In today's society, educators have taken on increasingly vital and expansive role. This shift in perception has led to the recognition that pre-service teachers enrolled in teacher preparation programs possess the potential to assume leadership positions. While numerous researchers have explored, few have undertaken a systematic literature review (SLR) on this subject. This research aims to address this gap by compiling comprehensive review of recent studies on pre-service teacher leadership published in journals between 2020 and 2023. Through theoretical analysis, the study synthesis sought to identify emerging research trends and generate novel insights into pre-service teacher leadership. The PRISMA writing standard (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) was employed as framework for SLR composition. The review utilized two primary databases, Web of Science and Scopus, to source relevant articles and materials. From initial pool of 733 articles, 22 were ultimately selected for analysis. Content analysis revealed five primary themes: "Teacher Development and Conceptions," "Curriculum Leadership and Teacher Education," "Women in Education and Leadership," "Leadership Styles and Teacher Impact," and "Mentoring and Professional Development." The findings highlight the dynamic nature of teacher education, emphasizing the necessity for programs to equip pre-service teachers with the skills to meet the evolving demands of modern classrooms and contribute meaningfully to national and societal objectives. The study's implications can serve as guide for pre-service teachers in preparing for more comprehensive planning and implementation of leadership in the future educational landscape.

This study examined the critical role of symbolism in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) as a tool for communicating complex statistical concepts and relationships. SEM employs a systematic framework of symbols, including latent variables (η), observed variables (y), factor loadings (λ), residuals (ζ), measurement errors (ε), and variance-covariance terms (Ψ and Θ), to represent theoretical constructs and their relationships. By analyzing these symbols, the study highlighted their importance in ensuring accurate model specification, enhancing interpretability, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. The visual and mathematical language of SEM was shown to bridge the gap between abstract theoretical frameworks and empirical data, enabling researchers to test hypotheses, evaluate relationships, and generate meaningful findings with precision and clarity. The study also underscored the need for a deeper understanding of these symbols to support robust and reliable statistical modeling. Future research should focus on expanding this symbolic framework to accommodate advanced methodologies, such as multilevel modeling and longitudinal SEM, to address the growing complexity of analytical challenges. This study contributes to empowering researchers by enhancing their ability to effectively use SEM for innovation and communication in statistical analysis.

English language learning management is a process of planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating English language learning activities aimed at creating a conducive and effective learning environment. This management involves the management of resources, teaching techniques, interactions between teachers and students, and monitoring students' language proficiency development. Therefore, English language learning management, particularly in remote areas, must be carried out effectively and efficiently to help students master both spoken and written English. This study aims to describe the condition of English language learning management at SMP Negeri 3 Numfor Barat, Biak Numfor Regency, Papua, with a focus on planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating the learning activities. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects include the headmaster, English teachers, and several students at SMP Negeri 3 Numfor Barat. The data were processed through stages of data collection, data presentation, data reduction, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the learning management functions implemented at SMP Negeri 3 Numfor Barat had not been carried out effectively and efficiently. These results can serve as a foundation for future research to develop a more contextual English language learning management model for junior high schools that aligns with the conditions and needs of schools in Papua.

Islamic boarding school-based schools, as traditional Islamic educational institutions, often face challenges in implementing a curriculum that is able to accommodate religious values while meeting the demands of increasingly modern national education. This study examines the differences in the direction of Islamic boarding schools and schools that emerge in relation to Islamic boarding school-based school curriculum policies at Az-Zainiyah Nahdatul Wathan Middle School. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection and data processing techniques using Miles and Huberman. There is a case analysis to identify and analyze impacts and analyze decision-making policies at Az-Zainiyah Nahdatul Wathan Middle School. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with Islamic boarding school managers, school principals and 5 students, and 3 parents. Apart from that, observations and documentation were also carried out to collect phenomena related to the impact of curriculum policies on students' personal and social development. The results of this research indicate that there is an ethical dilemma in decision making that must consider the balance between educational innovation and respect for tradition, as well as the importance of involving various parties, including the community and local stakeholders, in formulating more inclusive and ethical policies. It is hoped that this study will provide insight into improving policies at Az-Zainiyah Nahdatul Wathan Middle School, taking into account the demands of an independent curriculum and religious values, human rights and social justice. Ethical dilemmas arise in several aspects, including: first, the tension between maintaining the traditional values of Islamic boarding schools and integration with a more secular, independent curriculum. Second, the difference between policies set by the government and the specific culture of Islamic boarding schools. Third, there is an impact on the implementation of the independent curriculum in schools which has not been optimal.
