Abstract

Bureaucratic simplification represents a strategic government effort to enhance organizational effectiveness and public service quality. This study analyzes the influence of bureaucratic simplification policy implementation on public service quality at the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Agency (DPMPTSP) of Lampung Province, Indonesia. Using a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 150 service recipients selected through random sampling. Policy implementation was measured through Mazmanian and Sabatier’s (1983) framework (tractability of problems, ability of statute to structure implementation, and nonstatutory variables), while service quality was measured using the five-dimensional SERVQUAL model (tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy). Due to non-normal distribution of independent variables, Spearman Rank Correlation was employed. Results indicate that all three implementation dimensions significantly and positively influence service quality: tractability of problems (r = 0.329, p < 0.01), ability of statute to structure implementation (r = 0.418, p < 0.01), and nonstatutory variables (r = 0.396, p < 0.01), with total implementation showing r = 0.417 (p < 0.01). The regulatory framework dimension emerged as the strongest determinant of service quality improvement. The study contributes to bureaucratic reform literature by empirically testing the Mazmanian-Sabatier framework in a regional one-stop service context. Limitations include cross-sectional design and single-agency focus. Findings suggest that strengthening regulatory clarity and coordination mechanisms should be prioritized in bureaucratic simplification efforts.

Abstract

This study aims to determine and analyze the influence of academic supervision and principal’s leadership style on teacher professionalism in state vocational high schools throughout Ogan Ilir Regency, Indonesia, both partially and simultaneously. Employing a quantitative approach with a correlational design, the sample consisted of 101 teachers selected from the target population. Data were collected through questionnaires and documentation, then analyzed using the SPSS program. The results conclude three main findings: first, academic supervision has a significant influence on teacher professionalism; second, principal’s leadership style also significantly influences teacher professionalism; and third, academic supervision and principal’s leadership style together exert a significant combined influence on teacher professionalism. The study concludes that enhancing teacher professionalism in vocational high schools requires strengthening both academic supervision practices and principal leadership styles concurrently. The novelty lies in examining the combined effects of these two variables specifically within the context of state vocational high schools in Ogan Ilir Regency, an under-researched setting in Indonesian vocational education literature. Practically, the findings suggest that school principals should balance structured academic supervision with adaptive leadership styles tailored to vocational education demands, while policymakers should integrate both elements into principal training programs and teacher professional development initiatives. This study contributes to educational management literature by providing empirical evidence that academic supervision and leadership style function as complementary rather than competing factors in fostering teacher professionalism, particularly within vocational secondary education contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the structure, narrative context, and function of healing mantras in Biaro Baru Village, Karang Dapo District, North Musi Rawas Regency, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation from five informants (traditional healers/shamans) who actively use mantras in healing practices. Five healing mantras were recorded, transcribed, translated, and analyzed. The analysis focused on linguistic structure (using frameworks of oral literature analysis), narrative context (using Dell Hymes’ SPEAKING model), and social-cultural function. Results reveal that the healing mantras exhibit four structural elements: (1) rhyme (end-rhyme and initial-rhyme patterns); (2) rhythm (repetitive syllabic patterns creating a hypnotic quality); (3) repetition (of words, phrases, and sounds for emphasis and magical effect); and (4) distinctive diction (archaic words, code-switching between Musi Malay and Arabic). The narrative context is governed by strict norms regarding setting (typically at the patient’s home or specific ritual sites), timing (often at night or specific hours), participants (healer, patient, sometimes family members), and ritual preparations (offerings, water, specific objects). The mantras serve multiple complementary functions: magical-religious (invoking divine power for healing), therapeutic (providing psychological comfort to patients), social (reinforcing the healer’s role and community bonds), and cultural (preserving and transmitting local wisdom). This study contributes to the documentation of endangered oral traditions in Indonesia and provides a model for analyzing similar oral literature forms.

