The Role of Teachers in Assisting the Principal with Educational Administrative Management

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of teachers in assisting the principal to manage educational administration at SD Al-Mukmin, Percut Sei Tuan, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal and teachers, systematic observation, and a closed Likert-scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana's interactive model. Results show that teachers play active roles in five administrative dimensions: data management, report preparation, program planning participation, document maintenance, and collaborative decision-making. The average questionnaire score reached 3.40 out of 4, indicating a "Good" level of performance. Key challenges identified include time conflict between teaching and administrative duties, and uneven technology literacy among teachers. These findings underscore the need for administrative technology training and more systematic task distribution in elementary schools.
