Abstract

Teacher professionalism is not only related to individual competence but is also supported by leadership practices within the school. Transactional leadership is important to examine because it concerns work expectations, supervision, rewards, and corrective actions in teachers’ duties. This study aimed to analyze the transactional leadership practices of the principal in relation to teacher professionalism at SMP Negeri 3 Sungai Ambawang. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design to gain an in-depth understanding of transactional leadership practices in the school context. Informants consisted of the principal, two vice principals, and five teachers selected purposively based on their involvement and relevance to the research focus. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation, and were analyzed interactively through data reduction, manual coding, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Data validity was established through source triangulation involving informants and methodological triangulation by integrating interview findings with evidence from observations and documentation. The findings showed that transactional leadership was manifested through motivation, supervision, rewards, and sanctions. These practices were reinforced through communication, role modeling, guidance, appreciation, monitoring, and gradual corrective actions. The findings indicate that transactional leadership in the school context does not rely solely on rewards and sanctions but also on teacher guidance and involvement. The implication is that transactional leadership needs to be implemented contextually through clear responsibilities, monitoring, appreciation, corrective actions, communication, and guidance.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and describe the implementation of a cultural literacy policy in enhancing students’ learning interest at SMA Negeri 3 Binjai. Cultural literacy represents a strategic effort by schools to develop students’ character, broaden their knowledge, and foster learning interest through reading activities, understanding local cultural values, and the systematic integration of literacy practices into the school environment. This policy is aligned with the School Literacy Movement (Gerakan Literasi Sekolah/GLS), which promotes literacy as an integral component of the learning culture in educational settings. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design to explore and analyze the implementation of the cultural literacy policy in depth. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Participants were selected using purposive sampling based on their involvement in implementing the cultural literacy program at the school. The findings indicate that the cultural literacy policy at SMA Negeri 3 Binjai has been implemented relatively well and has contributed positively to students’ learning interest. The policy is implemented through various activities, including pre-learning reading sessions, the provision of reading corners in each classroom, and the integration of local cultural values into school activities. These programs have encouraged students’ reading engagement, curiosity, and appreciation of local culture, which in turn have contributed to increased learning interest. Supporting factors include teachers’ commitment and active involvement in guiding and motivating students, as well as the availability of adequate facilities to support literacy activities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of maritime industry link and match and strategic policy on employee performance and to examine the role of work culture as a moderating variable among employees of the PIP Semarang and Poltekpel Sumbar. This research employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. The population consisted of 521 employees, with a pilot test sample of 53 respondents and a research sample of 468 respondents selected through total sampling. Data were collected using an online questionnaire via Google Form and analyzed using SEM-PLS with SmartPLS 3. The results show that maritime industry link and match and strategic policy contribute to employee performance, while work culture does not significantly moderate the effect of maritime industry link and match or strategic policy on employee performance. These findings indicate that policy clarity and the alignment with maritime industry needs are more dominant in explaining employee performance than work culture as a strengthening factor.

Abstract

This study aims to examine Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s concept of being for others in Christian ethics and explore its relevance as a foundation for developing religious tolerance character among high school students. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation involving a school principal, a Christian Religious Education teacher, and three high school students. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and verification, with source triangulation employed to enhance the credibility of the findings. The findings reveal that Bonhoeffer’s concept of being for others, reflected in the values of love, care, responsibility, solidarity, respect for human dignity, and willingness to serve others, provides a meaningful ethical foundation for cultivating religious tolerance among high school students. These values encourage students to recognize differences, respect individuals from different religious backgrounds, develop empathy, and promote harmonious relationships within a multicultural environment. The study contributes theoretically by extending the application of Bonhoeffer’s Christian ethical thought to the contemporary discourse on religious tolerance and character education. Practically, it provides an ethical framework that can inform Christian Religious Education and school-based character education programs aimed at fostering inclusive, respectful, and peaceful interreligious relations among students. The study therefore demonstrates that the principle of being for others has significant relevance for strengthening religious tolerance character education in multicultural educational contexts such as Sintang Regency.

Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent difficulties in social communication and behavioral–attentional regulation, which in inclusive education settings manifest as reduced sustained attention, emotional regulation, and classroom participation. This integrative literature review synthesizes contemporary theoretical and empirical evidence on the relationship between dietary-related physiological mechanisms and classroom-relevant behavioral outcomes. A structured search of Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar was conducted to identify relevant peer-reviewed literature. Retrieved studies were screened by inclusion and exclusion criteria and synthesized thematically. Findings suggest that microbiota-targeted and multicomponent dietary interventions may be associated with improvements in behavioral regulation, although results remain heterogeneous across studies and intervention types. Reported effects include reductions in irritability, improved emotional stability, and decreased sensory dysregulation, which may support behavioral readiness for structured learning. The review concludes that dietary interventions should be understood as indirect facilitators of educational accessibility rather than direct cognitive enhancers. These findings support the integration of nutritional considerations within inclusive education frameworks through multidisciplinary collaboration among educators, families, and healthcare professionals to enhance classroom engagement in students with ASD.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the challenge of strengthening students' leadership spirit at PTKIS Kopertais Region XII Riau-Kepri, where many students lack confidence in taking the initiative and actively participating. The aim of the research is to analyze the influence of the Islamic Social Entrepreneurship (ISE) approach on strengthening students' leadership skills and identify supporting and inhibiting factors. Quantitative methods with survey techniques using Likert scale questionnaires were applied to a sample of students selected at simple random. Research findings reveal that the ISE approach has a significant effect in strengthening leadership, reflected in the ability to make decisions based on social impact (81.9%), confidence in leading a team (72.8%), and increased social responsibility (90.9%). However, ISE implementation still faces challenges in the form of limited funds (63.7%), time (63.7%), and low training participation (36.4%). Based on These findings recommend integrating ISE courses in the curriculum, providing special funding schemes, developing sustainable training programs, and more intensive technical assistance to create an ISE ecosystem that is conducive to the formation of leadership with character and social orientation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse in depth the architecture of micro-learning strategies in the classroom through the application of dialogic pedagogy, which focuses on the PAI teacher's stimulation tactics and students' verbal interaction patterns in the internalization of tolerance values. Using a qualitative approach with a classroom-based intrinsic case study design, this research observed the interactions of a senior PAI teacher and eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 05 Rejang Lebong for three months. Data were collected through passive participant observation of eight class sessions, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and curriculum documentation, which were then analyzed using condensation models, narrative presentation, and interactive conclusion drawing. The results revealed that the formation of a dialectical classroom is driven by three teacher micro-tactics: posing dialectical questions based on local problematic case studies, persuasive discursive mediation that deconstructs exclusive textual understandings, and the construction of a psychologically safe space. This tactical orchestration successfully shifted the classroom communication structure from the traditional unidirectional Initiation-Response-Evaluation (IRE) pattern to a pattern of independent, multidirectional interactions among students. These dynamic activated students’ critical agency and cultural empathy, fostering a sharp conceptual separation between the realms of personal theology and socio-humanitarian ethics based on the empirical reality around them. The scientific novelty of this research formulates a practical model of "Inclusive Discursive Citizenship," proving that the local cultural heterogeneity of students in a suburban transitional area actually transforms into rich socio-pedagogical capital. This study recommends restructuring Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teaching modules based on local dilemmas to transform religious education classes into inclusive and emancipatory spaces for negotiating meaning.

Abstract

Indonesia is a maritime country with a large potential in fisheries, however it has a big challenge to fulfill the market needs, especially for the commodities of freshwater fish like tilapia, catfish, and carp. Capital constraints, technology and small-tomedium scale producers mean that capacity aquaculture production cannot reliably fulfill the demands of industry. Additionally, the lack of supply chain integration, distribution inefficiencies, and low transaction transparency often lead to price fluctuations and potential fraud. To address these issues, this research designs and implements an integrated information system called Iwak Nusantara. The system is developed as a web-based platform to support large-scale order management, real-time production recording, and distribution coordination among aquaculture farmers. The traceability system for aquaculture is incorporated as well to enable traceability from upstream to downstream of products, thus contributing to transparency, accountability and security of transactions. By demonstrating a replicable model for integrating order aggregation, production recording, and traceability into a single platform, this study offers practical guidance for system developers, policymakers, and aquaculture extension practitioners seeking to strengthen the digital readiness of small-scale fisheries actors, while also contributing a concrete empirical reference point for future research on information system design in resource-constrained, multi-stakeholder food supply chains.