Abstract

This study examines the realization of language politeness in daily conversations using Javanese Krama Inggil in Gunung Terang Village, Madang Suku I District, East OKU Regency, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through observation, recording, and note-taking from 27 native Javanese speakers who actively use Krama Inggil in daily interactions. The analysis employed Geoffrey Leech's six politeness maxims: tact, generosity (acceptance), praise, humility, agreement, and sympathy. Of 27 utterances analyzed, 24 (88.9%) adhered to politeness principles, while 3 (11.1%) violated them. The maxim of praise was most frequently observed (6 utterances), followed by the maxim of tact (6 utterances), maxim of generosity (5 utterances), maxim of sympathy (3 utterances), maxim of agreement (2 utterances), and maxim of humility (2 utterances). Violations occurred in the maxims of generosity, praise, humility, and sympathy. The findings indicate that the Gunung Terang community maintains a relatively high level of politeness in Javanese Krama Inggil usage, though generational and social factors contribute to occasional violations. This study contributes to the documentation of Javanese politeness practices in transmigration communities outside Java, an under-researched context. The findings have implications for language preservation efforts and intercultural communication studies.

Abstract

This study examines the principal’s managerial functions planning, implementation, and evaluation in adapting the Operational Curriculum of Educational Units (KOSP) within the Merdeka Curriculum at SDN 3 Karang Agung Ilir, an elementary school located in a tidal-water area of South Sumatra, Indonesia. Using a qualitative single holistic case study design under an interpretive naturalistic paradigm, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with nine informants (principal, teachers, committee members, supervisor, parents), and document analysis. The interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña guided data analysis. Findings reveal that while the principal fulfilled formal managerial roles in drafting KOSP documents, mobilizing teachers, and conducting supervision, the planning remained generic and insufficiently contextualized to tidal-area challenges. Implementation largely mirrored the 2013 Curriculum, with minimal integration of local environmental and socio-economic realities. Evaluation focused on administrative compliance rather than curriculum effectiveness or data-driven improvement. These findings indicate that the flexibility of the Merdeka Curriculum remains underutilized in extreme geographic contexts. This study contributes an empirical model of “guided imitation” and a procedural-but-immature evaluation system, extending curriculum management theory to tidal-water schools. Implications suggest the need for context-sensitive KOSP indicators, structured in-house training, and participatory evaluation involving fishing communities.

Abstract

Food security has become a strategic issue closely linked to national security in many countries, including Indonesia. The dependence of the agricultural sector on imported chemical fertilizers exposes Indonesia to global supply chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and fluctuations in international commodity prices. This study aims to develop a governance model for organic fertilizer self-reliance based on the circular economy concept to strengthen food security as a pillar of national security. Using a qualitative approach through literature review and policy analysis, this article examines the relationship between circular economy principles, organic fertilizer production, food security, and national security. The findings indicate that organic fertilizer self-reliance contributes significantly to sustainable agricultural production, environmental resilience, economic independence, and social stability. The circular economy approach enables the conversion of agricultural, livestock, and household organic waste into valuable agricultural inputs, reducing dependence on external resources while enhancing soil fertility and ecosystem sustainability. Furthermore, effective governance involving government institutions, local communities, private sectors, and research organizations is essential for achieving sustainable fertilizer independence. The study proposes an integrated governance model that combines circular economy principles, food sovereignty, and national resilience. The model can serve as a policy framework for strengthening Indonesia’s food system resilience amid increasing global uncertainties.

