Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of pedagogical competence, professional competence, and teacher attitudes on the effectiveness of National Plus Curriculum implementation. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed, with data collected through a census survey involving teachers. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine both partial and simultaneous relationships among variables. The results show that pedagogical competence, professional competence, and teacher attitudes each have a positive and statistically significant effect on the effectiveness of curriculum implementation. Simultaneously, these variables demonstrate a strong combined influence on implementation effectiveness. Among the three factors, teacher attitude exhibits the largest effect size, indicating that motivation, commitment, and openness to curriculum change play a dominant role in supporting effective implementation. These findings imply that successful implementation of the National Plus Curriculum depends not only on teachers’ instructional skills and professional expertise but also on the development of positive attitudes toward curriculum change. Therefore, professional development programs should integrate competence enhancement with strategies aimed at strengthening teachers’ motivation and readiness for curricular innovation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of curriculum, facilities, location, and brand image on parents’ decisions to enroll their children at an integrated early childhood and primary education institution. Employing a quantitative approach with a survey design, data were collected from 55 parents of students in the 2025/2026 academic year selected from a population of 77 respondents. The data were obtained using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to examine the relationships among variables. The results reveal that curriculum has a positive and significant effect on parents’ school choice decisions, indicating that curriculum relevance, quality, and future orientation play a crucial role in shaping parental preferences. In contrast, school facilities and location do not show a significant influence, suggesting that these factors are perceived as basic requirements rather than key differentiators in the school selection process. Furthermore, brand image has a positive and significant effect and emerges as the most dominant factor influencing parents’ decisions, as a strong school image fosters trust, reflects perceived educational quality, and enhances parental confidence. These findings imply that for newly established schools, the development of a strong and relevant curriculum supported by effective brand image management is essential to influence parents’ enrollment decisions, while facilities and location function primarily as supporting factors rather than main determinants.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of Educational Service Quality on Parents’ Word of Mouth (WOM) Intention through Parental Satisfaction in Early Childhood Education. Educational service quality is conceptualized as a second-order construct formed by the five SERVQUAL dimensions: Tangibles, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy. A quantitative explanatory design was employed using a survey method involving parents of children enrolled in a private early childhood education institution in Surabaya, Indonesia. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results reveal that Educational Service Quality has a strong positive effect on Parental Satisfaction, which in turn significantly influences Parents’ WOM Intention. Mediation analysis confirms that Parental Satisfaction serves as a significant intervening variable in transmitting the effect of service quality on WOM intention. At the dimensional level, Reliability and Responsiveness emerge as the strongest contributors to perceived service quality. These findings imply that early childhood education institutions should prioritize satisfaction-oriented service management by strengthening reliable administrative systems and responsive communication practices to enhance parental advocacy, institutional legitimacy, and sustainable competitiveness.

Abstract

Teacher performance is a crucial determinant of educational quality as it directly influences instructional effectiveness and student learning outcomes. This study aimed to examine the effects of academic supervision, work motivation, and work discipline on teacher performance. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 35 teachers selected through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using validated and reliable Likert-scale questionnaires and supported by Teacher Performance Appraisal documentation. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings revealed that academic supervision did not have a significant effect on teacher performance (p > .05). In contrast, work motivation had a significant positive effect (p < .05), and work discipline demonstrated the strongest positive influence (p < .05). Simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly predicted teacher performance, indicating that a substantial proportion of variance in performance was explained by the model. These results imply that improving teacher performance requires prioritizing strategies that strengthen work motivation and reinforce work discipline, while enhancing the effectiveness and practical implementation of academic supervision practices.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of knowledge, trust, perceived usefulness, security, and service features on customers’ decisions to use Internet Banking. The research employed a quantitative, associative research design to examine causal relationships among variables. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 120 bank customers who had previously used Internet Banking services. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression supported by statistical software to examine both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on customers’ decisions. The results show that knowledge, trust, perceived usefulness, security, and service features each have a positive and significant effect on customers’ decisions to use Internet Banking. Among these variables, perceived usefulness was found to be the most dominant factor influencing adoption decisions. The simultaneous test also indicates that all independent variables collectively have a significant effect on customers’ decisions to adopt Internet Banking services. These findings imply that improving customers’ understanding of digital banking, strengthening system security, building customer trust, and enhancing service features are essential strategies for increasing the adoption of Internet Banking services.
