Abstract

International community service (ICS) is increasingly recognized as an effective approach for strengthening students’ global and intercultural competence. This study examined the impact of an ICS program conducted between State Islamic University of Kiai Ageng Muhammad Besari Ponorogo and Madrasah Utsmaniyah ABIM Penang, Malaysia, on students’ intercultural communication competence (ICC) and soft skills. Employing a mixed-methods convergent design, the study involved 12 participating students, faculty supervisors, ABIM coordinators, and local community leaders. Quantitative data were obtained through pre–post assessments using validated ICC and soft-skill scales, while qualitative data were collected through interviews, participant observation, and reflective journals. The findings indicate significant improvement across all ICC dimensions, including cultural awareness, sensitivity, communication skills, and reflective competence. Students also demonstrated notable enhancement in soft skills such as leadership, teamwork, adaptability, and empathy, supported by qualitative evidence of increased confidence, communicative flexibility, and ethical awareness during community engagement. Perspectives from supervisors and community stakeholders further corroborated the program’s effectiveness. Overall, the study highlights the value of culturally proximate international service-learning in fostering global competence within Islamic higher education and offers implications for developing sustainable cross-border community service initiatives in the ASEAN context.

Abstract

Effective financial management is a decisive factor in the sustainability and quality improvement of Islamic educational institutions. This study aims to analyze budgeting practices at Madrasah Aliyah “Al-Islam” Ponorogo, encompassing planning, implementation, monitoring, and accountability. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and document analysis, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles et al. (2014). The findings reveal that MA “Al-Islam” Ponorogo has implemented an RKAM-based budgeting system involving various stakeholders; however, challenges remain, including limited human resource capacity in financial management, high dependency on BOS (School Operational Assistance) funds, and suboptimal monitoring mechanisms. A distinctive finding of this study is that the value of amanah (trust) is internalized not merely as a moral slogan but as an operational safeguard: budget deliberations are opened with religious rituals and treated by informants as a form of worship, a practice perceived to strengthen honesty and reduce the temptation toward mark-up in procurement. This research contributes to the development of an integrative Islamic-values-based budgeting model for Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia.
