Abstract

Penelitian ini menyelidiki peran kepemimpinan berbasis riset terhadap pengambilan keputusan strategis dan pengembangan kebijakan di Sekolah dan Perguruan Tinggi. Dalam lingkungan akademik kontemporer yang ditandai dengan perubahan teknologi yang cepat, tuntutan akuntabilitas, dan persaingan global, para pemimpin semakin dituntut untuk membuat keputusan yang berbasis bukti. Berlandaskan teori kepemimpinan berbasis bukti serta perspektif kepemimpinan, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana para pemimpin institusi mengintegrasikan temuan riset, data institusional, dan bukti ilmiah ke dalam perencanaan strategis dan perumusan kebijakan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus yang melibatkan empat pemimpin pendidikan dari sekolah dan perguruan tinggi. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dan analisis dokumen institusional. Data dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis tematik berdasarkan model analisis interaktif yang dikemukakan oleh Miles dan Huberman yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan kesimpulan. Temuan menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif yang signifikan antara perilaku kepemimpinan yang berorientasi pada riset dan kualitas keputusan strategis serta kebijakan. Pemimpin yang secara sistematis memanfaatkan bukti empiris menunjukkan transparansi, inovasi, dan keselarasan institusional yang lebih tinggi. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada kajian kepemimpinan dengan mengusulkan kerangka praktis untuk memperkuat budaya riset dalam tata kelola pendidikan tinggi. Implikasi bagi pengembangan kepemimpinan akademik dan reformasi kebijakan institusional turut dibahas.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze student management in overcoming fluctuations in the number of students at SD Negeri Lawu 02 Nguter Sukoharjo. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study method. Data was obtained through documentation of the number of new students over the past five years, then analyzed descriptively to identify fluctuation patterns and factors that affect them. The results of the study show that the number of students in the school has fluctuated from year to year. This condition is influenced by internal factors in the form of lack of innovation in learning programs and strategies, external factors in the form of competition between schools, and public trust factors related to the image and quality of educational services. These fluctuations not only reflect quantitative changes, but also show problems in the management of student management and the attractiveness of schools in the eyes of the public. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to implement integrated education management functions which include planning, organizing, implementing, supervising, and evaluating. The proposed strategies include strengthening digital-based school branding, implementing trial class programs, developing superior programs, strengthening partnerships with PAUD/TK, and data-based decision-making. Thus, the implementation of innovative and adaptive student management is expected to increase the number of students and strengthen public trust in schools in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

This study investigates teachers’ and students’ perspectives on the use of word puzzle games in teaching English vocabulary at SMP Swasta Methodist 9 Medan. The research aims to explore how these games are implemented and how they influence students’ vocabulary learning. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving one English teacher and 23 eighth-grade students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. The data analysis process included data preparation, reading and reflection, coding and categorization, and theme development. The findings reveal that word puzzle games were effectively implemented as a student-centered learning activity that enhanced classroom engagement and reduced monotony in vocabulary instruction. Both the teacher and students expressed positive perceptions toward the use of these games. Students reported increased motivation, improved vocabulary understanding, better collaboration, and greater confidence in learning. Meanwhile, the teacher perceived word puzzle games as a valuable tool to support vocabulary mastery, stimulate critical thinking, and foster a positive and interactive classroom environment. However, several challenges were identified, including variations in students’ proficiency levels, time management constraints, classroom noise, and the need for thorough preparation. Despite these challenges, the study concludes that word puzzle games serve as an effective gamification strategy in teaching vocabulary when supported by proper planning and effective classroom management.
