Abstract

Improving school quality remains a critical challenge in elementary education, particularly in rural and semi-urban contexts where leadership capacity and organizational conditions vary considerably. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of principals’ managerial skills and school culture; however, limited research has examined their combined influence on school quality within an integrated theoretical framework. This study employed a quantitative ex-post facto design to examine the relationships among principals’ managerial skills, school culture, and school quality in public elementary schools in Boja District, Kendal Regency. Data were collected from 103 teachers selected through proportional random sampling using a structured Likert-scale questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and multiple regression analyses were conducted to assess both individual and combined effects of the independent variables on school quality. The findings indicate that principals’ managerial skills have a significant positive relationship with school quality (R² = 0.535), as does school culture (R² = 0.526). When examined simultaneously, principals’ managerial skills and school culture jointly explain 70.3% of the variance in school quality, indicating a strong and complementary association between leadership capacity and organizational culture. These results suggest that principals’ managerial skills contribute to school quality not only directly but also through the development of a positive school culture that supports effective teaching and learning. The study underscores the importance of integrated leadership and cultural development strategies in improving school quality, particularly in resource-limited educational contexts.

Abstract

Mathematics instruction on the concept of whole numbers in elementary schools is still dominated by conventional, teacher-centered methods, resulting in low student engagement and affecting numeracy skills and learning outcomes. This study aims to analyze the effect of implementing the Project-Based Learning (Pjbl) model, assisted by interactive digital media, on students' numeracy skills and learning outcomes. The study used a mixed-methods approach with a nonequivalent control-group experimental design. The research subjects consisted of fifth-grade students from Ulin Nuha Wuryantoro Elementary School (experimental group) and Wuryantoro 1 Elementary School (control group). Data collection techniques included tests, observations, questionnaires, and interviews. Quantitative data analysis included normality and homogeneity tests, and independent-samples t-tests using SPSS, while qualitative data were analyzed descriptively. The study found a significant difference between the two groups. The average numeracy score of students in the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (33.10 > 24.13). Similarly, the mathematics learning outcomes, the experimental group obtained a higher average score (80.95 > 75.63). The hypothesis test yielded a p-value < 0.05, indicating a significant effect of implementing interactive digital media-assisted PJBL on students' numeracy skills and learning outcomes. Thus, the interactive digital media-assisted PJBL model effectively improves the quality of mathematics learning, particularly in whole numbers, and encourages active student involvement in the learning process.
