Does transformational leadership shape lecturer performance? The mediating role of organizational engagement
Full text linkThis study investigates the effects of transformational leadership, academic culture, and workload on lecturer performance, with organizational engagement as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative survey of 210 permanent lecturers at Indonesian state Islamic universities and analyzed through SEM (AMOS 24), the study finds that transformational leadership and academic culture positively influence both engagement and performance. At the same time, workload negatively impacts engagement and has no direct effect on performance. Engagement partially mediates the influence of leadership and culture, and fully mediates the effect of workload on performance. These findings emphasize the importance of supportive leadership, strong academic culture, and effective workload management in enhancing lecturer engagement and performance, offering strategic insights for institutional reform in higher education

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2013 CURRICULUM IN TEACHING WRITING EXPLANATORY TEXTS USING CONCEPT MAPS IN INDONESIAN LANGUAGE LEARNING AT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Full text linkThe 2013 curriculum in Indonesian language education explains learning based on texts. It can be said that the 2013 curriculum relies on texts, which is why it is referred to as a text-based curriculum. An explanatory text is a written explanation related to natural phenomena, social, cultural issues, and so on. Based on the journal that has been analyzed, the researcher found that students have not fully understood the structure and linguistic elements of explanatory texts and there is a lack of teaching methods that can stimulate ideas and creativity in writing explanatory texts. Therefore, in this study, the author introduces the concept map method as one of the methods that can overcome students' difficulties in writing explanatory texts. The aim of this research is to emphasize the implementation of the 2013 Curriculum in Teaching Explanatory Text Writing Using Concept Maps in Indonesian Language Learning at Junior High School. The method applied in this study is library research. The research data was obtained from articles sourced from journals. The results of the study show that from various journals that have been analyzed, it has been proven that the concept map method can help students fully understand the structure and linguistic elements in writing explanatory texts. With the concept map method, students are able to write an explanatory text. The concept map serves as an effective method in the learning process, thereby improving student knowledge in writing explanatory texts
Development of an integrated learning device Wordwall application: An elementary school student's science literacy skills

Rwa Bhineda concept and weighted product method in the Alkin-Provus evaluation model modified design
Full text linkThe combination of the Alkin and Provus evaluation models was carried out to optimize the functionality of the evaluation components owned by each evaluation model. Although the combination of the two models was perfect, there were still obstacles in its implementation. The obstacle was the difficulty in determining the priority aspects in the evaluation components that trigger the effectiveness of a program/object being evaluated. Therefore, it is urgent to conduct research that shows innovations in the form of modifications made to the two evaluation models by utilizing the Rwa Bhineda concept and the Weighted Product method. The Rwa Bhineda concept is used to determine the accuracy of the integration of the evaluation aspects owned by each evaluation component of the Provus and Alkin models. The Weighted Product method is used to obtain calculation results in determining the priority aspects that trigger the effectiveness of a program. The purpose of this study was to show the quality of the modified design of the Alkin-Provus evaluation model that utilizes the Rwa Bhineda concept and the Weighted Product method. This study used a development approach. The development model, as proposed by Borg & Gall, encompasses three stages: design creation, initial design trials, and revision of initial design trials. The subjects involved in the initial design trial were 50 respondents. The selection of subjects used a purposive sampling technique. The initial trial tool was a questionnaire consisting of 15 questions related to the design. The data analysis technique for the trial results was quantitative descriptive. This technique involves comparing the percentage of design quality with quality standards that refer to the five-scale categorization. The results of this study indicate that the modified design of the Alkin-Provus evaluation model, which utilizes the Rwa Bhineda concept and the weighted product method, falls within the good quality category. The impact of the results of this study is that evaluators and observers in the field of education gain knowledge about the existence of the concept of Balinese local wisdom (namely Rwa Bhineda) and the decision support system method (namely Weighted Product) that can be used to optimize the functionality of the Provus and Alkin evaluation components and determine the priority aspects that trigger the effectiveness of a program/object being evaluated
