Abstract

Teacher quality is crucial for improving education outcomes. Indonesia introduced the Teacher Certification Program (Sertifikasi Guru) in 2005 to enhance teacher professionalism. This study investigates the program's effectiveness in Jambi Province by analyzing its impact on teacher competencies, teaching practices, and student learning outcomes. This mixed-methods study involved 300 certified and 300 non-certified teachers in Jambi Province. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires and student achievement records, analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and regression analysis. Qualitative data were gathered through interviews with 30 teachers, 10 school principals, and 5 education officials, and analyzed thematically. Certified teachers exhibited significantly higher pedagogical knowledge, subject matter knowledge, and classroom management skills than non-certified teachers. They were also more likely to employ active learning and student-centered approaches. However, the impact on student learning outcomes was modest. In conclusion, Jambi's Teacher Certification Program successfully improved teacher competencies and teaching practices. However, further efforts are needed to enhance its impact on student learning outcomes. Recommendations include strengthening the program's focus on practical application, providing ongoing professional development, and increasing school-level support for effective teaching.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents transformative potential for enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in educational administration. However, successful integration necessitates a strategic approach to managing the human element, including evolving roles, requisite skills, and organizational change. This study addressed the gap in targeted frameworks for optimizing human-AI collaboration within the specific context of educational administration in Muara Bungo, Jambi, Indonesia. A mixed-methods, quasi-experimental pre-post design was employed. Data were collected from 50 educational administrative staff in Muara Bungo using surveys assessing AI perceptions, skill readiness, and job satisfaction, alongside semi-structured interviews exploring experiences with role changes and change management. A bespoke Human Resource Development (HRD) framework, encompassing structured role redefinition workshops, targeted AI literacy and collaboration skill training modules, and a multi-faceted change management communication plan, was developed and implemented over six months. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. Post-intervention, quantitative analysis revealed statistically significant improvements (p < 0.05) in participants' perceived usefulness of AI (t(49)=5.82), confidence in collaborating with AI tools (t(49)=6.15), and reported efficiency in administrative tasks (t(49)=4.98). Qualitative findings indicated that the HRD framework facilitated a clearer understanding of new roles, reduced initial anxiety towards AI, and highlighted the importance of ongoing support and transparent communication during the transition. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that a context-specific HRD framework integrating role redefinition, skill development, and change management can significantly enhance human-AI collaboration in educational administration. The findings underscore the necessity of proactive HRD interventions to equip staff, manage transitions effectively, and harness the synergistic potential of humans and AI in improving administrative functions within educational institutions in regions like Muara Bungo.
