TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP STRATEGY AND REWARDS TOWARDS ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT OF PRIVATE KINDERGARTEN (TK) TEACHERS IN EAST JAKARTA

Mary Christien Languju — 2025-08-19

Increasing teacher organizational commitment is a reward or appreciation for teacher contributions to the organization. Marjuni (2020), said that giving awards to teachers is very appropriate and beneficial. Because, when teachers are recognized, the results of their hard work will be appreciated and can increase their productivity. This study aims to describe the relevance of giving teacher rewards in relation to the transformational leadership they have. The research method used is qualitative with a case study type in East Jakarta. The data collection techniques used were participant observation, interviews and documentation studies with Myles and Huberman data analysis techniques (data reduction, data verification, data display and conclusion drawing). The results of this study indicate that rewards as remuneration for efforts and work results include various elements. The term 'reward' first reminds us of financial matters, namely 'salary'. However, it should be emphasized that salary is not the only form of reward. In fact, it is sometimes argued that financial payments are not the most effective form of reward. The principal's transformational leadership provides motivation as a form of appreciation for teachers which ultimately increases teacher involvement in the educational process. Rewards offer real recognition to people for their achievements and contributions. Financial rewards consist of job-based pay, which provides a base salary according to the value of the work, and individual-based pay, which provides recognition for a person's contribution, competence, or skills. Awards can also be non-financial, such as recognition. If the award is valuable and achievable, and people know how to achieve it, this award can be a trigger for motivation. A PAUD teacher who has a high commitment will have positive thoughts and behavior, prioritize the interests of the organization, and try as hard as possible so that the organization's goals are achieved and develop for the better. In addition, the characteristics of transformational leadership are very high according to teachers. The level of commitment of teacher organizations is also high. The relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment is at a medium and positive level. The results of this study indicate that the principal's transformational leadership and organizational communication have a joint influence on the variable of teacher organizational commitment by 92.2 % which means very strong. The better the principal's transformational leadership and organizational communication, the better the teacher's organizational commitment.

A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS IN HIGHER EDUCATION: LOCATING THE ROLE OF EDUCATORS

Ismu Iskandar — 2025-08-21

Although artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in higher education, little research has examined these phenomena from an educational perspective. Through a comprehensive evaluation of 146 peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2007 and 2018, this paper addresses the lack of pedagogical and ethical considerations in current AI-oriented publications. Based on accepted rules for evidence synthesis, the review used a methodical approach, including papers indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, and EBSCO Education Source. With only 6.2% of academics having an eye toward education, the statistics show a predominance of papers from Computer Science and STEM fields. Four main areas define artificial intelligence applications in higher education: intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive systems and personalisation, assessment and evaluation, and profiling and prediction. Only a tiny minority of research addressed ethical issues or instructional frameworks; most employed quantitative approaches. This assessment concludes that while artificial intelligence shows potential for improving educational processes, current research lacks significant input from teachers and remains technologically oriented. It advocates for multidisciplinary cooperation and theory-based methods to ensure that AI supports ethical norms and educational objectives.

Anson Rimmon — 2025-08-21

The global energy crisis and the need for renewable energy sources have driven the development of wind turbine technology, one of which is the Savonius type turbine. This study aims to analyze the effect of blade angle variations on the structural strength of the Savonius turbine using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method in SolidWorks software. Blade models with angles of 0°, 5°, and 10° were analyzed using ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) material, with evaluation parameters in the form of maximum stress, total deformation, and strain. The simulation results show that the 10° blade configuration produces the most optimal structural performance, with a maximum stress of 61.43 MPa, a maximum displacement of 9 mm, and a maximum strain of 0.002. Compared to the 0° and 5° blades, this configuration shows a more even distribution of stress and strain, thus minimizing load concentration at critical points. Although all configurations produce stresses exceeding the elastic limit of ABS material (±45 MPa), the 10° blade is still recommended as the best design alternative from the aspect of load distribution and structural integrity, with the note that materials with higher mechanical strength are required for practical applications.
