Abstract

Large universities often struggle to convert visionary leadership into tangible institutional achievement, particularly when bureaucratic inertia and a heterogeneous lecturer population fragment a shared sense of purpose. This study examines the mediating role of lecturers' organizational commitment in linking visionary leadership to the acceleration of higher education vision achievement. An explanatory quantitative approach was employed, drawing on a sample of 335 permanent lecturers at a large private university selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4, evaluating both the measurement and structural models through a bootstrapping procedure. The findings reveal that visionary leadership influences vision achievement directly (0.350) and, more strongly, by shaping organizational commitment (0.493), which in turn drives vision achievement (0.220). The significant indirect effect (0.108; t = 3.724) confirms partial mediation, and the model explains 51.2 percent of the variance in vision achievement. The implication for transformational education and learning is that committed lecturers are the carriers of educational change, translating institutional vision into classroom practice. Strengthening leadership and lecturer commitment together therefore offers a sustainable pathway toward durable, learning-centered transformation in higher education.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum envisions IPAS as an active, inquiry-based subject, yet lecture-dominated instruction in Indonesian elementary schools continues to produce passive learning and low student activeness. This study examined the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by Quizizz on the learning activeness of third-grade elementary students in the IPAS topic of changes in the state of matter. A quasi-experimental nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design was employed with 52 third-grade students at SDN 088 Panyabungan, divided through total sampling into an experimental class (n = 26) and a control class (n = 26). Data on five activeness dimensions were collected through validated observation checklists and questionnaires and analyzed using an independent samples t-test. A statistically significant difference in learning activeness emerged between the groups (p < 0.05), with the experimental class achieving a medium normalized gain (N-Gain = 0.57) against a low gain (N-Gain = 0.24) in the control class, and the largest improvements appearing in the oral and emotional dimensions. The integration of PBL with Quizizz serves as a catalyst for transformational education, effectively shifting the pedagogical paradigm from passive knowledge consumption to the active construction of meaning while fostering the holistic learner agency essential to the Profil Pelajar Pancasila framework.

Abstract

The principal, as an educational leader, holds a decisive role in developing the quality of teachers and, through them, the quality of learning. This study aims to analyze the principal's strategy in strengthening the pedagogic and professional competence of elementary school teachers. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed, with the researcher serving as the key instrument. Informants were determined through purposive sampling and comprised the principal, the vice principal, and selected teachers, while data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The credibility of the findings was secured through triangulation of the three data sources. The results show that the principal strengthened teachers' competence not through any single programmed but through three interlocking strategies: continuous training and professional forums, regular academic supervision and coaching, and the provision of technology-based facilities. These strategies functioned as a coordinated system in which each reinforced the others. The findings imply that, viewed through the lens of transformational education and learning, school leadership develops teachers most effectively when it moves beyond transmitting discrete skills toward reshaping their pedagogical perspectives and cultivating a sustained disposition for professional self-renewal.

Abstract

Educational supervision is a decisive instrument for translating national standards into classroom practice, yet its effectiveness depends on supervisory competence that is distributed unevenly across Indonesia, most acutely in the eastern region where geographical isolation and infrastructural inequality constrain developmental practice. Existing scholarship, concentrated in better-resourced western contexts and oriented toward normative competency standards, has described the eastern competency gap in fragments without reconstructing it into a coherent account that connects pattern, condition, and concept. This study aims to reconstruct the recurring pattern of supervisory competence in Eastern Indonesia, to trace the structural and ecological conditions that produce it, and to advance a conceptual interpretation of that pattern. Employing library research within a qualitative-interpretive paradigm, the study identified sources through Scopus using a PRISMA-guided selection and analysed the corpus through thematic analysis. The synthesis reveals that supervisory competence in the region is not uniformly low but unevenly developed, with relational and social capacities relatively intact while evaluative and research capacities remain underdeveloped, a configuration named the popular supervisor paradox in which high social legitimacy coexists with low technical capacity. Read ecologically, this deficit is structurally produced rather than individually owned. The study implies that transformative education and learning in disadvantaged regions depend less on monitoring supervisors than on converting their trusted social capital into analytic capability through adaptive, context-sensitive strengthening, thereby relocating the lever of educational transformation from inspection toward developmental, evidence-based supervisory practice.

Abstract

The management of Islamic education remains divided between the rational instruments of modern administration and the moral and spiritual commitments that define its purpose, leaving the field without a unified model in which managerial technique is governed by Islamic values. This study examines the concept of Mindhunnur, developed by Qomar, which proposes a synthesis of modern managerial rationality and Islamic moral foundations, yet has not been systematically analyzed or positioned within the wider scholarship on Islamic education management and the integration of knowledge. The objective of the study is to reconstruct the philosophical foundation of Mindhunnur, to examine its expression across the principal typologies of Islamic educational institution, and to specify the level at which it integrates managerial and Islamic knowledge. Employing a qualitative library research design adapted to a PRISMA-guided selection of Scopus-indexed sources, the study analyses the primary articulation of Mindhunnur against a contemporary corpus through content analysis and descriptive-analytical interpretation. The findings establish that Mindhunnur rests on a coherent foundation integrated at the axiological rather than the epistemological core, that its realization depends on the structural position of embodied moral leadership, and that this leadership, rather than administrative reform, is the decisive carrier of character formation. The implication is that Mindhunnur offers a framework for transformative education and learning, in which character formation becomes a structural achievement of moral leadership and a foundation for genuinely transformative institutional change.

