Abstract

Principals in resource-limited primary schools face unique challenges in fostering a positive work culture among teachers. This study explores the managerial strategies of the principal at State Elementary School 44 South Bengkulu in enhancing teachers’ discipline, motivation, collaboration, and responsibility. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis, and processed with data reduction, presentation, and verification techniques. Findings show that the principal employed structured strategies of planning, monitoring, evaluation, and follow-up, while addressing challenges such as limited facilities, administrative burdens, bureaucratic demands, and varying levels of teacher motivation. The study concludes that adaptive and communicative leadership is crucial in transforming teachers’ work culture, and it offers practical insights into flexible policy support, reward systems, and managerial leadership training for similar educational contexts.

Abstract

While the Indonesian Teacher Leader program is a key policy initiative, empirical research on its direct impact on classroom learning quality is scarce. This qualitative case study at SMA Negeri 1 Bengkulu Selatan employed interviews, observations, and document analysis to explore the roles of Teacher Leaders. Findings reveal that Teacher Leaders perform five key roles: learning leader, coach, collaboration driver, promoter of student agency, and facilitator of professional communities. These roles significantly enhanced differentiated instruction, teacher collaboration, and student-centered learning. The study concludes that the Teacher Leader program, when implemented effectively, is a powerful lever for improving learning quality and fostering a collaborative school culture. The novelty of this study lies in its in-depth exploration of how Teacher Leaders translate policy into classroom practices in the Indonesian context. The practical implication is that schools should strengthen professional learning communities and student leadership programs to maximize the impact of Teacher Leaders. This research contributes to the limited body of literature on teacher leadership in Southeast Asia by providing empirical evidence of its role in enhancing instructional quality and collaborative culture.

Abstract

In Indonesia, a significant portion of the productive-age population lacks formal secondary education credentials, limiting their employment and further education opportunities. This study employed a qualitative goal-oriented evaluation (Tyler, 1949) to assess the relevance and effectiveness of the C Level Equivalency Program at PKBM Putri Raflesia, using interviews, observations, and document analysis. Findings indicate that the program’s objectives are highly relevant to learners’ needs for diplomas and skills. The flexible, andragogical approach was effective in improving comprehension and participation, leading to significant impacts on graduates’ self-confidence, employment, and educational mobility. The study concludes that the C Level program is a vital mechanism for socio-economic empowerment, demonstrating that program success hinges more on pedagogical strategies and relevance than on material resources. This research contributes by highlighting the role of community-based non-formal education in addressing educational inequality, providing practical insights for policymakers to strengthen adult learning programs, and offering novelty in applying Tyler’s model to evaluate non-formal education for productive-age learners in Indonesia.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate in depth how school principals with transformational leadership styles shape innovative school cultures in the digital era. This research responds to the gap of previous research that focused more on structural and administrative aspects in educational leadership, but has not explored exploratively the dynamics of transformational leadership in building a technology-oriented innovation culture. The method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies at SMP Negeri 1, 2, 4, 9, 13 Bengkulu City that have implemented technology integration in learning and management activities. The results of this study show that school principals play the role of agents of change who inspire, facilitate collaboration, and create an open climate for renewal. The novelty of this study lies in mapping transformational leadership practices that are contextual with the challenges of digitizing education. The practical implications of this research encourage the development of leadership programs that focus on digital literacy and school cultural innovation. A major contribution of this research is the provision of a conceptual framework for transformative leadership in the context of 21st century digital schools.
