Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of educational facilities and infrastructure, as well as teachers’ work motivation, on the professionalism of public junior high school teachers in Suak Tapeh District. Employing a quantitative ex post facto approach, the research surveyed all 105 teachers from three state schools using validated questionnaires, with data analyzed via simple and multiple regression in SPSS. The results demonstrate that both factors have a significant positive influence: facilities account for 25.3% of the variance in professionalism, while work motivation explains 28.8%. Their combined simultaneous influence contributes 28.7%. The novelty of this study is its localized focus, integrating these two critical variables into a single empirical model within a specific Indonesian district context. A key practical implication is that school administrators and policymakers must adopt a dual strategy, concurrently improving physical infrastructure and implementing programs to enhance intrinsic teacher motivation to effectively raise professional standards. This research contributes by providing empirical evidence of these interconnected relationships and offering a targeted framework for improving educational quality in similar regional settings.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of principal’s leadership and infrastructure on the performance of public junior high school teachers in Suak Tapeh District, Banyuasin Regency. This study is motivated by the condition of teachers’ performance that still needs to be improved, as seen from low professionalism, teaching motivation, and limited facilities that support the learning process. While previous studies have focused more on motivation, academic supervision, or teacher competence, this study fills the gap in research by simultaneously examining the influence of principal’s leadership and infrastructure in public schools in rural areas. The approach used is quantitative with an ex post facto method on all 105 public junior high school teachers in Suak Tapeh District and used as a saturated sample. Data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability, as well as documentation. Data analysis was conducted using simple and multiple linear regression using SPSS version 26. The results showed that principal’s leadership has a positive and significant effect of 29.6% on teachers’ performance, while infrastructure has an effect of 31.7%. Simultaneously, these two variables have an effect of 37.8%. These findings confirm that effective leadership and adequate school facilities play a crucial role in improving teachers’ performance. The novelty of this study lies in combining these two variables in the context of secondary schools in rural Banyuasin.

Abstract

This study examines the simultaneous and partial influence of teacher competence and school management on teacher performance at State Elementary Schools in Ilir Barat 1 District, Palembang. Using a quantitative descriptive method, data was collected via questionnaires from 229 teachers sampled from a population of 534 across 29 schools. Analysis involved normality, linearity, and multicollinearity tests, followed by correlation, regression, t-tests, and F-tests. The results confirm that both teacher competence and school management have a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, both partially and simultaneously. The novelty lies in quantifying their combined impact within this specific regional context. Practically, these findings underscore the need for integrated professional development and administrative training programs. The study’s contribution is empirical evidence for educational policymakers and school leaders to prioritize holistic strategies that enhance both individual teacher capabilities and overarching managerial systems to improve overall educational outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of infrastructure facility availability and teacher work motivation on the professionalism of State Elementary School teachers in the Ikrar Cluster, Banyuasin III District, examining both partial and simultaneous effects. Employing a quantitative ex post facto method, data were collected via questionnaires and documentation from a sample of 138 teachers. Analysis was conducted using SPSS. The results confirm three key findings: (1) infrastructure availability has a significant positive influence on teacher professionalism; (2) teacher work motivation has a significant positive influence on professionalism; and (3) both factors together exert a statistically stronger combined influence. The novelty of this research lies in its empirical examination of the synergistic relationship between tangible resource allocation (infrastructure) and intangible human resource factors (motivation) within a specific Indonesian school cluster context. A central practical implication is that school district administrators must adopt integrated improvement policies that concurrently invest in physical facilities and foster motivational strategies to optimize teacher professionalism. The study contributes actionable empirical evidence to the field of educational management, demonstrating that teacher development is most effectively enhanced through a dual-focused strategy addressing both environmental and psychological supports.

Abstract

This case study examines the implementation of integrative holistic early childhood education (IH-ECE) management at a ‘Satu Atap’ kindergarten in suburban Indonesia, where limited resources and farming community characteristics create unique implementation challenges. Drawing on in-depth interviews with the principal and teachers, participatory observation, and document analysis, we analyze how the institution operationalizes the four management functions (planning, organizing, actuating, controlling) within the constraints of high teacher-student ratios (1:20), dual educator roles, and limited technology. Findings reveal that despite resource limitations, the institution demonstrates best practices including child-centered planning, center-based environmental organization, and continuous supervision through reflective practice. However, implementation gaps exist between principal and teacher perspectives, and external stakeholder involvement in evaluation remains limited. Through SWOT analysis, we identify six priority strategies: human resource capacity strengthening, resource optimization, technology utilization, partnership strengthening, monitoring and evaluation system development, and learning organization cultivation. The study contributes to understanding how IH-ECE principles translate into practice in resource-constrained settings and offers implications for policy and practice in similar contexts across the Global South.
