Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of instructional leadership of school principals and teachers' work motivation for the teaching performance of elementary school teachers in Tegalwaru District, Purwakarta Regency. The approach used is quantitative with correlation and multiple regression methods. The study population included 237 teachers from 25 elementary schools, with a sample of 142 teachers determined through proportional random sampling techniques. Data was collected using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was carried out with the help of SPSS 24 through descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests, correlation tests, determination coefficients, F tests and t tests, as well as the preparation of regression equations. The results showed that instructional leadership had a significant effect on teaching performance with a contribution of 43.6%, work motivation had a significant effect with a contribution of 30%, and simultaneously both explained 47.6% of teacher performance variations. Implication, strengthening instructional leadership and a system of increasing work motivation needs to be a priority for elementary school policies. It is recommended that school principals improve academic supervision, coaching, and professional support, while teachers develop pedagogic competencies and classroom management through continuous development programs. Follow-up research is recommended to include other factors outside the model, such as school culture, parental support, and learning facilities, to explain the remaining variation in performance and enrich the development of teacher performance management models at the primary education level.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role and spiritual leadership strategy of school principals in fostering the character of caring for the environment of elementary school students. Based on the theory of Spiritual Leadership Fry (vision, hope/faith, altruistic love), this study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method at SDN Ekologi Kahuripan Padjajaran, Purwakarta. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with principals, teachers, and supervisors; participatory observation of learning activities and environmental programs; as well as documentation studies on school policies, programs, and archives. Data analysis is carried out through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawn, with triangulation of sources, methods, and time to ensure validity. The results of the study show that the spiritual leadership of school principals plays a central role through three main functions: as a role model that displays examples of ecological behavior; as a decision maker who formulates ecological vision, waste sorting policies, cleanliness pickets, and the integration of environmental themes in the curriculum; as well as as a facilitator who provides environmentally friendly facilities such as waste banks, classroom gardens, compost areas, and recycling corners. The strategies used include the integration of environmental education in intracurricular, strengthening extracurricular and co-curricular activities based on experience, and developing a green school culture based on spiritual values. The findings show an improvement in students' ecological behaviors, including the habits of maintaining cleanliness, caring for plants, saving energy, and actively participating in environmental programs. This research confirms that spiritual leadership is an effective transformative approach to integrating spiritual values and environmental education in a sustainable manner in primary schools.

Abstract

Character education in elementary schools faces significant challenges in the digital era, including declining student engagement with conventional teaching methods and inadequate integration of character values into curricula. This study aimed to analyze the needs for developing Google Sites-based character education media enhanced with Augmented Reality technology using the Problem-Based Learning approach in Indonesian elementary schools. A quantitative descriptive design with needs analysis was employed, utilizing structured questionnaires distributed to two fifth-grade teachers and 30 fifth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with percentage calculations and mean score computations across five dimensions: pedagogical, technical, cognitive, aesthetic, and evaluative. Results revealed remarkably high need indicators, with students averaging 94.4% and teachers 90.4% across all dimensions. Students demonstrated universal preference for interactive, visually appealing media with immediate feedback mechanisms, while teachers emphasized sustained professional development needs and embedded assessment tools. These findings validate the critical necessity for integrating technological affordances, pedagogical frameworks, and authentic problem-solving contexts in character education. The study extends the TPACK framework to character education domains and provides evidence-based design specifications for developing innovative, stakeholder-centered learning media that addresses contemporary educational demands in elementary settings.

