Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of Minimum Service Standards (SPM) in Education at SMP Negeri 4 Trumon Timur, South Aceh Regency, to evaluate its effectiveness in improving learning quality at the junior high school level. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and documentation studies, the research analyzes learning planning, implementation processes, and infrastructure support using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results show that learning plans align with curriculum standards and basic competencies, teaching practices meet media and competency requirements, and infrastructure, such as laboratories, libraries, and technology facilities, adequately support learning activities. The implementation of SPM effectively enhances educational quality and supports the national goal of creating intelligent, character-driven learners. The findings provide valuable guidance for local governments and education authorities in formulating equitable and sustainable education policies to strengthen the realization of minimum service standards across regions.

Abstract

Teacher motivation is a crucial determinant of learning quality; therefore, the principal's role as an educational manager is highly significant. This study provides new insight into how principals integrate democratic and transformational leadership practices to sustain teacher motivation in regional schools. Specifically, it examines the principals' efforts to optimize school management to enhance teacher motivation at Junior High Schools (SMPs) in Tapaktuan District, South Aceh Regency. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with principals, vice principals, and teachers, complemented by observation and document analysis. The data were analyzed using an interactive analysis model, with source triangulation ensuring validity. Findings reveal that the optimization of principal management is achieved through three key dimensions: (1) the implementation of democratic and transformational leadership styles, (2) the development of teacher professionalism through training, mentoring, and collaborative reflection, and (3) the creation of a positive, collegial, and motivating school culture. The study's novelty lies in demonstrating how participatory, innovative, and human-centered management approaches can effectively enhance teacher motivation in regional schools, where challenges often differ from those in urban settings. These findings enrich the educational management literature and offer practical recommendations for school leaders and policymakers on designing sustainable management strategies to strengthen teacher motivation and promote continuous improvement in educational quality.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of teacher social support on students’ academic hardiness at SMPN 2 Sindue Tobata. The research employed a descriptive, quantitative approach with saturated sampling, involving all 108 students enrolled in the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected using validated Likert-scale questionnaires on teacher social support and academic hardiness, both of which demonstrated good reliability (α = 0.944 and α = 0.780). Data analysis employed descriptive statistics and simple linear regression using SPSS version 27. The findings revealed that 95.4% of students perceived high levels of teacher social support, and 71.3% exhibited very high academic hardiness. Regression results indicated a positive and significant influence of teacher social support on academic hardiness (t = 3.885, p < 0.05), with a regression coefficient of 0.460. These results suggest that increased social support from teachers enhances students’ ability to manage academic stress, remain committed, and view learning challenges as opportunities for growth. The study underscores the importance of strengthening teacher–student relationships to foster resilience and motivation in learning environments.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the levels of fear of failure and quarter-life crisis and to determine whether there is a relationship between fear of failure and quarter-life crisis among final-year students majoring in Education at Tadulako University. The population in this study consisted of 774 final-year students majoring in Education at Tadulako University in the 2022 cohort, and the research sample comprised 89 students, as determined by the Slovin formula. Simple random sampling was used to collect the sample. Pearson’s product-moment correlation was used to analyse the data in this study. The results of the analysis indicate that the fear of failure falls into the low category, with 36% (32 students), while the quarter-life crisis is categorized as high, with 38% (34 students). The correlation coefficient reveals a significant positive relationship between the fear of failure behaviour and the quarter-life crisis (r = 0.766, p < 0.05), indicating that as the fear of failure behaviour increases, the quarter-life crisis also increases, and vice versa.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of group counseling using finger painting games to improve the social interaction of children with special needs (ABK) in inclusive secondary schools. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative analysis (Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test) and qualitative analysis (observations and interviews). The participants were seven students categorized as borderline. Quantitative results demonstrated a significant increase in social interaction scores (p < 0.05), which was supported by qualitative observations of increased cooperation, communication, and participation. The findings suggest that incorporating finger painting activities into group counseling offers a fun, creative, and effective approach to enhancing social interaction among children with special needs in inclusive settings.

