Abstract

This study examined the influence of Information Technology (IT) integration and School-Based Management (SBM) on the quality of education at SDN 8 Rantau Bayur. Previous research has demonstrated that digital competence, technology leadership, and decentralized school governance contribute to school effectiveness; however, empirical evidence examining the combined effect of IT and SBM at the primary school level remains limited, particularly in rural contexts. This study employed a quantitative survey design involving teachers and school administrators. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to determine both partial and simultaneous effects. The findings indicated that IT integration significantly improved instructional effectiveness and administrative efficiency, while SBM strengthened participatory decision-making and institutional accountability. Simultaneously, both variables contributed positively and significantly to overall educational quality. The study highlighted the importance of integrating technological readiness with structured school governance to achieve sustainable school improvement.
