By bridging traditional textual analyses with multimedia communication, this study contributes to a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding teacher quality discourse in Indonesia, ultimately aiming to inform strategies for enhancing the quality of education and supporting teachers in their crucial role in shaping the future of Indonesian students.
