Abstract

The primary function of the after-school Scouting program in elementary schools is the targeted development of students’ leadership skills. Students are encouraged to develop skills in organizing, taking initiative, and solving problems through various activities, including discipline training, collaboration, and real-life scenario simulations. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the after-school Scouting program on the interpersonal, leadership, and social competencies of elementary school children. Participant surveys, in-depth interviews with scout leaders, and field observations were part of the research process. According to the study authors, scout participants tend to have higher levels of self-confidence, group leadership skills, and decision-making abilities. Furthermore, this curriculum helps shape children’s personalities to be more independent, self-controlled, and responsible, all of which are important foundations for future leadership growth. In this way, the Scouting program serves as a powerful tool for shaping young people’s character and disposition toward leadership. The results of this study indicate that the after-school Scouting program helps elementary school students develop their leadership skills and character, and also encourages them to become involved members of society.

Abstract

Multicultural education is education that covers all students regardless of their groups, such as gender, ethnicity, race, culture, social strata, and religion The role of education is very crucial in instilling mutual respect, respect, and cooperation in diversity. Schools must teach about tolerance which is an appreciation and respect for diversity (plurality) that prioritizes humanism and ethics as the main pillar of the formation of an open society and able to work together in pluralism. Active learning strategies are an approach that is able to increase student involvement in the learning process and encourage them to think critically and work together with classmates who have different backgrounds. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with case studies. Based on observations and interviews with teachers and students, the implementation of multicultural-based active learning strategies in grade 5 of SD Negeri 03 Pekuncen showed several positive impacts, including: 1) Students showed a better understanding of the importance of respecting differences in daily life 2) Discussion-based learning and group work helped students develop communication and cooperation skills 3) With more interactive methods, students are more enthusiastic in participating in lessons 4) Learning that links social and economic diversity with daily life makes it easier for students to understand the materialCooperative learning strategies, thematic discussions, role playing, and project-based learning have increased students' social participation and interaction. Students become more confident, able to work together, and have better communication skills. The diversity of students' socioeconomic backgrounds is not an obstacle to learning, but rather a strength to build understanding and tolerance attitudes. Students learn from each other's experiences and understand that each individual has an important role to play in social life. Keywords: Multicultural, Active Learning Strategies

Abstract

School principal leadership constitutes a critical determinant of educational quality, yet comprehensive understanding of effective leadership approaches in contemporary contexts remains limited. This literature review examined school principal leadership from a sociology of education perspective, synthesizing 44 international scholarly sources published between 2019 and 2025. The review employed narrative-descriptive methodology, systematically analyzing leadership conceptualizations, effective styles, contemporary challenges, and implications for educational quality. Findings revealed that 40.9% of contemporary literature conceptualizes principals as multidimensional leaders integrating instructional, managerial, and social roles. Four leadership styles demonstrated differential yet complementary effects: transformational leadership enhanced teacher motivation (85% of studies) and innovation culture (82%); instructional leadership directly improved teaching quality (91%) and curriculum implementation (88%); democratic leadership generated exceptional teacher participation (94%) and organizational trust (87%); while spiritual leadership strengthened ethical climate (89%) and character development (84%). School culture development emerged as the primary mediating mechanism (70.5% of studies) through which leadership influences educational outcomes. Contemporary principals face intensified challenges including digital transformation (77.3%), teacher resistance (63.6%), and administrative burden (59.1%), with significant contextual variations based on resource availability. The findings establish leadership as socially embedded institutional work requiring cultural diagnostic capabilities alongside technical competence. This study advances sociology of education by theorizing principals as cultural producers who shape organizational values mediating educational quality improvements.
