Keywords:
Educational Administration, Innovations, Effective Learning EnvironmentsAbstract
In the context of modern education, the focus is on the success of creating an effective learning environment in primary schools (SD) through innovation in educational administration. Despite recognition of the importance of innovation, there is a significant gap between theory and implementation practice in this area. The aim of this research is to investigate the role of innovation in overcoming these challenges and improving the effectiveness of learning environments in elementary schools. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. SDN 1 Banding Agung was selected as a population sample based on the demographic diversity and academic achievements of students and school staff. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with principals, teachers, and administrators, as well as direct classroom observations and analysis of school documents. This research shows that the introduction of innovation in educational administration plays an important role in creating an effective learning environment. Strong leadership, active collaboration between all stakeholders, and the use of educational technology are key factors in improving the quality of learning. In short, this research provides evidence of the importance of innovative strategies in educational administration to improve the conditions of the learning environment in elementary schools. These findings in practice mean the need for ongoing support to build the capacity of educators and school administrators to adopt best practices. Future research could further explore the challenges and opportunities in implementing innovations in various educational settings.
