Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of transformational leadership and motivation on the performance of teachers in Yayasan Rabiatul Adawiyah Medan. Data collection techniques involved the distribution of questionnaires to a sample of 35 people. The data analysis model used was multiple linear regression. The coefficient of determination (r2) was obtained at 72.8%, indicating that the independent variables of transformational leadership and motivation can explain their effect on teacher performance by 72.8%, while the rest of the variables are not revealed. The results of the study, at a 95% confidence level and a 5% significance level, showed that leadership has a significant effect on teacher performance, and motivation has a significant effect on employee performance. Simultaneously, it is known that transformational leadership and motivation together have a significant effect on teacher performance. Transformational leadership carried out by the principal should also involve consideration of the opinions or suggestions of teachers when making decisions and giving certain appreciation when teachers achieve an accomplishment. The role of teachers as the main pillar in the world of education can be a source of pride if the work done is appreciated

Abstract

This investigation seeks to identify and scrutinize the typologies of vocabulary exercises incorporated within the "Grow with English" textbook designed for Grade 4 students. Vocabulary acquisition is fundamentally crucial to language learning, particularly at the elementary level where learners are establishing foundational linguistic competence. This textbook, extensively utilized in Indonesian primary education, is structured to support English acquisition through diverse and engaging pedagogical activities. Employing a content analysis methodology, this research systematically examines the vocabulary tasks presented in each unit of the Grade 4 textbook. The exercises were subsequently categorized according to established activity formats, such as picture-word matching, multiple-choice questions, cloze (fill-in-the-blank) tasks, crossword puzzles, and word searches. The findings reveal a predominance of matching and fill-in-the-blank activities, which are specifically aimed at developing both lexical recognition and contextual comprehension. While more interactive formats, including crossword puzzles and word searches, are also incorporated, their frequency of appearance is comparatively lower. The diversity of exercise types suggests the textbook endeavors to provide a balanced and stimulating approach to vocabulary development. This study is anticipated to contribute to the evaluation and refinement of English instructional materials, particularly concerning the selection of effective vocabulary pedagogy for primary learners. Furthermore, the results may serve as a valuable reference for educators in designing or supplementing classroom vocabulary interventions tailored to student requirements.
