Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed educational systems and demands a high level of school readiness in terms of technology, organizational culture, and human resources. However, many schools remain inadequately prepared due to school leadership that has not fully adapted to digital transformation. This study aims to analyze how principals’ digital leadership influences school readiness in facing the AI era. Employing a qualitative approach, this research uses a systematic library research method by reviewing relevant scientific publications published between 2021 and 2026. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns, key concepts, and dominant findings related to digital leadership and school readiness. The findings reveal that principals’ digital leadership plays a significant role in enhancing school readiness through three interconnected dimensions: the formulation of a strategic digital vision and effective management of digital infrastructure, the development of a supportive digital culture within the school environment, and the facilitation of continuous teacher professional development in response to AI-driven educational demands. These dimensions collectively contribute to the creation of an adaptive and sustainable school ecosystem. The study implies that principals must function as change agents who not only provide technological resources but also strategically strengthen institutional systems, organizational culture, and human resource capacities to ensure the effective and responsible implementation of AI in schools.

Abstract

The implementation of the Independent Curriculum requires effective management to improve the quality of education at the educational unit level. A curriculum that provides flexibility and is student-oriented requires planned, collaborative, and contextual management for optimal implementation. This study aims to understand the implementation of the Independent Curriculum management in improving the quality of education at SMP Negeri 46 Merangin, as well as to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach with research subjects including the principal, vice principal for curriculum, and teachers. Data were obtained through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the Independent Curriculum management at SMP Negeri 46 Merangin is implemented through contextual curriculum planning, student-centered learning implementation, and the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project. This curriculum management contributes positively to increasing learning activity, learning quality, and strengthening student character. These findings confirm that the targeted and adaptive management of the Independent Curriculum plays a crucial role in achieving quality and sustainable education.

Abstract

Researcher reflexivity has become an important principle within the post-positivist paradigm because it enhances transparency, integrity, and the quality of scientific inquiry. This study aims to analyze and synthesize the development of research on researcher reflexivity within the post-positivist paradigm, focusing on its conceptual development, implementation practices, contributions to research quality, and challenges in its application. This study employed a qualitative research design using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Relevant literature published between 2022 and 2026 was identified, selected, and analyzed through a thematic synthesis approach to explore patterns and emerging themes related to researcher reflexivity. The findings indicate that reflexivity has developed beyond a personal reflective process into a methodological strategy that strengthens research trustworthiness through credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability. The study implies that integrating reflexivity practices systematically can support more transparent, accountable, and rigorous research processes. Furthermore, this synthesis provides a conceptual foundation for researchers and scholars to develop improved methodological frameworks that recognize the researcher’s role in knowledge construction.
