SWOT Based Principal Strategy (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, And Threats) in Improving the Quality of Muara Badak Integrated Islamic Elementary School
No full textThe use of SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis is a crucial tool in identifying and understanding the competitive position of a school. This research aims to describe the principal's strategy based on SWOT analysis in improving the quality of Muara Badak Integrated Islamic Elementary School. This research used a qualitative approach with a case study method conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation. The research results using SWOT analysis show that SDIT (Sekolah Dasar Islam Terpadu, Integrated Islamic Elementary School) Muara Badak improves the quality of education by 1) utilizing internal strengths systematically through the principal's leadership, which involves teachers, committees, and parents in policymaking; 2) the foundation provides financial support and resources without operational intervention, while the committee and parents actively contribute to school funding and activities; 3) the principal addresses administrative weaknesses by focusing on learning outcomes using clear guidance books and postponing the use of risky technology; 4) the school also leverages its position as the only integrated Islamic school in the region by strengthening branding through social media and teachers' role modeling of Islamic values. The threat of a less strategic location is overcome by providing school shuttle services, increasing parents' trust and the number of registrants; 5) routine evaluations and strengthening teachers' spirituality through reciting activities and close collaboration between the foundation, committees, and parents are key to the success of continuous quality improvement. Research recommendations include conducting comparative studies to identify best practices by comparing SDIT Muara Badak with other schools and developing an implementation model for a SWOT-based quality improvement strategy that can be widely applied by considering each school's contex
Storytelling in English Language Learning: Boosting Confidence and Discourse in EFL Contexts
No full textThis study investigates the role of storytelling as a teaching strategy for improving English language abilities among vocational students at SMKN 1 Samarinda. Recognizing a void in the literature on practical approaches for reducing speaking anxiety in EFL contexts, this study analyzes students’ perspectives of how storytelling impacts their confidence, discourse growth, and engagement. Data were acquired using a phenomenological technique via semi-structured interviews with three selected students, with validation provided by insights from their English teacher to increase the study’s credibility. The main findings show that storytelling boosts students’ confidence in speaking, promotes discourse expansion, and encourages active engagement in classroom activities. However, some challenges emerged, such as nervouness when presenting stories and concerns about peer evaluation. These elements occasionally prevented pupils from fully participating. The conclusion indicates that storytelling can be an effective method for creating a more participatory and encouraging language learning environment. Educators are advised to add narrative activities designed to reduce fear and improve confidence, allowing children to practice speaking abilities in a comfortable environment.

Sebanyak 62 responden dilibatkan melalui metode survei dengan instrumen kuesioner berskala Likert. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan model persamaan struktural untuk menguji hubungan langsung maupun tidak langsung antarvariabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model memiliki kemampuan prediktif yang kuat, dengan nilai R² sebesar 0,56 untuk konstruksi shadow teacher dan 0,63 untuk kemampuan membaca. Strategi shadow teacher terbukti berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kemampuan membaca (β = 0,42; p < 0,001), sedangkan tantangan tidak menunjukkan pengaruh negatif yang signifikan terhadap kemampuan membaca. Selain itu, strategi berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan membaca melalui mediasi parsial shadow teacher (β = 0,17; p = 0,001), sementara tantangan berpengaruh tidak langsung secara negatif melalui mediasi shadow teacher (β = –0,13; p = 0,014).

Pengaruh keteladanan dan pola asuh orangtua terhadap egosentrisme anak usia dini
No full textThis study aims to analyze the influence of parental role modeling and parenting styles on egocentrism in early childhood. The age of 4–6 years is considered a golden age, serving as a critical foundation for personality and character development, where parents play a central role in shaping children’s social behavior. This research employed a quantitative method with a survey approach. The participants were 177 parents of children aged 4–6 years. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through Spearman’s correlation test, as the data were not normally distributed. The findings indicate that parental role modeling has a significant relationship with children’s egocentrism; the higher the level of role modeling, the lower the tendency of egocentric behavior. Parenting styles also showed a significant relationship, although the effect was weaker than that of role modeling. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between parental role modeling and parenting styles. Among the parenting styles, the democratic approach was identified as the most influential in reducing egocentric tendencies in early childhood. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the importance of parental role modeling and parenting styles in minimizing egocentrism during early childhood. Providing consistent positive role models and applying democratic parenting can effectively foster healthier social attitudes in children
Validating Students’ Readiness for Online Learning: Questionnaire Development and Evaluation
No full textThe purpose of this study is to validate the students’ readiness of online learning questionnaire based on previous research, conceptualized in attitudes toward learning aspects. Six dimensions of attitudes toward learning aspects comprised of learning flexibility (LF), attitude online learning (OL), online interaction (OI), study management (SM), technology (TE), classroom learning (CL), and readiness of blended learning (RBL). 243 secondary students in a rural area in Bali participated in this study. Google form was delivered after the participants agree to join the study and filled the consent form. The data were analysed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess the hypotheses. The findings showed that a four-correlated model including attitudes toward study management, classroom learning, learning flexibility, and readiness of blended learning factors was validated by the results of EFA and CFA. Internal reliability confirmed the consistency factors, the validity provided evidence for significance relationships between them. Unlike previous study’s findings, this study discovered that attitudes toward online learning, attitudes toward technology, and attitudes toward online interaction are not essential elements of students’ readiness for online learning. This finding highlights pedagogical aspects, which turn into the essential idea in determining how prepared students are for online learning. The result can only be generalized to other areas of Indonesia through further researche
