Abstract

This study aims to develop a transformational leadership–based educational management model that is valid, practical, and effective for improving elementary school teachers’ performance in Padang Lawas Regency, North Sumatra. The research was motivated by suboptimal teacher performance caused by conventional principal leadership practices and the limited integration of management functions with transformational leadership principles. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the Borg and Gall model, involving stages from preliminary study to final product refinement. Participants included principals and teachers from public elementary schools in Sosopan District. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, documentation, and testing, and analyzed using qualitative and quantitative techniques, including validity, reliability, and effectiveness analysis. The results indicate that the developed model meets high criteria of validity, practicality, and effectiveness. Implementation across three trial stages demonstrated significant improvements in principals’ transformational leadership dimensions and teacher performance in planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning. The findings suggest that integrating educational management functions with transformational leadership principles can systematically enhance teacher performance and support sustainable school quality improvement.

Abstract

This research investigates the effect of the Graphic Organizer strategy on students’ reading comprehension of narrative texts, focusing specifically on literal and inferential understanding. The study employed a quasi-experimental design involving two eleventh-grade classes of SMA YP HKBP 1 Pematangsiantar. An experimental class was taught using story-map graphic organizers, and a control class was taught using conventional reading instruction. Both groups were given a pre-test and post-test to measure their comprehension before and after the treatment. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that both classes improved after instruction; the experimental class increased from a mean score of 63.81 to 85.71, while the control class improved from 75.00 to 89.52. Paired sample t-test results indicated significant improvement within each group. However, the independent sample t-test showed no statistically significant difference between the post-test scores of the two groups (Sig. = .228 more than 0.05). This finding indicates that although the Graphic Organizer strategy helped students improve their comprehension and organize narrative information more effectively, it was not significantly more effective than the conventional method within the duration and conditions of this study.

Abstract

This study aims to examine teachers' strategies in teaching English vocabulary through games in elementary schools. Vocabulary is an important foundation in language learning, and the use of games is considered capable of making the learning process more interesting and meaningful for students. This study employs a literature review method to analyze various findings related to the application of games in vocabulary learning. The results of the study show that teachers use various games such as flashcards, word-matching games, bingo, guessing games, and role play, which are systematically integrated into the learning process. The use of games helps students understand the meaning of words, improve memory, and use vocabulary in simple communication. In addition, games also increase students' motivation, participation, and confidence. Overall, game-based vocabulary learning is effective in elementary schools if it is well designed and properly managed by teachers.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of cohesive devices in improving students’ ability to write recount texts at the ninth grade of SMP Negeri 1 Siantar. A qualitative research design was employed, with data collected from 30 students’ written texts based on their personal experiences. The analysis was guided by Halliday and Hasan’s cohesion framework, which includes grammatical cohesion (reference, substitution, ellipsis, and conjunction) and lexical cohesion. The findings revealed a total of 1,025 cohesive devices, with reference (38.82%) and conjunction (34.14%) as the most dominant types, followed by lexical cohesion (26.04%). In contrast, substitution (0.68%) and ellipsis (0.29%) were rarely used. These results indicate that students possess a basic understanding of cohesion, particularly in organizing ideas and maintaining textual flow. However, their use of cohesive devices remains limited in variation and sophistication. Therefore, more explicit instruction and practice are recommended to enhance students’ mastery of diverse cohesive strategies and improve overall writing quality.

Abstract

This study examined the interaction effects of teaching methods and gender on students’ academic achievement and interest in learning Microsoft Word among senior secondary school students in Anambra State, Nigeria. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest non-equivalent group design was adopted using 196 SS2 students selected from four secondary schools in the Nnewi Education Zone. Data were collected using the Computer Studies Achievement Test (CSAT) and Computer Studies Interest Scale (CSIS), with reliability coefficients of 0.90 and 0.89 respectively. Mean, standard deviation, and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that experiential learning significantly improved students’ achievement and interest compared to the conventional lecture method. Female students exposed to experiential learning achieved higher academic performance gains, while male students demonstrated greater increases in learning interest. The study also established significant interaction effects between teaching methods and gender on both achievement and interest in Microsoft Word. These results indicate that experiential learning promotes active participation, enhances digital literacy skills, and creates more engaging classroom experiences. The study concludes that experiential learning is a more effective instructional strategy for computer studies and recommends its integration into secondary school curricula to support inclusive and technology-oriented learning environments.

