Abstract

Education is a pillar of national development because it determines the quality of human resources. The leadership of school principals plays a strategic role in enhancing the motivation and performance of teachers, particularly history teachers, who play a vital role in shaping students’ character and competencies. This study aims to analyze the contribution of school principal leadership to the performance of history teachers at Palu State High School 5 and to describe teachers’ performance achievements in the classroom. The study employs a qualitative approach using the case study method. The research subjects included the principal, the vice principal for curriculum, history teachers, and students in grades 11–12. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods involving data reduction, narrative presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that the principal effectively fulfills a dual role as a supervisor, evaluator, and motivator. The principal guides teachers through formal and informal supervision, routinely monitors and evaluates learning, and encourages professional development by creating a conducive environment and providing recognition. This leadership contributes positively to the performance of history teachers, as evidenced by their mastery of subject matter, effective use of class time, appropriate pedagogical strategies, use of instructional media, and educational interactions with students. As a result, the principal’s leadership has enhanced professionalism, discipline, creativity, and the quality of education at Palu State High School No. 5.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of the Pancasila Student Profile dimensions in history learning and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) at SMA Negeri 4 Palu. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation of the vice principal for curriculum and history teachers. The results show that the implementation of the six dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile, namely faith and noble character, global diversity, mutual cooperation, independence, critical thinking, and creativity, has been integrated into history learning through discussions, event analysis, and project-based activities such as clippings, debates, and the creation of replicas of historical objects. The dimension of mutual cooperation was the easiest to implement because it was supported by group work, while critical thinking was a challenge due to differences in students' analytical abilities. Supporting factors included school management support, teacher collaboration, training, and the availability of facilities. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include time constraints, the influence of globalization and technology, and disparities in student abilities. Overall, the implementation of P5 contributes positively to shaping the character and competencies of students in accordance with the values of Pancasila.

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought significant changes to the world of education, one of which is through the use of ChatGPT as a learning tool for students. This study aims to examine the use of ChatGPT by students in the History Education Program at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Tadulako University, in completing academic assignments, as well as to analyze their perceptions and the impact of its use. The method used was descriptive qualitative research with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that students utilize ChatGPT to simplify course material, draft academic assignments such as papers and essays, and identify initial references. Students assessed ChatGPT as having perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use that support the efficient completion of academic tasks. However, its use also leads to negative impacts, including dependency, the risk of plagiarism, and the potential for a decline in critical thinking skills. Thus, ChatGPT serves as a complementary learning tool, not a replacement for primary academic sources. This study concludes that the use of ChatGPT must be balanced with digital literacy and academic ethics so that its positive impacts can be optimized and its negative impacts minimized.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of history teachers in shaping the character of students in class 2A at SMA Negeri 2 Palu and to identify the obstacles encountered in the process. The study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to understand the experiences of teachers and students regarding the effectiveness of history learning in instilling character values. Data collection techniques included observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, while data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that history learning was effective in shaping student character when the material was integrated with moral values such as discipline, responsibility, religiosity, nationalism, honesty, and social awareness. The strategies used by teachers included emphasizing discipline, setting an example, religious habits, group discussions, the use of visual media, and the proportional giving of rewards and punishments. The school's support through learning facilities also strengthened the process of internalizing values. Despite challenges in the form of environmental influences and the negative behavior of some students, history learning was proven to contribute significantly to shaping students' positive attitudes, responsibility, and national awareness.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country with a diverse array of ethnic groups, cultures, and religions, including Hinduism, which encompasses a wide range of traditions and religious practices. In the lives of Hindu communities, the role of traditional leaders is crucial as spiritual guides who lead the performance of religious rituals and ceremonies. This study aims to identify the requirements for becoming a traditional leader, the regulations that must be followed, and the role of traditional leaders in the implementation and preservation of Hindu marriage traditions in Mayasari Village, South Pamona Subdistrict, Poso Regency. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The research informants consisted of traditional leaders, serati, and community members involved in the wedding ceremonies. The results of the study indicate that traditional leaders are selected based on good conduct, physical and spiritual health, as well as the ability to maintain personal purity and remain neutral. Traditional leaders are also required to adhere to rules regarding personal purity and moral ethics. During the marriage ceremony, traditional leaders lead the series of rituals, determine the auspicious date, oversee the preparation of offerings, and guide the community to ensure the rituals align with religious and traditional teachings. Additionally, traditional leaders play a role in preserving traditions through community education and the enforcement of customary laws. Thus, traditional leaders play a strategic role in preserving the continuity of Hindu marriage traditions in Mayasari Village.
