Abstract

Background - Teacher competencies include pedagogic, professionalism, social and personality. However, there are still many problems faced regarding the development and implementation of these competencies in schools. Purpose - This study aims to describe the effect of principal leadership and teacher competence on teacher performance with learning management as a mediating variable. Method/approach - The approach used in this research is quantitative with a correlational design. Findings - The results showed that: (1) principal leadership has a positive but insignificant effect on performance, T-count = 0. 943 and p-value = 0.346; (2) learning management has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, T-count = 6.261 and p-value = 0.000; (3) teacher competence has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, T-count = 6.033 and p-value = 0.000; (4) principal leadership, learning management, and teacher competence simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, R-square = 0.684 and SRMR = 0.064; (5) through the mediation path on learning management it is found that leadership indirectly has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, T-count = 4.510 and p-value = 0.000; (6) through the mediator of learning management it is found that teacher competence indirectly has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, T-count = 17.477 and p-value = 0. 000. Improving teacher performance is expected to be followed up with concrete steps through various competency improvement programs, training, and relevant policy improvements. Conclusion – Learning management plays a crucial mediating role in enhancing the impact of both leadership and competence on teacher performance. Strengthening this variable is key to improving teacher outcomes in schools. Novelty/Originality/Value – This study contributes to the literature by empirically validating learning management as a significant mediating factor between leadership, competence, and teacher performance—a relationship that is rarely explored in previous studies. The integration of leadership, competence, and instructional management provides a comprehensive model for improving educational quality.

Abstract

Numeracy literacy plays a crucial role in developing students’ mathematical creativity in elementary school. However, students’ numeracy skills remain relatively low and require focused attention in the learning process. This study aims to analyze the role of numeracy literacy in enhancing the mathematical creativity of elementary school students. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving upper-grade elementary school students and teachers as research subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that numeracy literacy—which includes the ability to understand, interpret, and apply mathematics in real-life contexts—significantly contributes to fostering students' creative mathematical thinking. Students’ mathematical creativity is reflected in their ability to generate alternative solutions, develop problem-solving strategies, and express ideas logically. The study concludes that numeracy literacy not only strengthens conceptual understanding of mathematics but also serves as a medium to cultivate students’ creative thinking. The novelty of this research lies in its focused analysis of the relationship between numeracy literacy and mathematical creativity in the context of elementary education, an area that has been relatively underexplored in previous studies.

Abstract

Background - PPKn learning has an important role in shaping students' character, but conventional methods often make them passive and less motivated. Therefore, learning innovation is needed by utilizing interactive digital media so that students are more active and understand the material better. Purpose - This study aims to describe the application of wordwall media in learning Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn) in grade IV of SD Muhammadiyah Plus Malangjiwan Colomadu. Wordwall is a digital-based learning media that allows teachers to create interactive activities such as quizzes, matching, and other educational games to increase student engagement and understanding of the subject matter. Method/approach - This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and documentation. To ensure the validity of the data, triangulation of techniques and sources is used. Meanwhile, data analysis is carried out through three main stages, namely data presentation, data reduction, and verification or drawing conclusions. Findings - The results of the study show that in learning planning, teachers rarely create teaching modules or RPPs so that they only compile them when there are administrative needs. The use of wordwall in PPKn learning has a significant impact on student engagement, where students become more active in discussions, show increased enthusiasm in answering questions, and understand the concepts taught more easily. Compared to the lecture method, student engagement increased substantially, with most students showing active participation during the learning process. Supporting factors in the implementation of this media include adequate internet access and the availability of devices such as projectors and speakers. Conclusions - However, there are several obstacles such as limited time for teachers to create media, minimal teacher skills in using technology, and technical obstacles such as unstable electricity.  As a solution, training and assistance are needed for teachers in utilizing digital-based media in order to optimize learning, as well as arranging the schedule for using projectors or increasing the capacity of electricity to overcome technical obstacles. Novelty/Originality/Value - The implication of this study is that the integration of digital media such as wordwall in PPKn learning not only increases student engagement but also encourages innovation in teaching methods, so teachers need to develop their digital competencies to create more engaging and effective learning.