Abstract

The rapid entry of generative artificial intelligence into Islamic education raises a question that is epistemological before it is technical. As students increasingly turn to algorithmic systems to interpret texts and compose arguments, the authority over knowledge that has traditionally passed through morally formed scholars begins to shift toward systems that possess neither intention nor moral standing. This study reconstructs the epistemological relationship between artificial intelligence and the classical Islamic system of knowledge, and specifies a post-human pedagogical framework that integrates the human, the technological, and the theological without collapsing the hierarchy among them. Employing library research and conceptual analysis, the study draws its corpus through a PRISMA-guided search of Scopus and examines it through qualitative content analysis, reading the wider literature against the foundational work of al-Attas. The analysis reconstructs AI as an epistemic mediator rather than a neutral instrument, traces the structural tension between computational and revelatory logics, and shows how this tension is expressed differently across pesantren, madrasah, and Islamic higher education. The resulting framework subordinate’s algorithmic mediation to a descending hierarchy anchored in wahy (divine revelation), granting AI genuine epistemic participation while denying it epistemic authority, and culminating in the formation of adab (moral and intellectual virtue). The study contributes a constructive framework where existing scholarship has largely offered diagnosis, and extends transformative learning theory toward a post-human account. As a conceptual proposition, the framework awaits empirical testing in classrooms.

Abstract

Cognitive ability alone does not determine success in learning English as a foreign language, since psychological factors strongly influence how students engage and perform. Research that examines these factors together within vocational education remains scarce. This study investigates intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and learning anxiety as predictors of EFL learning achievement among vocational high school students. A quantitative ex post facto design was applied to 137 students of SMKS Praja Pandawa Bangli, selected through total sampling. Data on the three predictors were collected using validated questionnaires, while achievement data were drawn from documented English scores. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The results show that intrinsic motivation has a positive and significant effect on EFL learning achievement, whereas learning anxiety has a negative and significant effect. Extrinsic motivation, by contrast, shows no significant independent effect. Together, the three predictors account for 24.9 percent of the variance in student achievement. These findings indicate that internal psychological conditions matter more than external incentives in shaping language learning outcomes. From the perspective of transformational education and learning, the study suggests that meaningful change in EFL learning grows not from external pressure but from instruction that strengthens intrinsic motivation and dismantles emotional barriers, enabling students to move from passive compliance toward authentic and self-sustaining engagement with the language.

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals have placed education at the center of global efforts to build a more equitable and sustainable world, yet much of the discourse still treats sustainability as a cognitive and policy matter, leaving its moral and spiritual foundations underdeveloped. Within this gap, Islamic Religious Education holds considerable but insufficiently theorized potential, since existing studies tend to affirm the correspondence between Islamic values and sustainability without explaining how it becomes educationally consequential. This study aims to reconstruct how Integrative Islamic Religious Education can serve as a strategic framework for embedding sustainability values within character education. Employing a qualitative library research design through a systematic library review, it analyzes peer-reviewed scholarship published between 2015 and 2025 using thematic content analysis. The findings show that integration operates not by adding new content but through value internalization, curriculum contextualization, and experiential learning, in which principles such as ‘adl (justice), amanah (responsibility), rahmah (compassion), and khalifah fil ardh (stewardship of the earth) are aligned with sustainability as shared moral commitments rather than imposed secular targets. The analysis locates integration at the axiological rather than the epistemological level and identifies pedagogy as the decisive mechanism that translates values into sustainable character. The principal implication concerns transformational education and learning, since the study frames Islamic ethical values as interpretive frames through which learners are reoriented toward sustainability at the level of disposition and worldview, offering a religiously grounded model of transformational pedagogy that now awaits empirical testing.

Abstract

Character education in madrasahs frequently remains ceremonial, leaving a persistent gap between the regular delivery of religious activities and their internalisation in students' daily conduct. This study examines the implementation of the Gerakan Amal Sholeh (GAS, or Righteous Deeds Movement) at MTsN 2 Deli Serdang, with the aim of understanding how the program is organised, how it contributes to the formation of students' Islamic character, and what factors support and hinder its implementation. Employing a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving the principal, the vice principal for curriculum, teachers, the student organisation chairperson, and students, and were analysed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman with source and methodological triangulation. The findings reveal that the program operates as an integrated system in which transparent habituation of infaq, teacher role modelling (uswah hasanah), and the genuine delegation of responsibility move students gradually from external compliance toward the internalisation of sincerity, trustworthiness, social awareness, and discipline, with charitable habits extending beyond the madrasah into the home. Its principal implication lies in reconceptualising charitable habituation as a form of transformational education and learning, in which routine moral practice becomes the mechanism for a durable transformation of disposition, motivation, and moral agency, offering educators a replicable model for cultivating Islamic character through transparently designed and authentically modelled philanthropic practice.

Abstract

The transition from higher education to employment remains difficult in Indonesia, where persistent educated unemployment signals that academic credentials alone no longer guarantee work readiness, and where the psychological and social resources that shape this readiness are still examined separately rather than together. This study aims to analyze the influence of psychological capital and social support on the work readiness of final-year students in Medan, both partially and simultaneously. Employing a quantitative explanatory design, data were collected through a cross-sectional survey of 120 students selected by purposive sampling and analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics. The results show that psychological capital and social support simultaneously exert a positive and significant effect on work readiness (F = 529.857; p < 0.001), with psychological capital the dominant predictor (β = 0.750) compared to social support (β = 0.231). The implication is that transformational education and learning should deliberately cultivate students' internal psychological resources, positioning resilience and self-efficacy as engineered outcomes of institutional strategy rather than incidental byproducts.
