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.

Abstract

The development of the coffee shop industry in Indonesia has encouraged businesses to implement digital communication strategies that can build emotional closeness with customers. Instagram has become an important medium in shaping brand narratives through experience-based storytelling. This study aims to examine the role of baristas as key actors in shaping service experience narratives, analyze storytelling forms through four pillars of Instagram content, and understand consumer responses to service experience-based content on the @_temanduduk Instagram account as a communication strategy to increase customer loyalty. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The research informants include the owner, baristas, and customers of Coffee Shop @_temanduduk who were selected purposively. The results show that baristas have a dominant role in building narratives through four content pillars, namely products, service, entertainment, and trends. These four pillars form a consistent, authentic storytelling structure that represents the daily service experience. The application of transmedia storytelling principles, such as worldbuilding, continuity, performance, and spreadability, encourages emotional and participatory audience engagement. Furthermore, storytelling based on the barista's service experience is effective in building customer trust and loyalty in the digital space.

Abstract

Enhancing teacher competence is a crucial factor for achieving effective learning quality in elementary schools. However, the implementation of academic supervision by principals as a primary coaching instrument often faces various challenges, ranging from time constraints to less impactful methods. This gap between the ideal role of supervision and the reality in the field motivates this research. Therefore, this study aims to describe and analyze in-depth the management of academic supervision at SDN 274 Cempaka Arum and SDN 052 Cisaranten Wetan in an effort to improve teacher competence. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method and applies George R. Terry's management framework (POAC) as its theoretical basis. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The research findings reveal two different yet equally effective management models. (1) SDN 274 Cempaka Arum implements a formal-structured model, characterized by systematic planning, team-based organization, implementation through clinical coaching, and documented evaluation. (2) Conversely, SDN 052 Cisaranten Wetan utilizes an informal-personal model, featuring flexible planning, principal-centered organization, a humanistic implementation, and direct, personal evaluation. The study also identifies the main constraint at SDN 274 as time limitation, which was addressed through delegation, while at SDN 052, it was potential subjectivity, which was overcome by prioritizing dialogue and trust. The conclusion of this study confirms that the management of academic supervision, planned and executed adaptively through either a formal-structured or an informal-personal model, is an essential function proven to enhance teacher competence, thereby directly impacting the improvement of learning quality in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of Teaching Factory (TeFa) management as a strategic instrument to increase the labor-market absorption of graduates of Vocational High Schools (SMK) in West Java, Indonesia. Although TeFa has been nationally mandated, the relatively high unemployment rate among SMK graduates in the province—12.42% in February 2025—indicates that many schools have not yet managed the program in an integrated, industry-oriented manner [5]. Using a qualitative approach and a comparative case study design, this research examines management practices at SMK Negeri 8 Bandung and SMK Negeri 2 Cimahi, both of which are regarded as information-rich cases. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings show that both schools implement TeFa using George R. Terry’s four management functions—planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling—although with different emphases. Planning is carried out through curriculum alignment and business-plan formulation in collaboration with industry partners. Organizing simulates real industrial work environments, complete with role distribution, job descriptions, and standardized student practice rooms. Actuating engages students in full production cycles, enabling them to acquire both technical and soft skills. Controlling is conducted through quality-control mechanisms, performance assessment, and follow-up programs, including tracer studies. The study concludes that a comprehensive and industry-linked Teaching Factory management model is a key factor in improving SMK graduates’ employability and competitiveness in the world of work.

