Abstract

This study explores the strategies employed by the principal of SD Negeri Wonosari 01, Semarang, in managing educational quality. As the central figure in school leadership, the principal plays a vital role in integrating various components of education curriculum, educators, infrastructure, and community involvement into a comprehensive quality management system. Using a qualitative approach through observations, interviews, and questionnaires, the research reveals that the principal adopts a transformational leadership style and applies principles of Total Quality Management (TQM). Strategic planning is conducted collaboratively, involving teachers, school committees, parents, and students. Programs such as literacy mornings, character-based learning, and extracurricular development are implemented to enhance student competencies holistically. The principal ensures continuous teacher development through supervision and professional training, while promoting a positive school culture and transparent resource management. However, several challenges persist, including limited facilities, funding constraints, and varying teacher competencies, particularly in adapting to technological tools and the new curriculum. Low parental involvement and administrative workload further hinder optimal implementation. Despite these barriers, the principal demonstrates strong commitment and adaptive leadership by fostering partnerships, encouraging innovation, and promoting continuous improvement. This research provides practical insights for school leaders aiming to enhance educational quality in public elementary schools within similar contexts.

Abstract

The development of the education curriculum in Indonesia from 2006 to the emergence of the Merdeka Curriculum reflects the dynamics of change in the education system that adapts to the demands of the times. This article invites us to analyse the curriculum paradigm shift, starting from the 2006 Education Unit Level Curriculum (KTSP), then the 2013 Curriculum, to finally the Merdeka Curriculum. This analysis is carried out by considering philosophical, pedagogical, and social perspectives. Using a qualitative approach and literature study, this research succeeded in identifying the main characteristics of each curriculum, as well as the driving factors behind it and its implications for learning practices. The results of the study show that curriculum changes are not only influenced by advances in science and technology, but also by the need for education that is more flexible, learner-centred, and relevant to global challenges. The Merdeka Curriculum, as a refinement effort, emphasises the importance of differentiated learning, providing autonomy to teachers, and strengthening holistic competencies. This article offers insights into the evolution of curriculum policy in Indonesia and provides recommendations for further development in the context of national education development.
