Abstract

Although inclusive education has been widely promoted to ensure equal access for students with special needs, empirical studies examining the combined role of curriculum adaptation and parental support at the primary school level remain limited, particularly in rural contexts. This study aims to analyze the influence of curriculum changes and parental support on the effectiveness of inclusive education in primary schools in Sirah Pulau Padang Subdistrict. A quantitative survey design was employed involving teachers, principals, and parents. Data were collected using validated and reliable instruments and analyzed through multiple regression analysis. The findings demonstrate that curriculum changes significantly influence the effectiveness of inclusive education, parental support also has a significant effect, and both variables simultaneously contribute positively and significantly to inclusive education outcomes. The novelty of this study lies in integrating institutional (curriculum adaptation) and familial (parental support) factors within a single empirical model in a rural primary education setting. These findings provide practical implications for policymakers and school leaders in strengthening adaptive curriculum implementation and fostering collaborative partnerships with parents to enhance inclusive education effectiveness.

Abstract

While classroom management is often perceived as a disciplinary mechanism, its potential as a deliberate pedagogy for values internalization remains under-explored, particularly in non-Western educational contexts such as Indonesia. This study examines how classroom management practices implemented by Civic Education (PPKn) teachers function as a pedagogical instrument for fostering Pancasila character among senior high school students. Employing a qualitative instrumental case study design at SMA Negeri 9 Kota Bengkulu, data were gathered through 36 hours of systematic classroom observation across 24 lessons, three in-depth teacher interviews, two student focus group discussions, and document analysis of lesson plans, policy documents, and behavioral logs. Preliminary field data revealed that unexplained student absences averaged 7.6%, and democratic classroom practices remained inconsistently implemented indicating a persistent gap between national character education policy and classroom reality. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña with trustworthiness established through methodological triangulation and member checking. Findings reveal that teachers employ a tripartite framework planning, implementation, and evaluation through which Pancasila values are deliberately embedded in classroom structures and routines. During planning, teachers integrate character objectives into lesson design and collaboratively establish classroom norms. During implementation, role modeling, democratic facilitation, cooperative learning, and positive reinforcement create a participatory learning environment. Evaluation employs attitude rubrics, peer and self-assessment, and behavioral documentation to support continuous character growth. Together, these dimensions cultivate five Pancasila character outcomes: religiosity, nationalism, unity, deliberation, and social justice. The study reconceptualizes classroom management as a core pedagogical strategy for citizenship education in culturally specific contexts.

Abstract

Improving teacher performance in resource-constrained rural schools remains a critical challenge. While principal supervision and teacher discipline are acknowledged factors, their combined and relative impact in such contexts is poorly understood. Utilizing a census of all teachers (N=85) from three public junior high schools in Kedurang District, Indonesia, this study employed multiple regression analysis on survey data. Results indicated that teacher discipline (β = 0.712, p < .001) was a significant positive predictor of teaching performance. Academic supervision showed a positive but non-significant relationship (β = 0.027, p = .797). Together, both variables explained 56.2% of the variance in teaching performance (R² = 0.562, p < .001). Teacher discipline alone accounted for 56.2% of the variance, while academic supervision contributed 33.0% when examined individually. This study addresses the gap in understanding how supervisory practices and professional discipline operate in non-urban Indonesian junior high schools, revealing that teacher discipline is the dominant factor while supervision’s effect is context-dependent. The results suggest that school principals in rural settings should prioritize reinforcing teacher discipline while improving the quality and developmental orientation of academic supervision to maximize teaching performance. The study underscores the necessity of integrated leadership strategies that combine developmental supervision with fostering intrinsic professional discipline to enhance teaching quality in rural settings.

Abstract

Vocational teacher performance remains a critical determinant of educational quality, yet factors influencing this performance in regional Indonesian contexts remain underexplored. This study examines the influence of deep learning strategies and classroom climate on vocational teacher performance in public vocational high schools in North Bengkulu Regency, Indonesia. Using an ex post facto causal correlational design, data were collected from 122 vocational teachers through validated Likert-scale questionnaires. Simple and multiple linear regression analyses revealed that deep learning strategies significantly predict teacher performance (β = 0.412, p < 0.05), as does classroom climate (β = 0.587, p < 0.05), with classroom climate exhibiting a stronger influence. The combined model explained 68.3% of variance in teacher performance (R² = 0.683, F = 128.45, p < 0.001). Theoretical interpretation through Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) frameworks reveals that organizational resources (climate) provide foundational support enabling pedagogical innovation, while supportive climates fulfill teachers' basic psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness. This study contributes novel insights into vocational education in non-metropolitan Indonesian settings, highlighting that teacher performance emerges from synergistic interaction between pedagogical approaches and environmental conditions. The findings carry critical implications for educational policy in developing contexts: policymakers must prioritize establishing supportive organizational climates through professional learning communities, adequate resource allocation, and administrative support systems before mandating pedagogical reforms, as deep learning implementation without corresponding climate investment creates unsustainable demand-resource imbalances that undermine rather than enhance teacher effectiveness. This resource-first, pedagogy-second sequencing represents a fundamental departure from conventional deficit models and offers a replicable framework for improving vocational education quality in resource-constrained regions globally.

