Abstract

This study examines the management of innovation initiation in Islamic education and its implications for strengthening madrasah competitiveness, using MAN 2 Tulungagung and MAN 2 Kota Kediri as multisite cases. While existing studies on Islamic educational innovation primarily focus on implementation and outcomes, the initiation phase of innovation remains underexplored, particularly in the context of madrasah management. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach within a naturalistic paradigm, this research explores how innovation initiation is strategically managed across three domains: curriculum, student development, and human resources (teachers). The findings indicate that innovation initiation is driven by benchmarking, internal awareness building, and systematic identification of student potential through psychological and talent–interest assessments. MAN 2 Tulungagung initiated innovation through talent-based superior classes and differentiated instruction aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum, supported by structured teacher development. In contrast, MAN 2 Kota Kediri adopted an integrative model that connects intrakurikuler, kokurikuler, and ekstrakurikuler programs through its “Red Carpet” philosophy, emphasizing holistic talent development and character formation. Across both sites, innovation initiation is characterized by collaborative decision-making, curriculum flexibility, professional learning communities, and strong leadership commitment. This study contributes novel insights by conceptualizing innovation initiation as a strategic managerial process that precedes implementation and directly shapes institutional competitiveness. It demonstrates that innovation initiation grounded in Islamic educational values functions as a foundational driver of academic excellence, institutional differentiation, and sustainable competitive advantage in contemporary madrasahs.

Abstract

The persistent dichotomy between scientific knowledge and religious understanding remains a major challenge in Islamic education, particularly in Natural Science learning, where integration is often limited to symbolic references rather than meaningful epistemological reconstruction. This study aimed to examine the process of epistemological transformation through the integration of science and religion in Natural Science learning at MTsN 3 Kediri and to develop a conceptual model that explains this transformation. A qualitative case study design was employed using classroom observations, semi structured interviews with the principal, Natural Science teachers, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and students, as well as document analysis. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis following the stages of data reduction, coding, categorization, interpretation, and verification using source and method triangulation to ensure credibility. The findings indicate that epistemological transformation occurs through three interrelated dimensions, namely conceptual integration, methodological integration, and practical integration. The integration process shifts the educational paradigm from a dichotomous perspective toward a complementary and dialogical relationship between science and religion, supported by visionary leadership, teacher competence, institutional commitment, and a pesantren based educational environment. Based on these findings, this study proposes an epistemological transformation model that integrates scientific inquiry with Islamic values within a holistic learning framework. The study contributes to the discourse on science and religion integration by providing empirical evidence that epistemological transformation can be operationalized through classroom practice, institutional culture, and educational leadership. The proposed model offers practical guidance for developing integrative science education in Islamic schools while extending the theoretical perspective on the integration of scientific and religious knowledge.
