Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh kepemimpinan transformasional dan literasi digital terhadap prestasi akademik siswa, baik secara langsung maupun melalui inovasi pembelajaran sebagai variabel intervening, pada Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri se-Kota Cilegon. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis penelitian eksplanatori. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner berskala Likert yang dibagikan kepada 155 guru yang dipilih dengan teknik proportional stratified random sampling dari populasi 259 guru pada lima SMA Negeri di Kota Cilegon. Data prestasi akademik diambil dari dokumentasi nilai rapor siswa kelas XI semester ganjil tahun ajaran 2025/2026. Analisis data dilakukan dengan pendekatan Structural Equation Modeling berbasis Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) menggunakan aplikasi SmartPLS 3, mencakup evaluasi model pengukuran, model struktural, dan uji bootstrapping. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan transformasional dan literasi digital berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap inovasi pembelajaran serta terhadap prestasi akademik. Inovasi pembelajaran juga terbukti berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap prestasi akademik dan mampu memediasi pengaruh kedua variabel independen terhadap prestasi akademik. Nilai R Square menunjukkan bahwa inovasi pembelajaran dijelaskan sebesar 77,1 persen oleh kepemimpinan transformasional dan literasi digital, sedangkan prestasi akademik dijelaskan sebesar 62,1 persen oleh ketiga variabel yang diteliti. Kepemimpinan transformasional kepala sekolah dan kemampuan literasi digital guru merupakan faktor penting yang mendorong terwujudnya inovasi pembelajaran, yang pada gilirannya turut meningkatkan prestasi akademik siswa di SMA Negeri se-Kota Cilegon. Penelitian ini hanya dilaksanakan pada lima SMA Negeri di satu wilayah kota sehingga temuannya belum tentu dapat digeneralisasikan pada konteks lain, dan pengukuran variabel bersifat persepsional melalui kuesioner sehingga tetap berpotensi mengandung bias subjektivitas responden. Penelitian ini memperkaya kajian manajemen pendidikan mengenai peran inovasi pembelajaran sebagai mekanisme penghubung antara kepemimpinan sekolah dan literasi digital dengan capaian belajar siswa, serta memberikan masukan praktis bagi kepala sekolah, guru, dan dinas pendidikan dalam merumuskan kebijakan peningkatan mutu pembelajaran di jenjang sekolah menengah atas.Downloads
