Abstract

This study aimed to determine and analyze the partial and simultaneous influence of principal managerial competence and teacher performance on graduate quality in public junior high schools within Tebing Tinggi District. Employing a quantitative ex post facto approach, data were collected via questionnaires and documentation from a sample of 135 teachers. Analysis was conducted using the SPSS program. The analysis concluded that: (1) principal managerial competence significantly influences graduate quality; (2) teacher performance significantly influences graduate quality; and (3) both factors together have a significant simultaneous influence on graduate quality. This study provides empirical validation of a combined leadership-instructional framework, simultaneously testing the direct and collective impact of both administrative and pedagogical variables on educational outcomes in a specific regional context. Findings suggest that school improvement initiatives should integrate targeted leadership development for principals with continuous teacher performance enhancement programs to effectively elevate graduate standards. The research offers a validated model for stakeholders, emphasizing that synergistic improvement in school management and classroom instruction is critical for advancing educational quality.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate teachers’ responses to curriculum changes and their impact on the teaching and learning activities at SMA Negeri 7 Prabumulih. Curriculum change is one aspect of the dynamics of the educational system that requires readiness and adjustment from educators who play an active role in the field. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving several teachers from various subject areas at the school. The findings show that teachers’ responses to curriculum changes are diverse, ranging from positive responses such as enthusiasm and readiness to adapt to negative responses such as confusion and rejection, caused by a lack of socialization and training. Some teachers faced challenges in understanding the content of the new curriculum and in applying a competency-based approach to learning. The consequences of these responses are apparent in the pedagogical approaches employed, the attainment of educational goals, and the students’ motivation to learn. This study suggests the necessity for ongoing training, rigorous mentoring, and efficient communication between policymakers and curriculum implementers in educational institutions to guarantee effective curriculum implementation and a beneficial influence on the quality of learning.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the round table and peer tutoring learning methods in increasing the learning motivation of tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 15 Palembang. The research is grounded in the need for innovative teaching strategies that promote active student participation and enhance conceptual understanding through group interaction and collaboration among peers. The Round Table model emphasizes cooperation and active communication in small groups, while peer tutoring involves students with greater subject mastery assisting their classmates in understanding the material. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Informants include the principal, vice principal of curriculum affairs, teachers, and tenth-grade students. The findings indicate that both methods significantly improve students’ motivation and engagement in learning. Supporting factors include teacher readiness, adequate facilities and infrastructure, and a collaborative learning environment. However, challenges such as limited implementation time and varying levels of student engagement within groups remain. Overall, the combination of the round table and peer tutoring methods has proven to be effective and serves as a viable alternative in enhancing students’ learning motivation.

Abstract

This study examines the structure, narrative context, and function of healing mantras in Biaro Baru Village, Karang Dapo District, North Musi Rawas Regency, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation from five informants (traditional healers/shamans) who actively use mantras in healing practices. Five healing mantras were recorded, transcribed, translated, and analyzed. The analysis focused on linguistic structure (using frameworks of oral literature analysis), narrative context (using Dell Hymes’ SPEAKING model), and social-cultural function. Results reveal that the healing mantras exhibit four structural elements: (1) rhyme (end-rhyme and initial-rhyme patterns); (2) rhythm (repetitive syllabic patterns creating a hypnotic quality); (3) repetition (of words, phrases, and sounds for emphasis and magical effect); and (4) distinctive diction (archaic words, code-switching between Musi Malay and Arabic). The narrative context is governed by strict norms regarding setting (typically at the patient’s home or specific ritual sites), timing (often at night or specific hours), participants (healer, patient, sometimes family members), and ritual preparations (offerings, water, specific objects). The mantras serve multiple complementary functions: magical-religious (invoking divine power for healing), therapeutic (providing psychological comfort to patients), social (reinforcing the healer’s role and community bonds), and cultural (preserving and transmitting local wisdom). This study contributes to the documentation of endangered oral traditions in Indonesia and provides a model for analyzing similar oral literature forms.

Abstract

This study examines the realization of language politeness in daily conversations using Javanese Krama Inggil in Gunung Terang Village, Madang Suku I District, East OKU Regency, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through observation, recording, and note-taking from 27 native Javanese speakers who actively use Krama Inggil in daily interactions. The analysis employed Geoffrey Leech's six politeness maxims: tact, generosity (acceptance), praise, humility, agreement, and sympathy. Of 27 utterances analyzed, 24 (88.9%) adhered to politeness principles, while 3 (11.1%) violated them. The maxim of praise was most frequently observed (6 utterances), followed by the maxim of tact (6 utterances), maxim of generosity (5 utterances), maxim of sympathy (3 utterances), maxim of agreement (2 utterances), and maxim of humility (2 utterances). Violations occurred in the maxims of generosity, praise, humility, and sympathy. The findings indicate that the Gunung Terang community maintains a relatively high level of politeness in Javanese Krama Inggil usage, though generational and social factors contribute to occasional violations. This study contributes to the documentation of Javanese politeness practices in transmigration communities outside Java, an under-researched context. The findings have implications for language preservation efforts and intercultural communication studies.
