Abstract

Objective: The Tangerang Regency Mangrove Park is a tourist attraction that offers numerous educational benefits to the community; however, the community has not been able to fully capitalize on these educational opportunities because visitors primarily engage in activities such as taking photos. Method: This study uses a quantitative approach, analyzing data using percentages, a Likert scale, and the 4A tourism object criteria (attractions, accessibility, facilities, and additional services). The data analysis techniques used were simple linear regression and a coefficient of determination summary model. Results: The results of the simple linear regression test indicate that the attractiveness of the mangrove park as a learning source (X) has a positive effect on tourist satisfaction (Y). The regression equation Y = 61.78 + 0.213X shows that when the attractiveness of the mangrove park as a learning resource increases by one unit, tourist satisfaction increases by 0.213 units, assuming all other variables remain constant. The coefficient of determination of 0.927 or 92.7% indicates that the variation in tourist satisfaction can be explained by the attractiveness of the mangrove park as a learning resource. Novelty: This research fills a crucial gap in mangrove ecotourism-based geography pedagogy, where existing studies have not integrated the 4A framework (attractions, accessibility, facilities, amenities) equivalent to the learning resource optimization model of messages, people, media, tools, techniques, and settings, through place-based education design in Tangerang Mangrove Park especially iconic landmarks such as I Love Mangrove, the circular bridge, and the bird's nest through a cycle of experience: observation, reflection, conceptualization, and application. This approach has not been explored.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of differentiated learning on the learning engagement and self-confidence of students enrolled in the Elementary Teacher Education Program (PGSD). Specifically, the study focuses on how differentiated instruction facilitates active participation, supports the development of interpersonal skills, and enhances the professional competencies of pre-service teachers. Research Method: This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a Pretest–Posttest Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 60 PGSD students, who were divided into an experimental group receiving differentiated learning instruction and a control group receiving conventional instruction. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring learning engagement and self-confidence. The data were analyzed using independent samples t-tests and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to determine the effect of the instructional treatment on both dependent variables. Research Findings: The results indicate that the experimental group demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in both learning engagement and self-confidence compared to the control group. Learning engagement showed a substantial increase from pretest to posttest scores, as did self-confidence. These findings confirm the effectiveness of differentiated learning strategies in fostering student involvement, active participation, and confidence within the learning process. Novelty: This study highlights that differentiated learning is effective in higher education, particularly in Elementary Teacher Education programs. The findings show that differentiated instruction enhances social analysis skills, including identifying classroom diversity, analyzing student interactions, and proposing pedagogical solutions, while also fostering creativity and critical thinking to support the professional competence of pre-service teachers.

Abstract

Objective: Teacher turnover intention remains a critical challenge in vocational education, particularly in emerging economies where teacher retention is essential for maintaining instructional quality and sustainable school development. This study examines the effect of distributed leadership on teacher turnoverintention, mediated by teacher efficacy and work engagement and moderated by interpersonaltrust. Method: This study utilized a quantitative explanatory survey design. Data were obtained from 250 teachers in private vocational high schools in Surakarta, Indonesia, using cluster sampling. The proposed mediated–moderated model was assessed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) which draws on Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory. Results: The findings demonstrate that distributed leadership has a significant positive effect on teacher efficacy and work engagement. Both variables significantly reduce teacher turnover intention, with work engagement emerging as the strongest predictor. Teacher efficacy also significantly mediates the relationship between distributed leadership and work engagement. Furthermore, interpersonal trust negatively moderates the relationship between distributed leadership and teacher efficacy, indicating a resource saturation effect in high-trust environments. Novelty: Based on Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory, this study offers new theoretical insight by demonstrating that leadership resources do not operate linearly. Using a moderated-mediation model, the findings reveal a resource saturation effect in which high interpersonal trust weakens the marginal impact of distributed leadership on teacher efficacy. This extends leadership research by empirically identifying the boundary conditions of distributed leadership and refining COR Theory within vocational education settings.

Abstract

Objective: This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Professional Hajj and Umrah Guide Certification Education and Training Program as a quality assurance mechanism for manasik guidance in Indonesia. The research responds to the critical need to ensure that guides possess not only administrative qualifications but also professional, pedagogical, and spiritual competencies amid the increasing complexity of Hajj management. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected from 374 program alumni through questionnaires, interviews, document analysis, and pre- and post-tests. The study applies a comprehensive evaluation framework integrating the CIPPO (Context, Input, Process, Product, Outcome) model with Kirkpatrick’s four-level evaluation (Reaction, Learning, Behavior, Result). Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests, and qualitative triangulation. Results indicate high relevance and effectiveness across all evaluation aspects. A significant improvement in participants’ competencies was confirmed by the paired sample t-test ($t = -16.853$; $p < 0.05$), despite a modest score increase due to rigorous assessment standards. Overall, the program effectively enhances the scientific, spiritual, and professional competence of certified guides and strengthens national quality assurance for Hajj and Umrah guidance services. Novelty: This study establishes a novel approach to Islamic education evaluation by successfully integrating the macro-level CIPPO framework with the micro-level Kirkpatrick model to assess professional da‘wah training. Unlike previous studies that focus purely on the administrative or theological aspects of Hajj, this research offers a new, standardized quality assurance paradigm that redefines Hajj and Umrah certification as a structured, measurable model of professional da‘wah education.

Abstract

Objective: Incidental, outcome-oriented coaching practices have often shaped the development of high-achieving students without fully supporting sustainable academic talent management. This study aims to analyze academic talent management in nonformal education by integrating educational competitions, higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), and deep learning. Method: This research employed a qualitative case study design conducted at Olimnus, a provider of competition-based nonformal education. Data collection involved document analysis, observations, and in-depth interviews with administrators and high-achieving students. They were systematically analyzed using a thematic analysis approach to identify key patterns and themes. Result: The findings indicate that educational competitions at Olimnus serve not as event-based activities, but as management tools for academic talent development, including planning, identification, development, evaluation, and sustainability. The integration of HOTS in assessment design and academic coaching serves as a core mechanism for developing students’ analytical, evaluative, and reflective thinking skills. Well-planned, HOTS-based talent management practices foster deep learning, as reflected in shifts in students’ learning orientations toward conceptual understanding, critical reflection, and independent learning. Novelty: This study offers a novel contribution by proposing an integrative model of academic talent management in nonformal education that connects educational competitions, HOTS, and deep learning within a sustainable managerial cycle. This contribution extends the understanding of academic talent management beyond formal education settings and offers practical implications for designing systematic, sustainable, competition-based talent development strategies.

Abstract

Administrative management in primary schools is often viewed as a technical support system; however, its effectiveness plays a crucial indirect role in shaping learning conditions. This study aims to reconceptualize administrative management effectiveness by examining the processes through which administrative practices support the learning process in primary schools. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this research was conducted in three public primary schools in South Tapanuli, North Sumatra. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic and process-oriented analysis. The findings reveal that administrative effectiveness is not determined solely by formal structures or digital adoption, but emerges through interconnected processes, including the redistribution of teachers’ administrative workload, coordination efficiency, and information accuracy. Principal leadership functions as a mediating mechanism that shapes administrative coordination and work culture, while digitalization operates as a conditional accelerator whose impact depends on human resource readiness. Based on these findings, this study proposes a process-based conceptual model explaining how administrative management indirectly supports classroom learning. This research contributes to the literature by shifting the discussion of school administrative effectiveness from outcome-based evaluation to a process-oriented perspective and offers empirical insights for strengthening administrative governance in primary education.
