Abstract

This study aims to explore the management of conflicts between teachers and students at SMK Sahid Surakarta by highlighting generational differences, expectations, values, and communication problems as the leading causes of conflict. This study integrates the wisdom principles of QS An-Nahl verse 125 and Carl Rogers' empathic approach to propose effective conflict resolution strategies. The strategy includes mediation, emotional education, counseling, and group discussions, expected to increase positive interactions between teachers and students. The method used in this study was qualitative, which included observation, interviews, and document analysis to understand the dynamics of conflict and improve the learning environment. The study results show that applying wisdom principles and restorative approaches can improve interpersonal relationships and create an inclusive school culture. This contributes to student well-being and more effective conflict resolution in the educational environment. This research is expected to provide insights for educators and school managers in creating a positive and supportive learning atmosphere and improving the overall quality of education.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped students’ academic environments, increasing psychological vulnerability due to prolonged social isolation and rising academic demands. This study explores how loneliness contributes to academic stress and whether self-compassion can buffer this relationship. While previous studies have examined loneliness and self-compassion independently, this study uniquely integrates both constructs into a unified model and tests the moderating role of self-compassion-a relationship that has rarely been empirically explored. Using a quantitative method with convenience sampling, data were collected from 88 university students in Indonesia aged 18-25 years. Participants completed standardized scales measuring loneliness, academic stress, and self-compassion via an online form. Multiple regression and moderation analyses revealed that loneliness positively predicted academic stress, while self-compassion had a negative effect. Importantly, self-compassion significantly moderated the impact of loneliness on academic stress, confirming its buffering role across low, moderate, and high levels. These findings demonstrate that self-compassion functions as an emotional coping resource capable of reducing stress associated with social isolation. This study contributes to the literature by addressing a key gap concerning the interaction between social and intrapersonal factors in predicting academic stress, and it offers practical implications for psychological support strategies in academic settings.

Abstract

The problem addressed in this research is the variation in students' levels of learning commitment and how these differences impact their learning outcomes in a micro-teaching course. The samples were nine fifth-semester students (1 male and 8 females) from a Micro-teaching class, the English Language Education Study Program determined using purposive sampling with varying learning outcomes. Learning outcome data was taken from the final grades of the micro-teaching course. The learning commitment indicators consist of seven indicators arranged in 14 questions for each interview: interest in alternatives, acquiescence, cooperation, enhancement, identity, advocacy, and ownership. Data were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. One student exhibited interest in alternatives commitment (score: 50.2), one student demonstrated acquiescence commitment (score: 61.1), three students showed advocacy commitment (scores: 75.5, 83.75, 89.75), and four students displayed ownership commitment (scores: 89.75, 90.6, 92.95, 95). No students were identified with cooperation, enhancement, or identity commitment strata. These results suggest a clear difference between students' learning commitment levels and learning outcomes in the microteaching course. The study concludes that students' learning commitment strata significantly impact learning outcomes, highlighting the importance of fostering strong learning commitment among students. The study recommends that educators implement strategies to strengthen students' learning commitment by encouraging higher levels of engagement and responsibility.

Abstract

Hope is important in mediating the relationship between optimism and grit in adolescents. Optimism, believing in positive future outcomes, can promote constructive attitudes. However, hope helps to direct such optimism into concrete actions in the form of grit in achieving goals. This study examined the effect of optimism on grit, with hope as a mediating among adolescents in Islamic boarding schools. This study used a quantitative, ex-post facto approach involving 367 adolescents selected through multistage random sampling. Data were collected using the Short Grit Scale (Grit-S), Optimism Scale, and Adult Dispositional Hope Scale. Data was analyzed using multiple regression with Process v4.2 macro of Hayes Model 4 through SPSS. The findings showed a significant positive influence between optimism and grit through hope, with complete mediation. Therefore, it is crucial for boarding schools to foster optimism and set realistic goals, as this can improve students' fortitude and academic achievement. The practical implications of these findings are that teachers and Islamic boarding school administrators can teach and promote an optimistic attitude and realistic and positive goal setting, reward small achievements, and goal visualization exercises can help increase adolescent hope and grit.

Abstract

This research explores the existential role of Ūlul Al-bāb's universal values in improving work ethic, achievement motivation, and performance at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. Using quantitative methods and Partial Least Square-Sequential Equation Model (PLS-SEM) analysis, this research examines the relationship between variables, emphasizing the mediating role of work ethic. Two hundred respondents were selected from a population of 506 permanent lecturers. The research results show a positive and significant relationship between Ūlul Al-bāb values and both work ethic and performance, which confirms that internalization of objective, moderate, and transcendental principles can improve the performance of lecturers within the institution. However, the direct relationship between Ūlul Al-bāb values and achievement motivation was found to be insignificant. This research also proves that work ethic emerges as an important mediator, linking Ūlul Al-bāb values to both achievement motivation and performance. These findings confirm the importance of translating Ūlul Al-bāb values into performance improvements. The practical implications of these findings are significant for human resource management in higher education.

Abstract

School engagement plays a vital role in supporting students’ academic achievement. This study investigates the contribution of grit to school engagement and examines the moderating role of teacher support in this relationship. Unlike previous studies that often explore internal and external factors in isolation, this study adopts a moderation model to analyze the interaction between grit and teacher support simultaneously. A total of 237 junior high school students (94 males, 143 females) from Islamic boarding schools in Malang, Indonesia, were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using standardized scales and analyzed using moderated regression analysis in JASP 18.3. The results indicate that grit significantly predicts school engagement (β = 0.433, p = .001). Moreover, teacher support significantly moderates this relationship, increasing the effect to β = 0.497 (p = .043). Gender-based analysis shows that male students demonstrate higher levels of school engagement than females. These findings suggest that school engagement can be strengthened by enhancing students’ grit and providing supportive teacher-student interactions. The study contributes to the literature by highlighting the joint influence of personal and contextual factors on student engagement and offers practical implications for fostering academic motivation in culturally unique educational settings.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between altruism and teacher performance in private secondary schools in Iganga District, Uganda—a context that remains underrepresented in existing literature. While previous research has explored altruism within corporate and public service sectors, limited attention has been paid to its role in non-profit educational environments, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. To address this contextual and content-related gap, a mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a cross-sectional survey design with both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Data were collected from 88 respondents, including head teachers and teachers with administrative responsibilities, using validated questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation, while qualitative insights were interpreted through content analysis. The results reveal a statistically significant and strong positive relationship (r = .644, p < .01) between altruism and teacher performance. Qualitative findings further illuminate how altruistic behaviors—such as empathy, collaboration, and voluntary support—contribute to sustained performance and institutional cohesion. The study offers a novel contribution by demonstrating how altruism functions as a critical behavioral factor in enhancing teacher effectiveness in resource-constrained school settings. These findings underscore the importance of cultivating altruistic values in school management practices and teacher development programs. Future research should explore comparative analyses between school types and examine institutional support mechanisms that sustain altruism.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze grit differentiation based on marital status among English teachers in madrasahs. A mixed-method approach was used, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection. The study identified three forms of grit differences among English language teachers: teaching spirit, persistence in work, and consistency of interest in the teaching profession. These differences appear to be influenced by marital status. Married teachers tend to have higher grit levels compared to their unmarried counterparts. This difference can be attributed to the role of a supportive partner, who provides a vital support system within the family, enhancing mental resilience through emotional, social, and economic support. Married teachers are also more likely to have a long-term commitment to their profession, contrasting with unmarried teachers, who may often exhibit less stability in their motivation.
