This study aims to examine the impact of parental involvement and socioeconomic status (SES) on academic achievement at public senior high schools in Tangerang Municipality. The study used a cross-sectional survey design. The study population consisted of students from public senior high schools in Tangerang Municipality. We applied Weighted Regression analysis utilizing a sample size of 893 participants. We used a validated questionnaire that was distributed via WhatsApp groups. The findings showed that parents with high SES tended to be more involved in their children's learning; however, high parental SES did not guarantee high academic achievement for their children. The mean difference tests revealed that academic achievement did not differ significantly by parental involvement, whereas it did differ significantly by parental SES. Researchers also found that parents’ involvement in education significantly boosted students' academic achievement. In contrast, parents' SES did not have a significant impact. Intensive discussions, good communication, full attention, giving gifts, and providing learning facilities are effective parental involvement actions that encourage increases in children's academic achievement. Parental involvement matters more than parental SES in improving students’ academic achievement. Therefore, maintaining strong relationships between schools and parents is essential to support students’ educational outcomes. Local governments need to strengthen regulations governing parents' roles at home and at school. Keywords: academic achievement, parental involvement, SES.

Research on fitrah-based education is mostly conceptual or situated in early childhood and primary schools; its implementation in junior high schools bound by the national curriculum remains underexplored. This qualitative case study describes the forms of implementation, strategies for developing students' academic and spiritual potential, supporting and inhibiting factors, and implications for students at SMP Ar-Rauf Tangerang. Data came from interviews with seven informants, observation, and documents, analyzed with the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model. Four forms of implementation emerged: an integrated curriculum, learning centered on students' uniqueness, narrative assessment (Rapor Fitrah), and a nurturing school culture. Potential was developed through talent mapping, personalized Qur'an memorization, nature-based entrepreneurship, and differentiated instruction. Educator vision, parental involvement, and the environment supported implementation; tension with the national curriculum, teacher workload, and varied parental understanding inhibited it. The study proposes the Formal School Fitrah Ecosystem model.

This study examined the associations of self-regulation, self-esteem, and digital literacy with students' perceived learning achievement at Ariya Metta Vocational High School, Tangerang. The quantitative ex post facto study included 154 students drawn from a population of 250 through proportional stratified random sampling. Online questionnaire responses were analysed using multiple linear regression in SPSS version 27. Self-regulation (B = 1.349; β = 0.494; t = 6.739; p < .001) and self-esteem (B = 0.624; β = 0.345; t = 4.113; p < .001) were positively associated with perceived achievement after adjustment for the other predictors. Digital literacy showed no significant unique association (B = 0.040; β = 0.019; t = 0.248; p = .804). The model accounted for 63.0% of the observed variation (R² = .630; adjusted R² = .622). Although digital literacy was significant in a simple regression, the association did not persist in the full model, indicating overlapping explanatory information among predictors. The findings support attention to learning management and students' evaluations of themselves while encouraging academically purposeful uses of digital resources. Because achievement was self-reported and the design was observational, the results do not establish causality.

Character education in Vocational High Schools (SMK) faces challenges in aligning technical skill development with student work ethics. This study aims to analyze the role of the Intra-School Student Organization (OSIS) in supporting character education at SMK Puspita Bangsa, South Tangerang City. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies, with data validity tested using source and technique triangulation. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results show that OSIS plays a crucial role through three main aspects: (1) acting as a peer role model for discipline; (2) executing structured work programs encompassing religious, disciplinary, leadership, and social care dimensions; and (3) internalizing industrial work culture values. The main obstacles encountered include the dynamics of Field Work Practice (PKL) schedules and fluctuations in member participation, which are mitigated through flexible coordination and school management support. This study concludes that OSIS is effectively a strategic vehicle for student character development in vocational schools.

Teachers’ Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) refers to voluntary behaviours that contribute to the effectiveness of school organizations. An initial survey showed that teachers’ OCB in private senior high schools and vocational high schools in Curug District, Tangerang Regency, was generally in the good category, although variations remained across several indicators. This study aimed to analyze the relationships between principal support, organizational culture, and job satisfaction and teachers’ OCB in A-accredited private senior high schools and vocational high schools in Curug District, Tangerang Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational method. The population and sample consisted of 112 teachers from five schools, selected using total sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires that had met validity and reliability requirements. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation and Kendall’s W with the assistance of SPSS version 27. The results showed that, partially, principal support had no significant relationship with teachers’ OCB (r = 0.132; p = 0.166), organizational culture had no significant relationship with teachers’ OCB (r = 0.002; p = 0.984), and job satisfaction had no significant relationship with teachers’ OCB (r = 0.012; p = 0.901). However, the Kendall’s W test showed that principal support, organizational culture, and job satisfaction simultaneously had a significant relationship with teachers’ OCB (W = 0.101; p < 0.001). Thus, principal support, organizational culture, and job satisfaction were not significantly related to teachers’ OCB when examined individually, but they were significantly related when examined simultaneously. These findings indicate that teachers’ OCB needs to be understood through the integration of various organizational aspects, particularly principal support, organizational culture, and job satisfaction.

