A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observations and interviews involving teachers, students, and alumni. Data were analyzed using the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that during the pandemic, the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum was not yet optimal due to limited facilities, low levels of instructional interaction, and uneven preparedness among teachers and students. Online learning tended to focus on task completion, resulting in reduced subject comprehension (learning loss) and lower learning motivation. In the post-pandemic period, the implementation of the curriculum showed notable improvements, particularly in terms of student interaction, participation, and creativity. Nevertheless, the effects of the pandemic were still evident in students' learning habits. Therefore, the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum depends largely on teachers' readiness, adequate educational facilities, and students' capacity for independent learning.</p> Zulfa Hestri, Paradipa, Riscky Fitri Wahyuni Copyright (c) 2026 Zulfa Hestri, Paradipa, Riscky Fitri Wahyuni https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://www.chem-upr.education/ojs/index.php/JIKT/article/view/452 Fri, 28 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0700 https://www.chem-upr.education/ojs/index.php/JIKT/article/view/453 <p>This study aims to analyze the influence of the principal’s servant leadership style on teacher performance at SMA Negeri 3 Palangka Raya. The principal’s leadership is one of the important factors affecting the effectiveness of educational organizations, particularly in improving the quality of teachers’ work performance. This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The research population consisted of all teachers at SMA Negeri 3 Palangka Raya, with the sample determined using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale to measure the variables of servant leadership and teacher performance. Data analysis was carried out using validity testing, reliability testing, simple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing with the assistance of statistical software. The results of the study indicate that the principal’s servant leadership style has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance. The higher the implementation of servant leadership principles by the principal, the better the quality of teacher performance in carrying out their professional duties. This study emphasizes the importance of implementing a service-oriented leadership model in improving the quality of education.</p> Anastesia, Aprianto Aprianto Copyright (c) 2026 Anastesia, Aprianto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://www.chem-upr.education/ojs/index.php/JIKT/article/view/453 Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700
