Abstract

The quality of learning in schools is shaped by several key factors, including the principal's leadership style, school culture, and teacher professionalism. This research aims to examine the individual and combined effects of these factors on the learning quality in public junior high schools in the Kendal region. Using a quantitative approach, the study collected data from 118 respondents across 4 schools through observations and questionnaires. The findings indicate that (1) transformational leadership significantly influences the quality of learning, accounting for 73.3% of its variation. (2) School culture also plays a crucial role, explaining 68.9% of the variation in learning quality. (3) Teacher professionalism is another important factor, contributing 73.0% to the variation in learning outcomes. (4) When combined, transformational leadership, school culture, and teacher professionalism together account for 78.7% of the variation in learning quality. To improve learning outcomes, it is recommended that school principals focus on developing a transformational leadership style through ongoing training. Additionally, schools should actively nurture a positive and strong culture by engaging the entire educational community, including teachers, students, and parents. Teachers are encouraged to enhance their professionalism through structured training, continuous personal development, and fostering a high level of commitment to their teaching responsibilities.

Abstract

Design education in the context of formal education is often limited to aesthetic achievement, ignoring its potential as a medium for forming social values. This study aims to (1) analyze the gap between the theoretical potential of design as a tool for social change and existing pedagogical practices and (2) propose a design education model based on local historical narratives as a transformative solution. Through a literature review method with library studies and reflective analysis of curriculum practices, the study developed a three-stage approach: (a) exploration of local historical sources (e.g., Makassar-Aboriginal relations), (b) reflection of social values in the narrative, and (c) creative translation in design projects. The findings show that this model develops technical competence and significantly strengthens students' multicultural awareness, historical empathy, and social responsibility. This study proves how integrating critical pedagogy, participatory design practices, and local wisdom can transform design education from merely teaching skills to becoming a vehicle for character formation. The study's implications recommend reorientating curriculum design based on values and socio-cultural contexts to create more relevant and transformative educational practices.

Abstract

The demands of 21st century education emphasize the importance of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). One approach considered effective in supporting the achievement of these goals is the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the PBL model in enhancing problem solving skills in science subjects and self regulated learning among elementary school students. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of two classes, each serving as either the experimental or the control group. Data were collected using instruments in the form of a test to assess science problem solving ability and a questionnaire to measure self-regulation learning. The analysis using MANOVA revealed a significant effect of PBL implementation on the simultaneous improvement of both variables, with a significance level of 0.001, which is less than 0.05. These results indicate that PBL is capable of creating an active, reflective, and collaborative learning environment. The conclusion of this study affirms that PBL is an effective alternative instructional strategy for supporting students' holistic competency development. Therefore, it is recommended that this model be implemented more broadly in thematic learning at the elementary school level and further explored for development across different educational levels and contexts.

Abstract

The current disruptive era demands many changes in various areas of life. Likewise, the technological transformation has significant unavoidable consequences. This is where it is necessary to consider a strong foundation for students from the elementary level. This article examines the application and reflection of philosophy on the content of elementary school mathematics in Indonesia. The background of this study is the need for an era where there is a need for constructive mathematics learning from an early age towards learning the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The purpose of this study is to identify (1) the nature of symptoms or objects of application and reflection of philosophy in elementary mathematics (ontological reasons), (2) how to obtain or manage symptoms or objects (epistemological reasons), (3) the benefits of symptoms or objects (axiological reasons), and two-way understanding of phenomena and objects (hermeneutics). Data is obtained based on relevant sources such as journal articles, books, and previous research results supported by qualitative analysis. The results of this study indicate the need to reveal the application and reflection of philosophy in low-grade mathematics content through the ontology of mathematics, epistemology, axiology, and hermeneutics.

Abstract

Despite increasing recognition of Indigenous knowledge systems, the role of informal adult learning within customary communities remains under-theorized in mainstream adult education discourse. There is limited understanding of how traditional practices, beliefs, and community structures shape learning processes outside formal institutions. This study investigates the role of informal adult learning in Kampung Adat Banceuy, a Sundanese customary village in West Java, Indonesia. The research focuses on how learning is embedded in four interconnected domains: customary leadership, ritual practice, selective acculturation, and community-based tourism. These domains form a cohesive learning ecology through which cultural knowledge, social roles, and ethical values are transmitted and adapted across generations. Using an ethnographic methodology, the study involved participant observation, semi-structured interviews with 36 informants, and analysis of cultural documents. Data were examined through thematic coding and interpretive analysis to capture the nuanced, situated processes of learning as enacted in everyday life. Findings show that informal adult learning in Banceuy is relational, embodied, and performative. Tourism, in particular, functions as a reflexive learning environment where adults develop narrative, logistical, and intercultural competencies while negotiating cultural meaning and ethical boundaries. Rather than being a site of commodification, tourism becomes a space of identity work and adaptive pedagogy. These insights challenge conventional hierarchies of formal education and affirm the centrality of Indigenous learning systems in sustaining cultural resilience. The study offers implications for policy and theory, emphasizing the need to support culturally embedded, community-driven models of adult education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the quality of inclusive education services for Children with Special Needs (CSN) in Palu City using the New Public Service (NPS) approach developed by Robert B. Denhardt. The NPS framework emphasizes a public service orientation that does not merely focus on efficiency or customer satisfaction, but rather positions citizens as active participants in decision-making processes. It also underscores the importance of democratic values, ethics, accountability, and collaboration. This study employs a qualitative method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis conducted in several inclusive schools in Palu. The findings indicate that the quality of education services for CSN continues to face a number of challenges, including limited community involvement, insufficient budgetary and infrastructural support, and weak coordination among schools, families, and other stakeholders. Although the principle of inclusivity has been formally adopted, its implementation remains far from the core tenets of NPS. Therefore, strengthening participatory governance that is responsive to the needs of CSN is essential to realizing an inclusive and equitable education service.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of play-based learning methods and coordination exercises on motor skills, specifically the volleyball serve technique, at Junior High School (JHS) 19 Bintan. The research utilized a quasi-experimental 2x2 factorial design, involving 20 students from grade VII, categorized based on their motor skills into high and low groups. The volleyball serve skills were assessed using the AAHPER Serving Accuracy Test, while motor skills were measured through tests of strength, speed, agility, power, and coordination. Data analysis was performed using two-way ANOVA. The analysis revealed that the overall model was statistically significant (F=89.378, p=0.000), explaining 93.3% of the variance in volleyball serve performance. However, the main effect of teaching methods (F=58.800, p=0.130) and motor ability (F=202.800, p=0.152) were not statistically significant. Additionally, the interaction between teaching methods and motor ability did not yield a significant result (F=6.533, p=0.421). Descriptive statistics indicated that students with higher motor abilities, particularly those exposed to play-based methods, showed improved performance in overhand serve skills. While the results did not reach statistical significance, these trends suggest that integrating play-based learning with coordination exercises may have practical benefits for enhancing motor skill development, particularly in sports that require technical precision, such as volleybal.
