Abstract

The strategic management of competitive advantage in private schools is the main focus of this study to address the dynamics of competition in educational institutions in Southeast Maluku Regency. The main objective of the study is to formulate an adaptive school management model under the auspices of Kolose Johanis Ars to address fluctuating student numbers and limited resources in the archipelago. A descriptive qualitative approach was used as a method to explore the management phenomenon in depth through interviews, observations, and documentation studies at the research site in the Kei Kecil region. The research subjects included the principal, teachers, and relevant stakeholders directly involved in the strategic decision-making process. The research findings indicate that a differentiation strategy based on spiritual values ​​and social capital is a significant internal strength for the school, but there are still weaknesses in aspects of technological innovation and digitalization of learning. The analysis results identified a gap in contextual curriculum adaptation where the local maritime potential of the Kei region has not been optimally integrated into the school curriculum. The research conclusions emphasize the need for dynamic capability reconfiguration through strengthening the management information system and synchronizing the college's long-term vision with operational plans at the school unit level. The proposed management model integrates resource-based theory with spiritual leadership to ensure the sustainability of educational institutions in the outermost regions. Implementing a systematic marketing strategy and improving the digital literacy of educators are practical recommendations for strengthening schools' bargaining power in the eyes of the public. Synergy between foundations, local governments, and local communities is essential for sustainably improving the quality standards of educational services.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of junior high schools (SMP) in Minahasa Regency and to examine the influence of teacher competence, learning resource management, instructional media, principal leadership, classroom management, and school academic culture on school effectiveness. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The study was conducted in 103 public and private junior high schools in Minahasa Regency. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and documentation, involving teachers and principals as respondents. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression, preceded by classical assumption tests including normality, linearity, and multicollinearity tests, with a significance level of α=0.05. The results show that, partially, teacher competence, learning resource management, instructional media, principal leadership, classroom management, and school academic culture have a positive and significant effect on junior high school effectiveness in Minahasa Regency, with significance values of p < 0.05 for each variable. Simultaneously, the results of the F-test indicate that the six independent variables jointly have a significant effect on school effectiveness (Sig. < 0.05). Furthermore, the coefficient of determination indicates that school effectiveness is substantially influenced by the combined contribution of these variables, while the remaining variance is explained by other factors outside the research model. The study concludes that the effectiveness of junior high schools in Minahasa Regency is significantly influenced by teacher competence, learning resource management, instructional media, principal leadership, classroom management, and school academic culture, both partially and simultaneously. Therefore, improving school effectiveness requires an integrated and sustainable strengthening of these factors to enhance educational quality and achieve optimal educational outcomes at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of implementing the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model using the Kodular application on the creativity and learning outcomes of 11th-grade DKV 1 students in the Fundamentals of Visual Communication Design subject at SMKN 1 Kotamobagu. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: a control class and an experimental class, each with 20 students (a total of 40 students). The research instrument was tested for validity and reliability, with all items declared valid (r count 0.338–0.794 > 0.312) and reliable (Cronbach's Alpha 0.917). The descriptive analysis results showed an increase in the average pretest and posttest scores in the experimental class from 42.5 to 83.5, while in the control class, the score increased from 41 to 80.5. The normality test showed that the data were normally distributed (Sig. 0.227 and 0.731), while the homogeneity test showed that both groups had homogeneous variances (Sig. 0.214 and 0.331). The t-test indicated a significant effect of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model on learning outcomes, with a sig. 0.000 and a calculated t of 9.811. The F-test yielded an F-value of 96.259 with a significance level of 0.000, indicating that the model simultaneously influenced learning outcomes. The determination test obtained an R-square value of 0.717, indicating that the model explained 71.7% of the variation in learning outcomes. This study concludes that the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) using Kodular effectively improves student creativity, learning motivation, and learning outcomes in the Visual Communication Design subject.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of laboratory head educational background and organizational work culture on laboratory management performance in junior secondary schools. Effective laboratory management plays a critical role in supporting science-based learning; however, many schools face challenges related to inadequate human resource competencies and weak organizational culture. This research employs a quantitative explanatory approach to examine both the individual and simultaneous effects of these variables. The population consisted of laboratory heads from 30 junior secondary schools in East Bolaang Mongondow Regency, Indonesia, using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that the educational background of laboratory heads has a significant positive effect on laboratory management performance, particularly in areas of technical competence, planning, and administrative management. Additionally, work culture—characterized by discipline, collaboration, responsibility, and professional commitment—also shows a significant positive influence on management effectiveness. Simultaneously, both variables contribute substantially to improving laboratory performance, indicating that the integration of individual competence and organizational culture is essential for optimal management. The study highlights that schools with well-qualified laboratory heads and strong work culture tend to demonstrate more systematic laboratory administration, better equipment maintenance, and more effective implementation of practical activities. This research contributes to the literature on educational management by providing empirical evidence on the combined effects of human capital and organizational culture in school laboratory settings. The findings offer practical implications for policymakers and school leaders to strengthen professional qualifications and foster a positive work culture to enhance the quality of science education.

