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.
