Educational Management Strategy for Literary Reading Materials through the Novel Nadira by Leila S. Chudori for Eleventh Grade Students
The problem of literature learning in Grade XI senior high schools is related to students’ low interest in reading and the difficulty of understanding novels with complex language and narrative structures. This study examines the simplification of the novel Nadira by Leila S. Chudori as an alternative literary reading material using Seymour Chatman’s narrative structuralism theory. The results indicate that simplification can be carried out by simplifying the language and textual structure without eliminating the theme, plot, characters, conflicts, and aesthetic values. Consequently, the resulting teaching material is easier to understand and more suitable for Grade XI students.

The Contextual Teaching and Learning Model Assisted by Word Card Media to Improve Early Reading Skills of Grade 2 Students at SD Negeri 18 Vega, Selimbau District
This research was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach supported by word card media in enhancing the beginning reading abilities of second-grade students at SD Negeri 18 Vega, Selimbau District. A quantitative methodology was adopted, utilizing a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest framework. The participants comprised 17 second-grade students, all of whom were included in the study through a saturated sampling technique. Data were gathered through reading tests, classroom observations, and documentation. The validity of the research instrument was evaluated using the Pearson Product Moment correlation, while reliability was measured through Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient. Data analysis involved both descriptive and inferential statistics, including a paired-samples t-test performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27. The findings demonstrated that all test items satisfied the required validity standards, although the reliability values did not fully reach the generally recommended level. The descriptive analysis indicated an increase in the average score from 57.64 in the pretest to 78.82 in the posttest. Furthermore, the paired-samples t-test revealed a significant difference between students’ scores before and after the intervention (Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05), accompanied by a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.85). These results suggest that the application of the CTL model in combination with word card media contributed positively to the improvement of students’ early reading performance. Consequently, the study offers initial empirical support for the use of CTL and word card media as an instructional strategy to foster beginning reading skills in elementary school learners.

The Impact of Intellectual Capital, Digital Literacy and Digital Transformation on MSME Performance: The Mediating Role of Edupreneurship Innovation in Malang City
Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) play a strategic role in the Indonesian economy; however, they continue to face challenges in improving performance and competitiveness in the digital economy era. These challenges are closely related to limitations in intellectual capital management, low levels of digital literacy, and the suboptimal implementation of digital transformation, which weaken business innovation, particularly among Food and Beverage (F&B) sector MSEs in Malang City. From the perspective of educational and educational management, these conditions indicate the need for systematic entrepreneurship education, digital literacy learning, and well-managed training programs to strengthen the competencies and adaptive capacities of MSE actors. This study aims to analyze the influence of intellectual capital, digital literacy, and digital transformation on MSE performance, with Innovation edupreneurship as a mediating variable, based on Dynamic Capability Theory and supported by educational management approaches emphasizing learning processes, knowledge development, and entrepreneurial capacity building. This quantitative research employed an explanatory design with a cross-sectional survey of 373 MSE owners selected from a population of 11,929 F&B MSEs in Malang City. Data were collected through a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM–PLS) with SmartPLS 4.0. The findings show that intellectual capital significantly improves MSE performance, while digital literacy and digital transformation do not directly affect performance. However, all three variables significantly influence innovation. Innovation edupreneurship also positively affects performance and mediates the relationships between intellectual capital, digital literacy, digital transformation, and MSE performance. These findings highlight the strategic role of educational management through entrepreneurship education, digital literacy programs, and continuous training in strengthening Innovation edupreneurship capacity and improving the sustainable performance of MSEs.

Effectiveness of Ecotourism-Based Entrepreneurship Education as Seen from Students' Perception
The global climate crisis demands a radical transformation in the higher education sector, particularly in entrepreneurship curricula. Students, as agents of change, no longer view business solely as an instrument of capital accumulation, but rather as a means of conservation. Ecotourism has emerged as an ideal laboratory for testing the synergy between profitability and environmental preservation. However, the effectiveness of this education depends heavily on how students perceive the relevance of the material to the realities of the field. Understanding their perspectives is crucial to evaluating whether current learning models are capable of producing competent ecopreneurs or merely providing theoretical insights without any real impact on ecosystem sustainability and the well-being of local communities.

