Abstract

Education in Indonesia continues to transform with the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, which provides flexibility to tailor learning to the needs of students. Digital technology plays an important role in enhancing the quality of education and developing 21st-century skills. Despite challenges such as access gaps and teacher readiness, digital technology offers opportunities to create more interactive and relevant learning experiences. With the right support, madrasahs can leverage technology to prepare students for future challenges. The research method used is qualitative with a literature study. The findings of this research are as follows: digital technology has great potential to improve the quality of education in Madrasah Aliyah, especially with the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, which allows for more flexible, competency-based learning that aligns with technological developments. This provides opportunities for students to learn independently, creatively, and develop the 21st-century skills that are highly needed in the workforce. However, challenges in the implementation of digital technology include access gaps to infrastructure and resources, as well as the need to improve teachers' competencies in utilizing technology effectively. Nevertheless, the opportunities provided by digital technology are vast, in creating inclusive, adaptive, and data-driven learning, as well as supporting the holistic development of students' character. The Merdeka Curriculum plays a key role in encouraging the adoption of digital technology in madrasahs, offering the freedom to integrate technology according to local needs, and preparing students to face global challenges. With this policy, madrasahs can optimize technology to create more engaging, relevant, and impactful educational experiences that contribute to students' development in the future

Abstract

Education in Indonesia plays a crucial role in developing high-quality human resources, yet it continues to face major challenges related to quality, equity, and relevance to global needs. One affected sector is the madrasah, which is often perceived as lagging behind general schools, particularly in terms of quality management and resources. Total Quality Management (TQM) is an approach that can enhance the quality of education in madrasahs through continuous improvement in management, teaching, and evaluation. This study employs a qualitative method. The findings reveal that the implementation of TQM at MAN 2 Banyumas has led to significant transformations in both management and educational practices. Guided by the principle of continuous improvement, all elements of the madrasah are actively engaged in quality enhancement through planning, monitoring, and evaluation processes involving all stakeholders. A more participatory and collaborative leadership style has fostered open communication between the school and parents, strengthening an organizational culture that encourages active contributions from every individual. TQM has also improved the quality of teaching and curriculum—not only academically but also in the development of students’ life skills and character—through ongoing evaluation. Parental involvement in the learning process has been reinforced, fostering stronger ties between the madrasah and families. Furthermore, TQM in student services and management enables earlier problem identification and more effective solutions, resulting in a more holistic and meaningful learning experience.
