Abstract

This study analyzes how an Islamic-based academic guidance framework supports students’ access to state universities at MAN Ciwaringin. Persistent disparities between madrasah and general high school graduates indicate the need for guidance models that integrate academic preparation with the pedagogical principles of Islamic education. Using a qualitative case study design, data were gathered through interviews with students, counselors, and alumni, complemented by observations and program documentation. The analysis focuses on the interaction between structured academic coaching and value-oriented mentoring practices embedded in the school’s tarbiyah tradition. The findings show that the guidance model contributes to three main outcomes: improved understanding of university admission mechanisms, enhanced study strategies aligned with exam requirements, and stronger learning discipline shaped by ethical teacher–student relationships. Rather than functioning as motivational support, mentoring enables reflective planning and informed decision-making regarding university and major selection. The study demonstrates that access to higher education in Islamic schools is influenced not only by academic readiness but also by the coherence between guidance practices, institutional culture, and student support networks. Conceptually, this research contributes to Islamic education by showing how tarbiyah-informed mentoring can operate as a practical mechanism for narrowing access gaps in madrasah contexts.

Abstract

Background: Inclusive education has become a global priority, emphasizing equitable learning access for all children regardless of ability or background. However, many schools, including Islamic elementary schools (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah) in Indonesia, continue to face barriers stemming from limited teacher preparedness, unsupportive environments, and cultural resistance. These challenges highlight the need for leadership models that can transform inclusive policy into daily practice. Objective: This study aims to explore and develop a practical leadership model that strengthens inclusive school culture in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Indramayu, Indonesia. The model is positioned as a response to both global calls for inclusion and the local need to integrate inclusive values with Islamic educational principles. Method: Employing a qualitative multiple-case study combined with a design-based research (DBR) approach, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, classroom observations, and document analysis. Participants consisted of school principals, teachers, and parents, ensuring triangulation and comprehensive perspectives throughout all DBR cycles of analysis, design, implementation, evaluation, and refinement. Results:The study found that principals play a central role in demonstrating inclusive values through daily behavior, mentoring teachers, and encouraging collaboration with families and communities. Leadership practices such as participatory decision-making, adaptive policy enactment, and community engagement contributed significantly to the development of inclusive culture. Yet, practical challenges remained, including inadequate resources, limited training access, and varying levels of parental acceptance. Conclusion and Contribution: The research proposes an applicative leadership framework that merges participatory and adaptive leadership with Islamic moral grounding, providing a culturally relevant approach to inclusion. By linking the visionary dimension of transformational leadership with the contextual responsiveness of practical leadership, the framework offers a bridge between inclusive ideals and everyday educational realities in faith-based primary schools.

Abstract

The increasing demand for graduates who master both religious knowledge and practical competencies has encouraged Islamic boarding schools to integrate life skills into their educational management. This study analyzes how Al-Amin Islamic Boarding School, a mid-sized rural pesantren in Kandanghaur, Indramayu, manages life skills-based Islamic education, with a distinctive approach that empowers students to be independent and socially responsible. Using a qualitative descriptive design with a case study approach, data were collected through documentation, observation, and institutional profile analysis. The study examines the planning, organizing, implementation, and evaluation stages of life skills programs embedded in the pesantren environment. The findings reveal that innovation emerges in several management aspects: (1) planning emphasizes competencies aligned with rural socio-economic realities, (2) organizing involves structured collaboration between teachers and student mentors, (3) implementation integrates discipline with experiential learning such as agriculture, entrepreneurship training, and leadership practice, and (4) evaluation adopts informal but continuous behavioral assessments to measure student initiative. This study contributes to the underexplored field of rural pesantren management by demonstrating how structured integration of life skills into educational management can balance religious instruction with practical competencies. The Al-Amin model thus offers a replicable framework for advancing Islamic education reform through life skills-based management.

Abstract

The phenomenon of online game addiction among youth has emerged as a critical concern in today’s digital society, significantly influencing social interaction and educational outcomes. This study aims to examine the psychological and sociological effects of excessive online gaming through a systematic literature review. Data were collected from 32 scholarly articles and undergraduate theses published between 2013 and 2025, and analyzed to identify recurring behavioral and academic patterns. The findings indicate that approximately 70% of the reviewed studies reported a decline in face-to-face communication, emotional sensitivity, and empathy among young gamers. Moreover, 65% of the sources highlighted academic disengagement, decreased motivation to learn, and lower performance levels. Prolonged gaming also correlates with heightened stress, anxiety, and irregular sleep cycles, demonstrating the multifaceted nature of this behavioral issue. These impacts extend beyond the individual, disrupting family relations and school environments. The study recommends integrated interventions involving parental monitoring, educator participation, and balanced digital policy implementation to foster responsible gaming habits. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of online game addiction by integrating perspectives from social learning and behavioral addiction theories, providing a conceptual framework for future studies on youth digital behavior.

Abstract

This study explores the legal and managerial implications of the absence of a Student Executive Board (Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa/BEM) at Universitas Pamulang. Law No. 12 of 2012 on Higher Education recognizes students’ rights to form intra-campus organizations as part of their academic and civic development. Nevertheless, Universitas Pamulang operates only through faculty-based associations (HIMA), without a university-level BEM. Using a normative juridical approach and descriptive qualitative analysis, this research reveals that the absence of BEM restricts student representation, weakens interfaculty coordination, and limits participatory decision-making. From a legal perspective, this condition indicates partial non-compliance with statutory obligations regarding organizational rights. From a managerial perspective, it reflects a governance gap that undermines accountability and inclusivity. The findings highlight the need for universities to align legal compliance with participatory management practices to enhance institutional legitimacy and educational quality. The study recommends that higher education institutions establish representative student bodies to foster democratic engagement and fulfill the mandates of national law.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the planning, implementation, evaluation, and challenges of parenting management in strengthening early childhood spirituality at Raudhatul Athfal institutions in Indramayu. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews with teachers and parents, observation of activities, and document analysis of academic programs. The findings show that parenting programs were systematically planned at the beginning of the academic year through work meetings involving school leaders, teachers, committees, and parents. Programs were implemented in two main forms: seminars addressing child development and spirituality, and joint activities such as outing classes, cooking classes, and manasik haji training that encouraged parent–child interaction. Evaluation was carried out during and after the activities through discussions, questionnaires, and internal meetings, providing feedback for program improvement. Despite these efforts, challenges remained, including limited parental attendance, inadequate facilities, and weak collaboration between schools and families. The results indicate that structured parenting management strengthens parents’ understanding and participation in fostering children’s spiritual development. This research concludes that effective collaboration between schools and parents through managed parenting programs plays a vital role in building children’s spiritual foundations, providing valuable insights for educators and policymakers in early childhood education.
