Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of organizational culture, leadership behavior, and job satisfaction on the work productivity of kindergarten teachers in Binjai City. Using a quantitative research approach, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 120 teachers across several early childhood education institutions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability tests, and multiple regression analysis. The results revealed that all three independent variables significantly affect teacher productivity, both partially and simultaneously. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.726 indicates that 72.6% of productivity variation is explained by these factors, while job satisfaction emerged as the most dominant variable. The findings suggest that a strong organizational culture promotes discipline and cooperation, effective leadership encourages motivation and commitment, and job satisfaction enhances enthusiasm and performance. Overall, the synergy among these three aspects creates a conducive and productive educational environment for early childhood teachers. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening organizational culture, applying transformational leadership, and improving job satisfaction to optimize teacher productivity in early education institutions.

Abstract

Abstrak Integrasi kecerdasan buatan (AI) semakin memengaruhi praktik pembelajaran di pendidikan tinggi, baik dalam efektivitas pedagogis maupun dinamika interaksi akademik. Penelitian ini menganalisis bagaimana dosen di Indonesia dan Malaysia memaknai serta mempraktikkan penggunaan AI, sekaligus mengidentifikasi faktor yang membentuk persamaan dan perbedaannya. Pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain comparative case study digunakan, melibatkan 30 dosen melalui survei naratif dan wawancara semi-terstruktur. Data dianalisis menggunakan Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) dan analisis tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa AI dipandang sebagai alat yang meningkatkan efisiensi kerja akademik dan mendukung pengembangan materi pembelajaran. Namun, muncul kekhawatiran mengenai ketergantungan mahasiswa, penurunan kemampuan berpikir kritis, serta akurasi keluaran AI. Perbedaan antarnegara terlihat pada kedalaman integrasi: dosen Malaysia cenderung lebih intensif memanfaatkan AI dalam aktivitas pembelajaran, sedangkan dosen Indonesia lebih berhati-hati dan menekankan verifikasi manual. Faktor kebijakan institusional, literasi digital, dan budaya akademik turut membentuk variasi tersebut. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya kebijakan penggunaan AI yang jelas serta penguatan literasi etis bagi dosen dan mahasiswa. Kata kunci: analisis fenomenologi interpretatif (IPA), dosen, kecerdasan buatan, pendidikan tinggi Abstract The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing learning practices in higher education, both in pedagogical effectiveness and in the dynamics of academic interaction. This study analyzes how lecturers in Indonesia and Malaysia interpret and practice the use of AI while identifying factors that form similarities and differences. A qualitative approach with a comparative case study design was used, involving 30 lecturers through narrative surveys and semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and thematic analysis. The results show that AI is considered a tool that improves the efficiency of academic work and supports the development of learning materials. However, there are concerns about student dependency, decreased critical thinking skills, and the accuracy of AI output. Differences between countries can be seen in the depth of integration: Malaysian lecturers tend to use AI more intensively in learning activities, while Indonesian lecturers are more cautious and emphasize manual verification. Institutional policy factors, digital literacy, and academic culture also influence these variations. The findings emphasize the value of developing clear AI policies and strengthening ethical literacy for faculty and students. Keywords: artificial intelligence, higher education, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA)

Abstract

This multisite qualitative study explores the transformation of human resources at two Islamic educational institutions under Al-Jam’iyatul Washliyah: MAS Muallimin UNIVA Medan and MAS Al-Washliyah 12 Perbaungan. Using interviews, observation, documentation analysis, and institutional records, the research examines four core dimensions: the existing condition of human resources, the strategies employed to enhance teacher and staff capacity, the forms of transformation that strengthen performance and technological adaptation, and the institutional approaches used to navigate challenges and internal resistance. Findings show that both schools possess solid foundational structures adequate staffing in core subjects, strong collegial culture, and policies aligned with institutional values yet face persistent issues such as uneven workload distribution, limited welfare support, generational gaps in digital competence, and inconsistent data governance. Human resource transformation is driven through competency-based development, value-oriented recruitment, technology-assisted administration, and intergenerational mentoring, all supported by persuasive, participatory leadership rooted in Islamic ethics. The study concludes that sustainable transformation requires integrated strategies that merge professional capacity building, digital modernization, and reinforcement of religious identity. These findings contribute a novel hybrid model of HR development for Islamic educational institutions in contemporary contexts.

