Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the role of interpersonal communication and problem-solving strategies in improving the performance of foster parents in Islamic boarding schools. The main problem raised is the lack of effectiveness of foster parents due to communication barriers and internal conflict resolution. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method at the Nurul Jadid Islamic Boarding School in the Ar Rumi area. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observations of kyai, foster parents, and students. The results of the study indicate that the pattern of interpersonal communication between kyai and foster parents takes place in the form of routine and structured two-way interactions, with kyai as the provider of direction and foster parents as the reporter. Problem solving strategies through mediation and counseling have proven effective in creating a harmonious foster atmosphere. In conclusion, good interpersonal communication and the right problem solving approach significantly improve the readiness and performance of foster parents in fostering students. This study contributes to strengthening the foster management system in the Islamic boarding school environment.

Abstract

The development of digital technology encourages educational institutions, including madrasas, to utilize digital platforms in building their brand image. This study aims to examine the role of digital media in building the brand image of Islamic-based madrasas, focusing on two madrasas that implement digital tahfidz and social media as branding strategies. The study uses a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and observations of the use of platforms such as YouTube and social media. The findings show that digital media is effective in introducing and strengthening the brand image of madrasas, increasing visibility, and attracting public interest. The support of madrasah policies and the use of technology by managers play an important role in the success of this digital branding. Overall, the results of this study indicate that the use of digital platforms can build a positive image of madrasas, expand audience reach, and increase the attractiveness of madrasas in the era of digital transformation. The contribution of this study is to provide an understanding of the importance of digital branding strategies for madrasas in improving their brand image.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of transformational leadership in shaping teacher readiness for the implementation of a centrally mandated e-Report system as part of digital education policy. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving school principals and teachers. The findings indicate that successful implementation of the e-Report system is not determined solely by technological readiness, but is strongly influenced by leadership practices that develop a shared vision, strengthen teacher commitment through motivation and organizational regulation, and enhance professional capacity through mentoring and role modeling. The study also reveals that organizational challenges, including technological limitations and disparities in digital literacy, are managed through open communication and adaptive, collaborative problem-solving strategies. Teacher readiness emerges as a form of professional awareness grounded in shared responsibility rather than mere administrative compliance. This study implies that transformational leadership functions as a critical mediating mechanism between top-down policy directives and school-level practice. It highlights the importance of relational, participatory, and context-sensitive leadership approaches in sustaining digital assessment reforms and strengthening educational governance.
