Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine how transformational leadership contributes to enhancing teachers’ inventiveness and creativity in madrasah environments, as part of efforts to improve educational quality in times of rapid change. Method: This research employs a quantitative approach using a questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Findings: The results indicate that transformational leadership plays a significant role in fostering supportive relationships and increasing teacher motivation, which subsequently encourages more inventive and creative performance among teachers. Research Implication: This study highlights the importance of implementing transformational leadership practices to cultivate a culture of creativity and innovation, thereby improving teacher productivity and overall educational quality. Originality: This study contributes by examining the link between transformational leadership and teacher creativity in madrasah contexts, supported by SEM-based empirical evidence.

Abstract

Purpose : This study examines the systematic use of differentiated learning in early childhood classrooms at Hang Tuah Kindergarten, Tarakan, with a focus on its observed associations across six developmental domains moral-religious, physical-motor, cognitive, linguistic, socio-emotional, and artistic. It addresses the research gap in holistic analyses that move beyond single-domain evaluations. Methods: A qualitative methodology was used, incorporating classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with educators, and analysis of children's work artifacts. Data triangulation included instructional techniques, instructor perspectives, and developmental markers. Evidence was categorized into observed behaviors, instructor reflections, and documented outputs, with quality ratings assigned for systematic comparison. Findings: The study highlighted consistent differentiation in content, process, and product, with content adaptation deemed "adequate." Gains were observed in linguistic proficiency, collaboration, creativity, motor coordination, and cognitive sequencing. Teachers noted feasibility, alignment with readiness, and engagement from activity choice. Moderate progress was seen in moral-religious and socio-emotional domains, indicating a need for more focused scaffolding and long-term strategies. Research Implications: Findings indicate that differentiated learning significantly contributes to balanced child development, linking Tomlinson’s differentiation framework to Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory. The study suggests that differentiated strategies can enhance academic and social growth, prompting policymakers to consider institutional support for content adaptation. Originality: This research presents a qualitative account of differentiated learning across six developmental domains in Indonesian kindergartens, contributing a comprehensive framework that integrates teacher perceptions, classroom practices, and developmental artifacts, expanding upon previous studies that have predominantly focused on isolated domains.

Abstract

This study addresses the need for a contextual spiritual assessment model in Christian higher education in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, by examining the internalization of the Law of Love (Matthew 22:37–40) in personal spirituality, integration of faith and reason, and environmental stewardship. A descriptive-quantitative survey was conducted with 94 students purposively sampled from four theological institutions in Kupang. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, primarily frequency distributions and percentage analysis. The findings revealed that 95.7% of respondents affirmed love as the foundational basis for life decisions (combined "Agree" and "Strongly Agree"). Personal piety was highly endorsed, with 94.7% reporting that daily prayer and Bible reading deepened their relationship with God, and 95.7% indicating that communal worship strengthened their faith. Integration of faith and reason was reflected by 60.6% strongly agreeing that Christian education helped them love God intellectually. Notably, 92.6% affirmed that their faith compels care for the environment (61.7% strongly agree), highlighting an emerging dimension of student spirituality. The study supports the relevance of a Matthew 22:37–40-based assessment model for holistic spiritual formation. However, limitations include reliance on self-report data, a geographically concentrated sample in Kupang, and a cross-sectional design. Future research employing mixed-methods and longitudinal approaches is recommended to validate these preliminary findings and capture behavioral expressions of spiritual formation..

Abstract

This study developed a podcast titled "SaveDrive ID" as a road safety education medium and evaluated its effectiveness among active drivers in Indonesia. The study employed Research and Development (R&D) using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). A needs analysis was conducted with 30 drivers; expert validation was performed by content and media specialists; and effectiveness was measured using Gratifications Sought (GS) and Gratifications Obtained (GO) instruments on 100 drivers at a Pertamina fuel station on Jl. Raya Narogong No. 57, Bogor. Expert validation yielded an overall feasibility score of 85.47%. GS-GO gap analysis showed positive gaps across all four dimensions: cognitive (+10.87%), affective (+8.20%), tension release (+7.87%), and personal integration (+6.00%), with an overall gap of +8.23% and mean GO score of 90.43%, all categorized as Highly Satisfying. Podcast is a viable, flexible, and impactful medium for non-formal road safety education that can reach active adult drivers without the constraints of conventional in-person delivery.
