Abstract

This study aims to describe the principal’s role in implementing the literacy program at SD Negeri 3 Gedong, Patean District, Kendal Regency, Central Java, which includes the stages of planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The research focuses on how the principal, as an instructional leader, drives the success of the literacy program through strategic planning, teacher empowerment, and community collaboration. This study employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through interviews with the principal, teachers, students, and parents; observations of literacy activities; and documentation such as school literacy policies, teacher journals, student portfolios, and evaluation reports. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the principal played a central role in four main stages: (1) participatory planning involving the literacy team and teachers; (2) implementation through 15-minute reading sessions, reading corners, and student recognition programs; (3) monitoring via academic supervision and coordination meetings; and (4) evaluation emphasizing reflection and continuous improvement. The principal’s leadership significantly strengthened the school’s literacy culture, reflected in higher student engagement, teacher participation, and parental support. The study concludes that developing principals’ capacity in literacy-based academic supervision, enhancing literacy media, and fostering school–community collaboration are key strategies to sustain a strong literacy culture.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of work–life balance and professional competence on the psychological well-being of elementary school teachers in Singorojo Subdistrict, Kendal Regency. The research employed a quantitative explanatory design using a survey method. The population consisted of 246 permanent elementary school teachers working in 35 public elementary schools. Using the Slovin formula with a 5% margin of error, a sample of 152 teachers was selected through proportionate stratified random sampling to ensure adequate representation from each school. Data were collected through validated Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression. The results show that: (1) work–life balance has a significant effect on psychological well-being (t = 13.593, p < 0.05) with a contribution of 55.2% (R² = 0.552); (2) professional competence significantly influences psychological well-being (t = 8.708, p < 0.05) with a contribution of 33.6% (R² = 0.336); and (3) both variables simultaneously have a significant effect on psychological well-being (F = 107.324, p < 0.05) with a combined contribution of 59% (R² = 0.590). These findings indicate that teachers’ psychological well-being is shaped by their ability to maintain work–life balance and by their level of professional competence. Strengthening these two aspects is essential for supporting teacher welfare and improving the quality of education, particularly in rural elementary school contexts.

Abstract

Improving teacher professionalism is essential for enhancing the quality of education, particularly in terms of discipline and instructional performance. This study aims to examine the implementation process of collaborative–humanistic supervision conducted by the principal through cyclical School Action Research at MTs Darul Ulum Purwogondo, to analyze changes in teacher discipline across the pre-cycle, Cycle I, and Cycle II, and to evaluate improvements in teachers’ instructional performance resulting from sustained supervision. Employing a School Action Research design across two cycles, data were collected through questionnaires, structured classroom observations, documentation, interviews, and field notes. The findings indicate that teachers’ administrative completeness, punctuality, and instructional process discipline improved significantly, while lesson planning, instructional delivery, and assessment practices became more structured, interactive, and reflective. Qualitative findings reveal reduced teacher anxiety, strengthened trust, increased self-reflection, and enhanced collaborative problem-solving. Supporting factors included empathetic principal communication, structured supervision procedures, and a collaborative school culture, while inhibiting factors such as limited time and initial resistance from senior teachers declined by Cycle II. The study concludes that collaborative–humanistic supervision effectively strengthens teacher discipline.

Abstract

Improving learning quality through effective academic supervision remains a challenge for elementary schools operating in resource-limited contexts. This study aims to examine the strategies employed by a school principal in implementing academic supervision in a resource-constrained elementary school. The research was conducted at SD Negeri 2 Gondangwayang in Kedu Subdistrict, Temanggung Regency, using a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving the principal, teachers, and a school supervisor. The findings indicate that academic supervision can be implemented effectively despite limited facilities through adaptive and context-based leadership. The principal applied key strategies including efficient time management, the use of simple supervision tools, collaborative supervision practices, optimization of internal professional learning communities, empowerment of lead teachers, and continuous monitoring of instructional practices. These strategies positively influenced teachers’ professional performance, particularly in lesson planning discipline, instructional variation, and openness to reflective practice. Academically, this study contributes to instructional leadership theory by demonstrating how adaptive and collaborative supervision models operate effectively in low-resource school contexts. Practically, the findings provide guidance for school principals in similar settings to optimize supervision practices without dependence on extensive infrastructure.

Abstract

This study is grounded in the need to strengthen elementary school teacher performance in the Merdeka Belajar era, which emphasizes autonomy, collaboration, and reflective instructional practices. The study aims to examine the implementation of collaborative academic supervision and its contribution to improving teachers’ performance. A qualitative case study approach was conducted at SD Negeri 01 Kalirejo, Talun District, Pekalongan Regency, during the first semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, documentation analysis, teacher perception questionnaires, and reflective journals. The findings show that collaborative academic supervision was implemented systematically through joint planning, classroom observation, reflective dialogue, and collegial follow-up actions, with the principal acting as a facilitator rather than an evaluator. This approach positively influenced teacher performance in lesson planning, instructional implementation, assessment practices, follow-up actions, and professional development. Teachers also demonstrated increased motivation, reflective awareness, and collaborative engagement. The novelty of this study lies in evidence that collaborative academic supervision functions as a sustainable professional learning strategy aligned with Merdeka Belajar principles framework.

Abstract

Improving teachers’ professional performance is a critical challenge in secondary education, especially when academic supervision is often perceived as administrative control rather than a developmental process. This study aims to examine the implementation of coaching-based academic supervision conducted by school principals and its role in enhancing teachers’ professional performance at SMP Negeri 9 Pekalongan. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, the research investigates the supervision process, teachers’ perceptions, and its impact on instructional practices. Data were collected through focus group discussions, classroom observations, and document analysis involving the principal and teachers participating in coaching-based supervision activities. The findings indicate that coaching-based academic supervision transforms supervision into a reflective and collaborative professional development process through joint goal setting, classroom observation, reflective dialogue, and post-observation reflection. This approach enhances teachers’ self-awareness, motivation, and instructional innovation, while fostering a supportive and trusting supervisory relationship. Challenges included time constraints and varying readiness of teachers to engage in reflective coaching. The study concludes that coaching-based supervision effectively improves teachers’ professional performance and builds a collaborative learning culture. Theoretically, it advances academic supervision models by integrating coaching principles; practically, it provides actionable guidance for school leaders in sustaining teacher professional development.

Abstract

This study examines the application of a comprehensive strategic management model in an elementary school participating in Indonesia’s Sekolah Penggerak program, with a particular focus on its conceptual contribution to understanding school-based strategic management in primary education. Drawing on Fred R. David’s strategic management framework, the research explores how the stages of strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation are adapted and operationalised within the context of an elementary school to address challenges in learning quality and students’ numeracy skills identified in the school’s Education Report. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving school leaders and key stakeholders. The findings demonstrate that the strategic management model functions not only as an administrative planning tool but also as a conceptual framework that integrates instructional improvement, data-informed decision-making, and stakeholder engagement at the elementary school level. Despite initial constraints related to vision alignment, participation, and data literacy, the structured and reflective application of the model contributed to improvements in instructional quality and numeracy-oriented practices. Conceptually, this study extends the application of strategic management theory into the domain of elementary education by illustrating how a business-derived framework can be contextualised to support school transformation and learner-centred improvement. These findings enrich the discourse on strategic management in education and offer a transferable conceptual reference for elementary schools operating in similar reform-oriented and socio-educational contexts.
