Abstract

This study analyzes the development of a digital-based educational quality ecosystem at SMK Bhineka Karawang, Indonesia, focusing on enabling factors, challenges, and strategies to sustain digital transformation in vocational education. The research is driven by the urgency of educational digitalization in the industry 4.0 era, which demands the integration of leadership, teacher competence, infrastructure, policies, and school culture. A qualitative case study design was applied through in-depth interviews with eight informants (the principal, vocational teachers, and IT staff) selected purposively, supported by document analysis, and examined using thematic analysis. The findings highlight three key themes with measurable indicators: (1) leadership commitment and policy alignment, evident in digital planning documents and resource allocation; (2) teacher digital competence and continuous professional development, reflected in participation rates in digital training; and (3) infrastructure readiness and integration challenges, measured by facility availability and system interoperability. The results indicate that the success of a digital ecosystem requires a systemic approach that combines leadership vision, teacher empowerment, and well-coordinated infrastructure support. This study enriches the limited literature on digital transformation in Indonesian vocational schools by presenting an empirically grounded framework. It offers guidelines for practice, including leadership training in digital change management, differentiated teacher development programs, and sustainable infrastructure planning aligned with pedagogical goals.

Abstract

Underachievement among secondary school students remains a significant challenge. The mismatch between students’ academic potential and actual performance is driven by interconnected internal factors, such as low motivation and ineffective learning strategies, and external influences including parenting style, peer interactions, and academic pressure. This study aims to identify the factors contributing to underachievement, evaluate school-based intervention strategies, and analyze their effectiveness in improving motivation, learning behavior, and academic performance. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and analysis of academic documents involving underachieving students, school counselors, subject teachers, and parents. The results indicate that interventions such as individual counseling, group guidance, learning development services, remedial programs, and collaboration between counselors and teachers provide positive improvements, yet their success depends heavily on intervention consistency, parental involvement, and students’ readiness to change. Integrated and continuous support is shown to enhance motivation and academic performance, though challenges persist related to family communication and commitment. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive collaborative intervention models to more effectively address underachievement and support student academic success in secondary schools.

Abstract

The digital transformation in educational institutions demands a more effective, well-documented, and technology-adaptive model of instructional supervision. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Learning Management System (LMS)-based academic supervision and its impact on teacher performance and instructional quality. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving the principal, vice principal for curriculum, and teachers. The findings reveal that LMS-based supervision is systematically implemented through digital scheduling, instructional document uploads, classroom recording submissions, and direct feedback via LMS features. Digital supervision significantly enhances teacher discipline, administrative consistency, digital competence, and the quality of instructional planning. LMS also accelerates the feedback cycle and strengthens reflective teaching practices. However, several challenges emerge, including unstable internet connectivity, teacher psychological pressure, and difficulties in digital adaptation. LMS-based supervision positively contributes to instructional quality and supports school quality management. This study highlights the importance of integrating digital supervision into teacher professional development, particularly in vocational education settings.
