Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze how maritime habitus shapes the learning ethos of Bajo youth in Kawite-Wite Village, Muna Islands, Southeast Sulawesi, by addressing a research gap in coastal education studies that have largely emphasized access, participation, and dropout, while paying limited attention to maritime culture as both educational capital and structural challenge. Methods: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach within a critical sociology of education paradigm using a phenomenological-sociological design. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation involving 24 informants, consisting of 16 Bajo youth aged 13-18 years and 8 supporting informants, including teachers, a school principal, fishermen parents, a senior fisherman, a Bajo community figure, and a local education observer. Data were analyzed interactively through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Findings: The findings reveal three central patterns. First, maritime habitus functions as cultural capital through hard work, resilience, solidarity, responsibility, independence, and collective discipline. Second, it produces educational tension through seasonal absenteeism, fatigue, family labor demands, and the risk of school dropout. Third, Bajo youth construct a hybrid future orientation by negotiating their roles as students and children of fishing families. Research Implications: The study implies that coastal education should be culturally responsive, flexible, and connected to maritime life. Originality: This study advances the concept of maritime habitus as an analytical lens for understanding learning ethos as a negotiation between the school field and the sea field.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze how principal leadership contributes to the development of an adaptive educational management culture in elementary schools, particularly in responding to policy changes, learning needs, and the dynamics of school governance. Methods: This study employed a qualitative case study design involving three elementary schools: SD Negeri 2 Baubau, SD Negeri 2 Palatiga, and SD Negeri Palatiga. This study employed a qualitative case study design involving three elementary schools. Fifteen informants, consisting of three principals, nine teachers, and three educational staff members, were selected purposively. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and SaldaƱa, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Findings: The findings reveal that adaptive educational management culture is developed through five interconnected mechanisms: translating the school vision into daily work practices, strengthening participatory communication, involving teachers in decision-making and program implementation, promoting context-based program flexibility, and using reflective evaluation as a space for organizational learning. Research Implications: The study implies that principals need to strengthen collaborative governance, reflective supervision, teacher participation, and context-sensitive decision-making to build schools that are more responsive to institutional and pedagogical change. Originality: This study offers a contextual model of adaptive educational management culture by positioning principal leadership as a cultural and relational practice rather than merely an administrative function. lies in the placement of the principal's leadership as a cultural practice that constructs an adaptive management culture through social relations and organizational learning, not just an administrative function.
