Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore some selected constructs as explanatory factors for improving instructional activities at Junior Secondary Schools (JSS). Teachers from 34 JSS at four provinces in Central Indonesia provided data by filling out questionnaires. The modeling of regression analysis affirmed that training benefits, remedial teaching, teaching evaluation, and school climate were effective independent factors. However, the teacher professionalism, teaching plan, and classroom climate were not significant. Motivation for doing remedial teaching had the highest 12.1% contribution for the successful active instruction. The study attempted to enhance quality assurance of the teaching practices at schools in Indonesia.