Abstract

While extensive scholarship addresses either fully manual or comprehensively digitalized school administration, transitional phases where both systems coexist remain critically underexplored. This qualitative single-case study examines how State Junior High School 03 of Central Bengkulu navigates digital transformation, revealing operational dynamics, efficiency implications, and strategic challenges inherent in hybrid administrative systems. Through interviews, document analysis, and observation with six administrative personnel, the investigation uncovers that digitalization remains confined to student affairs (Dapodik platform) and financial management (ARKAS system), whereas personnel administration, infrastructure management, and correspondence persist manually. This bifurcation creates duplication of effort, simultaneously enabling regulatory compliance while undermining operational efficiency. Four interconnected barriers emerged: intermittent internet connectivity, heterogeneous digital competencies, constrained budgets, and psychological resistance rooted in competence anxieties. These findings challenge linear stage models of technology adoption by demonstrating that hybrid systems in resource-constrained contexts function as semi-permanent organizational equilibria rather than temporary transitions. Theoretically, the study extends digital transformation scholarship by establishing hybridity as a distinct organizational form warranting its own analytical frameworks, not merely a developmental stage. Practically, findings inform context-sensitive implementation strategies for regional schools, emphasizing sequential roadmaps prioritizing high-impact domains, sustained competency development, and change management acknowledging staff apprehensions. This research contributes a reconceptualization of hybrid administration as potentially enduring rather than transitional, necessitating strategic management beyond linear digitalization assumptions.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine and analyze the partial and simultaneous influence of principal managerial competence and teacher performance on graduate quality in public junior high schools within Tebing Tinggi District. Employing a quantitative ex post facto approach, data were collected via questionnaires and documentation from a sample of 135 teachers. Analysis was conducted using the SPSS program. The analysis concluded that: (1) principal managerial competence significantly influences graduate quality; (2) teacher performance significantly influences graduate quality; and (3) both factors together have a significant simultaneous influence on graduate quality. This study provides empirical validation of a combined leadership-instructional framework, simultaneously testing the direct and collective impact of both administrative and pedagogical variables on educational outcomes in a specific regional context. Findings suggest that school improvement initiatives should integrate targeted leadership development for principals with continuous teacher performance enhancement programs to effectively elevate graduate standards. The research offers a validated model for stakeholders, emphasizing that synergistic improvement in school management and classroom instruction is critical for advancing educational quality.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the portrayal of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and Sigmund Freud’s tripartite personality structure within the characters of Valerie Patkar’s novel Luka Cita. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the research used documentation for data collection, with the novel as the primary source. Data were analyzed through content analysis to identify and interpret the relevant psychological constructs. The analysis confirms the presence of both theoretical frameworks. All five stages of Maslow’s needs physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization are gradually fulfilled by the characters. Simultaneously, the interaction of Freud’s id, ego, and superego structures forms the internal conflicts driving character development. The research provides a novel, dual-theory psycho-literary analysis of a contemporary Indonesian novel, concurrently applying Maslow’s humanistic and Freud’s psychodynamic theories to interpret character motivation and conflict. The study demonstrates a replicable framework for literary criticism, enabling educators and scholars to conduct structured psychological analyses of character development in narrative fiction. It contributes to cross-cultural literary psychology by validating the applicability of these foundational Western psychological theories to modern Indonesian literature, enriching the interpretation of its thematic depth and character complexity.

Abstract

This study aimed to enhance Grade X students’ observation report writing skills and learning activities at SMA Negeri 1 Tungkal Jaya by implementing Problem Based Learning (PBL). A Classroom Action Research (CAR) design was employed, conducted over two cycles, each comprising planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. Results demonstrated significant improvement. Students achieving the mastery score (≥70) increased from 37% (Cycle I) to 87% (Cycle II), representing a 38.89% skill enhancement. The class average rose from 75.60 to 85.00. Polite learning behaviors improved from 56% to 90%. All assessed aspects showed gains, with language and creativity exhibiting the highest increases. The study provides empirical, cycle-based evidence for applying PBL specifically to observation report writing, a foundational academic genre, within a local Indonesian high school context. Findings strongly support adopting PBL as an effective pedagogical strategy for improving both the product (writing skills) and process (classroom engagement) of learning in similar educational settings. The research contributes actionable insights to educational practice, validating PBL’s role in fostering active learning and significantly improving specific compositional competencies among secondary school students.

Abstract

This study aimed to understand how the community of Ulak Kapal Village maintains the cultural values embedded within the endangered kabayan marriage tradition amidst social change. A qualitative case study approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and analysis of community documents. The community preserves the tradition through intergenerational education, active community participation, and the strategic use of technology. Analysis revealed the tradition embodies five key literary anthropology values: language, systems of knowledge and communication, technology and equipment, livelihood systems, and art all retaining relevance in modern life. The research provides a contemporary analysis of a specific, lesser-documented marital tradition, uniquely applying the framework of literary anthropology to deconstruct its enduring cultural values and active preservation mechanisms. The findings offer a replicable model for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage, demonstrating how communities can synergize traditional education, social participation, and modern technology to sustain cultural practices. The study contributes to cultural preservation theory by documenting a living tradition and its adaptive strategies, offering valuable insights for anthropologists and policymakers focused on sustaining cultural diversity in evolving societies.
