Abstract

In the landscape of decentralized school-based management, principals hold a complex dual autonomy: as accountable fiscal managers and as visionary instructional leaders. However, the pressure of bureaucratic isomorphism often creates an extreme disparity in focus. This phenomenological study investigates how principals in Public Junior High Schools (SMP) in Tomohon City, Indonesia, navigate the existential tension between the demands for state financial reporting compliance and the effectiveness of asset utilization for learning. Through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and physical observation of schools, this study uncovers a chronic phenomenon of “Loose Coupling.” The findings indicate that: (1) An Asymmetry of Accountability occurs, where leadership energy is exhausted pursuing an administrative “clean audit” status, while the evaluation of pedagogical impact is neglected; (2) The emergence of the “Sleeping Assets” phenomenon, where teaching aids and learning technologies undergo an ontological death—purchased as symbols of modernity but unused in classroom practice; and (3) External evaluation tends to be blunt and normative, failing to diagnose the gap between budget expenditure and learning quality. This study concludes that without reforming accountability mechanisms to balance fiscal and pedagogical indicators, educational decentralization will only produce symbolic compliance without substantial quality improvement.

Abstract

The development of teachers' roles extends beyond teaching to leadership roles. This study aims to describe and identify teacher leadership development, its determinants, and its outcomes in elementary school settings. This study employed a case study method with a multi-case study design. The primary data source was an informal group of 11 participants, consisting of three principals and eight teachers. Data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies were processed using qualitative data analysis techniques using an interaction model. The validity of the research data was tested using credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability techniques. The results of the study are presented in three findings. First, elementary school teacher leadership development occurs through teacher learning, the boundaries of teacher leadership encompassing the classroom, group, and organization, and roles within and outside the school. Second, the determinants of elementary school teacher leadership development include internal and external factors, as well as interactions between principals and teachers. Third, the results of elementary school teacher leadership development include outcomes at the teacher, student, and school levels. The results of this study are discussed in relation to theory and empirical evidence from previous research. Furthermore, the research conclusions and recommendations are described

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of junior high schools (SMP) in Minahasa Regency and to examine the influence of teacher competence, learning resource management, instructional media, principal leadership, classroom management, and school academic culture on school effectiveness. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The study was conducted in 103 public and private junior high schools in Minahasa Regency. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and documentation, involving teachers and principals as respondents. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression, preceded by classical assumption tests including normality, linearity, and multicollinearity tests, with a significance level of α=0.05. The results show that, partially, teacher competence, learning resource management, instructional media, principal leadership, classroom management, and school academic culture have a positive and significant effect on junior high school effectiveness in Minahasa Regency, with significance values of p < 0.05 for each variable. Simultaneously, the results of the F-test indicate that the six independent variables jointly have a significant effect on school effectiveness (Sig. < 0.05). Furthermore, the coefficient of determination indicates that school effectiveness is substantially influenced by the combined contribution of these variables, while the remaining variance is explained by other factors outside the research model. The study concludes that the effectiveness of junior high schools in Minahasa Regency is significantly influenced by teacher competence, learning resource management, instructional media, principal leadership, classroom management, and school academic culture, both partially and simultaneously. Therefore, improving school effectiveness requires an integrated and sustainable strengthening of these factors to enhance educational quality and achieve optimal educational outcomes at the junior high school level.

Abstract

Fulfilling the rights of students to get educational services during the spread of the Corona Virus (COVID-19) is pursued through the implementation of Learning from Home policy. Parental involvement has a crucial influence on students’ involvement. This study aims to analyze and explain the involvement of students’ parents in implementation of learning from home in elementary schools in Tomohon City. This study applies a qualitative approach, case study methods, data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation, and documentation as well as qualitative data analysis techniques adapted from interaction models. The results showed that the parents of students were very actively involved, especially from the mother's side, the forms of involvement were physical and non-physical, and there was personal communication between parents and teachers. In addition, a lack of readiness, cost, time, and teaching knowledge from students’ parents identified as an inhibiting factor which is overcome by providing opportunities for involvement, interpersonal communication and coordination and provision of incentives. Conclusions and suggestions for future research related to the importance of examining the parental involvement process of students are also presented at the end of the chapter.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of entrepreneurial leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic at Karitas Catholic High School in Tomohon City, the supporting and inhibiting factors as well as the solutions for handling them. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects were five people consisting of a school principal and four vice principals. The data were collected from interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The data were analyzed by an interactive model. The findings indicate that entrepreneurial leadership was implemented through the principal role as an explorer, a miner, an accelerator, and an integrator. The supporting factors are teachers’ IT skills, government allowances, parents’ support and proactivity, online learning facilities, and entrepreneurial instincts of teachers and students. The inhibiting factors are the late payment of tuition fees, the uncertainty of parents' income, the late disbursement of the government's school operational assistance (BOS) funds and the foundation's compulsory funds, the complexity of the foundation's centralized system, and the lack of online learning facilities. The efforts to overcome the inhibiting factors are coordination with parents, overcoming arrears, recording the number of students without online learning facilities, and conducting offline learning for them. The results suggest continuing to implement entrepreneurial leadership more openly and creatively, increase the supporting factors, and minimize the inhibiting factors with various efforts.

Abstract

This research was carried out at SMA Negeri 7 Manado, with the aim of finding out the persuasive communication strategies used to increase students' learning motivation at school. In this research, a case study and a descriptive qualitative approach were used. This research was carried out by collecting data through observing research objects and interviewing related informants. This research shows that communication, whether personal from teachers to students, or guardians/parents to students, has a significant impact on the students' learning motivation. This personal communication approach must be maintained in the sense that it can be carried out continuously so that good relationships can be established between teachers, students and guardians/parents.
