Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of principal leadership style and teachers’ work motivation on the performance of elementary school teachers in Talang Kelapa District, Banyuasin Regency. Employing a quantitative approach with a survey design, the study involved 109 teachers from public elementary schools selected as research respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaires that measured principal leadership style, teachers’ work motivation, and teacher performance. The collected data were then analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression techniques to examine both partial and simultaneous effects among the variables. The results of the t-test indicate that principal leadership style has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance (t = 4.420; Sig. = 0.000), contributing 15.4% to the variance in teacher performance. Similarly, teachers’ work motivation shows a positive and significant effect on teacher performance (t = 5.796; Sig. = 0.000), with a contribution of 23.9%. Furthermore, the results of the simultaneous test reveal that principal leadership style and teachers’ work motivation jointly have a significant effect on teacher performance (F = 19.693; Sig. = 0.000), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.271. These findings confirm that teacher performance is influenced by both organizational and individual factors. Strengthening principal leadership practices and enhancing teachers’ work motivation are therefore essential strategies for improving teacher performance and supporting the effectiveness of elementary education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the combined influence of curriculum implementation and teacher motivation on student learning achievement in State Junior High Schools within Sematang Borang District. Employing a quantitative descriptive method, data were collected via questionnaires, observation, and documentation from a sample of 70 principals and teachers across two schools: SMP Negeri 23 and SMP Negeri 60 Palembang. Analysis involved normality, linearity, and multicollinearity tests, followed by correlation, regression, t-tests, and an F-test. The results indicate a statistically significant joint influence, with curriculum and teacher motivation together explaining 59.6% of the variance in student achievement. The novelty lies in empirically examining the synergistic effect of these two factors within a specific Indonesian district context. Practically, the findings underscore the need for integrated school improvement policies that simultaneously enhance curricular delivery and teacher incentive structures. This research contributes to educational management theory by quantifying the collective impact of institutional and human resource variables on academic outcomes.

Abstract

This study determined and described the effect of audiovisual learning media and learning motivation on the science learning outcomes of Grade VII students at public junior high schools (SMP) in Sako District, Palembang. The research sample consisted of 61 Grade VII students from two schools: SMP Mandiri Palembang (29 students) and SMP Binatama Palembang (32 students). Sampling techniques included total sampling and cluster random sampling. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires featuring a 5-point Likert scale to measure 60 statement items, alongside a final assignment comprising 30 questions. The data analysis technique employed was simple and multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicated that: 1) There is a significant influence of audiovisual learning media on the science learning outcomes of Grade VII students. 2) There is a significant influence of learning motivation on the science learning outcomes of Grade VII students. 3) Collectively, audiovisual learning media and learning motivation significantly influence the science learning outcomes of Grade VII students at the studied schools in Sako District, Palembang. The findings suggest that educators and institutions should consider integrating audiovisual media into their teaching strategies and actively work to enhance student learning motivation to improve science learning outcomes in junior high school settings. This study contributes to the existing literature by simultaneously examining the combined and individual effects of audiovisual learning media and learning motivation on science learning outcomes within a specific Indonesian educational context. It provides empirical evidence supporting the importance of both technological tools and psychological factors in achieving better academic performance.

Abstract

Learning quality is a major indicator of elementary school effectiveness because it reflects the quality of planning, classroom implementation, learning interaction, assessment, and continuous instructional improvement. This study examines the influence of Merdeka Curriculum learning and teacher work motivation on learning quality in public elementary schools in Karang Agung Ilir District, Banyuasin Regency. The study used a quantitative ex post facto design. The respondents were 91 teachers selected from public elementary schools in the district. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring Merdeka Curriculum learning, teacher work motivation, and learning quality. The instruments were developed from relevant indicators and were tested before being used in the main study. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, assumption testing, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression with SPSS version 26. The results show that Merdeka Curriculum learning had a positive and significant influence on learning quality, with t = 7.545, R = 0.625, and R² = 0.390. Teacher work motivation also had a positive and significant influence on learning quality, with t = 5.042, R = 0.471, and R² = 0.222. Simultaneously, Merdeka Curriculum learning and teacher work motivation influenced learning quality, with F = 32.910, R = 0.654, and R² = 0.428. These findings indicate that learning quality improves when curriculum implementation is supported by motivated teachers. The study contributes to educational management by showing that curriculum reform and teacher motivation should be developed together to strengthen learning quality in elementary schools.

Abstract

Teacher performance gaps remain a persistent challenge in improving educational quality, influenced by the effectiveness of academic supervision and principals’ motivational leadership. This study examines the extent to which these two factors contribute to the performance of public senior high school teachers in Banyuasin Regency. Employing a quantitative approach with a correlational design, the research involved 126 teachers selected through random sampling. The measurement instruments demonstrated adequate construct validity (AVE > 0.50) and reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha > 0.70). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that academic supervision (β = 0.261; p = 0.003) and principal motivation (β = 0.373; p < 0.001) exert significant positive effects on teacher performance, both individually and jointly (F = 11.222; p < 0.001), yielding an R² value of 0.154. These findings underscore the relevance of Self-Determination Theory in explaining how leadership support fulfills teachers’ psychological needs. Practically, the results highlight the importance of strengthening coaching-based supervision and motivational strategies to foster a more supportive professional environment and promote continuous performance improvement.
