Improving Teacher Performance and Student Learning Motivation at The Islamic Education Center for Kids through Managerial Principles, Teaching Supervision, and Financial Management

Abstract

Numerous studies have examined the various factors that influence the effectiveness of student learning, including management principles, learning supervision, school culture, teacher performance, learning motivation, and strategies. The current research aims to enhance student learning at the Islamic Educational Center for Kids (IECFK) by improving management, financing, supervision, teacher performance, and student learning motivation. Cluster random sampling was performed to gather research data, and an electronic questionnaire was sent to 288 IECFK administrators out of a total population of 995 IECFK in Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta. The questionnaire was filled out to collect research data. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data. The research indicates that managerial principles, teaching supervision, and financing management positively and significantly impact teacher performance and student learning motivation. These findings can be used to assess and enhance the quality of IECFK in Gunungkidul Regency and provide recommendations for improvement. Future research could consider other variables, such as positive peer influence and parental encouragement of learning.
