Abstract

Background: Administrative performance in schools plays a crucial role in ensuring effective management and educational quality. However, teachers and principals often face challenges related to workload and administrative complexity. This study aims to analyze the perspectives of school operators (OpS) on the administrative performance of teachers and principals, the obstacles encountered in administrative tasks, and their recommendations to overcome these challenges. Previous studies have shown that administrative burdens can affect teaching quality and leadership effectiveness, yet limited research has explored these issues from the perspective of school operators in Indonesia. Methods: This quantitative study employed a survey approach involving 493 respondents representing various educational levels across Indonesia. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to identify patterns, trends, and relationships among variables related to administrative performance. Findings: The majority of respondents came from Java Island, with a predominance of elementary school participants. Teachers’ administrative performance was generally rated as good, although they encountered obstacles such as heavy workloads, insufficient facilities, and frequent policy changes. Principals also demonstrated good administrative performance, particularly in communication and staff coordination, yet faced challenges related to limited time and coordination barriers. School operators recommended training in administrative technology, time management, and administrative leadership for improvement. Conclusion: The study concludes that continuous training, improved facilities, and consistent administrative policies are essential to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of school administrative performance. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study contributes new insights by presenting the unique perspectives of school operators regarding the administrative performance of teachers and principals in Indonesia, emphasizing the need for policy and management reforms to support more efficient school administration.

Abstract

 Background:  Sexual harassment is one of the negative acts that has a big impact on the victims. Not only women but men today can also become victims of sexual harassment. Even the perpetrators of sexual harassment are women. This research aims to analyze the phenomenon of sexual harassment in men. The research problem focuses on the victimization of men through sexual harassment. As well as finding out the extent of society's understanding regarding gender and sexuality literacy. Methods: This study uses a qualitative research design with an ethnographic approach to describe the life experiences of eight deliberately selected informants. Primary data obtained through purposive sampling is integrated with a critical review of relevant literature to place male victimization in the broader context of sociocultural and digital structures. Finding: The findings indicate that society still demonstrates a low level of understanding regarding gender and sexuality. This lack of awareness contributes to the normalization and trivialization of sexual harassment against men, causing many male victims to remain silent due to fear of stigma, disbelief, or ridicule. Such attitudes reflect deeply embedded patriarchal norms that hinder open discussions about men’s vulnerability and reinforce gender stereotypes that portray men as invulnerable. Conclusion: This study concludes that sexual harassment against men in cyberspace tends to be normalized and ignored due to the strong influence of patriarchal masculinity norms that demand men to always appear dominant. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers originality through its in-depth exploration of male victimization in sexual harassment a topic that remains underrepresented in academic discourse. By examining the social ignorance and gender bias that silence male victims, this research challenges dominant gender narratives and reveals critical gaps in public understanding of gender, sexuality, and patriarchal masculinity within both offline and digital spaces.

