Schools require skilled principals with exceptional abilities, since they play a strategic role in achieving quality of national education through effective administration and a competitive culture. The rapid and spontaneous execution of quality education necessitates the precise delineation of concepts, principles, and procedures within appropriate frameworks and methodologies. Consequently, pursuant to the Regulation of the Minister of National Education Number 13 of 2007 regarding the Competency Standards for School/Madrasah Principals, a principal must fulfill various competency standards, encompassing personality, managerial, entrepreneurial, supervisory, and social competencies. According to the most recent data from the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbu. of the Republic of Indonesia, the 2019 Principal Competency Test yielded scores of 57. 93 in entrepreneurial competency, 51. in supervisory competency, and 58. 05 in management competency. The managerial competency . , supervisory competency . , and entrepreneurial competency . of school principals in Aceh Province remain below the national average. 6 Additional sources cite the outcomes of the 2015 UUKS for secondary education . , middle school . , and primary education . in the domains of leadership, entrepreneurship, management, and supervisory learning.

Education and training must be fundamental components of human culture and embody humanitarian principles. 7 According to Vygotsky, culture embraced and valued by the society can facilitate an individual's learning and growth. Training in Aceh Province predominantly remains conventional, particularly among principals, as training activities fail to incorporate local culture and the surrounding environment, contrary to the independent learning In this setting, instructors must foster collaborative learning among students by posing innovative questions regarding concepts and challenges in 9 This technique is essential for establishing a robust academic foundation to enhance intelligence, including comprehension, empathy, and communication abilities. The preliminary research reveals multiple core issues in the growth of school administrators in South Aceh Regency. Aceh Province. Indonesia. Included are traditional primary training, reliance on standard textbooks as instructional resources, a predominance of lecture-based methodologies in training, and a deficiency in participant motivation. The literature indicates that the training received by principals predominantly employs traditional methods rather than a culture-based learning model. the instructional material is primarily textual, leading most participants to memorize the content. The significance of culture is substantial in shaping a nation's civilization and addressing social issues, including those related to education. 11 Culturally relevant training helps address educational challenges.

They must meticulously safeguard the indigenous peoples' local culture for posterity. 12 Consequently, the transmission of regional culture across generations is of paramount significance. Local wisdom is increasingly acknowledged and valued throughout all aspects of life, including education and training, as evidenced by previous studies undertaken by scholars. 13 They recognize the existence of these values inside the local culture. The utilization of external training models, which are periodically modified, can occasionally render participants inert due to the intricate nature of fostering positive relationships among participants, their peers, and instructors. Participants have thus far received concepts and principles of learning in a readily accessible format and are unaccustomed to problem-solving and deriving knowledge from their cultural context. Instructors exhibit increased confidence in effectively educating learners due to prior experiences. In training exercises, participants exhibit reluctance to inquire of instructors and peers, despite receiving support and motivation. 15 Capable participants favor solitary work and promptly consult the instructor when encountering difficulties, without sharing the outcomes of their group talks. Initiatives to enhance the principal's proficiency are conducted via training programs rooted in local culture. Implementing training is an effective Cocks. Vetter & K. Wiersum.

An effective training program offers strategies for principals to maintain competence and adapt to organizational change. Peters and Waterman contend that organizational transformation, broadly defined, may be achieved through training programs. Moreover. Stewart asserts that the training function plays a role in facilitating organizational change. The purpose of training outcomes is to enable leaders to enhance their competencies in managing change by equipping them with skills, utilizing the change process, and assessing staff needs to elevate their capabilities . nowledge, skills, and attitude. for improved The Acehnese culture, characterized by a social system that emphasizes meupakat . and dialogue, embodies a philosophy of togetherness. This value system, which includes proper conduct, such as shaking hands with the right hand and ancestral teachings, is deemed essential for implementation in training activities. 18 Integrating Acehnese culture with its training methodology will instill positive cultural values in participants, enhance knowledge, and elevate participants' capabilities in preserving their identity amidst globalization. Consequently, researchers deem it essential to establish a training model rooted in the local "seulangke" culture of Aceh and the Jigsaw Learning Model to enhance the competencies of high school principals in South Aceh Regency.

This research employs a qualitative methodology with a cultural This paper employs a pre-experimental design characterized by a one-shot case study with 27 school principals in South Aceh.

