The use of technology-based learning media, such as Smart TVs, has great potential in improving the quality of learning in elementary schools (SD). Smart TVs can support interactive learning, enrich teaching materials, and increase student learning motivation. However, in reality, many elementary schools still face limited supporting facilities so that their use is not optimal. This study analyzes the use of Smart TV in elementary schools with limited infrastructure, teacher readiness, and its impact on the learning process. The analysis method was carried out qualitatively through the study of school conditions, observations, and interviews with teachers. The results of the study show that the limitations of the internet network, the lack of supporting devices, and the lack of teacher training are the main factors that hinder the effectiveness of the use of Smart TVs. The impact of these limitations is the low integration of technology in learning, limited access to digital materials, and the suboptimal role of teachers as facilitators. Therefore, policy support from the government, improving school facilities, and teacher training programs are needed so that the use of Smart TVs can run optimally. The conclusion of the study emphasizes that Smart TV has the potential to become an innovative learning medium in elementary schools if supported by adequate infrastructure facilities and teacher competence in accordance with the demands of the digital era.

This study investigates the influence of organizational culture and school leadership on teacher performance through work motivation as an intervening variable at SMA N 2 Pasaman Barat. The research employed a quantitative approach, with the entire population consisting of 46 teachers serving as respondents. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method, including assessments of both the outer and inner models, as well as hypothesis testing. Data processing was conducted with the SmartPLS 3 software package to ensure accuracy and reliability in statistical analysis. The findings reveal that organizational culture has a significant positive effect on work motivation, indicating that a supportive and constructive organizational environment fosters higher levels of teacher motivation. Similarly, school leadership demonstrates a substantial impact on work motivation, emphasizing the importance of principals in inspiring and guiding teachers to remain engaged in their professional roles. Furthermore, the analysis shows that organizational culture significantly affects teacher performance, suggesting that strong cultural values and shared norms within the school enhance overall effectiveness in teaching. In contrast, the results indicate that school leadership does not have a direct significant effect on teacher performance, highlighting that leadership influence may be indirect, primarily channeled through motivational factors. Additionally, work motivation itself is found not to exert a substantial effect on teacher performance, suggesting that motivation alone may be insufficient without being supported by other organizational and contextual factors. When tested as an intervening variable, work motivation does not significantly mediate the relationship between organizational culture and teacher performance, nor between school leadership and teacher performance. Overall, the study contributes to the understanding of how organizational culture and leadership interact with teacher motivation and performance, with implications for educational management strategies aimed at enhancing teacher outcomes in secondary schools.
