    Attraction of Authority: The Indonesian Experience of Educational Decentralization
    (Springer, 2023-07-14) Bambang Sumintono; Hasan Hariri; Umi Anugerah Izzati
    The fall of the New Order government in 1998 changed the landscape of Indonesian education from a highly centralized system to a decentralized one. With this paradigm shift, district governments received a transfer of power in most public sectors in 2001, including education. The central questions in this chapter are: (1) How has Indonesia managed education in the decentralization era? and (2) How has the country managed the changes so far? Four key issues are discussed, namely, new regime of standardization, school operational cost, teachers and principals, and National Exam. We argue that Indonesian educational decentralization has mostly been about legitimacy and authority dialectics between local/district and central institutions. Moving from a highly centralized system to a more locally oriented one contests the legitimacy of each actor involved, resulting in competition for resources and survival. Nevertheless, we also identified some advances in terms of social justice and student learning support in this process of decentralization.

    Islamic educational leadership: Southeast Asia perspectives
    (Routledge, 2023-02-10) Bambang Sumintono; Erika Setyanti Kusumaputri; Hasan Hariri; Yudi Juniardi
    This chapter explains the emerging landscape of educational leadership knowledge based in the Southeast Asia region, which is usually called the Muslim archipelago. Historical, political and socio-cultural forces form a unique Islamic identity in this region, which resulted in different practices and thinking about Islamic educational leadership. Based on empirical and theoretical perspectives from peer-reviewed journal articles, the study has found that different countries in this region have salient emphasis. The influence of Western theories still has an effect, at the same time, each country was trying to formulate unique Islamic thinking about educational leadership, whereas each country’s development situation also reflecting kind of Islamic educational leadership is practiced in their school institutions.

    Profile of Teacher Leaders in an Indonesian School Context: How the Teachers Perceive Themselves
    (Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2023-12-29) Hasan Hariri; Hamid Mukhlis; Bambang Sumintono
    Teacher leaders play an important role in advancing learning in schools. However, this theme is under- researched, particularly in the Indonesian school context. This study investigated how Indonesian teachers rate themselves as being teacher leaders using the Teacher Leadership Self-Assessment (TLSA) instrument with a quantitative approach. The data was collected from 3,564 teachers from Lampung Province, Indonesia, with a cross-sectional method using an online platform. The collected data was analysed using the Rasch Analysis approach and showed good reliability and validity for the TLSA instrument as well as the Indonesian data. The findings showed that Indonesian teachers perceived themselves as having high levels of teacher leadership, but at the same time, the behaviours under the construct of communication were rarely engaged in and was thus identified as an area for improvement. Meanwhile, in terms of perceiving themselves as teacher leaders, the senior teachers, and those with more working experience were more significantly different in many constructs compared to the other demographic variables. The implications of this study suggest that there is still room to enhance teacher leadership by identifying the constructs and considering the teachers’ demographic variables.

    School Leadership and Indonesian Culture: Revealing the Local Knowledge Development in Post-New Order Indonesia
    (Routledge, 2023-08-11) Bambang Sumintono; Hasan Hariri; Erika Setyanti Kusumaputri
    The debacle of Soeharto's regime has opened up reformation and democratisation in Indonesia. Many structural changes like educational decentralisation, school-based management, and principal preparation training have been made in the education sector since 2001. Research on educational leadership and management (ELAM) has also flourished since academicians and researchers were required to meet journal publication requirements in the 2010s. This chapter consists of a systematic review of ELAM research in the Indonesian context that appears in the GARUDA database, a knowledge-based system of journal articles in the Indonesian language. This review aims to describe the Indonesian knowledge development in ELAM reflecting the Indonesian culture of school leadership. After the selection and sorting stages, 119 journal articles published from 2001 to 2021, and written in the Indonesian language, were reviewed. The review found variations in terms of knowledge production, including different type of articles, methodological approaches, leadership theories, school levels, and research topics. The findings indicate that the development of the Indonesian ELAM knowledge base is promising and more productive compared to the previous era, but capacity development is still needed.
