Abstract

This study explores the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in predicting high school student performance during the transition to university. Recognizing the pivotal role of academic readiness, the study emphasizes the need for tailored interventions to enhance student success. Leveraging a dataset from Portuguese high schools, the research employs a comparative analysis of six ML algorithms—linear regression, decision tree, support vector regression, k-nearest neighbors, random forest, and XGBoost—to identify the most effective predictors. The dataset encompasses diverse attributes, including demographic details, social factors, and school-related features, providing a comprehensive view of student profiles. The predictive models are evaluated using R-squared, Root Mean Square Error, and Mean Absolute Error metrics. Results indicate that the Random Forest algorithm outperforms others, displaying high accuracy in predicting student performance. Visualization and residual analysis further reveal the model's strengths and potential areas for improvement, particularly for students with lower grades. The implications of this research extend to educational management systems, where the integration of ML models could enable real-time monitoring and proactive interventions. Despite promising outcomes, the study acknowledges limitations, suggesting the need for more diverse datasets and advanced ML techniques in future research. Ultimately, this work contributes to the evolving field of educational AI, offering practical insights for educators and institutions seeking to enhance student success through predictive analytics.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the management of facilities and infrastructure at two junior high schools in Southwest Aceh Regency, Indonesia (SMP Negeri 1 Susoh and SMP Negeri 2 Susoh) and examines its impact on learning quality. The research methodology includes observations, structured interviews, and documentation to collect data from key stakeholders such as principals, deputy principals, and teachers. The findings emphasize the critical role of detailed planning and collaboration among teachers, principals, and school development teams in aligning facility needs with curriculum requirements. Efficient use, storage, maintenance, and care of educational assets are essential for maximizing their functionality and longevity. The study also highlights the importance of comprehensive inventory management that adheres to regulatory guidelines to ensure effective resource control and supervision. However, the schools face challenges including limited land availability, insufficient funding, human resource constraints, and inadequate government support, which impede their ability to provide well-rounded learning environments. The study points out the necessity for ongoing improvement efforts by principals to adapt educational facilities to evolving educational demands. It recommends prioritizing investments in facilities, staff training, and policy enhancements to address these challenges and foster comprehensive educational development. Future research should assess the effectiveness of these management practices in various contexts and their long-term impact on student outcomes.

Abstract

The study investigates the management of the zoning system for new student admissions (PPDB) at SD Negeri 3 Jeumpa and SD Negeri 4 Kuala Batee in Aceh Barat Daya Regency, Indonesia. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, it explores the planning, implementation, supervision, and evaluation processes. Key findings reveal that while adherence to Ministry of Education guidelines ensured systematic planning and implementation, challenges such as online registration difficulties, quota constraints, and misinformation persist. Supporting factors include skilled personnel, infrastructure, and collaboration, whereas hindrances involve resource limitations and community misinformation. The study recommends sustained evaluation and strategic improvements to enhance the PPDB process and advance educational quality in the region.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of the Merdeka Curriculum implementation and teacher motivation on high school teacher performance in Aceh Barat Regency, Indonesia. The Merdeka Curriculum, a recent educational reform emphasizing flexibility and student-centered learning, aims to enhance teaching quality and student engagement. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 74 high school teachers through structured questionnaires. Statistical analyses, including t-tests and regression, were conducted to assess the impact of curriculum implementation and motivation on teacher performance. Findings reveal that the Merdeka Curriculum significantly improves teacher performance by promoting adaptive teaching practices. Teacher motivation, encompassing intrinsic and extrinsic factors, also positively influences performance, with high motivation levels associated with more extraordinary dedication and effectiveness. The combined analysis indicates that 80.2% of the variation in teacher performance is explained by these factors, suggesting that both curriculum flexibility and motivational support are essential in enhancing educational outcomes. These results offer practical insights for policymakers and educational stakeholders aiming to support teacher engagement and curriculum adaptability.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of principal appreciation and motivation on the work culture of vocational school teachers in South Aceh District, Indonesia. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 113 vocational school teachers across five schools through a survey that measured three key variables: principal appreciation, principal motivation, and teacher work culture. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including simple and multiple regression, were employed to determine the relationships between the variables. The results showed that both principal appreciation and motivation have a positive and significant influence on teacher work culture, explaining 11.6% of its variation individually and 34.1% when combined. These findings underscore the importance of school leadership in fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment, suggesting that principals who appreciate and motivate their teachers significantly enhance the overall work culture, which in turn contributes to improved teacher performance and educational outcomes. This research highlights the critical role of leadership in shaping a productive and engaging school culture.
