Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of SWOT analysis in improving the quality of education at Elementary School 13 Pasaman, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and develop strategies for quality improvement. A descriptive qualitative method with a case study design was employed, utilizing observation, interviews, and documentation for data collection. The data were analyzed using triangulation. The SWOT analysis revealed several key findings: 1) strengths include the school’s strategic location, well-maintained facilities and infrastructure, qualified teaching staff, a conducive school climate, and coordinated assessment standards involving parents; 2) weaknesses stem from limited parental involvement in the school environment; 3) opportunities include strong parental support for academic and non-academic needs, student achievements in competitions, and harmonious relations with the surrounding community; and 4) challenges involve critical attitudes from student guardians requiring teachers to make thoughtful decisions. Supporting factors for SWOT implementation include proactive stakeholders, such as engaged staff and a progressive principal who promotes strategic planning and development. Inhibiting factors include insufficient community support and understanding of school management. Strategies for quality improvement involve enhancing Koran recitation programs, strengthening character education, expanding extracurricular activities, creating unique school programs, and improving student counseling services.

Abstract

The study aims to offer actionable insights to improve student enrollment rates and enhance recruitment strategies. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and a SWOT analysis framework, the study explores both internal and external factors influencing the New Student Admissions (NSA). Key findings reveal that the school implements NSA through structured planning, which includes evaluating capacity and class size, setting transparent admission criteria, and adhering to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The admission process comprises three main stages: registration, announcement of accepted students, and re-registration. The school leverages its strengths, such as a strong reputation, strategic location, and competent educators, while addressing weaknesses like limited promotion and outdated enrollment systems. Opportunities, including population growth and government support, are strategically utilized, while threats like competition from neighboring schools and zoning policies are mitigated. The study concludes that a well-structured NSA process, combined with insights from SWOT analysis, enhances the school’s ability to attract and retain students. Recommendations focus on improving promotional outreach, investing in technological upgrades, and fostering community engagement to ensure equitable and quality education.

Abstract

This study aims to explore strategies for enhancing teacher motivation and job satisfaction at Senior High School (SHS) 1 Timpeh, Dharmasraya Regency, as a means to improve the overall quality of education. Employing a mixed-method approach, the study integrates qualitative insights from literature analysis with quantitative data from a survey. The survey involved a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to all teachers at SHS 1 Timpeh, focusing on eight key factors influencing motivation and satisfaction: teaching quality, management support, work environment, professional development, recognition, interpersonal relationships, workload, and opportunities for innovation. Data analysis revealed that teaching quality (average score 4.2, 85% agreement), interpersonal relationships (4.1, 82%), and a positive work environment (4.0, 80%) were the most influential factors, in fostering motivation and satisfaction. However, workload (2.7, 40%) and limited access to professional development (3.5, 65%) were identified as significant challenges. Based on these findings, the study recommends implementing continuous training programs, establishing a fair reward system, and improving communication between management and teachers. These strategies aim to create a more supportive and productive work culture, reducing stress and enhancing motivation among educators. Ultimately, this study provides actionable insights for stakeholders to prioritize teacher welfare and achieve better educational outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the recruitment and selection processes for honorarium teachers at Senior High School (SHS) Sungai Aur, West Pasaman Regency, with a focus on their alignment with established theories and best practices. Utilizing a qualitative approach, data were collected through direct observations and semi-structured interviews with principals, vice principals, teaching staff, and school committee members. The findings reveal that the current recruitment system does not fully comply with theoretical frameworks. Specific gaps were identified in three critical areas: the socialization of opportunities, the selection process, and the announcement of results. Interviews emphasized the pivotal role of principals and committees in fostering transparent and collaborative communication to align recruitment decisions with institutional goals. However, challenges such as ineffective communication strategies, inconsistencies in candidate evaluations, and a lack of transparency in announcements were found to hinder the effectiveness of the recruitment process. The results highlight the need for a more structured and theory-driven approach to improve the selection and development of competent educators. These findings provide valuable insights into enhancing recruitment frameworks, which are essential for achieving institutional and national educational objectives.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how principals’ intellectual stimulation and teachers’ self-efficacy influence innovative behavior in educational settings. Using a literature review methodology, this study systematically examined and synthesized academic literature from national and international journals to explore the relationships between intellectual stimulation, self-efficacy, and teacher innovative behavior. Articles were selected based on criteria such as relevance, publication in peer-reviewed journals, and alignment with the study focus. The findings reveal that teachers' innovative behavior, characterized by idea exploration, generation, championing, and implementation, is significantly influenced by two key factors: intellectual stimulation and self-efficacy. Transformational leadership, particularly intellectual stimulation, encourages teachers to challenge conventional methods, think creatively, and feel supported in implementing innovative ideas. Simultaneously, high self-efficacy enhances teachers’ confidence in taking risks, experimenting with new teaching practices, and overcoming challenges. These two factors synergistically promote innovation by integrating external support from leadership with internal motivation and confidence. The study concludes that fostering teachers' innovative behavior requires strategic efforts at both the leadership and individual levels, including leadership training, professional development for teachers, and the creation of collaborative school environments.

