Abstract

School supervisors play a crucial role in maintaining the quality of education, particularly in enhancing the managerial competencies of principals and teachers. Through supervision and oversight, supervisors ensure that the teaching and school management processes comply with established standards. This study aims to analyze the role of supervisors in improving the managerial competencies of principals and teachers in Aceh Besar Regency. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The research subjects consist of 18 individuals, including 3 school supervisors, 3 principals, and 12 teachers from three elementary schools: SDN Lambada Klieng, SDN Labuy, and SDN Ruyung. The subject selection was conducted using purposive sampling, aimed at gaining in-depth insights into the role of supervisors in enhancing the quality of education. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques, which include data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research findings indicate that supervisors play an important role in providing support to principals and teachers through training, supervision, and effective monitoring. The supervision carried out by school supervisors has proven to improve the managerial competencies of principals, as well as enhance the professionalism and quality of teaching among teachers. This study suggests the importance of the active role of supervisors in capacity-building programs for teachers and principals to achieve better education quality in Aceh Besar.

Abstract

Teacher performance plays a crucial role in determining the quality of education, particularly in geographically challenging areas such as Ambon City and the Lease Islands. This study aims to examine the influence of principal leadership, school climate, work discipline, and work motivation on teacher performance in public elementary schools within this region. A quantitative approach with a correlational research design was employed, using cross-sectional data collected through structured questionnaires. The study involved 210 teachers selected through a saturated sampling technique. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with the Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. The results show that principal leadership, school climate, work discipline, and work motivation each have a positive and significant effect on teacher performance. Additionally, principal leadership significantly influences school climate, work discipline, and motivation, while school climate also enhances teacher discipline and motivation. Work discipline further contributes positively to teacher motivation. These findings highlight the central role of leadership and organizational conditions in shaping teacher behavior. The study implies the need for continuous leadership development, strengthened school culture, and systematic motivation strategies to improve teacher performance. Future research should expand the study area and include additional variables such as job satisfaction, workload, and teacher well-being to deepen the understanding of factors affecting teacher performance.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the practice of Islamic education management at the Dar Al-Ma’arif Islamic Boarding School from an epistemological perspective, with a focus on integrating Islamic values with modern management theory. The main problem studied is how management in Islamic Boarding Schools functions not only as an administrative instrument but also as a manifestation of the Islamic scientific paradigm based on monotheism. The research method uses a phenomenological qualitative approach, drawing on document studies, observations, and in-depth interviews with Islamic Boarding School managers. The results of the study show that the management practice at the Dar Al-Ma’arif Islamic Boarding School is grounded in Islamic epistemology, which emphasizes the balance between rational and spiritual aspects. The contribution of this research lies in strengthening the epistemological framework for the study of Islamic education management and in offering relevant management models for the development of Islamic education in Indonesia. Islamic boarding schools have the potential to develop a management system that balances worldly and ukhrawi goals, as well as to serve as centers for moral and spiritual strengthening.

Abstract

The decline in national literacy and the demands of the 21st century call for innovation in education, particularly in developing critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. This study aims to analyse the implementation of the School Literacy Movement (GLS) within the Jurnalis SASTRA extracurricular program at SMA Negeri 4 Pontianak as a strategy for fostering 21st-century skills. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving students, a supervising teacher, and the school principal. The findings reveal that integrating GLS into journalistic activities enhances basic literacy (Reading and writing), digital literacy, and cultural literacy. Activities such as news and opinion writing, short film production, poetry, and digital broadcasting develop students’ critical thinking, creativity, and effective communication. Furthermore, teamwork in journalistic production cultivates responsibility, discipline, solidarity, and adaptive collaboration skills. The study also demonstrates that journalistic practice serves as a platform for character education, instilling journalistic ethics and social empathy. Thus, Jurnalis SASTRA is not only a medium for developing 21st-century competencies but also a character education laboratory grounded in literacy. This study recommends strengthening GLS through journalistic approaches as an innovative and practical learning strategy to support curriculum development that is responsive to digital transformation and global challenges.

Abstract

This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the integration of religious moderation values within the Islamic boarding school (pesantren) education system and its impact on the development of tolerant, inclusive, and peace-oriented student character. The research stems from growing concerns over social polarization and the rise of religious extremism, underscoring the urgent need to reinforce the values of Islam as a religion of compassion (rahmatan lil ‘alamin). A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis as the primary methods of data collection. The findings reveal that core values of moderation such as tolerance, non-violence, national commitment, and respect for diversity are holistically embedded within pesantren life through curriculum design, daily religious practices, and exemplary leadership by kyai and teachers. Integration strategies include strengthening lessons in aqidah, fiqh, and ethics, promoting interfaith dialogue, and cultivating an inclusive pesantren culture. The study highlights that pesantren hold strategic potential in shaping a generation of Muslims capable of peaceful coexistence in multicultural societies. However, challenges remain, particularly the influence of transnational ideological currents contrary to the spirit of moderation and the limited capacity of educators to contextualize these values effectively. Therefore, adaptive and collaborative Islamic education policies involving the government, pesantren institutions, and civil society are crucial to reinforce the role of pesantren as the foundation of religious moderation in Indonesia.
