Abstract

This research is based on the urgency of strengthening life skills in madrasahs so that graduates excel academically and adapt to contemporary socio-techno-economic challenges. This study intends to analyze life skills-based leadership strategies to improve the quality of State Elementary Madrasah 01 Luwu and identify obstacles and their solutions. The design used is qualitative-descriptive with purposive selection of informants (madrasah principals, teachers, and students); data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation studies, and their credibility was tested through triangulation and member checks. The findings show leadership strategies that combine transformational, participatory, and situational characters—including teacher empowerment through training/collaboration, integration of life skills into the curriculum and contextual activities (e.g., “Cheerful Friday Market” and morning talk), and strengthening a character-oriented school culture. These strategies contribute to increased student self-confidence, discipline, responsibility, and participation, which impacts the quality of learning. The main obstacles include limited human resources and facilities, diverse parental support, a dense curriculum, and substandard life skills evaluations. Life skills-based leadership is effective in improving madrasah quality when implemented systematically, integrating curriculum, teacher development, school culture, and partnerships. Practical implications include the need for standardized life skills evaluations, teacher capacity building, and resource support. Further research is recommended to test this model comparatively across madrasahs and develop validated life skills assessment instruments.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze financial information systems, work productivity, and e-commerce on the performance of MSMEs. The approach in this study used a qualitative approach. The sources of informants were seven SMEs in the fields of food and clothing in Makassar City. Data collection techniques were carried out by interviewing informants and literature studies. The steps for the analysis technique used were data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The study results show that work productivity and e-commerce effectively support MSME activities to improve MSME performance. At the same time, the financial information system has not been implemented optimally, so MSME performance has not increased optimally. Some MSMEs have done computerized financial bookkeeping, but some MSMEs still do financial bookkeeping manually due to a lack of managerial knowledge and skills. The implications of this research are very important to help MSMEs identify opportunities and challenges by having a good financial information system that can optimize financial management, good productivity, and utilize e-commerce in their business.