Abstract

Effective communication is a key element in fostering synergy among teachers, principals, and the broader educational community. This article aims to examine the importance of effective communication in supporting teacher empowerment within schools. Using a literature review method, this study explores the concept of effective communication, its strategic role in enhancing teacher engagement, and its impact on educational success. Findings from various literature analyses reveal that effective communication in teacher empowerment is essential for improving work effectiveness in teaching activities, such as fostering teachers' creative ideas, conducting teacher training, facilitating communication in discussion groups, and simplifying the delivery of teaching materials to students. This study also highlights that effective communication not only serves as a tool for transmitting information but also functions as a medium for sharpening creativity, solving problems, and enhancing competencies, particularly for teachers. In the context of empowerment, strategic communication helps address common challenges faced by educators. Therefore, continuous efforts are necessary to enhance communication skills at all levels of school management to achieve optimal teacher empowerment.

Abstract

This study was motivated by findings on the implementation of the "Merdeka Curriculum" by Social Studies (teachers in Junior High School (JHS) in Bireuen Regency, where performance in teaching and learning responsibilities did not meet expectations. This was evident from the lack of analysis of learning evaluation results and the failure to implement 21st-century framework-based learning, which emphasizes student-centered teaching, critical thinking, and innovation. The research aims to 1) analyze the effect of work motivation on the work discipline of Social Studies teachers in JHS in Bireuen Regency; and 2) examine the combined effects of work motivation and discipline on their performance. The study involved 52 Social Studies teachers in Bireuen Regency, selected using Slovin's formula. Path analysis using SPSS was applied as the analytical technique, and the research employed a causal descriptive approach to investigate direct and indirect relationships between variables. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to respondents. The findings revealed that 1) work motivation significantly influences the work discipline of Social Studies teachers, indicating that improving teacher motivation enhances their discipline; and 2) work motivation and discipline significantly affect teacher performance, suggesting that enhancing both factors can improve the performance of Social Studies teachers in JHS in Bireuen Regency.

Abstract

The study explored the use of OCF for giving feedback in constructing relative clauses for Indonesian English learners. Using a quasi-experimental design, the sample covers 47 learners. The two classes were randomly assigned as the experiment group (N=25) using the OCF method and the control group (N=22) with the conventional one. Pre- and post-tests were given by asking learners to construct two sentences into relative clauses based on the theory of English grammar (Azar, 1998; 2009). The independent sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U test with the SPSS software program were used to analyze the data. The result revealed there was a statistically significant score difference.

Abstract

The goal of this study was to determine how student achievement motivation and the use of digital learning media affected primary school kids' literacy abilities. With a pretest-posttest control group design, this study is a quasi-experimental investigation. Three public elementary schools in West Pasaman Regency—SD Negeri 02 Pasaman, SD Negeri 03 Pasaman, and SD Negeri Pasaman—with a combined enrollment of 20 pupils each were used for this study. 60 students make up the sample in this study. Both tests and questionnaires were employed as data gathering tools. The following types of data analysis were used: the Normality test, the homogeneity test, the F test, the one-way ANOVA, and the follow-up test or Post Hoc. Results of the ANOVA test and statistical tests were calculated using the significance levels (sig.) = 0.000 and () = 0.05. This demonstrates that the rise in the N-gain score for literacy skills and the attainment of posttest scores differ. Digital learning tools have improved literacy skills by 79.28 percent (high category). This is better than traditional learning with a score of 52.77 including the medium category and learning with solely digital learning material in experimental class 2 with a value of 68.01 including the medium category.