Abstract

Teacher work motivation is a critical determinant of instructional quality in elementary schools, yet it remains susceptible to organizational and socioeconomic pressures, particularly in rural educational settings in Indonesia. Preliminary observations in the Belang District revealed persistent motivational challenges, including suboptimal punctuality, limited pedagogical innovation, and teachers’ economic necessity to seek supplementary employment. This study aims to examine the influence of principal managerial competence and teacher welfare, both independently and simultaneously, on teacher work motivation in the elementary schools of Belang District. A quantitative ex-post facto survey design was employed, involving 106 active teachers as the main sample and 27 try-out respondents selected via Proportional Random Sampling from a population of 106 teachers across 12 elementary schools; data were collected using a validated Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through multiple linear regression with classical assumption testing. Principal managerial competence significantly and positively predicted teacher work motivation (t = 4.683; p = 0.000), and teacher welfare likewise demonstrated a significant positive partial effect (t = 3.892; p = 0.001). Simultaneously, both variables jointly explained a substantial proportion of variance in teacher work motivation (F = 33.599; p = 0.000; R2 = 0.985), yielding the regression equation Y = 52.792 + 0.085X1 + 0.025X2. Managerial competence exhibited a relatively stronger predictive coefficient, indicating a dominant role in driving motivational outcomes compared to welfare. These findings confirm that effective principal managerial leadership and adequate teacher welfare are complementary and statistically robust predictors of teacher work motivation in rural Indonesian elementary schools. The practical implication is that district education authorities should prioritize concurrent investment in principals’ managerial capacity development and structural welfare equity for teachers, particularly those with honorary employment status, as integrated policy interventions.

Abstract

Package C equivalency education represents a strategic non-formal education pathway aimed at expanding access to secondary education for individuals who are unable to participate in formal schooling. However, its implementation in Minahasa Regency faces several challenges, including low participation rates, inadequate facilities, limited tutor competence, and suboptimal program management. This study aims to analyze the planning, implementation, and evaluation processes of Package C education, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and develop a contextual management model based on local cultural values, namely the Mapalus Model. This research employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving stakeholders such as education officials, PKBM/SKB managers, tutors, learners, and community leaders. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the management of Package C education has not been systematically implemented across all stages. Planning is not fully needs-based, implementation remains conventional, and evaluation is not optimally utilized. Supporting factors include stakeholder involvement and government support, while inhibiting factors include limited infrastructure, low community awareness, and a lack of tutor training. The study proposes a Mapalus-based management model emphasizing collaboration, participation, and collective responsibility. This model integrates participatory planning, collaborative organization, andragogical learning, continuous evaluation, and stakeholder synergy. The model is expected to improve the quality, relevance, and sustainability of equivalency education.

Abstract

The development of health human resources (HHR) is a critical determinant in improving the quality and effectiveness of primary healthcare services, particularly in community health centers (Puskesmas). In the context of decentralization and regional autonomy, local governments are required to manage health workforce planning strategically to ensure adequate availability, equitable distribution, and appropriate competencies of healthcare personnel. However, many regions in Indonesia continue to face persistent challenges, including workforce shortages, uneven distribution across geographical areas, and limited capacity development programs. This study aims to analyze the strategic planning process for enhancing the capacity of health human resources at community health centers in Minahasa Regency. Specifically, the study examines four key stages of planning: preparation, situational analysis, problem formulation, and the development of activity plans (Rencana Usulan Kegiatan/RUK). A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed to explore the complexity of planning processes within real organizational settings. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving key stakeholders, including health office officials, Puskesmas managers, healthcare workers, and planning personnel. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that although strategic planning processes have been formally implemented in accordance with national guidelines, their execution remains suboptimal. Key issues identified include insufficient availability of health personnel, lack of accurate and updated workforce data, weak integration between planning and budgeting, limited capacity of planning staff, and inconsistencies between Puskesmas-level planning and district-level policies. Furthermore, the study highlights that educational management plays a crucial role in strengthening health workforce planning through continuous professional development, competency-based training, and systematic evaluation. The integration of management functions, planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling (POAC), is essential to ensure sustainable human resource development in primary healthcare settings. This study concludes that strengthening strategic planning for health human resources requires a comprehensive approach that integrates workload-based planning methods, capacity building for planners, improved data systems, and stronger policy support. It recommends the adoption of competency-based planning frameworks, enhanced intersectoral collaboration, and the institutionalization of continuous education programs to improve the quality of health services at Puskesmas.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between classroom management and learning motivation, both partially and simultaneously, on student learning outcomes at SMP Negeri 1 Modoinding, South Minahasa Regency. The research method used is a quantitative correlational approach. The population in this study was all 91 ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Modoinding. Considering the limited population, this study used the Total Sampling technique, where all members of the population were used as research respondents. Data collection instruments were in the form of questionnaires for the variables of Class Management (X1) and Learning Motivation (X2), as well as report card documentation for the Learning Outcome variable (Y). The data were analyzed using correlation and multiple linear regression techniques. The results of the study showed that: (1) there is a positive and significant relationship between Class Management and Learning Outcomes; (1) there is a positive and significant relationship between Learning Motivation and Learning Outcomes; and (3) simultaneously, Class Management and Learning Motivation are significantly related to student Learning Outcomes at SMP Negeri 1 Modoinding. These findings indicate that optimizing student learning outcomes is highly dependent on teachers' ability to create a conducive classroom climate and their ability to spark students' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of developing teacher managerial competencies in rural schools to ensure that the quality of learning outcomes is comparable to those in urban areas.

