Abstract

Transformational leadership has been widely recognized as a key driver of school improvement; however, limited research has examined how it is operationalized within school quality management processes, particularly at the primary education level in public school contexts. This study employed a qualitative case study design, supplemented by descriptive survey data, to investigate how a principal's transformational leadership contributes to the implementation of school quality management at SD Negeri 1 Pembina Kintom, Indonesia. Data were collected from 16 participants through semi-structured interviews, observations, document analysis, and a validated perception questionnaire (Cronbach's α = 0.87–0.84), and were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model alongside descriptive frequency analysis. The principal demonstrated strong transformational leadership across all four dimensions: idealized influence (97.00%), inspirational motivation (70.83%), intellectual stimulation (70.00%), and individualized consideration (69.58%). School quality management was consistently rated high across input (62.50%), process (72.91%), and output–outcome (69.60%) components. Cross-analysis revealed that specific leadership dimensions systematically animated corresponding quality management components. Conclusion Transformational leadership functioned not merely alongside quality management but as its operational mechanism, providing practical guidance for principals and policymakers seeking sustainable school improvement.

Abstract

Low student engagement and unsatisfactory learning outcomes in Integrated Science and Social Studies (IPAS) remain persistent challenges in Indonesian elementary classrooms. This study investigates the effect of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative learning model assisted by a traditional marble game on the IPAS learning outcomes of fourth-grade students. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest format was employed. Twenty-eight students from Class IV-A at SD Negeri 24 Palu, Indonesia, participated in the study. Data were collected through a 17-item validated multiple-choice achievement test (α = .905) and classroom observation sheets. Descriptive statistics, normalized gain (N-Gain) analysis, and a paired sample t-test were used to analyze the data. The mean score increased significantly from 50.98 (pretest) to 83.29 (posttest). The mean N-Gain of 0.633 indicated moderate learning improvement. The paired t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference (t(27) = 10.77, p < .001). Classroom observations showed student activity rising from 79% to 95% across two meetings. These findings demonstrate that integrating TGT with culturally familiar game-based media creates an engaging, cooperative learning environment that meaningfully enhances elementary students' cognitive achievement in IPAS, offering a low-cost and contextually relevant instructional alternative for resource-limited settings.