Institutional Resilience and Cultural Capital: A Systematic Literature Review of Islamic Education Under Mongol Rule
The Mongol expansion in the thirteenth century, culminating in the fall of Baghdad in 1258 under Hulagu Khan, is often associated with the destruction of Islamic intellectual institutions. However, developments during the Ilkhanid period in Persia (1256–1335) reveal a more complex process in which Islamic education was reorganized rather than eliminated. This study examines how Islamic educational institutions adapted and sustained their authority under Mongol rule by analyzing patterns of institutional reconstruction, scholarly agency, and curriculum continuity. Using a narrative literature review approach, this research synthesizes historical and sociological studies, organizing them around themes of political transformation, madrasa development, and cultural capital reproduction. The findings show that although early conquests dismantled major centers such as Bayt al-Hikmah, later Ilkhanid patronage especially after the Islamization of Mongol rulers encouraged the reestablishment of madrasas, strengthened waqf-based funding, and supported scientific inquiry. Figures such as Nasir al-Din al-Tusi illustrate how ulama negotiated political authority while maintaining intellectual production. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of cultural capital, this study argues that madrasas functioned as sites of cultural reproduction, ensuring epistemic continuity amid political rupture.

Integrative Model of Education, Role Adaptation, and Work Ecology in Understanding Nursing Performance
Nursing performance remains a decisive determinant of clinical reliability in settings characterised by fluctuating acuity and documentation density. This study aimed to examine an integrative model of education, role adaptation, and work ecology in understanding nursing performance within contemporary clinical settings. A cross-sectional approach was applied to thirty-three respondents using validated self-administered questionnaires and multiple regression analysis. Correlation analysis indicated that role adaptation was strongly associated with clinical performance (r = 0.85), while work ecology demonstrated a similarly high association (r = 0.74). Regression findings confirmed that both variables jointly accounted for substantial variance in nursing performance (adjusted R² = 0.81), with role adaptation (β = 0.59, p <0.001) and work ecology (β = 0.45, p <0.001) emerging as significant predictive contributors. These findings suggest that nursing performance is stabilised not solely by individual adaptive judgement, but through its synchronisation with educational grounding and environmental clarity. The study positions nursing performance as a co-regulated outcome of education, adaptive cognition, and work ecological structure at the time of observation.

Competitive Strategies and Innovation of Private Educational Institutions in Improving School Competitiveness
The ongoing decline in new student enrollment has placed private schools in Indonesia under increasing competitive pressure, particularly in relation to public schools and emerging alternative education providers. Despite this urgency, existing studies have not offered a consolidated analytical overview of how private schools strategically respond to these challenges. To address this gap, the present study conducts a systematic literature review restricted to peer-reviewed publications released between 2019 and 2025. Using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 12 relevant articles were identified from Scopus, Google Scholar, ERIC, and DOAJ, all of which specifically discuss strategic management and competitive practices within Indonesian private education. The thematic analysis reveals three dominant strategic patterns. First, differentiation strategies, including academic quality enhancement, teacher capacity building, and flagship program innovation, remain the most widely employed response to enrollment decline. Second, marketing and communication strategies, particularly digital branding, social media campaigns, and parent-centered communication models, have grown significantly as schools adapt to shifts in information-seeking behavior among prospective parents. Third, partnership and collaboration strategies, involving community outreach, industry linkages, and cooperation with religious or higher education institutions, function as complementary supports that strengthen institutional credibility. These findings underscore that strategic effectiveness in Indonesian private schools depends on the alignment between internal value propositions and the needs, expectations, and sociocultural dynamics of local communities. By synthesizing recent evidence into a structured thematic framework, this study provides a scientific foundation for private school leaders seeking to design evidence-based and context-responsive competitive strategies.

