Abstract

This research examines curriculum innovations in Islamic boarding school-based madrasas. Holistic learning, which integrates religious education (Islamic boarding school, also called pesantren) and formal education, is a powerful instrument for school admission to attract more students. Thus, Islamic boarding school-based madrasah curriculum needs to develop innovation to meet the needs of society consistently and adapt to the evolving educational landscape. This research aims to review the curriculum innovations carried out by pesantren-based Madrasah Aliyah to ensure relevance and effectiveness. This research employed a qualitative research design with a case study approach. It established a complex picture of excellent-based madrasa curriculum innovation by examining expressions, detailed reports, and conducting studies in natural situations with various stakeholders. This research concludes that pesantren curriculum innovation is implemented through some stages, including 1) doing needs analysis, 2) formulating and answering philosophical questions, 3) determining the curriculum design, and 4) creating a master plan: development, implementation, and assessment or evaluation for sustainable improvement.

Abstract

Effective leadership is vital in educational settings to foster a positive and productive school environment. Student-centered leadership, which emphasizes the needs, experiences, and voices of students in decision-making, is a key strategy for achieving this goal. This pilot study examines the effectiveness of student-centered leadership practices of the principal from the perspectives of students and teachers, focusing on key areas such as setting achievement targets, fostering high expectations, strategic resource planning, quality teaching practices, enhancing teacher competencies, and creating a conducive school environment. A quantitative survey method was employed, gathering responses from a total of 132 respondents, consisting of 96 students and 36 teachers, at Sekolah Berasrama Penuh Integrasi Tun Abdul Razak, Pahang. The survey, consisting of 30 items, demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.97). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 29.0 with descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation. Results indicate a high perceived effectiveness of student-centered leadership practices, with mean scores above 3.63 across all domains. Despite these positive outcomes, ongoing refinement and adaptation of leadership practices are essential to ensure sustained educational success.

Abstract

Ketua Panitia (KP) di sekolah rendah (SR) memainkan peranan penting sebagai penghubung antara kepimpinan sekolah dan para guru. Kecekapan KP dalam menyokong visi dan misi sekolah adalah penting. Namun, kajian tentang kepimpinan KP masih terhad. Kertas ini bertujuan untuk mengupas kepimpinan KP dengan merujuk kepada model kepimpinan KP yang dikemukakan oleh Harris et al. (2001). Tujuh elemen kepimpinan KP yang berkesan seperti yang digariskan oleh Harris et al. (2001) turut dibincangkan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa elemen kepimpinan perlu diterapkan kepada KP bagi memastikan mereka memiliki kelayakan dan keupayaan untuk memimpin panitia masing-masing dengan cemerlang. Perancangan dan pengurusan kepimpinan pemimpin pertengahan (PP) di sekolah juga memerlukan elemen kepimpinan yang mantap. Kerjasama erat antara pelbagai organisasi seperti Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM), Institut Aminuddin Baki (IAB), Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia (IPGM) dan juga universiti adalah penting untuk memastikan keberkesanan kepimpinan KP. Kajian ini juga mendapati bahawa kepimpinan KP adalah efektif apabila elemen kepimpinan diterapkan dan diurus dengan teliti seterusnya dapat memberi impak positif kepada pencapaian pelajar dan prestasi sekolah secara keseluruhan.

Abstract

This study reconceptualises student-centred leadership in Southeast Asian schools by a systematic synthesis of empirical evidence on leadership practices, mediating mechanisms, and student outcomes. Although student-centred leadership has gained policy attention in response to learning inequities, student disengagement, and socio-emotional challenges, research in Southeast Asia remains fragmented across leadership typologies and reform agendas. Guided by the PRISMA framework, this study conducted a systematic literature review of empirical journal articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. Database searches conducted in January 2026 identified 2,338 records. Following rigorous screening and eligibility procedures based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 32 studies published between 2010 and 2025 were included in the qualitative synthesis. Data were analysed using integrative thematic synthesis. The findings indicate that student-centred leadership is not a singular model. Instead, it constitutes a multidimensional constellation of practices encompassing instructional alignment, relational trust-building, ethical climate formation, pedagogical innovation, and sustained teacher professional development. Leadership influence on students is predominantly indirect and operates through mediating mechanisms such as teaching quality, professional learning structures, school climate, and curriculum enactment. These practices are consistently associated with improved student engagement, wellbeing, agency, autonomy, and learning outcomes. However, implementation is frequently constrained by hierarchical governance structures, accountability pressures, uneven teacher readiness, and digital inequality. This study advances a mechanism-based and contextually grounded reconceptualisation of student-centred leadership in Southeast Asia. It strengthens leadership scholarship by foregrounding mediating pathways and decentring Western-dominated typologies, while offering practical and policy implications for leadership preparation, reform alignment, and equity-oriented school improvement.
