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

This study examines the principal’s managerial role in implementing the Hafidz Excellence Program at MI Raudlatul Muta’allimin Pakis, Bringin District, Semarang Regency. The research was motivated by the need to develop an effective management model for Qur’an memorization programs that simultaneously strengthen students’ character and spiritual values. The study aims to analyze how the principal carries out the four managerial functions—planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising—in managing the program to improve students’ competence in Qur’an memorization and discipline. A qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña interactive model, consisting of data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the principal effectively performs all managerial functions by involving teachers and parents in participatory planning, structuring clear task divisions, motivating students through rewards and guidance, and ensuring program quality through systematic supervision and evaluation. This comprehensive managerial approach fosters collaboration, consistency, and accountability among stakeholders, thereby improving student performance and spiritual growth. The study implies that effective principal management integrating modern leadership principles with Islamic values can serve as a sustainable model for faith-based educational institutions seeking to enhance Qur’anic learning and character education.

Abstract

The aims of the study are to analyse and describe the role of Hersey and Blanchard’s situational leadership model, namely directing, coaching, supporting, and delegating, in improving school achievement. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. The location of the study is at SD Muhammadiyah 01, Comal Subdistrict, Pemalang Regency. Data was obtained from primary and secondary sources involving the principal and three teachers. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis model, which consists of data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Data validity was ensured through technique triangulation, source triangulation, and time triangulation. The findings indicate that the directing style did not play a role in improving school achievement, while the coaching, supporting, and delegating styles played a significant and strategic role in improving school achievement, and the principal was more dominant in applying the delegating style in improving school achievement at SD Muhammadiyah 01 Comal Subdistrict.

Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively describe the principal's role in implementing the 7KAIH program at SMP Salafiyah Pekalongan. 7KAIH is a strategic movement to build Indonesia’s 2045 golden generation through the development of positive character and life skills. The study focuses on how the principal plans, organizes, implements, and evaluates the program to ensure its effective and consistent implementation within the school environment. The 7KAIH program is implemented not only as a routine activity but also as a strategic effort to strengthen character education and build positive habits among students in their daily lives. The theoretical framework of this study is based on the POAC (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling) management theory proposed by Terry, Fayol, Robbins, and Coulter, as well as theories of educational leadership and character education. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the principal carries out the planning function by integrating the 7KAIH program into the school's vision, annual program, and school culture. The organizing function is carried out by forming an implementation team and providing a clear division of tasks. The driving function is implemented through providing role models, motivation, and intensive communication with teachers, students, and parents, while the controlling function is carried out through journal-based monitoring and periodic evaluation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the principal as a manager in organizing inclusive education at SD Negeri 14 Mulyoharjo, Pemalang Regency. The research focuses on how managerial functions, planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling, are implemented to support inclusive education and improve school quality. A qualitative research approach with a case study design was employed. The data for this study consist of primary data obtained from key informants, including the principal, teachers, and school committees, selected through purposive sampling, as well as secondary data derived from school documents such as work plans, curriculum adaptations, and evaluation reports. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed using an interactive model comprising three concurrent flows of activity: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The findings reveal that the principal plays a crucial role in systematically managing inclusive education through comprehensive planning based on student needs assessment, effective organization of human resources and inclusive teams, continuous guidance for teachers, and regular supervision. Furthermore, the integration of digital technology and collaboration with external institutions strengthens inclusive practices. The results indicate that effective managerial leadership contributes significantly to creating an inclusive school culture and improving overall educational quality. Therefore, the principal’s managerial competence is a key factor in ensuring the sustainability of inclusive education. This study provides practical implications for school leaders and policymakers in optimizing inclusive education management in primary schools.

Abstract

This study explores how the school principal contributes to the development of an Adiwiyata School through the application of the POAC management framework, which includes planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling, at SD Negeri 05 Beji, Taman District, Pemalang Regency. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed to gain a comprehensive understanding of leadership practices in the implementation of environmental education programs. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and document analysis involving the principal, teachers, and other school stakeholders directly engaged in the Adiwiyata program. The findings reveal that the principal plays a central role in shaping the school’s environmental management strategy. In the planning stage, environmental priorities are integrated into school policies and operational programs. In organizing, clear responsibilities are assigned through the establishment of a dedicated Adiwiyata team. During implementation, the principal encourages collaboration, motivation, and active participation among teachers, students, and the wider school community. Continuous supervision and evaluation further support program consistency and long-term sustainability. These findings suggest that the success of Adiwiyata development depends not only on infrastructure or formal policy, but also on the principal’s leadership capacity to foster collective commitment toward environmental responsibility within the school community.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of principal leadership style and academic supervision on teachers’ professional competence in public elementary schools in Patean District, Kendal Regency. Employing a quantitative approach with an ex post facto survey design, data were collected from 149 teachers selected through proportional random sampling from a total population of 237 teachers across public elementary schools in Patean District. The primary data source consisted of teachers’ responses to validated Likert-scale questionnaires measuring three variables: principal leadership style, academic supervision, and teachers’ professional competence. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics version 26, including Pearson product-moment correlation to assess the strength of relationships between variables, simple linear regression to determine the individual effect of each independent variable, and multiple linear regression to examine the simultaneous influence of both variables on teachers’ professional competence. Hypothesis testing was performed at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results revealed that principal leadership style had a significant positive influence on teachers’ professional competence, contributing 75.0% of the variance. Academic supervision also demonstrated a significant positive effect, accounting for 70.9% of the variance in teachers’ professional competence. Simultaneously, principal leadership style and academic supervision explained 81.2% of the variance in teachers’ professional competence, indicating a very strong and statistically significant combined effect. These findings emphasize the importance of effective school leadership and continuous academic supervision in strengthening teachers’ professional competence, improving instructional quality, and supporting sustainable educational development in elementary schools.
