Abstract

This research explores the transformational leadership styles that principals employ in an effort to increase teacher motivation. Using a qualitative approach, this study seeks to understand in depth how school principals apply transformational leadership dimensions, such as idealistic influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individual consideration, and analyze the impact on teacher motivation in carrying out duties and responsibilities. Data will be collected through participatory observations within the school environment, in-depth interviews with principals, teachers, and other stakeholders, as well as documentation studies of related documents. Data analysis will be carried out inductively, by identifying patterns, themes, and relationships that arise from the data obtained. This research is expected to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the implementation of transformational leadership styles by school principals in the context of education in Indonesia. Research findings can be a reference for school principals and other education stakeholders in formulating strategies and policies to increase teacher motivation, ultimately contributing to improving the overall quality of education.

Abstract

Mathematics learning in schools is still predominantly teacher-centered, resulting in limited student engagement during the learning process. In addition, the limited availability of teaching materials and the use of student worksheets (LKPD) that are not designed based on specific instructional models cause difficulties for students in understanding the material. This study aims to develop Problem-Based Learning (PBL)-based student worksheets integrated with QR Code technology to create a more interactive and engaging learning environment. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D model, which was limited to the define, design, and develop stages. The subjects of this study were 20 eighth-grade students of SMP Gusti Wijaya Sunggal. The instruments used included expert validation sheets and student response questionnaires. The results showed that the developed LKPD achieved a very high level of validity with an average score of 92.25% and obtained student responses of 73% categorized as good. The integration of QR Code technology in the worksheets facilitates students’ access to additional learning resources, such as instructional videos. Therefore, the PBL-based LKPD integrated with QR Code is considered valid and practical for use in mathematics learning.
