Abstract

Purpose: The development of digital technology in primary education presents a paradox in instructional leadership. Although schools are increasingly providing learning technologies, the transformation of instructional practices has not yet fully occurred. This study aims to analyze how teacher learning communities construct collective digital instructional leadership through reflection, collaboration, and the distribution of agency among teachers. Methods: This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design focusing on the Kombel Ganesha teacher learning community in Yogyakarta. The participants consisted of one head of the learning community, two community administrators, and one school supervisor, who were selected purposively. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis, and were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis with the assistance of ATLAS.ti. Findings: The findings revealed five major themes: agency and instructional leadership, data-based planning and assessment, technology integration and innovation, collaboration within teacher learning communities, and quality assurance and teacher role modeling. The findings indicate that teacher learning communities function as collaborative spaces for professional reflection, shared problem-solving, and instructional improvement. Collective digital instructional leadership develops through collaboration, technology integration, and institutional support, enabling teachers to address the gap between digital learning demands and pedagogical readiness. Research Implications: Teacher learning communities can serve as strategic platforms for strengthening collective digital instructional leadership and supporting sustainable pedagogical transformation in primary education. Originality: This study proposes collective digital instructional leadership as a collaborative approach to bridging the gap between digital learning demands and pedagogical readiness through teacher learning communities.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined project-based learning and vocational self-concept as predictors of employability skills among Grade XII vocational high school students in Gorontalo, Indonesia. Methods: A quantitative correlational design was used with 215 students selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring project-based learning, vocational self-concept, and employability skills, and analysed using descriptive statistics, assumption tests, simple regression, and multiple regression. Findings: The descriptive results indicated that students’ responses were predominantly distributed in the high category for project-based learning experience, vocational self-concept, and employability skills. Project-based learning significantly predicted employability skills, R² = 0.471, F (1, 213) = 189.746, p < .001. Vocational self-concept also significantly predicted employability skills, R² = 0.519, F (1, 213) = 229.476, p < .001. Together, both predictors explained 62.3% of the variance in employability skills, R² = 0.623, adjusted R² = 0.620, F (2, 212) = 175.467, p < .001. Vocational self-concept showed a slightly stronger standardized contribution than project-based learning in the simultaneous model. Research implications: Vocational high schools should integrate authentic project-based learning with career-oriented reflection, mentoring, and vocational identity development. Originality: This study integrates a pedagogical predictor and an identity-based predictor in a single employability model within a regional Indonesian vocational education context.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify and describe the characteristics of students’ retractive thinking in solving differential equation problems. The research focuses on how students recognize errors, evaluate solution procedures, and revise their mathematical reasoning during the problem-solving process. Methods: This qualitative study employed a case study design involving eight mathematics education students who had completed a Differential Equations course. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using think-aloud protocols, semi-structured interviews, and documentation of students’ written work. Data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by triangulation and member checking to ensure credibility. Findings: The findings reveal three main characteristics of retractive thinking. First, students demonstrate error recognition, shown by their ability to identify inconsistencies in their solution steps during or after problem solving. Second, students exhibit procedural re-examination, where they return to earlier steps to verify formulas and computational processes. Third, students apply solution revision strategies, ranging from correcting algebraic errors to restructuring entire solution procedures. However, retractive thinking is not consistently supported by conceptual understanding, as many revisions remain procedural rather than conceptual. This indicates a gap between procedural fluency and conceptual awareness in differential equation problem solving. Research Implications: The findings suggest the importance of integrating metacognitive strategies in teaching differential equations, particularly activities that promote self-monitoring, error analysis, and reflective revision. These strategies can strengthen students’ retractive thinking abilities. However, this study is limited by its small sample size and case study design, which restrict generalization. The findings are therefore context-bound and intended to provide analytical insight rather than statistical generalization. Originality: This study contributes to the literature by specifically identifying and describing retractive thinking characteristics in the context of differential equation problem solving, offering a process-oriented perspective beyond procedural error analysis

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze how principal leadership contributes to the development of an adaptive educational management culture in elementary schools, particularly in responding to policy changes, learning needs, and the dynamics of school governance. Methods: This study employed a qualitative case study design involving three elementary schools: SD Negeri 2 Baubau, SD Negeri 2 Palatiga, and SD Negeri Palatiga. This study employed a qualitative case study design involving three elementary schools. Fifteen informants, consisting of three principals, nine teachers, and three educational staff members, were selected purposively. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Findings: The findings reveal that adaptive educational management culture is developed through five interconnected mechanisms: translating the school vision into daily work practices, strengthening participatory communication, involving teachers in decision-making and program implementation, promoting context-based program flexibility, and using reflective evaluation as a space for organizational learning. Research Implications: The study implies that principals need to strengthen collaborative governance, reflective supervision, teacher participation, and context-sensitive decision-making to build schools that are more responsive to institutional and pedagogical change. Originality: This study offers a contextual model of adaptive educational management culture by positioning principal leadership as a cultural and relational practice rather than merely an administrative function. lies in the placement of the principal's leadership as a cultural practice that constructs an adaptive management culture through social relations and organizational learning, not just an administrative function.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the learning process quality in the Agricultural Industrial Technology Program at Universitas Negeri Makassar by evaluating satisfaction, analyzing gaps, and mapping priority attributes to provide data-driven management recommendations. Methods: This descriptive quantitative survey involved 121 active students, split into pilot and main groups. Content validity was verified using Aiken’s V with 5 experts. Construct validity was tested via Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in JASP, and reliability via Cronbach's Alpha. Data analysis integrated the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). Findings: Aiken's V confirmed content validity (V ≥ 0.87). CFA eliminated 5 weak items, leaving 40 valid items with excellent reliability (alpha = 0.958). Indicator CSI scores reflected "Satisfied" and "Very Satisfied" categories (70.08%–84.40%). The grand mean of performance (X = 3.99) fell below importance (Y = 4.46), yielding a -0.47 gap. The IPA matrix identified two critical Quadrant I (Top Priority) attributes: lab staff responsiveness to technical glitches (Item 18) and flexible personal tutoring for struggling students (Item 34). Research Implications: These findings direct study program management to bypass high-cost overhauls, reallocating those resources to optimize laboratory staff responsiveness and more personalized student mentoring. Additionally, the CSI baseline indicates that student satisfaction remains anchored by strong pedagogy, proving that interventions must target specific technical and administrative bottlenecks. Originality: This study hybridizes the SERVQUAL framework with the latest National Higher Education Standards (Permendiktisaintek No. 39/2025), statistically reinforced by CFA to map academic dynamics in a developing engineering program.
