Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of principal’s leadership and teachers’ professionalism on the performance of State Elementary School teachers in Suak Tapeh District, Banyuasin Regency, examining both partial and simultaneous effects. Employing a quantitative ex post facto approach, data were collected via questionnaires and documentation from a sample of 115 teachers and analyzed using SPSS. The results confirm three findings: (1) principal’s leadership significantly influences teachers’ performance; (2) teachers’ professionalism significantly influences performance; and (3) both factors together exert a stronger, synergistic combined influence. The novelty of this research lies in its empirical demonstration of this synergy within a specific Indonesian district context, highlighting how leadership and professionalism interact to enhance outcomes. A key practical implication is the necessity for integrated school improvement policies that concurrently develop transformational leadership in principals and continuous professional growth for teachers. This study contributes to the field of educational management by providing evidence that teachers’ performance is optimally strengthened through dual-focused interventions targeting both administrative leadership and individual professional competence, offering a actionable model for district-level planning.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the management, implementation, and supporting and inhibiting factors of the center learning model at SD Negeri 1 Pematang Panggang, Indonesia, during the 2025/2026 academic year. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed, utilizing interviews, observation, and documentation to gather data from 15 teacher respondents implementing the center model. The findings reveal three key aspects. First, the management of learning centers encompasses comprehensive planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling processes, both internally and externally. Second, the implementation is structured around four distinct centers preparation, nature, blocks and creativity, and acting and physical exercise rotated from Monday to Thursday, with Fridays dedicated to thematic culmination activities. Third, evaluation is conducted in a staged manner, including daily, weekly, mid-semester, and end-of-semester assessments to monitor student progress and report to parents. The novelty of this study lies in its detailed documentation of a complete, phased management system for center-based learning within a specific Indonesian primary school context. Practically, these findings offer a replicable framework for other schools seeking to adopt or refine similar pedagogical models. The study contributes to educational literature by providing empirical evidence on the operational dynamics of center learning, demonstrating how structured management, diverse center types, and systematic evaluation collectively enhance the implementation of this approach in primary education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the principal’s strategies in implementing digital literacy at SMK Negeri 1 Sekayu, Indonesia, focusing on planning, implementation, and supervision, as well as associated challenges and solutions. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, vice principals, teachers, and educational staff. Data analysis followed an interactive model of reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal a multi-stage strategy. Planning involved integrating digital literacy into the curriculum and annual programs, developing technology-based instructional tools, and providing supporting facilities. Implementation centered on encouraging digital learning platforms, conducting professional development workshops to enhance teachers’ digital competencies, and promoting project-based learning with digital technology. Supervision was executed through regular monitoring and evaluation of classroom practices. Key challenges identified include suboptimal platform use, varying teacher digital competence, and infrastructure limitations. Solutions implemented involve strengthening teacher capacity through continuous training and optimizing available technological resources. The novelty of this study lies in its specific examination of leadership strategies for digital literacy within a vocational high school context in Indonesia, offering insights into the principal’s role as a central driver. Practically, the findings provide a strategic framework for school leaders in similar contexts to navigate digital integration. This study contributes to educational leadership literature by demonstrating that effective digital literacy implementation requires coherent, multi-level strategies from planning through to supervision, coupled with targeted solutions to address persistent challenges.
