Abstract

This study examines the implementation of holistic leadership in strengthening character education amidst the challenges of the digital era at SDN 17 Tungkal Ilir, Indonesia. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation analysis involving the principal, teachers, and community stakeholders. The findings reveal a three-tier strategic framework: first, the principal serves as the primary role model through a consistent “5S” culture (Greet, Smile, Salutation, Politeness, Courtesy), creating a ripple effect of integrity; second, character values are internalized through structured routines, including the “7 Habits of Happy Kids” program, daily reflection journals, and Scouting as a character laboratory for discipline and independence; third, the school establishes a “School Fortress” (Benteng Sekolah) by integrating formal partnerships with the Police and parents to mitigate external negative influences such as online gambling and gadget addiction. The study concludes that holistic leadership, which synchronizes exemplary behavior, consistent habituation, and cross-sectoral collaboration, effectively fortifies student character even within resource-constrained and technologically challenging environments. The novelty lies in the integrated framework combining role modeling, structured routines, and external partnerships as a unified response to digital-era moral risks. Practically, this model offers a replicable strategy for schools facing similar challenges. The study contributes to educational leadership literature by demonstrating how holistic leadership can transcend conventional teaching to address structural constraints and moral degradation risks in contemporary schooling contexts.

Abstract

This quantitative correlational study examined the influence of curriculum implementation and teacher motivation on student academic achievement at SMA Negeri 1 Semendawai Barat, South Sumatra, Indonesia, during the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. Data were collected from 41 teachers and principals using validated Likert-scale questionnaires (Cronbach's α = 0.982 for curriculum, 0.942 for motivation, 0.927 for achievement) and documented academic records. Multiple regression analysis revealed that curriculum implementation significantly predicted student achievement (β = 0.824, p < 0.001), explaining 67.9% of the variance. Teacher motivation also demonstrated significant predictive power (β = 0.742, p < 0.001). Simultaneously, both variables accounted for 76.9% of the variance in student academic achievement (F = 100.086, p < 0.001). These findings highlight that curriculum reform effectiveness depends on motivated teachers who can translate policy into meaningful classroom practice. The study contributes empirical evidence from an under-researched rural Indonesian context and offers practical implications for curriculum leadership, teacher professional development, and instructional supervision in similar settings. School improvement efforts should integrate curriculum strengthening with teacher motivation strategies rather than addressing them separately.

Abstract

Teacher motivation is fundamental to instructional quality, yet research examining its contextual determinants in rural elementary schools remains limited. This study investigated the effects of student discipline and learning facilities on teacher motivation in public elementary schools in Semendawai Barat District, Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was employed with a sample of 60 teachers selected purposively from three representative schools. Data were collected using validated Likert-scale questionnaires measuring student discipline, learning facilities, and teacher motivation. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that student discipline significantly predicted teacher motivation (β = 0.506, p < 0.001), and learning facilities also demonstrated a significant positive effect (β = 0.335, p < 0.001). Together, both predictors explained 77.3% of the variance in teacher motivation (R² = 0.773, adjusted R² = 0.769). Student discipline emerged as the stronger predictor, suggesting that classroom behavioral climate is particularly influential in shaping teachers’ professional motivation. The findings indicate that teacher motivation is substantially shaped by the immediate teaching environment rather than being solely an individual psychological attribute. Strengthening student discipline through consistent school policies and improving learning facilities through targeted resource allocation should be integrated priorities in elementary school management. This study contributes empirical evidence from a rural Indonesian context to the growing literature on teacher motivation as an ecological construct.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the abilities of the teaching staff in order to increase student confidence in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at Sekolah Dasar Negeri 212 Palembang. One of the key factors in ensuring the success of curriculum implementation is the teacher’s ability to make learning more flexible, creative, and engaging for students. The method of research that is used is a qualitative approach using data collection techniques such as observation, documentation, and interviews. The study’s findings indicate that a teacher’s pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies significantly contribute to the improvement of the quality of the teaching process and the learning outcomes of the students. In addition, the active teacher in implementing the Merdeka curriculum can create innovative and flexible learning environments that meet the needs of students. This study recommends teachers increase their students’ learning and development so that their skills continuously improve when learning a new curriculum.