Abstract

This quantitative study examines the influence of school culture and principal managerial competence on elementary school teacher performance in Karang Agung Ilir District, Banyuasin Regency, Indonesia—a remote area with significant geographic and infrastructural constraints. Using an explanatory correlational design, data were collected from 79 public elementary school teachers selected through proportional random sampling. Validated and reliable Likert-scale questionnaires were employed. Data were analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression. Findings reveal that school culture has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance (β = 0.967, t = 21.512, p < 0.001), contributing 85.7% (R² = 0.857). Principal managerial competence also demonstrates a positive and significant effect (β = 0.955, t = 21.239, p < 0.001), contributing 85.4% (R² = 0.854). Simultaneously, both variables significantly predict teacher performance (F = 294.892, p < 0.001), with a combined contribution of 88.6% (R² = 0.886). These results indicate that in resource-limited, geographically isolated schools, a conducive school culture and effective principal managerial competence are critical determinants of teacher performance. The study contributes empirical evidence from an understudied remote elementary school context, extending organizational culture and educational leadership theories. Practically, it recommends targeted professional development for principals in managerial functions and intentional cultivation of collaborative school culture to enhance teacher performance in similar marginalized settings.

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in improving geometry learning outcomes at the primary education level in Indonesia. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted across Google Scholar, Sinta, and Garuda databases for articles published between 2020 and 2025. Of 100 initially identified articles, 35 met the inclusion criteria and were subjected to descriptive qualitative analysis and meta-synthesis. The findings reveal that AR-based learning media significantly improve students’ geometry learning outcomes, with N-Gain scores ranging from 0.40 to 0.87 (moderate to high categories). AR enhances learning by visualizing abstract geometric concepts as interactive 3D models, increasing student motivation (from 39.67% to 92.67%), and facilitating spatial understanding. Key challenges include infrastructure limitations, teacher readiness, technological accessibility, and curriculum integration. The review identifies the ADDIE model as the most prevalent development framework and highlights the potential of integrating ethnomathematics with AR for culturally relevant learning. This study provides theoretical and practical foundations for AR integration in geometry teaching and recommends systematic teacher training, infrastructure improvement, and adaptive learning models for future implementation. Future research should employ longitudinal designs and expand participant contexts to strengthen empirical evidence.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of interpersonal communication and work discipline on teacher performance in Indonesian state elementary schools. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 70 teachers across four state elementary schools in Sako District, Palembang City, selected through simple random sampling from a population of 225 teachers. Questionnaires measuring interpersonal communication, work discipline, and teacher performance were administered, and data were analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and coefficient of determination (R²). The findings reveal that: (1) interpersonal communication positively and significantly influences teacher performance (t-value > t-table, p < 0.05); (2) work discipline positively and significantly influences teacher performance (t-value > t-table, p < 0.05); and (3) interpersonal communication and work discipline jointly account for 65% of the variance in teacher performance (R² = 0.65, F-value > F-table, p < 0.05). These results indicate that improving both interpersonal communication skills and work discipline among teachers can significantly enhance their professional performance. The study contributes empirical evidence on teacher performance determinants in the Indonesian elementary education context and offers practical implications for school principals, policymakers, and teacher professional development programs seeking to improve educational quality through targeted human resource management strategies.

Abstract

Teacher performance is fundamental to school quality, yet the relative influence of job demands versus organizational resources remains underexplored in Indonesian secondary education. This study examines the effects of workload and work environment on teacher performance at SMA Negeri 1 Sungai Lilin, Indonesia. Using a descriptive quantitative survey design, data were collected from 50 teachers via a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through multiple linear regression using SPSS 25. Simple regression analyses revealed that workload negatively affects performance (B = -0.236, p = 0.016, R² = 0.116), while work environment positively affects performance (B = 0.616, p < 0.001, R² = 0.451). However, in the multiple regression model, workload became non-significant (B = -0.099, p = 0.207), whereas work environment remained a strong predictor (B = 0.575, p < 0.001). The simultaneous model explains 46.9% of performance variance (F = 20.795, p < 0.001). These findings demonstrate that the work environment is the dominant organizational factor explaining teacher performance when tested alongside workload. The study contributes to educational management literature by clarifying the relative roles of job demands and organizational resources, suggesting that school improvement efforts should prioritize strengthening physical and psychosocial work conditions alongside workload management.
