THE INFLUENCE OF SCHOOL PRINCIPALS' TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND TEACHER INVOLVEMENT ON IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION AT MADRASAH ALIYAH NEGERI 2 AL-YASINI PASURUAN

Abstract

This research aims to explore the influence of the principal's transformational leadership and teacher involvement on improving the quality of education at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 2 Al-Yasini Pasuruan. The method used is quantitative with a correlational study approach. The research population consisted of 52 teachers and staff. A sample of 42 respondents was selected using the Isaac & Michael table with an error rate of 5%. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire with a Likert scale. Analysis was carried out using linear regression and multiple regression using SPSS version 25, including validity testing with Pearson correlation and reliability testing with Cronbach's alpha. The results of the research show that Transformational Leadership and Teacher Involvement have a significant impact on improving the quality of education at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 2 Al-Yasini Pasuruan. Statistically significant regression coefficients (with very low p-values, namely <0.001 for Transformational Leadership and 0.002 for Teacher Engagement) indicate that every one unit increase in Transformational Leadership and Teacher Engagement will contribute to an increase in Education Quality Improvement, while maintaining other variables remain constant. The regression coefficient for Transformational Leadership is 0.58, while for Teacher Engagement it is 0.42, indicating the relative magnitude of the impact of each independent variable on the dependent variable. In addition, the R Square value of 0.46 indicates that Transformational Leadership and Teacher Involvement together are able to explain 46% of the variation in Improving the Quality of Education. This confirms that the independent variables studied have a significant relationship with the dependent variable, and that these variables effectively explain the variations that occur in improving the quality of education. It is hoped that the results of this research will provide a deeper understanding of the important role of the principal's transformational leadership and teacher involvement in improving the quality of education at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 2 Al-Yasini Pasuruan
