Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between strategic management, teacher participation, and school performance in public elementary schools, focusing on how leadership practices influence institutional outcomes. The research addresses a growing need to understand how strategic decision-making processes can be effectively aligned with grassroots teacher involvement to enhance educational quality and accountability. This study employs a quantitative correlational design using a validated and reliable 5-point Likert scale questionnaire administered to randomly selected public elementary school teachers. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to test the hypothesized relationships among the three key variables. The results show that strategic management has a strong positive influence on teacher participation, with a contribution of 81.1%, and significantly impacts school performance with a contribution of 68.5%. However, the rejection of the third and fourth hypotheses which posited that teacher participation would mediate the relationship between strategic management and school performance suggests that teacher involvement in strategic planning is still peripheral rather than integral. External factors such as educational policy limitations, resource disparities, and administrative rigidity are identified as contributing barriers. This study introduces a novel model that maps the strategic alignment between management practices and teacher engagement, offering a deeper understanding of why participatory leadership may fail to translate into improved outcomes. It recommends a collaborative strategic management framework that genuinely embeds teacher input to optimize school performance and create sustainable educational change.

Abstract

AbstractThis study aims to assess elementary school teachers' inquiry skills and scientific attitudes related to science. The instrument used in this study evaluates four groups of skills: conceptualizing and planning design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and communication. Additionally, it assesses six categories of scientific attitudes: the nature of science, the basis of science, characteristics of scientists, goals of science, benefits of science, and responses regarding scientists. This research instrument underwent validation by two experts in the field of science. Validation results using Kendall's Tau calculations showed a value of 0.853 for the inquiry ability instrument and 0.807 for scientific attitude, and both falling into the ‘very high’ category. The study involved 49 elementary school teachers. Findings revealed that teachers' inquiry skills were categorized as 'weak', indicated by an average percentage below 50% in each skill group. Regarding scientific attitude, respondents' responses varied significantly between positive and negative statements, despite similarities found in two categories: 'basic science' and 'purpose of science'. This study highlights the necessity to consider the the learning process science, particularly emphasizing the development of inquiry skills and fostering positive scientific attitudes, from elementary school through university education.Keywords: inquiry skills, scientific attitudes, elementary teacher.                                                             AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana keterampilan inkuiri guru baik dari sisi proses maupun sikap ilmiah terkait dengan sains. Proses yang diujikan dalam instrument ini terdiri dari empat kelompok keterampilan: mengkonsepsi dan merencanakan desain, implementasi, analisis dan interpretasi, serta mengkomunikasikan. Pada sikap ilmiah terdiri dari enam kategori yaitu: sifat dari ilmu sains, dasar ilmu sains, hal yang dimiliki ilmuan, tujuan ilmu sains, manfaat ilmu sains, dan tanggapan mengenai ilmuan sains. Instrumen penelitian ini telah dilakukan validasi pada dua orang doktor pada bidang sains. Berdasarkan hasil validasi menggunakan perhitungan Kendall’s Tau memiliki nilai sebesar 0,853 untuk instrument kemampuan inquiry dan nilai sebesar 0,807 untuk sikap ilmiah serta keduanya termasuk ke dalam kategori sangat tinggi. Responden dalam peneitian ini terdiri dari 49 orang guru sekolah dasar yang didapatkan bahwa keterampilan inkuiri berada pada kategori “lemah” hal ini ditunjukkan dengan persentase rata-rata responden pada setiap kelompok dibawah 50%. Sedangkan pada sikap ilmiah didapatkan bahwa respon responded terhadap pernyataan sikap ilmiah antara pernyataan positif dan negatif cukup berbeda walaupun ada dua kategori sikap ilmiah yang sama responnya. Dua kategori itu adalah pada “dasar ilmu sains” dan “tujuan dari sains”. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa proses pembelajaran sains dari SD sampai dengan perguruan tinggi perlu untuk diperhatikan terutama hal yang berkaitan dengan keterampilan inkuiri dan sikap ilmiah.Kata kunci: kemampuan inkuiri, sikap ilmiah, guru sekolah dasar

Abstract

Disasters including earthquakes can traumatize people, especially children. One of the impacts is impaired concentration, making it difficult for children to learn or study. Hopefully, the right learning model can help students continue to participate in learning and heal the trauma. To find out this learning model, it is necessary to carry out a process of characterizing students in post-disaster areas. Based on the results of questionnaires and interviews with teachers and students in post-disaster areas, it is known that some students are still experiencing trauma, as indicated by 51.80% of students still having difficulty concentrating on studying. It is also known that the learning style of most students is auditory because 91.10% of students learn happier when they hear the teacher telling stories. Furthermore, student’s learning styles are visual as shown by 83.90% of students enjoying reading, 80.4% of students enjoying seeing pictures, and 57.10% enjoying seeing animations. Judging from the tendency for collaboration, students prefer to study in groups. Based on these characteristics, students enjoy learning with active, interactive, and fun activities, so the AICEF learning model can be an alternative that can be used as a learning model for elementary school students in post-earthquake areas