Abstract

Background: This paper aims to analyze teachers’ readiness in implementing digital literacy and identify the policy gaps affecting technology integration in language classrooms within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum. Methods: This study uses the systematic literature review (SLR) method to analyze research and policy documents published between 2020 and 2025. Data were collected from the Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases using keywords such as ‘digital literacy’, ‘EFL teachers’, and ‘Merdeka Curriculum’. The collected data were analyzed using a six-stage thematic analysis to identify patterns, challenges, and policy implications related to teacher readiness and technology integration. Findings: The findings showed that although most teachers have comprehensive understanding of the Merdeka Curriculum concepts, there is a significant gaps between teachers’ understanding and the real classroom practices. The main factor is limitations on teachers’ training, infrastructure, and resource disparities between urban and rural areas. Furthermore, the national education policy is partially responsive to the actual condition on-the-ground. Conclusion: This study concludes that digital literacy is a fundamental competency, not merely an additional skill, for the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. Although teachers' theoretical understanding is relatively high, there is a significant gap in classroom practice due to infrastructure disparities and training needs that are more focused on pedagogy. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study contributes to the understanding of how digital literacy can serve as a bridge between national education reform and classroom practice. It also highlights the urgent need for continuous professional training and context-based digital education policy to ensure equitable and sustainable implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum across Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Discussions about the global education paradigm are synonymous with freedom of competition and accountability. This contrasts with the Indonesian education paradigm, which focuses on the concept of harmony between intellectual and moral development. To achieve a balance between the two paradigms, Indonesia’s Merdeka Belajar–Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) reform was launched to promote autonomy, creativity, and innovation in higher education. Yet, beneath its emancipatory discourse, MBKM remains anchored in a human-capital paradigm that measures success through employability rather than moral, ecological, and epistemic reflection. This imbalance reflects a broader crisis in modern education, where freedom is equated with market adaptability instead of ethical responsibility. Methods: This study employs a qualitative conceptual approach, combining critical discourse analysis of MBKM policy documents with theoretical synthesis across decolonial, ecological, and educational thought. The analysis proceeds through three interpretive stages—policy examination, literature synthesis, and theoretical engagement—to uncover the epistemological foundations and "regimes of truth" that govern the current reform. Findings: Three epistemic challenges are identified: epistemic reduction—the confinement of knowledge to technical and measurable forms; moral and ecological detachment—the separation of learning from ethical and environmental consciousness; and managerial autonomy—a paradoxical freedom constrained by neoliberal metrics. These tendencies perpetuate dependency on Western epistemic norms while marginalizing Indonesia’s moral–cultural heritage rooted in budi pekerti and pendidikan merdeka. Conclusion: To transcend this industrial-epistemic paradigm, Indonesian universities must pursue epistemic sustainability—the capacity to sustain and regenerate plural ways of knowing (scientific, local, ethical, and spiritual) in balance. This paradigm repositions education as a moral and civic practice, aligning freedom (merdeka) with responsibility and care. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study introduces epistemic sustainability as an integrative framework linking decolonial, ecological and educational thought, offering a pathway to operationalize the ecology of knowledge within Indonesia’s educational reform.

Abstract

Background: Teacher performance is a vital element in achieving educational quality, particularly within Islamic-based schools located in rural areas. The role of the principal's management is believed to be a strategic factor influencing the effectiveness of teacher performance; however, it has not been extensively examined quantitatively in the context of Islamic elementary schools in rural settings. Methods: This study employed a quantitative associative approach using a field survey method involving 23 teachers at MI Ma’arif NU 01 Dawuhan Wetan. Data collection techniques included observation, documentation, and questionnaires that were validated and tested for reliability. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression with SPSS to determine the significant influence of the principal's management (variable X) on teacher performance (variable Y). Findings: The analysis revealed that the principal's management has a positive and significant influence on teacher performance, with an R² value of 0.810, indicating that the principal's management can explain 81% of the variation in teacher performance. The significance value (Sig.) of 0.000 and the t-value of 9.452, which is greater than the t-table value (1.724), further support this conclusion. Conclusion: The principal’s management has been proven to be a determining factor in improving teacher performance at MI Ma’arif NU 01 Dawuhan Wetan. The quality of planning, supervision, and leadership directly contributes to enhancing teachers' professionalism, responsibility, and productivity. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides empirical contributions to the field of Islamic education management by presenting quantitative evidence on the importance of school leadership in the context of madrasahs in rural areas. The findings may serve as a reference for developing management-based policies to improve the quality of education in Islamic elementary schools and similar institutions.