Abstract

Currently, digital games dominate 21st-century classrooms; however, non-digital games remain valuable for promoting language learning, especially in areas with limited internet access. This study aimed to determine whether the Word Connection Game can enhance students’ vocabulary mastery. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two randomly selected classes: X M4 as the experimental group (28 students) and X M1 as the control group (28 students). Both groups were administered pre-tests and post-tests to collect data. The findings showed that the experimental group achieved a higher average post-test score (87.61) compared to the control group (60.68). The Mann–Whitney U test indicated a statistically significant difference between the groups (Asymp. Sig. 2-tailed = 0.000 < 0.05), supporting the alternative hypothesis. These results demonstrate that the Word Connection Game is an effective and engaging non-digital approach for enhancing students’ vocabulary skills. The study highlights that traditional game-based strategies remain valuable for fostering active learning and vocabulary retention, even in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze students’ answers in solving number pattern problems in terms of analogical reasoning ability. Six seventh-grade students with varying academic levels participated in the study. Data were collected through written tests and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using the analogical reasoning framework, which includes four indicators: encoding, inferring, mapping, and applying. The results showed that the total scores of the six participants ranged from 18 to 30. Student 1 obtained the lowest score (18), indicating weaknesses particularly in applying pattern rules to determine the required terms correctly. In contrast, Students 3, 4, and 5 achieved the maximum score of 30, demonstrating consistency in recognizing pattern rules, mapping structural similarities, and applying their reasoning accurately across tasks. The average total score was 27.5, suggesting that most students demonstrated relatively strong analogical reasoning skills, although some individuals still experienced difficulty in the applying stage, which demands higher precision and conceptual understanding. The study contributes to understanding how analogical reasoning influences students’ mathematical problem-solving and offers pedagogical insights for enhancing instruction of non-routine tasks through reasoning-based learning strategies.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of group counseling, utilizing the Acting As If technique, in promoting assertive behavior among ninth-grade students at Syuhada Sukaraja Private Middle School. Persistent issues with low assertiveness—manifested in difficulties expressing opinions, declining inappropriate peer requests, and communicating confidently—highlighted the need for a structured intervention. A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was implemented with eight purposively selected students identified as having low assertiveness. Data were collected using a standardised assertiveness questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, and the N-Gain Score. Findings revealed a substantial improvement in assertiveness, with mean scores rising from 46.50 (pretest) to 77.63 (posttest). The Wilcoxon analysis yielded a Z value of −2.524 with a p-value of 0.012 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant change. The N-Gain score of 0.54 (56.46%) placed the intervention in the “moderate” effectiveness category. These results demonstrate that the Acting As If technique—through structured behavioural rehearsal and supportive group interaction—effectively enhances students’ assertive communication skills. The technique offers a practical and replicable counselling approach for enhancing students’ confidence and promoting healthy interpersonal behaviour in school settings.

Abstract

Schools play a crucial role in shaping students’ psychological well-being, social relationships, and academic performance. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of group guidance services using Nonviolent Communication (NVC) techniques in reducing verbal abuse among eighth-grade students at MTsN 2 Deli Serdang. The research addresses the increasing prevalence of verbal aggression in school settings, which requires systematic intervention through structured counseling strategies. A quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group design was employed, involving 18 students divided equally into an experimental and a control group. Data were collected using a verbal abuse questionnaire and analyzed using paired-sample t-tests and independent-sample t-tests through SPSS. Results revealed a significant decrease in verbal abuse behavior in the experimental group after receiving NVC-based group guidance (p < 0.001), while no significant changes occurred in the control group. The independent t-test further confirmed significant differences in posttest scores between groups (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that NVC-based group guidance is effective in reducing students’ verbal aggression by promoting empathetic and constructive communication. Overall, the study demonstrates that integrating NVC techniques into school counseling programs can serve as a practical approach to fostering positive communication habits and creating a healthier, more harmonious learning environment.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of using folklore in improving the reading comprehension skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 19 Palu. The research employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test – post-test model. A total of 23 students were selected through a cluster random sampling technique. The data were collected through a reading comprehension test, administered before and after the treatment. The treatment involved teaching reading comprehension through selected Indonesian folktales, including "The Legend of Malin Kundang," "Cinderella," and "Tadulako Bulili." The data were analysed statistically using descriptive analysis and a paired-sample t-test with SPSS version 24. The findings showed an increase in the students' mean scores from 61.85 on the pre-test to 68.15 on the post-test. The significance value of 0.032 (< 0.05) indicated a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results. Therefore, it can be concluded that using folklore as a learning medium effectively enhances students' reading comprehension, particularly in understanding narrative texts. Moreover, folklore can serve as an engaging and culturally relevant resource to foster students' motivation and interest in learning the English language.
