Abstract

This study investigates an issue or problem concerning the role of school principals in learning management. This study looked at cases in the form of events, learning processes, learning activities, learning programs, and assessment or evaluation of learning in a superior primary school (case study at a state primary school SD Negeri 2), Ternate City. The primary goal of this research is to describe the planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning in high-performing schools. A qualitative approach with case study research was used in this study. Data collection techniques included interviews with principals and teachers, observations to reveal the principal's role in learning management, and documentation to ensure learning management documents. Data reduction, presentation, and conclusion were used as data analysis techniques. Meanwhile, the data's validity was checked by extending the time and persistence of observation, using triangulation techniques, peer discussion, and referencing. According to the study findings, learning management at SD Negeri 2 and Ternate City includes planning, implementing, and evaluating stages. Thus, the superior school management has been successfully implemented in target schools; however, for long-term sustainability, the principal must continue to maintain and improve the quality of school management through periodic evaluations. These results also serve as a guideline for the city government to manage excellent schools to achieve superior learning quality.
