Abstract

This study aimed to explore, analyze, and elucidate scientific facts pertaining to the opportunities, obstacles, and solutions encountered by instructional leadership in school principals as they strive to foster literacy in elementary schools. An empirical research methodology, characterized by a qualitative descriptive approach, was employed at KKG Gugus I Singawinata in the Purwakarta Regency. Data were collected through interviews, documentation, and observation using data collection tools, such as interview guidelines, documentation checklist sheets, and observation sheets. Interviews were conducted with various stakeholders including supervisors, school principals, KKG chairs, teachers, parents, committees, and students. Observations were conducted to objectively monitor and analyze instructional leadership processes and literacy programs. The collected data were then analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques and triangulation to ensure the reliability and sustainability of the data. The research team supervised and guided the data collection process and cross-referenced information from interviews, documentation, and observations. SWOT analysis was also utilized to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with school literacy in relation to the role of school principals’ instructional leadership. The expected outcomes of this study include a deeper comprehension of the dynamics of instructional leadership within the context of literacy development at the elementary level, thus providing a basis for policy improvement and educational practices.
