Abstract

Teacher pedagogical competence is their ability to manage learning comprehensively, including understanding students; planning; implementing; evaluating; utilizing technology; and developing student potential to achieve optimal learning outcomes. Teacher pedagogical competence is influenced by internal and external factors, one of which is participation in a learning community. This study aims to determine and analyze the influence of learning communities on the pedagogical competence of elementary school teachers in Japah District, Blora Regency. This study has a novelty by integrating learning communities with teacher pedagogical competence, which has not been widely studied in elementary school teachers in Japah District, Blora Regency, thus providing a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence teacher pedagogical competence in elementary schools. This study uses a quantitative method with data collection through distributing questionnaires with a sample of 130 respondents. The results of the study showed that learning communities have a positive and significant effect on teacher pedagogical competence. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that the learning community has a positive effect with a correlation coefficient of 0.364 or 36.4% on teacher pedagogical competence and the remaining 63.6% is influenced by other factors that were not studied. The learning community is the most dominant variable with an effective contribution (SE) of 14.6%.

Abstract

This study addresses the persistently low absorption of vocational high school graduates in Kendal Regency, Indonesia, despite the region's strategic position within a special economic zone that demands a skilled workforce. The study aims to examine the influence of the link and match program, teachers' professional competence, and vocational school culture on improving the quality of vocational education and its relevance to graduate employability. A quantitative correlational research design was employed, involving 219 vocational teachers selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression and correlation techniques. The results reveal that the link and match program significantly contributes to vocational education quality improvement (54.2%), followed by teachers' professional competence (24.4%) and school culture (24.1%). Collectively, these variables explain 76.7% of the variance in vocational education quality. The findings indicate that effective industry–school alignment, continuous professional development of teachers, and the internalization of industrial work culture are critical factors in enhancing graduate readiness and employability. This study contributes to the field of vocational education by providing empirical evidence on an integrated model of quality improvement that supports stronger alignment between vocational schools and labor market demands.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyze the implementation of management strategies in the Broadcast and Filmmaking Skills Program at SMK Negeri 1 Kendal to improve graduate competency. The research emphasizes four core management functions: planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling, along with evaluation processes that enhance graduate readiness for employment, higher education, and entrepreneurship. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed to explore the lived experiences and subjective perspectives of key stakeholders involved in managing the program. Participants included the principal, vice principals, head of the skills program, productive subject teachers, students, alumni, and industry partners (DUDIKA). Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis. Analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing with ongoing verification. The findings reveal that management implementation in the Broadcast and Filmmaking Skills Program is adaptive and context-responsive, aiming to achieve productivity, stakeholder satisfaction, and sustainable graduate pathways. Participatory planning engages school stakeholders and industry partners to address limited employment opportunities and diverse student potential by strengthening entrepreneurial orientation and curriculum relevance. Organizing is carried out through clear team structures, systematic task distribution, and a semi-block scheduling system, while strong industry collaboration ensures alignment between competencies and labor market demands. Actuating is implemented through deep learning and project-based learning approaches that develop both technical and interpersonal skills. Controlling is conducted systematically through tiered supervision, digital monitoring systems, and innovative student manager roles, supporting continuous quality improvement and graduate competitiveness.

Abstract

Teacher performance is a crucial indicator in improving the quality of primary education. The 2025 Education Report data show that 34.48% of public elementary schools in Brati District fall into the low category in the learning quality dimension. Supervision reports also indicate that 53% of teachers have incomplete learning administration and 65% have not implemented varied teaching methods. These conditions are presumably related to suboptimal principal leadership, particularly in supervision, innovation, and motivation functions. This study aims to analyze the effect of principal leadership on teacher performance in public elementary schools in Brati District, Grobogan Regency. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population consisted of elementary school teachers in Brati District, with samples selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using simple linear regression. The results indicate that principal leadership has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance. The more effective the principal’s leadership, the higher the teacher performance. This study emphasizes the strategic role of principals as supervisors, motivators, and innovators in improving teacher performance.
