Abstract

The Data Pokok Pendidikan (DAPODIK) system serves as the primary foundation for educational data management and policy decision-making in Indonesia. However, persistent institutional challenges continue to affect the accuracy and reliability of the data. This research aims to identify and analyze the institutional obstacles that hinder the effective implementation of DAPODIK. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the study explores three key dimensions: infrastructure, institutional structure, and human resources. The findings reveal that (1) inadequate internet connectivity and unstable electricity disrupt data entry and synchronization; (2) weak policy integration, limited budgets, and inconsistent leadership commitment impede effective data governance; and (3) insufficient training for school operators reduces technical competence, thereby compromising data validity. These findings highlight the need for a comprehensive reform strategy that strengthens digital infrastructure, enhances institutional governance, and develops human resource capacity to ensure reliable education data management.

Abstract

This study examines how school principals plan, implement, and evaluate literacy- and numeracy-oriented learning programs in Cluster 1 elementary schools in Krueng Sabee, as well as the challenges they face in improving students’ learning outcomes in resource-limited contexts. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected over a three-month period from six school principals, teachers, and seven school committee members through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while trustworthiness was ensured through source and method triangulation and member checking. The findings reveal three principal-led strategies: (1) strategic distribution of reading and numeracy resources to support integrated literacy–numeracy learning; (2) principal leadership in enhancing teacher competence through literacy and numeracy interventions; and (3) school-wide initiatives and collaborative team support that strengthen students’ motivation toward literacy. Despite limitations in facilities and learning resources, principals demonstrated adaptive and collaborative leadership that enabled schools to optimize available resources and sustain literacy and numeracy programs. Overall, the study confirms that focused and systematic principal leadership plays a critical role in strengthening literacy and numeracy learning in elementary schools operating under resource constraints.

Abstract

Teacher discipline remains a persistent challenge in many junior high schools and demands systematic management from school principals. This study explores principal management strategies for improving teacher discipline in public junior high schools in South Aceh Regency, Indonesia. Employing a descriptive qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis (e.g., attendance records, school regulations, and supervision notes). Participants were purposively selected to ensure information-rich perspectives and included two principals, six teachers, and two administrative staff from SMP Negeri 3 Trumon and SMP Negeri 4 Trumon Timur (N = 10). Data were analyzed thematically using an interactive process of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with trustworthiness strengthened through triangulation and member checking. The findings show that principals enact three interrelated strategies: (1) establishing and consistently enforcing clear disciplinary regulations (attendance, morning assembly, learning administration, and professional ethics); (2) applying a balanced reward–sanction system to reinforce compliance and responsibility; and (3) conducting continuous supervision through reminders, attendance monitoring, classroom observation, and periodic evaluation followed by coaching. These strategies were facilitated by effective communication, collaborative work culture, and supportive school policies, while limited resources and low teacher participation emerged as key constraints. Overall, integrated principal management contributes to a more orderly professional culture and supports improved school effectiveness in resource-constrained contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to explain IT Training for teachers, the availability of adequate facilities and infrastructure, and Structural support from the school. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to map the competencies of elementary school teachers in information technology. Primary data in this study were obtained through observations in schools and through internet searches (Google). This research was conducted at SDN 2 Sampoiniet. The population used in this study totaled 10 (ten) people, consisting of the principal and teachers. The object of this research is Information Technology-Based Learning. Data analysis techniques using the Miles and Huberman approach, which consists of three steps: (1) presenting findings, (2) describing patterns and trends, and (3) understanding the underlying meaning. The research results show that improving teacher competence in Elementary Schools is crucial. Improving teacher competence cannot be done carelessly. A sustainable strategy is needed, such as training programs that focus on using technology in education, professional development, and teacher collaboration. Access to digital resources and institutional support is also very important for ensuring that teachers can adapt to change and use technology to the fullest.