Systematic Literature Review (SLR): Application of Technology to the Education Curriculum in Islamic Religious Education Subjects in High Schools
Technology plays a significant role in the education sector, particularly in influencing students' learning motivation. This study aims to evaluate the influence of technology-based curriculum implementation on students' learning motivation, specifically within Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects at the Senior High School level. This study utilizes a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the PRISMA approach. A comprehensive search of databases (Google Scholar and Sinta) identified relevant articles published between 2020 and 2025. After a rigorous screening process, 15 articles were selected for in-depth analysis. The results indicate that the integration of technology manifested through learning applications (Quizizz), digital content creation tools (CapCut), and interactive platforms (YouTube, Tablets) significantly increases students' interest and participation in PAI learning activities. The study concludes that technology serves as a vital bridge in the modern PAI curriculum, transforming abstract religious concepts into engaging visual experiences. However, successful implementation requires careful management and teacher digital competence to ensure a positive and sustained impact on student motivation.

The Influence of Principal Leadership and Work Motivation on the Performance of As-Shofa Foundation Teachers, Pekanbaru
This study intends to analyze the influence of principal leadership and work motivation on teacher performance at As-Shofa Foundation in Pekanbaru. The background of the study is rooted in the importance of teacher performance as a determinant of educational quality, as well as the strategic role of principals and work motivation in improving teacher work quality. Quantitative approach, was used in the study, with a sample of 104 teachers chosen by simple random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression. Results revealed that principal leadership had a significant effect on teacher performance with a contribution of 71.5%. Meanwhile, work motivation did not have a significant effect on teacher performance, indicating that teachers are still able to carry out their professional tasks without strong external encouragement. Simultaneously, principal leadership and work motivation had a significant effect on teacher performance with a combined contribution of 71.5%. This finding confirms that the role of the principal as an educational leader is crucial in determining the quality of teacher performance, while work motivation should be raised through policies and a more supportive work environment. This study brings a contribution towards the development of educational management science, particularly determinants of teacher performance. Work motivation holds no significant influence on teachers performance at the As-Shofa Foundation in Pekanbaru. The strong managerial role of the foundation and the teachers’ sense of responsibility for their duties are the reasons why work motivation does not influence performance. However, this study is limited to only one foundation.

Transparency and Accountability in School Financial Management: A Study of Informal Fundraising for Teacher Retirement Events
Purpose of the study: This study aims to critically examine the practice of informal fundraising in public schools for teacher retirement events and to assess its alignment with principles of transparency, accountability, and financial governance as mandated by educational management theory and national regulations. Methodology: This research employs a qualitative document-analysis approach. Data were obtained from online news sources, government regulations, and academic literature on school financial management. Main findings: The findings reveal that the Rp50,000 student levy lacked formal planning, was not included in the school budgeting document (RKAS), was conducted without school committee approval, and had no official financial reporting. These conditions indicate violations of transparency, fairness, and school accountability principles. Applications of this study: The study offers insights useful for improving school financial policies, strengthening public fund supervision, enhancing educational management practices, and reforming financial governance within educational institutions. Novelty/Originality: This study presents an integrated analysis combining management theory, regulatory frameworks, and real-life case evidence, offering new perspectives on how informal levies affect school governance systems and public trust.

Dynamics of Power and Authority in Principal Leadership at the Senior High School Level
This study examines the dynamics of power and authority in high school principal leadership, emphasizing the impact of power utilization, leadership styles, and organizational political processes on the efficacy of educational management. The research was executed via a literature review, analyzing books, scientific journals, government regulations, and diverse literature pertinent to educational leadership. The research findings indicate that the principal's power is not solely derived from structural legitimacy, but also from expertise, social connections, integrity, and interpersonal skills, which have been proven to enhance moral authority. For a school to have a good, collaborative, and quality-oriented climate, there needs to be a balance between formal power and professional authority. The ethical use of power and authority includes transparency, fairness, accountability, and a student-centered approach, which are key to reducing resistance, increasing trust, and strengthening school culture. This research substantiates that the efficacy of school principal leadership directly influences the quality of learning, organizational culture, and the success of educational transformation
