Abstract

This study examines the implementation of coding and artificial intelligence (AI) in the curriculum at SD ICT (Sekolah Dasar Information and Communication Technology)  Zainal Abidin, an elementary school in Indonesia. With the growing demand for digital literacy and technology-based competencies in the 21st century, this research aims to explore how coding and AI are integrated into the curriculum, the opportunities they offer for enhancing students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and the challenges encountered during implementation. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 5 teachers and 2 school administrators, classroom observations, and analysis of curriculum documents. The interviews focused on participants' perspectives regarding the integration process, benefits, and challenges of teaching coding and AI. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes related to the integration of these subjects. The findings suggest that integrating coding and AI into the curriculum provides valuable opportunities for students to develop computational thinking, creativity, and a deeper understanding of technology. However, the research also identifies several challenges, including insufficient teacher training, limited infrastructure, and alignment issues with the national educational framework. The study highlights the importance of professional development for teachers, better resource allocation, and curriculum adjustments to ensure the sustainable integration of coding and AI in primary education. Recommendations are made for educators and policymakers to enhance the effectiveness of this integration to prepare students for a digital future better.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of madrasah head leadership on teacher performance and its implications on the quality of learning in Private Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, Jalaksana District, Kuningan Regency. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. Data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire to 92 selected teachers using the proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Data analysis used simple linear regression and multiple regression with the help of SPSS, as well as classical assumption tests to ensure the feasibility of the research model. The results of the study show that the leadership of madrasah heads has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, as well as a significant effect on the quality of learning. In addition, teacher performance has been proven to play a role as a partial mediation variable in strengthening the influence of madrasah head leadership on learning quality. The value of the determination coefficient (R²) of 0.682 shows that 68.2% of the variation in learning quality can be explained by the leadership of the madrasah head and the teacher's performance. These findings confirm that improving the quality of learning cannot be separated from the strategic leadership role of madrasah heads who work through improving teacher performance. Conceptually, educational leadership serves as a transformational factor in building an effective learning ecosystem. The implications of this study show the importance of strengthening the leadership of madrasah heads based on managerial and Islamic education values to improve the quality of basic education in a sustainable manner.