Abstract

Educational disparities persist among pre-prosperous communities in Indonesia, with 2.54 million adolescents lacking formal education access. This study evaluates philanthropy-based educational services at PKBM Binar to assess their effectiveness in enhancing educational access, quality, and program sustainability. Employing Stufflebeam's CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model with a convergent mixed-methods design, data were collected from 68 participants across five stakeholder groups through questionnaires (Cronbach's α: 0.78-0.92), semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis over three months (September-November 2024). Quantitative findings revealed consistently high stakeholder satisfaction across all CIPP dimensions (mean scores: 4.50-4.68/5.0). Qualitative data confirmed program effectiveness in providing accessible, quality education while maintaining sustainability through volunteer educators, donor support, and collaborative governance. Unexpected findings included spontaneous peer mentoring systems and alumni community leadership emergence, suggesting multiplier effects beyond immediate beneficiaries. Results validate philanthropic education's viability in addressing educational inequities. The program successfully operationalizes giving, serving, and associating principles, though challenges in volunteer professional development, post-graduation support, and geographical outreach require strategic attention. Findings extend CIPP model applications while providing actionable insights for similar initiatives.

Abstract

Principal leadership plays a crucial role in creating conducive learning environments, yet significant variations in learning quality across elementary schools suggest inadequate understanding of leadership mechanisms in specific contexts. This quantitative study employed correlational survey design to examine principal leadership effects on learning quality in 26 public elementary schools in Tanggungharjo District, Indonesia. Data were collected from 137 teachers using validated questionnaires measuring five leadership dimensions (personality, managerial competence, academic supervision, social communication, and entrepreneurship/innovation) and learning quality indicators. Principal Component Analysis assessed dimensional structure, while Pearson correlation and simple linear regression analyzed variable relationships. Principal leadership demonstrated very strong positive correlation with learning quality (r = 0.893, p < 0.01), explaining 79.7% of learning quality variance. Dimensional analysis revealed academic supervision and entrepreneurship/innovation as strongest contributors (extraction values = 0.996), while managerial and social-communication dimensions showed relatively lower contributions. The regression equation (Y = 29.588 + 0.596X) confirmed significant positive influence (t = 22.994, p < 0.001).  Findings validate integrated transformational-instructional leadership frameworks, demonstrating that contemporary principal effectiveness requires simultaneously excelling as pedagogical supervisors and entrepreneurial innovators. Results emphasize urgent need for targeted leadership development interventions, particularly in schools where 45.99% of respondents perceived inadequate leadership quality, to strengthen academic supervision competencies and entrepreneurial mindsets for sustainable educational improvement.

Abstract

Elementary science education faces challenges in visualizing abstract concepts such as the water cycle. This study aimed to examine the effect of animated video learning media on fifth-grade students' IPAS learning outcomes. A quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest was employed with 40 students at SD Negeri 15 Mataram, divided into an experimental group (n=22) using animated videos and a control group (n=18) using conventional methods. Data were collected through multiple-choice tests and analyzed using independent samples t-test. The experimental group achieved significantly higher posttest mean scores of 82.27 (SD=8.91) compared to the control group's 68.89 (SD=9.76), with t(38)=4.482, p<0.001, and mean difference of 13.38 points. Findings support the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning, demonstrating that dual-channel presentation (visual and auditory) optimizes cognitive processing and knowledge construction. Animated videos facilitated visualization of dynamic water cycle processes difficult to observe directly, reduced cognitive load, and supported meaningful learning aligned with constructivist principles. Animated video media significantly enhanced IPAS learning outcomes on water cycle content, providing practical implications for technology integration in science education under the Kurikulum Merdeka framework.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of teacher leadership and learning climate on learning quality at SMP Negeri 1 Sorong Regency, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 202 students through validated questionnaires (Cronbach's α > 0.80) and observational assessments of 41 teachers. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine both partial and simultaneous effects. Results revealed that teacher leadership significantly and positively influenced learning quality (β = 0.222, t = 3.962, p < 0.001), as did learning climate with substantially greater magnitude (β = 0.626, t = 11.113, p < 0.001). Simultaneously, both variables explained 63.9% of learning quality variance (R² = 0.639, F = 175.847, p < 0.001), with learning climate emerging as the dominant predictor. These findings demonstrate that while effective teacher leadership enhances learning quality through classroom management, motivational communication, and instructional guidance, learning climate exerts primary influence by providing psychologically safe, inclusive, and supportive environments essential for student engagement and achievement. The dominance of learning climate in Indonesia's multicultural educational context challenges Western-centric frameworks prioritizing leadership over environmental factors. Practical implications suggest educational stakeholders should prioritize climate enhancement initiatives while simultaneously strengthening teacher leadership capacities to optimize learning quality in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

