Abstract

Background: Improving learning quality in Islamic schools requires an approach oriented toward continuous improvement through simple, consistent, and structured habits. The Kaizen principle offers a quality enhancement framework that emphasizes continuous improvement through small, gradual, and sustainable refinements. Objective: This study aims to analyze the application of Kaizen principles in optimizing learning quality through student affairs programs at MTsN 4 Klaten. Method: The study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, descriptive data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Results: The improvement of learning quality was supported by habituation of discipline, cleanliness, religious activities, achievement development, and technology-based student progress monitoring. This implementation reflects Kaizen principles through process consistency, gradual improvement, data utilization, and continuous evaluation. However, program evaluation still needs strengthening, student involvement remains uneven, and program innovation needs to be developed to prevent stagnation. Conclusion: Kaizen principles can support the optimization of learning quality through systematic and sustainable management of student affairs programs. Contribution: This research contributes to strengthening the study of Islamic educational management and provides a practical overview of Kaizen application in improving learning quality in Islamic schools.
