Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the influence of instructional leadership and the school environment on teachers’ teaching service at State Junior High School in Pasaman Barat Regency, West Sumatra. Using a quantitative correlational research design, data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires from a sample of 156 teachers selected by stratified proportional random sampling. Descriptive statistics, simple regression, and multiple regression were employed to test the research hypotheses. The results indicate that instructional leadership has a positive and significant effect on teachers’ teaching service, and the school environment also has a positive and significant effect. These variables explain a substantial proportion of the variance in teachers’ teaching service. Strengthening principals’ instructional leadership and systematically improving school environmental conditions are strategic efforts to enhance the quality of teachers’ teaching service and, in turn, to support the improvement of educational quality at the junior high school level.

Abstract

The text written English grammar is a developed course within the latest outcome-based education curriculum in the English Education Department, previously referred to as Grammar course. The change in nomenclature signifies a shift in instructional focus. At the same time, the Grammar course generally provides all the rules and structures; the Text Written English Grammar course concentrates specifically on the grammatical rules applied in written contexts, highlighting the use of more precise and more complex sentence structures. The urgency of this research stems from the lack of teaching materials for the Text Written English Grammar course, as well as the challenges in accessing suitable resources for this subject. The research aimed to demonstrate the development of the Text Written English Grammar smart book and to assess the feasibility of this smart book, which is currently under development.” The research employed the research and development method, which includes four main stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy implementation on graduate competitiveness in Indonesian higher education, using Actor–Network Theory (ANT) as the mediating analytical lens. A quantitative research design using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-AMOS) was applied to responses from 250 graduates across various universities and fields of study, including MBKM participants and non-participants. The findings indicate that the effective implementation of the MBKM policy significantly enhances graduate competitiveness, both directly and indirectly, as influenced by actor-network dynamics involving universities, industry partners, and technical systems. Key elements, including communication, resource support, and collaborative engagement, are demonstrated to drive improvements in employability and labor-market readiness. The study advances higher education policy discourse by empirically demonstrating that policy success depends not only on structural design but also on the capacity of stakeholder networks to translate policy into meaningful graduate outcomes.

Abstract

Education demands continuous teaching and self-renewal to maintain instructional relevance amid evolving demands. This qualitative study examines the instructional supervision strategies employed by the principal at SD Pelita Fajar Elementary School to enhance teachers' capacity for self-renewal. Data were gathered through observation, interviews, and document analysis, and analyzed via NVivo 14 following Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's interactive model. Findings indicate that the principal implements collaborative, evidence-based strategies across planning, implementation, follow-up, and evaluation phases, anchored in instructional leadership. These foster a structured self-renewal cycle—exploration (diverse knowledge sourcing), exploitation (innovative media creation), absorption (skill internalization), and integration (collaborative embedding)—while addressing barriers like time constraints and low motivation through targeted solutions. The approach significantly enhances teachers' adaptability, problem-solving skills, and professional growth, underscoring the crucial role of supervision in sustainable development.

Abstract

This study develops and validates a transformational leadership assessment framework specifically tailored to universities, with the aim of enhancing institutional development. A quantitative approach was used, with data collected from academic leaders and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The measurement model demonstrated strong reliability and validity, while the structural model showed explanatory power (R² = 1.000), with nine leadership dimensions fully predicting transformational leadership. Bootstrapping results confirmed the significance of all dimensions, with Individualized Consideration and Transformational Traits emerging as the strongest contributors. The findings highlight the multidimensional nature of transformational leadership and its significance in promoting innovation, digital readiness, collaboration, and organizational resilience in higher education. The study concludes by providing a validated framework for leadership development, evidence-based decision-making, and AI-supported evaluation systems, offering universities a tool to strengthen institutional capacity and sustainable growth.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a comprehensive Teacher CPD (Continuous Professional Development) model integrating the TPACK framework with attitude and character knowledge. The model addressed both cognitive competencies, such as pedagogical, technological, and content knowledge, and non-cognitive competencies, including attitude and character traits. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from a survey of 1,012 teachers across Indonesia with qualitative data from interviews. The findings reveal that teachers prioritize pedagogical, professional, social, and personality competencies, while also emphasizing the importance of attitude and character for effective teaching. Teachers with strong character traits, such as empathy, responsibility, and integrity, were found to be more effective in integrating technology and fostering positive classroom environments. The study highlights the need for CPD programs to focus on both technical skills and emotional intelligence, offering a more holistic approach to teacher development in the digital age.
