OPTIMIZING THE FUNCTIONS OF EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION IN IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SCHOOL LEARNING PROCESS

Introduction

Optimizing the functions of educational administration in improving the effectiveness of the school learning process. Analyze strategies for optimizing educational administration functions to improve school learning effectiveness. Identifies challenges and suggests digitalization, training, and coordination for better quality learning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role and strategies for optimizing educational administration functions in improving the effectiveness of the learning process in schools. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation of school principals, administrative staff, teachers, and students. The results show that educational administration plays a crucial role in supporting order, discipline, and learning efficiency. The main obstacles identified include minimal use of technology, limited administrative staff, and a lack of understanding of the strategic role of administration. Suggested optimization strategies include digitizing the administrative system, training administrative staff and teachers, and strengthening coordination between school stakeholders. This study concludes that optimal educational administration functions not only as administrative record-keeping but also as a strategic instrument in improving the quality of learning in schools.

Review

This study, "OPTIMIZING THE FUNCTIONS OF EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION IN IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SCHOOL LEARNING PROCESS," addresses a highly relevant and often understated aspect of educational quality within schools. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative methodology, the research comprehensively analyzes the role and strategies for enhancing educational administration to bolster the learning process. The abstract clearly outlines the study's aim, data collection methods (interviews, observations, documentation from multiple stakeholders), and key findings, which highlight the critical supportive role of administration, common obstacles, and proposed optimization strategies. A significant strength of this research lies in its multi-stakeholder approach to data collection, ensuring a holistic perspective from school principals, administrative staff, teachers, and students. This breadth allows for a nuanced understanding of how administrative functions truly impact the educational environment. The identification of specific, practical obstacles such as minimal technology use and limited staff, coupled with actionable strategies like digitization, staff training, and strengthened coordination, provides valuable insights for practitioners. Crucially, the study effectively reframes educational administration from a purely clerical task to a strategic instrument, underscoring its pivotal role in improving the quality and effectiveness of school learning. While the abstract presents a strong foundation, the full manuscript would benefit from a deeper exploration of certain aspects. For instance, elaborating on the specific indicators or metrics used to define and measure "effectiveness of the learning process" would strengthen the empirical link between administrative optimization and learning outcomes. Furthermore, providing more context about the research sites, such as their characteristics or demographics, could enhance the transferability and generalizability of the findings. Future work might also consider examining the long-term impact of the proposed strategies and the socio-cultural factors that influence their successful implementation within diverse educational settings.