Abstract

This study addresses the lack of integration of character values in teaching materials for the Learning Media course in Islamic Religious Education, the limited availability of character-based resources, and the less-than-optimal holistic learning experience for prospective educators. The purpose of the research is to develop teaching materials based on character values for this course. The study applies a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, involving third-semester students of Islamic Religious Education at Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara. Data collection techniques include expert validation, observation, and statistical analysis using a t-test and N-Gain. The results indicate that the developed teaching materials are effective. The t-test analysis yields a t-value of 6.01, which exceeds the t-table value of 1.69 at the 0.05 significance level, indicating that the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. This confirms a significant difference in student learning outcomes before and after using the developed materials. Furthermore, the N-Gain score of 0.88 is categorized as high, indicating a strong improvement in learning achievement. Student learning activities featured active participation, task completion, and group discussions, while lecturers primarily served as facilitators and explainers of material. In conclusion, the development of character-based teaching materials significantly improves student learning outcomes and is effective. This research is significant for enhancing educational quality, strengthening student character, and providing an innovative teaching material model that can be adapted to other higher education courses in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

This study examines the limitations in the integration of tawhid-based decision making, leadership behavior, and communication style in improving the performance of madrasah principals, which has so far been analyzed partially and has not been comprehensively addressed. The study aims to empirically analyze the partial and simultaneous effects of tawhid-based decision making, leadership behavior, and communication style on the performance of principals of State Islamic Senior High Schools (MAN) in Medan. A quantitative ex post facto correlational study was conducted at MAN 1, MAN 2, and MAN 3 Medan with a sample of 60 respondents. Data were collected using valid and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that tawhid-based decision-making has a positive and significant effect on madrasah principal performance, with a coefficient of 0.365 and a significance value of 0.005. In contrast, leadership behavior is not significant, with a coefficient of 0.022 and a significance value of 0.872. Communication style is the most dominant variable, with a coefficient of 0.479 and a significance value of 0.000. Simultaneously, the three variables have a significant effect, with an F value of 19.583 and an R² of 0.512. The performance of madrasah principals is significantly influenced by tawhid-based decision-making and communication style, with communication being the dominant factor. This study strengthens Islamic leadership theory and provides practical implications for improving performance through the integration of spiritual values and effective communication.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of leadership behavior, quality of work life, and work motivation on lecturer performance at IAIN Takengon. Using a quantitative ex post facto research design, data were collected from 97 lecturers through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and path analysis. The results indicate that leadership behavior and quality of work life have significant direct effects on both work motivation and lecturer performance. Work motivation emerges as the strongest predictor of lecturer performance and also functions as a significant mediating variable in the relationships between leadership behavior and performance, as well as between quality of work life and performance. The simultaneous analysis shows that leadership behavior, quality of work life, and work motivation jointly explain a substantial proportion of the variance in lecturer performance. These findings highlight the importance of effective leadership practices, supportive working conditions, and sustained motivation in enhancing lecturer performance in higher education institutions. The study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence of an integrated model that explains lecturer performance through the interaction of organizational and psychological factors within the context of Islamic higher education

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study investigates teacher quality management in Integrated Islamic Kindergartens in Central Aceh Regency by examining the processes of planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision across Islamic Kindergartens. Methodology: Using a qualitative multisite approach, data were gathered through interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed through systematic data condensation, display, and verification. Main Findings: The findings show that quality planning is guided by a synergy between institutional vision, mission, motto, and objectives with national education standards and JSIT (Jaringan Sekolah Islam Terpadu) guidelines, resulting in a balanced emphasis on academic competence, professional skills, and spiritual formation. Organizational quality is sustained through transparent structures, measurable task distribution, coordinated teamwork, and standardized operating procedures. Recruitment applies competency-based selection enriched with Islamic values, prioritizing Qur’anic mastery, character integrity, pedagogical expertise, and emotional maturity. Teacher development is implemented through Islamic andragogy, integrating professional training with spiritual nurturing via halaqah, mentoring, and routine religious studies. Supervision adopts a holistic model that evaluates academic performance, pedagogical practice, and spiritual consistency to ensure continuous improvement. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in the formulation of a hybrid teacher quality management model that fuses national quality assurance frameworks with JSIT principles, positioning moral goodness as the foundation, pedagogical quality as the institutional output, and educational excellence as the long-term goal. This model offers a new theoretical framework and practical reference for enhancing teacher quality in faith-based early childhood education institutions.