An appropriate research methodology is essential for elucidating the necessary activities to be undertaken and the associated challenges. The methodology of the study, determined by the data's nature, encompasses a quantitative approach wherein the obtained data is represented as statistical The research was carried out in 2023 and included 27 principals from State Junior High Schools in South Aceh Regency. The Seulangky Model in the Acehnese Culture Seulangky is a distinctive and revered cultural practice embraced by the Acehnese community. Seulangky is a matchmaker in the Acehnese society who serves as an intermediary. The Seulangky must possess knowledge of matrimonial customs and exhibits wisdom, authority, influence, and obedience to qualify as a potential suitor. 21 The primary duty of a Seulangky in daily life is to act as a mediator between two parties to facilitate their harmonious union. Consequently. Seulangky frequently negotiates demands including dowry, the backgrounds of the prospective bride and groom, and the wedding procession. To be designated as Seulangky, an individual must possess at least six attributes: self-confidence, the ability to captivate attention, proficiency in meulego, beuhy kok reusiko, and seumiky u keuy. A Seulangky is deemed innovative if he have a well-developed strategy to cultivate robust relationships with all stakeholders and successfully execute it. Seulangky is not only found in the province of Aceh in Indonesia. It is also found in other provinces in Indonesia, although with different names. As an illustration, it is called "Talamgkai" in Anuek Suku Jamee,"23 the term, "Parnakon Hata" in the Batak language of the Tabo Tribe, the term "Pangadek" in the Madurese tribe,24 the term "Ana Kuni" in the Pesisir tribe of the Ende Sugiyono.

The matchmaking function may be perceived as rather formal in certain For instance, the Ashkenazi Jewish Shadchan and Hindu astrologers are frequently regarded as significant advisors who assist in identifying suitable partners due to their strong relationships and connections with families. Astrologers frequently assert that celestial bodies bless marriage that receive parental approval in societies where marriage is a prevalent institution. 29 This facilitates prompt refusals from hesitant children and streamlines the collection process for fortune tellers. 30 Certain matchmakers incorporate tarot divination into their practices. Indeed, predicting the influence of an individual in a society lacking matchmaking requirements is challenging, especially when the acceptance of male applicants is largely influenced by economic considerations. They are limited to affecting the tempo of a pre-established relationship. They could be engaging with competitors, allies, or other relevant entities. The structure of the Acehnese society has undergone significant structural changes since the beginning of the reform era and openness. The method of matchmaking has also changed due to the impact of modernization on the society. 31 Modern online dating services are just one of many examples of dating systems where technology is used almost like a magical miracle with the ability to bring happiness. In this case, matchmakers operate on the belief that romantic love is a basic human right. These services often use personality tests to identify the most suitable partners, although genetic factors have also been For example.

Online dating has undergone radical changes since the internet era began. 32 With most of its users in their 20s and 30s and mostly single, one of China's most popular dating sites has amassed up to 60 million records. 33 Increasingly, internet dating in America will complement rather than replace the traditional function of friends and family as intermediaries and go-betweens.

In essence, local wisdom is a set of principles that regulate how a community behaves. 38 Therefore, in order to protect and monitor the lives of local communities, the community has understood and adopted these values as local principles. In other words, training management is related to local wisdom and values. Management training based on the experience, knowledge, and beliefs of the community is a manifestation of this relationship. All forms of knowledge and intelligence, beliefs, insights, traditions, ethics, and training management methods that are proven to contain local wisdom and values. Local communities also adapt to the environment by carefully analyzing environmental factors and creating unique adaptation patterns through the development of environmental wisdom that is manifested in traditional values, cultural norms, and rituals that are beneficial to their way of life. 39 This is because all types of local wisdom are internalized, practiced, taught, and passed down from generation to generation while still paying attention to community norms and the perceptions of the surrounding community. Symbolic values, aesthetic values, educational values, knowledge, and value systems all reflect the realization of what is intended. Many researchers who study local culture have a strategic role, the values of local wisdom play an important role and contribute to educational management strategies, although these values must become stronger over time. Local wisdom has soft skills and moral principles that regulate behavior and have an impact on individual and group accountability. 41 Other research findings that community behavior in managing the natural environment is closely related to community understanding of customary law, doctrine, and customary language that contains norms, rules, and prohibitions to control community behavior with nature, support this. Most studies examine culture, wisdom, and local values in environmental protection. However, only a few studies examine how local culture and its values can be incorporated into the training process. It is important to identify areas where cultural values and knowledge from the local area are useful in the training process. Thus, the use of local wisdom cannot be Sufia, et.