رفتار شهروندی سازمانی (OCB) معلمان به رفتارهای داوطلبانه‌ای اشاره دارد که به اثربخشی سازمان‌های مدرسه‌ای کمک می‌کند. بررسی اولیه نشان داد که OCB معلمان در دبیرستان‌ها و هنرستان‌های غیرانتفاعی بخش کوروق شهرستان تانگرانگ عموماً در سطح خوب قرار دارد، اگرچه در برخی شاخص‌ها تفاوت‌هایی مشاهده می‌شود. هدف این پژوهش، تحلیل روابط بین حمایت مدیر، فرهنگ سازمانی و رضایت شغلی با OCB معلمان در دبیرستان‌ها و هنرستان‌های غیرانتفاعی دارای درجه اعتبار A در بخش کوروق شهرستان تانگرانگ بود. این پژوهش با رویکرد کمی و روش همبستگی انجام شد. جامعه و نمونه شامل ۱۱۲ معلم از پنج مدرسه بود که با روش سرشماری انتخاب شدند. داده‌ها از طریق پرسشنامه‌هایی که شرایط روایی و پایایی را احراز کرده بودند، گردآوری شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از همبستگی اسپیرمن و آزمون Kendall’s W و با کمک نرم‌افزار SPSS نسخه ۲۷ تحلیل شدند. نتایج نشان داد که به طور جداگانه، حمایت مدیر با OCB معلمان رابطه معناداری نداشت (r = 0.132؛ p = 0.166)، فرهنگ سازمانی با OCB معلمان رابطه معناداری نداشت (r = 0.002؛ p = 0.984) و رضایت شغلی نیز با OCB معلمان رابطه معناداری نداشت (r = 0.012؛ p = 0.901). با این حال، آزمون Kendall’s W نشان داد که حمایت مدیر، فرهنگ سازمانی و رضایت شغلی به طور همزمان با OCB معلمان رابطه معناداری دارند (W = 0.101؛ p < 0.001). بنابراین، حمایت مدیر، فرهنگ سازمانی و رضایت شغلی به صورت فردی با OCB معلمان رابطه معناداری نداشتند، اما به صورت همزمان رابطه معناداری داشتند. این یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که OCB معلمان باید از طریق ادغام جنبه‌های مختلف سازمانی، به ویژه حمایت مدیر، فرهنگ سازمانی و رضایت شغلی، مورد توجه قرار گیرد.

This study is motivated by the importance of strengthening elementary school students’ democratic character through Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn) instruction. Teachers hold a strategic role in instilling democratic values, yet implementation still faces various challenges. This study aims to describe the teacher’s role, the strategies employed, and the supporting and inhibiting factors in strengthening students’ democratic character in Grade V PPKn learning. A descriptive qualitative approach was used at UPTD SD Negeri Perigi 03, South Tangerang City, with the principal, Grade V teachers, and Grade V students as subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model (data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification), with validity ensured through triangulation. The results show that teachers fulfilled five roles – educator, facilitator, guide, motivator, and role model – through strategies such as group discussion and deliberation, presentation and question-answer sessions, contextual problem-solving, class-president election and democracy simulation, varied instructional media, and positive reinforcement. Supporting factors included school commitment, facilities, character-habituation programs, teacher competence, and student enthusiasm, while inhibiting factors included an unconducive classroom atmosphere, low student self-confidence, disrespectful peer behavior, and uneven participation. Sustained, synergistic efforts among teachers, learning strategies, and the school environment are needed for democratic character strengthening to proceed optimally and equitably.

این پژوهش با انگیزه اهمیت تقویت شخصیت دموکراتیک دانش‌آموزان دبستان از طریق آموزش مطالعات اجتماعی و آموزش شهروندی (PPKn) انجام شده است. معلمان نقش راهبردی در نهادینه‌سازی ارزش‌های دموکراتیک دارند، اما اجرای آن همچنان با چالش‌های مختلفی مواجه است. هدف این پژوهش توصیف نقش معلم، راهبردهای به‌کاررفته و عوامل تسهیل‌کننده و بازدارنده در تقویت شخصیت دموکراتیک دانش‌آموزان در آموزش PPKn پایه پنجم است. این پژوهش با رویکرد کیفی توصیفی در UPTD SD Negeri Perigi 03 شهر تانگرانگ جنوبی و با مشارکت مدیر مدرسه، معلمان پایه پنجم و دانش‌آموزان پایه پنجم انجام شد. داده‌ها از طریق مشاهده، مصاحبه و اسناد جمع‌آوری و با استفاده از مدل تعاملی مایلز و هابرمن (کاهش داده‌ها، نمایش داده‌ها و نتیجه‌گیری/تأیید) تحلیل شدند و روایی از طریق مثلث‌سازی تضمین گردید. نتایج نشان داد که معلمان پنج نقش—آموزگار، تسهیل‌گر، راهنما، انگیزه‌بخش و الگو—را از طریق راهبردهایی مانند بحث و گفت‌وگوی گروهی، ارائه و پرسش‌وپاسخ، حل مسئله‌های زمینه‌محور، انتخابات رئیس کلاس و شبیه‌سازی دموکراسی، رسانه‌های آموزشی متنوع و تقویت مثبت ایفا کردند. عوامل تسهیل‌کننده شامل تعهد مدرسه، امکانات، برنامه‌های عادت‌دهی به شخصیت، شایستگی معلم و اشتیاق دانش‌آموزان و عوامل بازدارنده شامل فضای نامناسب کلاس، اعتمادبه‌نفس پایین دانش‌آموزان، رفتار بی‌احترام همسالان و مشارکت نامتوازن بودند. تلاش‌های مستمر و هم‌افزا میان معلمان، راهبردهای یادگیری و محیط مدرسه برای تقویت شخصیت دموکراتیک به‌صورت بهینه و عادلانه ضروری است.
