instructional leadership and localized peer-learning networks, with the decentralized MGMP model showing the highest adaptive potential. Ultimately, this study challenges the linear efficacy assumptions of standardized TPD models in the Global South, demonstrating that professional growth in rural contexts is structurally mediated. It offers a socio-contextual framework for policy-makers to transition from standardized in-service training toward school-embedded, leadership-supported professional development ecosystems.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of women's cooperatives as a strategy for empowerment and economic independence through a community-based feminist economic approach in East Lombok Regency. The research employs a qualitative approach with a multi-case study design, complemented by descriptive quantitative data analysis. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, documentation, and a survey involving 120 members of women's cooperatives. The results indicate that women's cooperatives play a crucial role in enhancing women's financial inclusion by providing access to business capital, savings, and micro-enterprise development. Access to business credit increased from 32% before joining to 81% after becoming members, while routine savings ownership rose from 41% to 76%. Furthermore, the proportion of members capable of developing independent businesses increased from 29% to 64%, with average incomes rising by approximately 37% within two years. From a feminist economic perspective, these cooperatives serve as collective economic spaces that strengthen women's bargaining power within the local economic structure. These findings suggest that women's cooperatives possess significant potential as an inclusive and sustainable model for women's economic empowerment.