Indonesia's renewable energy penetration (12.3% in 2022) lags significantly behind 2030 targets (19-23%), with Cilegon City facing 1,167 unelectrified households and rising waste generation. This study assessed renewable energy development potential through LEAP-based electricity demand modeling (2023-2033) and technical-economic evaluation of solar photovoltaic and Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) systems. Meteorological and waste generation data informed engineering calculations and financial feasibility analysis. LEAP projections indicate residential electricity demand reaching 728.1 MWh per household by 2033, driven by 13.9% population growth. Off-grid solar PV systems demonstrate viability with Rp. 5,774/kWh levelized cost for unserved households. The proposed UPTD 3 Merak RDF facility shows strong economics: 22 tonnes/day capacity, 2-year payback, Rp. 12.5 billion NPV, and 3.01 benefit-cost ratio. Findings reveal that institutional rather than technical barriers impede deployment, highlighting needs for standardized subsidies, clarified jurisdictional frameworks, and municipal-utility partnerships. This research advances urban renewable energy planning by integrating bottom-up energy modeling with localized assessments, providing replicable frameworks for Indonesian cities pursuing energy transition and environmental sustainability goals.

Abstract

School principals play a critical role in character education, yet limited research examines disciplinary character formation in remote, culturally diverse contexts. This study investigated principals' roles and strategies in fostering disciplinary character among students in Tambrauw Regency junior secondary schools and assessed the impacts of their leadership. A qualitative case study approach was employed at two schools: SMP Negeri 1 Sausapor and SMP YPK Maranatha Sausapor. Data were collected over three months through in-depth interviews with principals, vice principals, teachers, and students, complemented by non-participant observations and document analysis. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model, with validity ensured through source, method, and time triangulation. Findings revealed that principals effectively performed multifaceted roles as educators, managers, supervisors, and exemplary models. Strategic approaches encompassed consistent personal modeling, habituation programs, balanced reinforcement systems, and culturally responsive collaboration with stakeholders. Quantifiable impacts included a 16-percentage-point reduction in student tardiness, 73% decrease in uniform violations, and establishment of positive school culture. Principals demonstrated cultural intelligence by integrating local Papuan customs with national educational standards. This study demonstrates that transformational leadership, when contextually adapted to honor indigenous values, effectively cultivates disciplinary character in remote multicultural settings, contributing empirical evidence to educational leadership discourse in underserved regions.

Abstract

Foreign language anxiety significantly impedes English learning, particularly in under-resourced rural schools where students face limited exposure and inadequate learning resources. This study examined the nature and sources of English learning anxiety among junior high school students in a remote Indonesian school. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed with 36 eighth and ninth-grade students. Quantitative data were collected using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) to measure anxiety levels, while qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with 18 high-anxiety students and two teachers, combined with classroom observations, explored anxiety sources. The mean State Anxiety score of 69.5 indicated moderately high to high anxiety levels, particularly during speaking activities. Strong negative correlations emerged between anxiety and self-confidence (r = -0.866, p < 0.001). Thematic analysis identified three primary anxiety sources: fear of negative peer evaluation, insufficient preparation time, and perceived low ability relative to classmates. Both state and trait anxiety significantly impeded students' English engagement across contexts. Findings support Krashen's Affective Filter Hypothesis while extending it by demonstrating how both state and trait anxiety dimensions contribute to emotional barriers in language acquisition. Contextual factors specific to rural, under-resourced settings amplified anxiety beyond levels observed in advantaged environments. Results suggest anxiety reduction requires supportive classroom atmospheres, cooperative learning with adequate preparation, and explicit peer norms prohibiting ridicule.
