Abstract

​ ​Objective: This study aimed to analyze how school principals apply adaptive leadership to improve teacher performance in archipelagic areas with limited educational resources. This study aimed to identify adaptive leadership patterns that emerge in various geographical contexts and examine their influence on teacher motivation, professionalism, and work culture in junior high schools in Simeulue Regency, Aceh Province, Indonesia. Methods: This study used a descriptive qualitative approach involving three state junior high schools: SMPN 1 Simeulue Tengah, SMPN 1 Simeulue Timur, and SMPN 2 Teupah Barat. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies of nine informants, comprising three principals and six teachers. Data analysis was carried out with an interactive model that included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, and was validated through triangulation of sources and methods to ensure the validity of the findings. Results: The results of the study show that the adaptive leadership of school principals is manifested in four main contextual styles: transformational, democratic, participatory, and spiritual. Transformational leadership dominates the central region, democratic leadership the coastal region, and participatory-spiritual leadership the outer island region. Adaptive leadership has been proven to increase motivation, professionalism, and cohesion of teachers' work culture through innovation, collaboration, and moral commitment, even in the midst of limited facilities and administrative burden. Novelty: This study integrates spiritual and socio-cultural values within the framework of adaptive leadership, resulting in a contextual adaptive leadership model relevant to schools in the archipelago. These findings expand adaptive leadership theory by emphasizing humanistic and value-based dimensions in the context of Indonesian education.​

Abstract

Objective: : Quality education is a fundamental right of every child, however many students, particularly those in resource-limited areas, face challenges in accessing education. This study aimed to explore the impact of a free nutritious meal program on student attendance and motivation in three sub-districts. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected through surveys involving 52 students and 34 teachers, while qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews. The results showed that average student attendance increased from 80% to 95% after program implementation, which aligns with teachers' reports of increased student enthusiasm for learning. These findings indicate that adequate nutrition contributes to increased student motivation and engagement. While this study provides valuable insights into the program's effectiveness, its focus on three sub-districts limits the generalizability of the results. Therefore, future research is recommended to involve a wider area and employ a longitudinal approach to assess the program's long-term effects. These findings have important implications for education policy, highlighting the need for continued support for the nutritious meal program to improve access to and quality of education.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence of training, teaching experience, and work motivation on the performance of State Vocational High School teachers in Jeneponto Regency, both partially and simultaneously. Method: The study used Explanatory Research with a quantitative approach through a cross-sectional survey design. The study population came from three State Vocational High Schools in Jeneponto Regency totaling 134 teachers, with a sample of 100 teachers obtained using the Proportionate Random Sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression. Results: The results showed that training, teaching experience, and work motivation had a positive and significant effect on teacher performance (Sig. <0.05). Simultaneously, the three variables explained 67.4% of the variation in teacher performance (R² = 0.674), while 32.6% was influenced by other factors outside the model. Novelty: This study emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach in improving the performance of vocational teachers by integrating aspects of competence, professional experience, and work motivation in the context of regional Vocational High Schools. These findings provide an empirical basis for formulating more contextual and sustainable vocational school teacher development policies at the local level.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the influence of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) on Generation Z university students' Netflix subscription intention. The research is motivated by the increasing reliance of students on streaming platforms for entertainment, cultural exposure, and informal learning, alongside heightened psychological pressures associated with digital connectivity. Method: A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using online questionnaires distributed to 385 university students aged 18–24 who actively use Netflix. Out of 400 questionnaires distributed, 385 were returned and deemed valid (response rate: 96.25%). Non-probability purposive sampling was applied. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, reliability and validity testing (HTMT criterion for discriminant validity), and hypothesis testing using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with bootstrapping. Results: Students exhibited moderate-to-high FOMO levels (M = 3.87, SD = 0.92) and predominantly high subscription intentions (M = 4.12, SD = 0.78) on a 5-point Likert scale. FOMO had a significant positive effect on subscription intention (β = 0.432, p < 0.001), explaining 43.2% of the variance. Perceived usefulness, social influence, and digital literacy were measured as contextual variables but not incorporated into the structural model. The remaining 56.8% of unexplained variance indicates that other psychological, social, and technological factors warrant future investigation. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence that FOMO is a significant predictor of streaming platform adoption among Generation Z. The findings offer practical implications for platform providers and educational institutions to develop targeted interventions addressing psychological drivers and digital literacy competencies relevant to subscription behavior in higher education contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Contextual–Projective Learning Model (KP) in elementary school science and its impact on student engagement and conceptual understanding, aiming to explore how contextual and project-based learning can foster meaningful learning experiences. The research was conducted at SD Aisyiyah Kalianda, focusing on the water cycle topic. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, combining classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of learning documentation. Data were analyzed thematically using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s interactive model to identify patterns in the learning process and student engagement. Findings indicate that KP effectively transforms the learning environment from teacher-centered to student-centered, positioning students as active knowledge constructors. Students engaged in discussions, collaboratively planned and executed mini-projects, and presented outcomes, enhancing cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral engagement. Conceptual understanding improved as students connected theoretical knowledge with practical observation. The approach also fostered 21st-century skills, including critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication (4C skills). Challenges such as limited instructional time, varying student abilities, and constrained resources were mitigated through structured project planning, differentiated guidance, peer teaching, and creative use of simple, local materials. This study highlights the integration of contextual learning with project-based activities in elementary science, emphasizing simultaneous development of conceptual understanding and 21st-century skills, with the teacher acting as an active facilitator. The findings provide both theoretical insights into constructivist, student-centered learning and practical guidance for implementing effective, meaningful science education at the elementary level.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the elements affecting the compliance of individual taxpayers in Indonesia. This study will focus on the role of taxpayer awareness and tax center activities in affecting compliance. Method: In this research, the author intends to examine the variables in question, in which a quantitative approach will be used. In this case, the author used a structured questionnaire to collect the primary data, which was distributed to 285 respondents who were selected using the purposive sampling method. This research is based on a taxonomy of three exogenous variables: tax knowledge, ease of administration, and law enforcement, which is in turn is impacted by a mediating variable, taxpayer awareness, a moderating variable of tax center activity, and an endogenous variable of taxpayer compliance. The data collected will be processed using descriptive statistics and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS). Results: Law enforcement, tax knowledge, and ease of administration increases taxpayer awareness and compliance. It has been shown that taxpayer awareness mediates the relationship between these three variables and compliance. Tax center activities moderate the relationship between tax knowledge and awareness, but do not moderate the relationship of ease of administration and law enforcement on tax awareness. Novelty: This research is innovative because it incorporates tax center activity both as a moderating variable and taxpayer awareness as a mediating variable within a single structural model. More specifically, this study aids in the empirical understanding of the tax center’s limitations, which seem to be more effective in reinforcing the educative (knowledge) dimension rather than the administrative/law enforcement dimension.