Abstract

Teacher quality is a cornerstone of educational excellence, and teaching skill, the practical ability to plan, implement, manage, and evaluate learning effectively, remains a critical yet underexplored outcome variable in Indonesian school management research. Empirical evidence consistently highlights that both school leadership and teacher professional competence are key determinants of instructional quality, yet their combined influence on teaching skills has received limited quantitative investigation, particularly in the North Sulawesi regional context. This study aimed to examine the influence of principal leadership style and professional competence, both individually and simultaneously, on teachers' teaching skills in senior high schools in Tomohon City. This research used A quantitative research design, with simple and multiple regression analysis was employed. A proportionate stratified random sample of 106 teachers was drawn from a population of 145 teachers across five senior high schools in Tomohon City. Data were collected using validated Likert-scale questionnaires (Cronbach's α: 0.942, 0.812, and 0.885 for teaching skill, leadership style, and professional competence, respectively) and analyzed using SPSS version 25. The results of this research are that principal leadership style significantly influenced teaching skills (r = 0.597; R² = 0.356; F = 57.458; p < 0.001), explaining 35.6% of the variance. Professional competence demonstrated a stronger individual effect (r = 0.660; R² = 0.435; F = 80.054; p < 0.001), accounting for 43.5% of the variance. When both predictors were included simultaneously in a multiple regression model, they jointly explained 50.8% of the variance in teaching skills (R = 0.713; R² = 0.508; F = 53.211; p < 0.001), with the regression equation Ŷ = 6.468 + 0.293(X₁) + 0.536(X₂). This study concluded that both principal leadership style and teacher professional competence are significant and positive predictors of teaching skills, with the combined model providing the strongest explanatory power. This study implies that school policymakers and principals should adopt a synergistic approach that simultaneously strengthens adaptive leadership practices and invests in continuous professional competence development programs to optimally enhance classroom teaching quality.

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation, teacher professionalism has become a critical determinant of educational quality, yet its relationship with self-regulatory capacity and digital preparedness remains underexplored in developing-country contexts. Empirical evidence from Indonesian schools indicates that teachers' levels of self-management and digital readiness remain varied and suboptimal, potentially undermining effective teaching performance in technology-integrated learning environments. This study aimed to examine the partial and simultaneous effects of self-management and digital readiness on teacher professionalism among junior high school teachers in Paal Dua District, Manado City, Indonesia. A quantitative explanatory research design was employed. Data were collected via a validated Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 85 respondents, selected using the Slovin formula (e = 0.05) from a population of 108 teachers across eight schools. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics. Self-management had a positive and significant effect on teacher professionalism (β = 0.434, t = 4.911, p < 0.001), while digital readiness also exerted a positive and significant influence (β = 0.413, t = 4.681, p < 0.001). Self-management emerged as the more dominant predictor. Simultaneously, both variables significantly predicted teacher professionalism (F = 23.115, p < 0.001), explaining 36.1% of its variance (R² = 0.361). The integration of self-management capabilities and digital readiness constitutes a key determinant of teacher professionalism in digitally transforming educational settings. These findings provide an empirical basis for school administrators and education policymakers to design targeted teacher professional development programs that simultaneously strengthen self-management competencies and digital readiness.
