Abstract

This study examines the impact of Academic Supervision by School Principals, School Culture, and Teacher Motivation on Learning Quality at elementary schools in Sedan District, Rembang Regency. Using a quantitative approach with multiple regression analysis, this research explores how these variables contribute to enhancing learning outcomes. Data was collected from 132 teachers across 26 elementary schools in the region through structured questionnaires and analyzed using statistical tools. The results indicate that all three independent variables have a significant positive impact on learning quality. Specifically, academic supervision by the school principal was found to have the strongest effect on the improvement of learning quality, followed by school culture and teacher work motivation. The study highlights the importance of effective academic supervision, a supportive school culture, and motivated teachers in achieving optimal educational outcomes. This research suggests that school leaders should focus on enhancing these factors to improve the quality of teaching and learning in schools. The findings contribute to understanding the factors that influence learning quality and provide insights for educational policy and practice in the context of Indonesian elementary schools.

Abstract

Literacy and numeracy are essential foundational competencies, yet many primary schools continue to face challenges in meeting expected mastery levels. SD Sumbermulyo in Sarang District, Rembang Regency implements literacy and numeracy programs aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum; however, educational report data show significant gaps in student achievement. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs by analyzing their planning, implementation, and control, as well as students’ competency outcomes. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews with school stakeholders, classroom observations, and analysis of educational reports. The findings reveal that although the school has organized structured programs supported by teacher involvement and basic learning resources, more than 60% of students especially in lower grades have not met minimum reading and arithmetic standards. The study concludes that improving program effectiveness requires data-based adjustments, enhanced learning materials, improved time allocation for literacy activities, and stronger collaboration among teachers, parents, and the community. Overall, this research highlights the importance of educational report analysis as a practical tool for evaluating and strengthening literacy and numeracy programs in primary schools.

Abstract

This study examines the collaborative role of school principals and teachers in managing educational quality within the Merdeka Belajar era as a strategic effort to achieve the Golden Indonesia 2045 Vision. Using a qualitative literature study approach, the findings reveal that the effective implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum is strongly influenced by the synergy between principals’ collaborative instructional leadership and teachers’ pedagogical autonomy. Principals function as facilitators who promote continuous professional development, encourage reflective instructional practices, and optimize the use of assessment data to enhance learning outcomes, while teachers design differentiated, student-centered learning that strengthens the Pancasila Student Profile. The analysis also highlights that alignment across planning, implementation, and evaluation particularly through the development of a data-driven Education Unit Operational Curriculum (KOSP) serves as a strategic bridge connecting national educational policies to classroom practices, thereby ensuring consistency in quality improvement efforts. Despite these positive developments, the study identifies persistent challenges such as limited resources, uneven digital readiness, and administrative burdens that may hinder optimal collaboration. Overall, the study confirms that sustainable, participatory, and innovation-oriented quality management is essential for developing superior human resources capable of supporting Indonesia’s long-term national aspirations toward 2045.

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize and systematically map the growing body of research on mindfulness leadership in education published between 2019 and 2025, a period marked by increasing scholarly interest in well-being, ethical governance, and transformative practices in schools. Using a PRISMA-guided Systematic Literature Review, this study combines bibliometric mapping and reflexive thematic analysis to identify conceptual linkages, dominant themes, and emerging research directions. A total of 40 peer-reviewed articles across diverse educational settings were analysed. The synthesis reveals four major interconnected themes: contemplative pedagogy, ethical and compassionate leadership, teacher well-being, and organizational transformation through mindfulness. Findings show that mindfulness leadership fosters reflective awareness, relational trust, and emotional regulation among school leaders, which in turn strengthens teacher well-being and supports positive school climate. Evidence also suggests that mindfulness practices bridge personal contemplative development with systemic change, positioning leadership as both an internal capacity and an organizational influence. The review also identifies gaps, including limited empirical work in non-Western contexts and a need for longitudinal and mixed-method designs. The study concludes by proposing a conceptual model framing mindfulness leadership as a holistic and ethically grounded framework for cultivating resilient, emotionally intelligent, and values-driven educational environments.

Abstract

Education for Indigenous communities in Indonesia holds profound significance, serving not only as a means of knowledge transfer but also as a medium for cultural identity preservation and social empowerment. This study synthesizes research on the educational aspirations of Indigenous peoples in Indonesia during 2020–2025 by examining trends, patterns, and scholarly contributions. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA 2020 protocol, 35 articles from Scopus and Google Scholar were analyzed through thematic coding and bibliometric mapping with VOSviewer. Results show a significant increase in publications after 2020, focusing on two domains: education and policy. In education, findings reveal a shift from access-focused issues to socio-cultural dimensions of learning, highlighting the influence of social, cultural, and spiritual factors and the rise of community-based approaches integrating Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) with modern pedagogy under an eco-cultural framework. In policy, challenges include weak regulation, limited funding, and insufficient integration of local knowledge and mother tongues into the national curriculum. Addressing these issues requires culturally equitable policies through recognition of Indigenous knowledge, multilingual education, and active community participation. This synthesis emphasizes that advancing Indigenous educational aspirations depends on the synergy between culturally grounded practices and inclusive, decentralized, epistemically diverse public policies.

Abstract

Teacher professionalism is highly needed in today's era. Teacher professionalism will be seen from teachers' efforts to improve qualifications, certification, competency, and adapt to changes in the work environment. This study aims to analyze and measure the effectiveness of the implementation of an academic supervision model in an effort to improve the professionalism of public elementary school teachers in East Ungaran Regency. This study uses a quantitative ex post facto approach, involving public elementary school teachers in East Ungaran Regency as subjects. Data were collected through instruments that measure the quality of academic supervision and the level of teacher professionalism, then analyzed using regression and correlation techniques to determine the relationship and influence between variables. The results show that the effectiveness of the academic supervision model is in the high category and has an important role in improving teacher quality. Statistically, academic supervision is a strong and significant predictor in improving the professionalism of elementary school teachers in the region. These findings have important implications for regional education policy, particularly in determining the priorities of supervision programs, the focus of improving teacher professionalism, and the development of supervisor capabilities and competencies.

Abstract

The phenomenon of teacher work stress is increasingly becoming a concern due to increasing professional demands and the dynamics of change in the education system. This study aims to identify predictors of teacher work stress through a systematic review of published literature from 2015–2025. The research method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on the PRISMA protocol with the stages of identification, selection, quality evaluation, and synthesis of findings. From all the studies reviewed, a number of literatures showed that workload and work environment are two main determinants that consistently contribute to increased teacher work stress. High workload, especially related to administrative tasks and dual responsibilities, has been shown to increase psychological distress, while an unsupportive work environment amplifies the impact of stress and reduces teacher well-being. The results of this study confirm that work stress arises in response to an imbalance between job demands and available resources, therefore, comprehensive management efforts are needed. In conclusion, workload and work environment play a significant role as triggers of teacher work stress, and these findings can form the basis for developing policies and intervention strategies to create a healthier and more sustainable educational work climate.