Abstract

This study examines the challenges faced by students (santri) in memorizing the Qur’an in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Koto Kampar Hulu District. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving santri, tahfizh teachers, and pesantren administrators. The findings indicate that students experience both internal and external obstacles in the memorization process. Internal challenges include limited mastery of makharijul huruf and tajwid, lack of consistency (istiqamah), insufficient practice of muraja’ah, difficulties in memorizing long and mutasyabihat verses, and rapid forgetting of previously memorized passages. External factors consist of learning environment conditions, mentoring patterns, and varying levels of parental support. To address these challenges, pesantren implement several strategies, such as routine muraja’ah, grouping students based on memorization ability, strengthening learning motivation, and involving parents in supporting the memorization process. The study concludes that consistency and regular repetition play a more decisive role in successful Qur’anic memorization than intellectual ability alone.

Abstract

This study examines the use of inflectional affixes in J.K. Rowling’s novel Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets from a morphological perspective. The research aims to identify the types of inflectional affixes and explain their grammatical functions in the narrative context. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected from selected words and sentences in the novel. The analysis is based on Yule’s (2010) theory, which classifies English inflection into eight categories: plural, possessive, third person singular present, past tense, past participle, progressive, comparative, and superlative. The findings reveal a total of 34 inflectional forms, consisting of five plural forms, five possessives, three third person singular forms, ten past tense forms, three past participles, five progressive forms, two comparative forms, and two superlative forms. These results demonstrate that inflectional affixes play an essential role in conveying grammatical meaning without altering word class or core meaning. This study contributes to morphological analysis by illustrating the practical use of English inflectional affixes in literary texts and may serve as a reference for students and researchers in linguistics and English language studies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the muhadhoroh program in developing students’ public speaking competence at the Ibadurrahman Islamic Boarding School in Payamabar, Stabat, Langkat. The muhadhoroh program is a structured activity designed to train students’ communication skills, self-confidence, and readiness to speak in public as future preachers and community leaders. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the pesantren leadership, supervising teachers (ustadz), and students from the MTs and Aliyah levels. The findings reveal that the implementation of the muhadhoroh program is conducted systematically through planning, implementation, and evaluation stages with active involvement of teachers and student administrators. Supporting factors include students’ motivation, exemplary guidance from teachers, and a supportive religious learning environment, while inhibiting factors involve stage fright, limited facilities, and insufficient preparation of speech materials. Overall, the program significantly contributes to improving students’ courage, speech organization, language mastery, and self-confidence in public speaking. The study highlights the importance of structured communication training as part of soft skills development in Islamic boarding schools.

Abstract

The rapid growth of financial technology (FinTech), particularly information technology–based lending services (peer-to-peer lending), has transformed the financing ecosystem by enabling direct interaction between lenders and borrowers through digital platforms. Despite this development, governance mechanisms that represent and protect the collective interests of funders remain limited within the regulatory framework. This study aims to analyze the legal position, functions, and potential regulatory framework of the General Meeting of Funders as a governance mechanism in information technology–based joint funding services. The research employs a normative juridical approach using statutory, conceptual, and comparative legal analyses. The findings indicate that the absence of a formal collective forum for funders may weaken transparency, accountability, and collective decision-making in digital lending platforms. The proposed concept of a General Meeting of Funders can function as a participatory governance mechanism that facilitates collective supervision, strengthens the accountability of platform operators, and enhances legal protection for funders. This study contributes to the development of regulatory frameworks for digital financial services by proposing a governance model that balances technological innovation with legal certainty and investor protection.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Basic Education Data System (DAPODIK) in student data management at TK Al Hidayah Tanjung Jaya, an early childhood education institution in Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive case study approach, data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, DAPODIK operator, and teachers. The findings reveal that DAPODIK management has been implemented through four core management functions: planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision. Planning includes assigning responsible personnel and scheduling data collection, while organizing emphasizes collaboration among school stakeholders despite the operator’s multiple administrative responsibilities. The implementation process involves routine data entry, updating, and synchronization but is constrained by incomplete parental documentation, limited operator technical competence, inadequate technological facilities, and unstable internet connectivity. Furthermore, supervision and data quality evaluation are conducted only on an incidental basis and lack a structured monitoring mechanism. The study concludes that although DAPODIK has supported student data management, its implementation remains suboptimal. Strengthening human resource capacity, establishing comprehensive standard operating procedures, improving task distribution, and enhancing technological infrastructure are recommended to improve the effectiveness and reliability of education data management in early childhood education institutions.
