EKSPLORASI PERAN KEPEMIMPINAN KEPALA SEKOLAH DAN KOORDINATOR KOMUNITAS BELAJAR DALAM PEMBELAJARAN KOLEKTIF GURU: STUDI KASUS DI SEBUAH SEKOLAH DASAR SWASTA, KOTA BITUNG
Abstract
This study examines how the principal and the teacher learning community (Kombel) coordinator facilitate collective teacher learning at a private elementary school (referred to as SD XYZ) in Bitung City, North Sulawesi. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from nine informants — the principal, the coordinator, and seven teachers — through semi-structured in-depth interviews and open-ended questionnaires. Data analysis followed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña procedure, yielding eight major themes. Findings show that teacher collaboration unfolds dynamically, shaped by a strong sense of community rooted in local collectivist cultural values. Supportive leadership, mutual trust, and mutual cooperation (gotong royong) emerge as the factors informants associate with the initiative's continuity, while a heavy administrative workload remains the primary obstacle they report. The study concludes that, from the informants' perspective, a sense of togetherness integrated with local cultural values appears to strengthen teacher collaboration and to contribute to a more collaborative learning culture.
Penelitian ini mengkaji bagaimana kepala sekolah dan koordinator komunitas belajar (KOMBEL) memfasilitasi pembelajaran kolektif guru di sebuah sekolah dasar swasta (disebut SD XYZ) di Kota Bitung, Sulawesi Utara. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif studi kasus, data dikumpulkan dari sembilan narasumber — kepala sekolah, koordinator, dan tujuh guru — melalui wawancara mendalam semi-terstruktur dan kuesioner terbuka. Analisis data mengikuti prosedur Miles, Huberman, dan Saldaña, menghasilkan delapan tema utama. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa kerja sama guru berjalan secara dinamis, dibentuk oleh rasa kebersamaan yang berakar pada nilai budaya kolektivis setempat. Kepemimpinan yang suportif, rasa saling percaya, dan nilai gotong royong muncul sebagai faktor yang, menurut persepsi informan, berkaitan dengan keberlanjutan inisiatif ini, sementara beban administrasi yang berat tetap menjadi hambatan utama yang mereka laporkan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa, dari sudut pandang informan, ikatan kebersamaan yang menyatu dengan nilai budaya lokal berkontribusi memperkuat kolaborasi guru dan mendorong terbentuknya budaya belajar yang lebih kolaboratif.
