Conflict is an inevitable phenomenon in educational environments due to differences in characteristics, interests, perceptions, and goals among school members. If not managed properly, conflict can disrupt the learning process, weaken social relationships, and negatively affect educational quality. This study aims to analyze the role of collaborative conflict management in improving the quality of education in madrasahs and schools. The research employed a qualitative approach using a library research method by reviewing various books, scientific journals, and relevant literature related to conflict management and education.

Furthermore, the application of collaborative conflict management contributes to strengthening cooperation among school members, creating a harmonious and conducive learning environment, and improving teacher performance as well as student learning outcomes. School principals play a strategic role as mediators and facilitators in guiding conflict resolution processes fairly and participatively. Therefore, collaborative conflict management can serve as an effective strategy for enhancing educational quality and fostering a positive educational climate in madrasahs and schools.

In the Education 4.0 era, schools face unprecedented challenges in managing teacher performance effectively. Traditional top-down performance management systems have proven inadequate for fostering continuous professional growth, intrinsic motivation, and adaptive teaching competencies required in increasingly technology-driven learning environments. This study aims to develop, validate, and assess the effectiveness of a School-Based Performance Management (SBPM) model designed to enhance teacher effectiveness across cognitive, affective, and pedagogical dimensions. Using a Research and Development (R&D) design following the ADDIE framework, the study was conducted in three phases: needs analysis, model development, and model validation. Participants included 12 school principals, 186 teachers, and 8 education experts from 24 public secondary schools in [Province, Country]. Validation by experts yielded a content validity index (CVI) of 0.91. Implementation resulted in statistically significant improvements in teacher effectiveness scores (t = 8.74, p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 1.23), digital pedagogy competency (mean increase = 22.4%), and student learning outcomes (mean improvement = 17.8%). The SBPM model provides a contextually responsive, evidence-based framework that empowers schools to manage teacher performance collaboratively, fostering professional accountability and sustainable instructional quality in Education 4.0.

This research was motivated by the importance of public relations management in building cooperation among schools, parents, and communities to support the improvement of educational quality in elementary schools.

The obstacles found included parents’ limited time, low digital literacy among some parents, and the lack of optimal evaluation of school public relations programs. The implications of this study indicate that effective public relations management can increase parent and community involvement in supporting the educational process in elementary schools.

Social Studies (IPS) learning in elementary schools plays an essential role in developing students’ critical thinking skills and civic attitudes as part of 21st-century competencies. However, in practice, IPS learning is still commonly teacher-centered and lacks contextual learning experiences, resulting in low student engagement and limited development of higher-order thinking skills. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in IPS learning to enhance critical thinking skills and civic attitudes of grade VI students at SDN Prekbun. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers, students, school principals, and parents, as well as documentation of learning activities. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that the implementation of PjBL effectively enhances students’ active participation, critical thinking skills in analyzing social issues, and civic attitudes such as responsibility, cooperation, and social awareness. Learning becomes more meaningful as students are directly involved in contextual, collaborative, and problem-based project activities. Despite these positive outcomes, several challenges were identified, including limited learning facilities, time management constraints, and variations in students’ confidence levels. This study implies that PjBL is an effective instructional model for strengthening character education and developing 21st-century skills in elementary social studies learning

The implementation of active learning models such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) at the junior high school level is often constrained by the complexity of instructional time management. This study aims to examine the role of the principal’s instructional leadership in addressing time management dilemmas in the implementation of active learning at SMP Negeri 6 Panyabungan. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed in this study. Data were collected through non-participant observation and in-depth interviews with key informants, namely the school principal and an Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teacher selected as representatives of field conditions. The findings reveal three main results. First, teachers’ time management constraints are caused by weak control of learning activity transitions, noisy classroom conditions during group division, and low initial student learning readiness. Second, the principal implemented several concrete interventions, including the adoption of block scheduling, clinical supervision focused on classroom management, and the optimization of the Subject Teacher Forum (MGMP) or school learning community. Third, these interventions improved teachers’ instructional efficiency, strengthened classroom activity control, and created a more structured active learning process. However, sustainability challenges remain, particularly resistance from senior teachers who tend to prefer conventional teaching methods. This study concludes that adaptive and solution-oriented instructional leadership is a key factor in addressing the complexity of time management constraints in active learning implementation.