Abstract

Background: Elementary school is a crucial stage for students’ cognitive, social, emotional, and moral development, as these domains form the foundation for lifelong learning and character formation. Understanding students’ developmental characteristics is essential for designing learning environments that support holistic growth. This study aims to identify the developmental characteristics of fourth-grade students at SDN 1 Suwawa Selatan and analyze how the school environment facilitates their overall development. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with the fourth-grade homeroom teacher, and documentation of students’ academic and non-academic activities during the 2025 academic year. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to identify patterns related to students’ developmental characteristics and supporting educational practices. Findings: The findings show that fourth-grade students demonstrate considerable progress in logical thinking, problem-solving, and language skills, consistent with the concrete operational stage of development. Social development is reflected in improved collaboration, communication, and participation in group activities, although some students still require support in emotional regulation and conflict resolution. Emotional development is characterized by increased self-confidence and responsibility toward learning tasks, while moral development is evident through compliance with school rules, respect for teachers, and active involvement in character education programs. Furthermore, teacher-centered and student-centered learning strategies, a positive classroom climate, interactive learning activities, cooperative learning models, contextual teaching approaches, and parental involvement significantly contribute to students’ holistic development. Conclusion: Fourth-grade students at SDN 1 Suwawa Selatan exhibit balanced development across cognitive, social, emotional, and moral domains. Sustained collaboration among teachers, parents, and school administrators is essential to provide a supportive learning environment that promotes optimal academic achievement and socio-emotional development. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides an integrated qualitative analysis of elementary students’ cognitive, social, emotional, and moral development within a single educational setting while highlighting the combined influence of instructional strategies, classroom climate, and parental involvement on students’ holistic development.

Abstract

Background: The role of educators is crucial in determining the success of the educational process in schools. The quality of learning delivered by teachers is directly influenced by their level of work motivation. One of the important factors affecting work motivation is organizational culture. A strong and positive organizational culture is believed to create a conducive working environment, encourage collaboration, and provide teachers with a sense of security and appreciation. However, in practice, many educators still experience demotivation due to unsupportive work cultures, such as poor communication, lack of appreciation, and excessive administrative demands. This study aims to examine the influence of organizational culture on teachers' work motivation at SMP Negeri 1 Banyumas. Methods: A quantitative approach using a survey method was employed, involving a total sampling of all 30 teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Banyumas as respondents. Data were collected through closed-ended questionnaires, and data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression to examine the relationship between organizational culture and work motivation variables. Findings: The results showed that organizational culture had a significant influence on teachers' work motivation. This was indicated by a correlation coefficient (R) value of 0.900 and a coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.810, meaning that 81% of the variation in work motivation could be explained by organizational culture. These findings support the organizational culture theory proposed by Edgar H. Schein, which states that values, norms, and habits within an organization deeply shape members' behavior and work spirit. Conclusion: This study is expected to provide valuable input for school management in formulating policies to strengthen organizational culture in order to improve motivation, performance, and the quality of learning sustainably. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in the application of the organizational culture model as a predictor of teachers' work motivation in the context of a public junior high school, which has rarely been explored in previous empirical studies.

Abstract

Background: Integrating environmental awareness into English Language Teaching (ELT) has become increasingly important as a response to global sustainability challenges and the need to cultivate environmentally responsible learners through language education. Methods: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using an integrative literature review of secondary data derived from internationally indexed scientific publications, national journal articles, and relevant policy documents. The analysis was conducted through source selection, thematic categorization focusing on challenges, strategies, and future prospects, and cross-literature integration. Findings: The results reveal several barriers to integrating environmental awareness into ELT, including limited environmental literacy among teachers, insufficient eco-pedagogical training, and curricula that remain predominantly language-oriented. However, innovative approaches such as project-based learning, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), and the integration of green digital literacy have demonstrated considerable potential in engaging students with environmental issues while simultaneously enhancing language competencies. The findings further indicate that ELT can serve as an effective platform for promoting sustainability values and ecological responsibility. Conclusion: Embedding environmental awareness into ELT is essential for advancing the goals of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), enabling the development of critical, environmentally conscious, and globally responsible learners capable of contributing to sustainable futures. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers a comprehensive synthesis of challenges, strategies, and future directions for integrating environmental awareness into ELT, contributing to the advancement of eco-pedagogical discourse while providing practical implications for curriculum development and teacher professional training oriented toward sustainability.
