Abstract

This study explores the implementation of character education using a positive discipline approach as a strategy to prevent bullying in elementary schools. In response to the national mandate for Character Education Strengthening (PPK), many schools still face challenges in translating policy into practice, particularly in creating safe and respectful learning environments. This research was conducted at SDN 115 Turangga, Bandung, using a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that character education at SDN 115 is managed systematically through collaborative planning, distributed organizational roles, and consistent implementation of positive discipline. Discipline is framed not as punishment, but as a process of value internalization, guided by empathy, reflection, and restorative practices. Supporting factors include strong school leadership, teacher commitment, and parental involvement. The study concludes that positive discipline provides an effective, sustainable model for shaping student behavior and preventing bullying. It recommends wider adoption of this approach through structured teacher training, institutional support, and alignment with character education policy.

Abstract

This research is based on the high Open Unemployment Rate (TPT) of Vocational High School (SMK) graduates in Indonesia, which reached 8.00% in February 2025, although there has been a decline from the previous year. This phenomenon shows the misalignment between the competencies of vocational school graduates and the needs of the industry. Vocational schools as vocational education institutions are expected to produce graduates who are ready to work, both in terms of hard skills and soft skills, but in reality there are still many graduates who have not met industry standards. Therefore, an effective management approach is needed to improve the relevance and quality of graduates. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the management of Teaching Factory (TEFA) in improving the quality of graduates in accordance with the needs of the industry at SMK BPI Bandung. This research uses management theory from G.R. Terry which includes four management functions: planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating. The research method used is a single case study to explore in depth the application of TEFA at SMK BPI Bandung. The results of the study show that the implementation of the four management functions of Terry in a holistic and synergistic manner has proven to be effective in improving the competence of graduates. Planning based on industry needs, collaborative organization, implementation through real job orders, and continuous evaluation have succeeded in creating graduates who are relevant to the demands of the world of work. The obstacles that arise are overcome through the addition of facilities, the improvement of teacher competence, and the strengthening of industry partnerships. The conclusion of this study is that the management of the Teaching Factory at SMK BPI Bandung has been effective and has succeeded in improving the quality of graduates. Strategic synergy with industry is the key to success, and emphasizes that a systematic and adaptive management approach is a fundamental prerequisite for the success of the TEFA program in the vocational education system

Abstract

The low level of numeracy competence among primary school students, particularly in understanding and applying mathematical concepts in everyday life, poses a challenge to improving the quality of basic education. Conventional and abstract learning methods make it difficult for students to relate mathematical concepts to real-life contexts, resulting in low motivation and poor learning outcomes. This study aims to formulate and analyse effective mathematics learning strategies to improve the numeracy skills of students at Budibakti State Elementary School in Cianjur Regency. The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analysed using triangulation and content analysis. The results show that the application of innovative and contextual learning strategies such as problem-based learning, differentiated learning, the use of interactive media, and integrated formative assessment of numeracy can increase students' activity, motivation, and ability to connect mathematical concepts with real-life situations. The conclusion of the study confirms that innovative, interactive, and applicable mathematics learning strategies have a positive effect on improving students' numeracy competencies and support the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar (Freedom of Learning) policy and Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM).

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.
