Abstract

Arts, Culture, and Crafts (SBdP) education in rural Indonesian elementary schools faces persistent challenges due to reliance on conventional lecture-based instruction, resulting in suboptimal student engagement and learning outcomes. Audio-visual media offers potential pedagogical advantages through dual-channel information processing, yet empirical evidence regarding its effectiveness in elementary arts education remains limited. This study investigated the effect of audio-visual media on second-grade students' learning outcomes in SBdP at Parigimpu'u Public Elementary School. A quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent control groups was employed, involving nine students divided into experimental (n=5) and control (n=4) groups. The experimental group received instruction incorporating audio-visual media demonstrating piggy bank construction techniques, while the control group received conventional instruction. Performance-based assessments measuring accuracy, neatness, creativity, and timeliness were administered as pretest and posttest. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-test. The experimental group achieved significantly higher posttest scores (M=95.83, SD=2.95) compared to the control group (M=85.94, SD=6.99), with statistical analysis confirming significance (t=2.975, p<0.05). All experimental group students surpassed the minimum passing threshold, demonstrating substantial improvement from baseline. Audio-visual media significantly enhances learning outcomes in elementary SBdP education by facilitating concrete visualization, reducing cognitive load, and promoting active engagement, supporting its integration into arts curricula particularly in resource-constrained rural schools.

Abstract

Teacher pedagogical competence remains a critical concern in Indonesia's educational landscape, particularly during the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. While transformational leadership and professional learning communities have been identified as influential factors, limited research has examined their combined effects in rural contexts. This study investigated the individual and simultaneous influence of school principals' transformational leadership and Ruang GTK learning community engagement on teachers' pedagogical competence in junior high schools. Employing an explanatory quantitative design, this study utilized census sampling involving all 75 teachers from four junior high schools in Koto Gasib District, Riau Province. Data were collected using validated Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed through multiple linear regression. Both transformational leadership (β = 0.212, p = 0.002) and learning community engagement (β = 0.489, p = 0.000) significantly influenced pedagogical competence. Simultaneously, these variables explained 61.3% of the variance in pedagogical competence (R² = 0.613, F = 57.146, p = 0.000). A strong correlation between transformational leadership and learning communities (r = 0.763) revealed a synergistic relationship. Learning communities demonstrated stronger direct effects than transformational leadership on pedagogical competence. The synergistic relationship between both factors suggests that integrated interventions targeting leadership development and collaborative learning platforms yield optimal outcomes for enhancing teacher quality during curriculum reform implementation in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract

Reading comprehension remains a persistent challenge in elementary education, with students frequently struggling to organize textual information and identify main ideas. This study investigated the effectiveness of mind mapping strategies in enhancing reading comprehension among fifth-grade students. Employing a classroom action research design based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, this study involved 33 fifth-grade students at SD Inpres 3 Tondo across two iterative cycles. Data were collected through observation sheets for teacher and student activities, reading comprehension rubrics, and documentation. Analysis combined descriptive statistics for quantitative data and thematic analysis for qualitative observations. Reading comprehension performance improved significantly from 63% (sufficient category) in Cycle I to 79% (good category) in Cycle II, representing a 16-percentage-point increase. Student engagement increased from 65% to 91%, while teacher effectiveness improved from 89% to 95%. An unexpected finding revealed that struggling readers benefited disproportionately from the intervention, showing 24-percentage-point gains compared to 12-percentage-point improvements among higher-performing students. The findings support dual coding theory and schema theory, demonstrating that visual-verbal integration through mind mapping facilitates deeper cognitive processing. Mind mapping proved effective as an accessible, low-cost intervention that transforms comprehension from an invisible individual activity into a visible collaborative process, with implications for literacy instruction in resource-constrained contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership of school principals and work climate on the performance of elementary school teachers in Plered District, Purwakarta Regency. The transformational leadership of the principal is considered the main factor that can create an inspiring and supportive work environment, while a conducive work climate plays a role in increasing the motivation and productivity of teachers in carrying out their duties. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational survey method to analyze the relationship between the principal's transformational leadership, work climate, and teacher performance. The research was carried out in an elementary school in Plered District, Purwakarta Regency with a population of 273 teachers. The sample of 152 respondents was determined through proportional random sampling. The research variables included transformational leadership, work climate, and teacher performance. Data was collected using a Likert scale questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was carried out through descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests, correlations, determination coefficients, hypothesis tests with ANOVA, and linear regression using SPSS. The descriptive results showed that the teacher's performance was in the Good category with a general tendency of strong professionalism. Transformational leadership is also in the Good category with strength in inspirational motivation, while the work climate is considered conducive and stable. In terms of influence, transformational leadership contributes significantly to teacher performance by 82.3%, the work climate affects 77.3%, and transformational leadership affects the work climate by 74.1%. Simultaneously, transformational leadership and work climate explain 86.1% of teacher performance variations. The implications of the study confirm the importance of strengthening visionary leadership, collaborative culture, and teacher participation in decision-making. Suggestions are given to the education office, supervisors, principals, teachers, academics, and researchers to develop coaching programs, reflective supervision, as well as improve professionalism and collaboration based on the needs of elementary schools on a sustainable basis.

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.
