The Contribution of the Principal's Managerial Function in Improving the Quality of Education Based on School Exam Results in High Schools in Banten Province

Abstract

This study examines the contribution of the principal's managerial function in improving the quality of education in high schools in Banten Province based on school exam results. The challenges faced include disparities in access, the quality of educators, curriculum relevance, availability of facilities, parental involvement, resource management, and the utilization of technology. The research employs a quantitative method with surveys involving principals, teachers, and students from various high schools in Banten. Data were analyzed using SPSS to determine the relationship between principal leadership and exam results. The correlation test results between X (the principal's contribution) and Y (school exams) showed rcalcualted= 0.664 and rtabel = 0.514. In other words, since 0.664 > 0.514, H0 is accepted, indicating a positive relationship between variables X and Y. This demonstrates that the principal's leadership has a significant impact on improving school exam results, particularly in Mathematics and Indonesian Language subjects. These findings underscore the importance of developing principal leadership to enhance the quality of education in Banten Province.
