Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of educational management in improving the effectiveness of learning in schools. Educational management plays a crucial role in organizing, managing, and optimizing all educational components to ensure that the learning process runs effectively and efficiently. In this context, learning effectiveness is not only measured by students' academic achievement but also by student engagement, the quality of classroom interaction, and teachers’ ability to manage the learning process. Therefore, systematic and well-directed management through core functions such as planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating is essential. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method to obtain an in-depth understanding of the implementation of educational management in schools. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving school principals, teachers, and educational staff. The data are analyzed using an interactive analysis model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. This approach is chosen to comprehensively reveal the phenomena related to educational management practices and their impact on learning effectiveness in the school environment. The findings of this study indicate that well-implemented educational management significantly enhances learning effectiveness. This is reflected in improved lesson planning, increased student participation, and the creation of a conducive learning environment. Furthermore, visionary school leadership and teachers’ ability to implement innovative teaching strategies are key supporting factors. Thus, strengthening educational management is a strategic effort to improve the quality and effectiveness of learning in schools.
