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.

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

This study aims to examine the influence of teacher performance and school environment on the implementation of the Curriculum Merdeka at SMA Negeri 5 Palembang. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed. The sample consisted of 68 teachers selected purposively. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. Findings revealed that: (1) teacher performance significantly influences Curriculum Merdeka implementation (p = 0.000 < 0.05) with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.646; (2) school environment significantly influences curriculum implementation (p = 0.000 < 0.05) with R² of 0.586; and (3) simultaneously, both variables significantly affect implementation (p = 0.000 < 0.05) with R² of 0.723, indicating that 72.3% of the variance in curriculum implementation is explained by teacher performance and school environment together. The research provides early empirical validation of key determinants specifically influencing the rollout of Indonesia's new Curriculum Merdeka policy, examining both human and contextual factors within a localized school setting. Schools should prioritize continuous teacher professional development and cultivate supportive physical and psychosocial environments to ensure effective curriculum implementation aligned with policy objectives. The study contributes evidence-based insights to educational policy discourse, demonstrating that successful curriculum reform requires simultaneous investment in teacher quality and conducive institutional conditions.
