Abstract

Purpose of the Study: The study focuses on three key variables: visionary leadership of madrasah principals, managerial ability, and job satisfaction. These variables are explored as internal and institutional factors that shape the meaning of educational quality and directly impact teacher performance. The research aims to determine which of these factors plays the most significant role in enhancing the effectiveness and productivity of certified teachers within the context of Islamic educational institutions. Methodology: This research employs a quantitative survey method to measure respondents’ perceptions and attitudes. It is categorized as confirmatory research, validating existing theoretical models by identifying the most influential variables affecting teacher performance. Additionally, it uses a correlational approach to measure the strength and direction of the relationships between the selected variables and teacher outcomes. A total of 242 respondents were selected using random sampling, and data were analyzed using path analysis to explore both direct and indirect effects. Main Findings: The study reveals that visionary leadership, managerial competence, and job satisfaction all exert significant direct effects on teacher performance. Among them, visionary leadership is identified as the most dominant contributor. Novelty/Originality of the Study: The novelty lies in the simultaneous and integrative investigation of leadership, managerial skills, and job satisfaction within a specific regional and institutional context. Unlike prior studies that often analyze these factors in isolation, this research offers a comprehensive causal model tailored to Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri, filling a gap in the literature on Islamic school leadership and performance enhancement.

Abstract

The Muslim minority community in Sari Laba Village, Sibiru-Biru District, faces limitations in understanding Islamic teachings correctly. Observations reveal that the community still practices Islam in a traditional manner. The presence of volunteers in the village plays an important role in promoting a more moderate understanding of Islam, particularly in the context of religious moderation. This study aims to identify: 1) The strategies implemented by volunteers in promoting religious moderation to sustain good religious practices; 2) The challenges faced by the Muslim minority community in practicing their religion; and 3) The best solutions offered by volunteers regarding religious moderation. This study employs a qualitative approach using theories that refer to indicators of religious moderation. The results show that: 1) Volunteers use persuasive and educational approaches with the community; 2) The main challenge lies in aligning local tribal traditions with Islamic teachings; and 3) The solutions offered by volunteers include organizing interfaith activities to foster mutual respect and tolerance.

Abstract

Technological advancements significantly affect language learning making it more effective and accessible. The research aims to investigate students' perceptions on the use of the Padlet application in learning writing skills. The research used a qualitative case study approach method, involving 8th grade students of junior high schools in Medan. Data were collected using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, for questionnaires involving 31 students and interviews involving 5 students who had completed the questionnaires. Participants were selected using the purposive sampling method. The percentage results from the questionnaire provided insight into students' perceptions, the interviews added to the understanding of students' learning experiences in using Padlet. The results showed that most students gave positive perceptions of Padlet as a learning media tool to improve students' writing skills, namely, ease of access and usability, effectiveness in improving writing skills, motivation in improving writing skills, and challenges in using the Padlet application. Therefore, Padlet application is recommended as an effective writing learning media tool used in the classroom. However, it is suggested that further research can involve a larger number of participants so as to gain a more comprehensive insight into students' perceptions of using Padlet, further researchers can also focus more on other language skills.

Abstract

This study investigated the effect that employing the Predicting Strategy with Webtoon would have on MTsS Awaliyah students' reading comprehension during the academic year 2021-2022. This study was conducted using a quantitative methodology and a real experimental pretest-posttest control group design. Eighth-grade enrollment was 60 pupils, who were equally distributed between two classes. The samples were comprised of the whole population and were chosen using a simple random selection technique. There were 30 pupils in both the experimental class (VIII-A) and the control class (VIII-B) (VIII-B). The pre-test and post-test each consisted of 20 multiple-choice questions, and they served as the data collection instruments. Using 58 degrees of freedom (df) and a significance threshold of 0.05, a t-test revealed that the value of to was 6,515, and that ttable was 1,673. This equation indicated that to is more than ttable (6,515 > 1,673). According to the study's findings, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) should be accepted, whereas the null hypothesis (Ho) should be rejected. It suggests that the experimental class scored differently than the control class after the therapy was administered. The Predicting Approach with Webtoons has a major impact on students' reading comprehension.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of multimodal resources in teaching English writing at the senior high school level, particularly their contribution to content delivery, student engagement, and lesson sequencing. The research was conducted in class X-2 of a public Madrasah Aliyah in Medan with 35 students, using classroom video recordings as the primary data collection method. Data analysis was carried out through O’Halloran’s as Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SF-MDA), examining ideational, interpersonal, and textual meanings. The recorded lessons were divided into 40 segments covering the entire teaching sequence and analyzed based on verbal, visual, gestural, spatial, digital, and collective synchrony modes. The findings revealed that verbal and visual modes dominated content delivery, gestural and spatial modes directed students’ attention, and interpersonal engagement was enhanced through praise, humor, motivational prompts, digital interaction, and collective activities. Textual meaning was achieved through the integration of multiple modes, marking transitions, providing scaffolding, and maintaining lesson coherence. These results highlight the strategic implementation of multimodal resources as essential for creating an interactive, inclusive, and effective learning environment, offering practical insights for teachers to optimize English writing instruction at the secondary school level.
