Abstract

This study investigates the role of school principals as change leaders in implementing the Independent Curriculum in Indonesia. It explores their strategies, innovative practices, and the factors contributing to both the successes and challenges of curriculum application. Adopting a qualitative methodology, data were gathered through purposive sampling, with school principals serving as primary informants. The findings reveal that principals are instrumental in driving curriculum reform by engaging in academic supervision, cultivating collaborative school environments, and promoting student-centered learning approaches. Key strategies identified include organizing professional development initiatives, fostering stakeholder partnerships, and efficiently managing resources to align teaching methodologies with the curriculum’s objectives. Innovative practices, such as establishing professional learning communities and introducing project-based learning activities, further facilitate the curriculum's adoption. The study identifies several factors that support the implementation of the Independent Curriculum, including active teacher involvement, government-sponsored training programs, and curriculum designs tailored to local contexts. The study highlights the critical need for continuous professional development, comprehensive strategic planning, and consistent policy support to overcome these obstacles. Effective leadership by school principals is essential for fostering a positive school culture and encouraging collaboration among stakeholders, thereby enabling systemic transformation.

Abstract

This study aims to develop the SAKOLA (School Administration System) application, an Android-based tool designed to enhance the assessment process in Physical Education, Sports, and Health learning in elementary schools. Employing the Research and Development (R&D) methodology with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), the study systematically addressed existing challenges faced by teachers in conducting assessments. Observations in Padang City elementary schools revealed significant difficulties, including manual processes, inadequate facilities, and a lack of technological tools for recording, analyzing, and communicating learning outcomes. The School Administration System (SAKOLA) application was designed to address these issues by providing features such as automatic summarization of assessments, mobile accessibility, and user-friendly navigation. The results demonstrated that the application is highly valid, with expert evaluations yielding an average validity score of 82.86%, categorized as "very valid". Practicality testing further confirmed its usability, with scores consistently categorized as "very good" across individual, group, and field tests. The application also proved effective in improving assessment efficiency and user satisfaction. These findings establish the SAKOLA application as a valid, practical, and effective tool, offering a significant advancement in the management of learning assessments for Physical Education, Sports, and Health in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of video tutorial media on students' interest and learning outcomes in fine arts, particularly shape drawing, compared to traditional teaching methods. Using a quantitative approach, the study involved pretests, posttests, and questionnaires to measure learning interest indicators interest, attention, motivation, and knowledge as well as learning outcomes. The study population consisted of 317 students, with Class X Natural Sciences 4 as the experimental group and Class X Natural Sciences 5 as the control group, selected through random sampling. The experimental group used video tutorials, while the control group relied on print media and blackboards. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 16.0 and Microsoft Excel. Results revealed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher average scores in learning interest (42.52) and learning outcomes (85.39) compared to the control group (33.38 and lower scores, respectively). A significance level of 0.000 (<0.05) confirmed the substantial effect of video tutorials on learning interest and outcomes. The findings highlight that video tutorials enhance students' engagement, comprehension, and motivation, suggesting the need for innovative instructional media in fine arts education to foster better learning experiences.

Results indicate that these styles improve teacher motivation, organizational commitment, and the quality of the teaching-learning process. Additionally, supervision methods leveraging technology, such as AVOS-based CCTV systems, were found to enhance monitoring and feedback mechanisms while minimizing classroom disruptions. Despite the advantages, challenges such as limited resources, technical issues, and resistance to change remain. The findings underscore the importance of continuous training, robust evaluation systems, and strong support from superiors in enhancing supervisory performance. Effective leadership in educational supervision is characterized by clear communication, a shared vision, and proactive support for teachers and students. This study concludes that adopting innovative supervision approaches and effective leadership styles can significantly improve educational quality.
