Abstract

This research is motivated by the performance of teachers who have not met expectations not only in delivering subjects, but also in shaping students with good personalities and skills. One way to improve teacher performance is through effective principal leadership. This study aims to describe and analyze the transformational leadership of principals in improving teacher performance at SDN Mekarjaya and SDN Cinerang 2. The focus of this study is on four main indicators of transformational leadership: charisma, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individual attention. This research is based on the transformational leadership theory proposed by Bass and Avolio. Transformational leadership focuses on developing the potential of subordinates through an inspiring and motivating approach. Principals who implement this leadership style are believed to create a conducive work environment, inspire teachers to improve their performance, and support their professional development. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with principals and teachers, and document review relevant to teacher performance. The results of the study indicate that the transformational leadership of the principal in both locations successfully improved teacher performance. Principals who adopted this leadership style were able to create an environment that supported creativity, innovation, and cooperation among teachers. Teachers felt more motivated and received support in the development of learning and evaluation. Effective communication and individual attention from the principal also contributed significantly to improving teacher performance. The transformational leadership of the principal had a significant influence on improving teacher performance. The conclusion of this study is that the principal has successfully prioritized inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individual attention, the principal has succeeded in creating a conducive atmosphere for teacher professional development.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low reading literacy in Indonesia, as evidenced by the PISA 2025 ranking that places Indonesia at 70th out of 80 countries, becoming a major challenge for the world of education. Although the government has issued various regulations such as the National Education System Law and the School Literacy Movement (GLS) to foster a reading culture, implementation in the field still faces obstacles, as indicated by fluctuations in literacy scores on the Education Report Card. This study aims to analyze reading literacy management at SDN Kemirimuka 2 and SDN Beji Timur 1. The theory of this research is to examine the management cycle according to Hanry Fayol which includes planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, and controlling. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with a multiple case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The results of the study indicate that systematic and structured management of reading literacy programs based on Fayol's management principles is able to create a conducive learning environment and support a significant increase in students' reading abilities. Reading literacy management in both schools was implemented well. It has been proven that the implementation of Reading Literacy management using Henry Fayol's theory can improve the learning achievements of elementary school students.

Abstract

Improving education quality is a national priority, yet teacher quality in Indonesia still faces significant challenges. This study aims to analyze the managerial role of school principals in enhancing teachers' professional competence. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, the research was conducted at two vocational high schools with different challenges: SMK Negeri 1 Agrabinta and SMK Negeri 1 Leles in Cianjur Regency. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The results show that both school principals successfully and effectively implemented the POAC (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling) management cycle. Program planning was based on a real analysis of teacher needs, while organizing was done through clear task delegation and internal collaboration. Implementation was carried out through innovative programs such as In-House Training and the adoption of learning models such as PjBL (Project-Based Learning) and Teaching Factory. Evaluation was conducted systematically, using both data-driven comprehensive and direct-feedback formative approaches. Despite facing classic constraints such as limited time, budget, and varied teacher participation, the principals applied adaptive solutions. These solutions included flexible scheduling, utilizing internal resources (teacher mentors, alumni), and strengthening a culture of sharing. These findings affirm that strong, solution-oriented managerial leadership by school principals is the key to overcoming challenges and significantly improving teacher competence, ultimately contributing to the creation of qualified and competitive graduates.