Abstract

Interpersonal conflict is an increasingly visible problem in Indonesian lower secondary schools, as indicated by the 2024 monitoring report showing a sharp rise in bullying cases and peer tensions, thereby demanding a more systemic school-based response [1]. Yet school Guidance and Counselling (GC) services are often reactive, fragmented, and insufficiently managed, so they do not prevent conflict nor build students’ social competence. This study aims to analyze holistically how Guidance and Counselling management—implemented through the POAC cycle (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling)—can address students’ interpersonal conflict in a more adaptive and responsive way. Employing a qualitative approach with a multiple case study design at SMP Negeri 19 Bandung and SMP PGII 1 Bandung, data were collected through triangulated in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis and were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s interactive model. The findings show that both schools implemented GC management systematically: planning used a Developmental Task Instrument (DTI/ITP) to map needs; organizing was supported by clear structures and detailed case SOPs; actuating utilized a range of adaptive intervention strategies such as the Restitution Triangle, cognitive counselling, and responsive services; and controlling was guaranteed through strict case documentation, confidentiality, and periodic evaluation. The study concludes that adaptive, collaborative GC management with strong procedural adherence to POAC is effective in reducing conflict incidents, improving communication, and developing students’ social competence, and it offers a practical model of Integrated School Conflict Management.

Abstract

This study examines school–parent partnership strategies in supporting students’ transition from primary school to junior high school in two contrasting settings: SDN Tegallega 1 (urban) and SDN Murnisari (rural) in Cianjur Regency, Indonesia. Although national policies mandate family engagement and 12-year compulsory education, partnership practices at the school level are often still incidental, one-way, and not explicitly directed at preparing parents—academically, financially, and psychologically—to accompany their children to the next level. Using a qualitative multiple case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The findings show that both schools implemented partnership strategies consisting of joint program planning, parenting activities, learning assistance, and intensive communication through school committees. However, contextual differences shaped the emphasis: the urban school prioritized academic preparation and PPDB literacy, while the rural school emphasized motivation, moral support, and access facilitation. The study concludes that school–parent partnerships that are planned, participatory, and sustained can increase students’ readiness to continue to junior high school and strengthen positive relations among schools, parents, and students. The study recommends formalizing partnership programs in school work plans and developing two-way communication mechanisms tailored to local socio-economic conditions.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of digital-based academic supervision through the Ruang GTK platform by employing the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) cycle and its contribution to improving teacher competence at SDN Sukawangi and SDN 068 Cimincrang. The study is motivated by the need for a more transparent, systematic, and technology-enabled supervision model to meet contemporary quality-assurance demands in basic education. A descriptive qualitative case-study design was used. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis during the first semester of the 2024/2025 academic year, involving principals and teachers as key informants. Data were analyzed thematically following the PDCA stages. The findings show that supervision planning was carried out systematically in Ruang GTK, including digital scheduling and use of standardized instruments; implementation combined face-to-face classroom observation with digital feedback, although several teachers still faced technical and digital-literacy constraints; the evaluation stage emphasized teacher reflection and strengthened transparency, but participation levels varied; and the follow-up stage took the form of targeted training, coaching, and monitoring, ensuring continuity of the PDCA cycle. The study concludes that integrating Ruang GTK with PDCA not only reinforces accountability in supervision but also supports teachers’ continuous professional development. Practically, the study encourages school leaders, teachers, and policymakers to optimize digital supervision as an instrument for improving teacher competence and educational quality.

Abstract

Songs serve not only as entertainment but also as a medium of communication that represents human emotional and social experiences. One song that reflects these dynamics is Taylor Swift's "Exile" featuring Bon Iver, which depicts emotional conflict and communication failure in romantic relationships. This study aims to analyze the construction of meaning in the lyrics of the song "Exile" using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. The research method used is qualitative with text analysis techniques of observation, documentation, and interviews with song listeners. The main data in the form of song lyrics are analyzed through three layers of meaning: denotative, connotative, and myth. The results show that the lyrics of "Exile" construct the meaning of emotional alienation through signs, dialogue between characters, and the use of symbolic metaphors. At the denotative level, the lyrics depict separation and conflict between two individuals. At the connotative level, these lyrics represent emotional exhaustion, inner distance, and failure of interpersonal communication. Meanwhile, at the myth level, this song reflects the cultural view of romantic relationships trapped in a cycle of conflict due to a lack of empathy and emotional communication. This study concludes that Roland Barthes' semiotics is relevant for understanding song lyrics as cultural texts that represent the emotional reality of modern society.