Based on the normality of the pretest data of 0. 146 is greater than 0. the data is normally distributed. So, the Seulangky model data is normally Homogeneity Test of Jigsaw Model and MPKS-Seulangky Model The results of the homogeneity test calculation using the Anova test can be seen in the following table: Table 4. 7 Homogenity Test ANOVA Sum of Squares PRE TEST POST TEST Mean Square Betweem Groups Within Group Total Between Groups Within Group Total Source: Research Findings of 2023 Table 4. 7 Homogeneity Test Based on the table above, it can be understood that the Sign value of 0. 885 is greater than the probability value of 5% = 0. 006, meaning that the data is homogeneous and has the same variance between the two groups. Hypothesis Testing The data were analyzed using the t-test formula. This t-test aims to determine whether there is a difference in final ability between the two groups by testing the average post-test achievement in each group. The results of the ttest have been analyzed by researchers using the SPSS application. version 23, and can be seen in the following table below. Table 4. 8 Hypothesis Testing Independent Sample Test Levene for Equality of Variance POST TEST Equal Variances Assumed uji-t For Equality of Means Signature SeulangkN as a Model for Enhancing Principal Competence in South Aceh Maidar, et. DOI:10. 22373/sjhk. Equal Variances Assumed Source: Research Finding of 2023 Table 4. 8 Hypothesis Testing Based on Table 4. 8 above, the calculated t value is -2. 877 and the calculated sig. Since p value 0. 05> sig. 2 tailed 019, it can be concluded that experimental class A (Jigsaw Mode. and experimental class (Seulangky Mode. have different learning outcomes on the theme of Entrepreneurship Competence. Experimental class A has poorer learning outcomes compared to experimental class B. Thus, the average learning outcome of experimental class A is 69. 63, while in experimental group B the average learning outcome is 69. 00 These results indicate that the two classes have significant differences. Based on the comparison of t-count and t-table, it can be understood that: If t-count is within the table range, then H0 is accepted If t-count is outside the table range, then H0 is rejected The calculated t output is -2. 887, and the statistical table indicates a significance level of 5% or a 95% confidence interval with 52 degrees of freedom. If the calculated t at Ho is rejected, it can be concluded that the learning outcomes of participants in experimental class A and experimental class B regarding entrepreneurial competence are not the same or significantly different. This indicates a difference in the learning outcomes of participants following their entrepreneurship education. The theme of competence is notably effective. Effectiveness of Seulangky Model and Principal Competence Improvement This study is driven by the inadequate skills of principals at the junior high school (SMP) level in South Aceh Regency. Indonesia. Furthermore, participants exhibit a lack of pride in and appreciation for local cultures. Field conditions suggest that the actions of principals in fulfilling their responsibilities do not align with the objectives outlined in the Regulation of the Minister of National Education Number 13 of 2007. The ongoing training for SMP Negeri principals in South Aceh lacks the incorporation of cultural elements in its This omission hinders the optimization of participants' mental functions, including their grasp of concepts and problem-solving abilities. addition, it does not leverage social interaction patterns to engage participants actively in the reconstruction of knowledge derived from local facts and culture. The effort made to overcome this problem is to develop a Seulangkybased principal training model in the context of valid, practical and effective Acehnese culture. This training model is used as a guideline for principals to be SeulangkN as a Model for Enhancing Principal Competence in South Aceh Maidar, et. DOI:10. 22373/sjhk. able to help, develop and solve problems they face in the field, so that they can become more independent. Conclusion The application of the training model using experimental class A (Jigsaw Mode. and experiment B (Seulangky-based Mode. gave different average In the Seulangky model, the learning outcomes of participants were higher, because there was freedom for participants to choose problems. Based on its characteristics, the Seulangky model begins with problems that can be raised by participants in the training, and then participants deepen their knowledge about what they already know and what they need to know in order to solve the problems they will choose. In addition, participants can also choose problems that are considered interesting to solve, thus encouraging them to play an active role in training activities. References
