Abstract

This study examines the quality of the learning environment at SMP Negeri 2 Kolaka Utara by analyzing the interaction between structural, pedagogical, and socio-economic factors within a rural public secondary school context. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis involving the school principal, teachers, and parents, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that limitations in educational infrastructure, uneven development of teachers’ professional competencies, low parental engagement, and students’ socio-economic constraints jointly shape the learning environment and hinder its optimal development. Rather than functioning as isolated issues, these factors form an interconnected system that influences teaching effectiveness and student learning experiences. This study highlights that improvements in learning environment quality require an integrated, multi-stakeholder approach that aligns school management practices, teacher capacity development, and community participation. The novelty of this research lies in its holistic analytical framework, which moves beyond single-factor explanations by demonstrating how multiple dimensions simultaneously affect learning environments in rural secondary schools. The study contributes to educational management and school improvement literature by providing empirical insights that support context-responsive and sustainable strategies for enhancing learning environments in under-resourced educational settings.

Abstract

Improving educational quality requires systematic learning innovation, teacher empowerment, and effective leadership at the school level. This study examines the role of Driving Teachers (Guru Penggerak) in fostering educational transformation through learning leadership, professional collaboration, and community engagement in North Kolaka, Indonesia. Employing a descriptive qualitative design with a phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with key participants involved in the Driving Teacher program. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify core themes reflecting participants’ lived experiences and perceptions. The findings reveal that Driving Teachers play a strategic role in shaping the Pancasila Student Profile through four key dimensions: learning leadership, self-development, student-centered learning, and instructional innovation. These roles are reflected in the development of students’ faith and piety, noble character, global diversity awareness, mutual cooperation, independence, and critical and creative thinking. Additionally, Driving Teachers contribute to improving teacher competence, enhancing student learning outcomes, and cultivating a collaborative school culture involving parents and the wider community.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze teacher readiness in implementing the Independent Curriculum in elementary schools, as well as provide recommendations for improving learning practices and educational policies. Using a qualitative method with a multi-case study approach at SDN 6 and SDN 7 Kodeoha, data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The results show that teachers have understood the basic concepts of the Independent Curriculum, but still experience challenges in its implementation, such as gaps in student abilities, limited teaching materials, and resistance to new learning methods. Limited technological infrastructure and low parental involvement are also obstacles. This study recommends practice-based training for teachers, improving learning facilities, and strengthening communication between schools and parents. These findings are expected to be the basis for developing a more effective implementation strategy for the Independent Curriculum at the elementary school level .

Abstract

This study is motivated by indications of low work discipline and work spirit among employees of the Tourism Office of North Kolaka Regency, as reflected in late attendance, absenteeism, and frequent leave submissions. Such conditions potentially affect employee performance and the overall achievement of organizational work programs. Leadership therefore plays a crucial role in shaping employee behavior, performance, and organizational work culture. This research aims to identify the leadership style applied by the Head of the Tourism Office in managing the tourism sector, to examine its influence on employee performance and work program achievement, and to analyze its impact on organizational work culture. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach using an inductive method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings reveal that the Head of the Tourism Office applies a character-based leadership style, characterized by exemplary behavior, discipline enforcement, continuous evaluation, and direct guidance to employees. This leadership style positively influences employee performance, supports the successful implementation of work programs, and fosters a more disciplined and responsible work culture within the organization. The study concludes that character leadership is an effective leadership approach in improving employee performance and organizational effectiveness in the public sector.

Abstract

Mathematics learning outcomes in Indonesian junior high schools, particularly in rural areas such as Pakue Tengah District, North Kolaka, remain below expectations. Many students fail to reach the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM), indicating the need to examine classroom-level factors that may influence achievement. This study aims to analyze the relationship between classroom management and learning discipline with students’ mathematics learning outcomes. A survey method with a correlational approach was employed, involving a sample of 73 eighth-grade students selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires on classroom management and learning discipline, along with mathematics achievement tests, and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that classroom management has a positive and significant relationship with mathematics outcomes (r = 0.579; R² = 33.52%), while learning discipline also demonstrates a significant relationship (r = 0.533; R² = 28.41%). Together, both variables explain 55.95% of the variance in students’ mathematics achievement. These findings align with prior studies highlighting the importance of effective classroom management and discipline in enhancing student engagement and learning results. The study implies that teachers should strengthen classroom management strategies, promote learning discipline, and foster conducive environments. Academically, the research contributes by providing empirical evidence from a rural Indonesian context, while practically it offers recommendations for teacher training and school policy to improve mathematics achievement.

Abstract

Character education is a fundamental component of the educational system aimed at fostering individuals with integrity, ethical awareness, and a strong sense of responsibility. This study examines the synergy between teachers and parents in shaping students’ character at SMA Negeri 1 Porehu, while also identifying existing challenges and effective strategies for improvement. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving nine key informants, including the school principal, teachers, and parents. The findings reveal that teacher–parent synergy remains limited due to ineffective communication and low parental participation in school activities. Nevertheless, initiatives such as the internalization of positive values through the “Morning Habituation” program and the establishment of regular communication forums between the school and parents have proven to enhance the effectiveness of character development. Supporting factors include well-structured school programs and active parental involvement, whereas major obstacles consist of value discrepancies between home and school environments and negative social influences. This study recommends strengthening collaborative-based character education programs by actively engaging parents in both instructional and character-building processes to ensure consistent and sustainable character formation among students.
