Abstract

Educational transformation in the Education 5.0 era requires Islamic boarding schools to not only strengthen the spiritual dimension but also systematically integrate vocational education and soft skills development within the framework of Islamic educational management. However, studies that position the integration of vocational education and soft skills as a structured managerial strategy are still limited. This study aims to analyze the design, implementation, and control of the integration of vocational education and soft skills at the Miftahul Ulum Bangunsirna Islamic Boarding School. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving the boarding school leadership, educators, program managers, and students as key informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies, then analyzed using thematic analysis with data validity maintained through triangulation. The results show that the integration of vocational education and soft skills is not incidental, but is built through coordinated managerial practices, including a competency-based curriculum, collaborative human resource management, and the management of the boarding school's institutional culture as a hidden curriculum. Vocational education is positioned as an inherent part of the Islamic educational mission to actualize the values ​​of knowledge, charity, and morals in the lives of students. This study contributes by formulating a humanistic-integrative Islamic educational management pattern as an empirical description of managerial practices, as well as providing practical references for managing Islamic boarding schools in responding to the demands of contemporary education and the world of work.

Abstract

Managerial transparency has become one of the essential principles in the governance of modern educational institutions, including madrasahs. Despite its recognized importance, most existing studies focus on general school settings, leaving the specific dynamics of transparency practices in madrasah contexts underexplored. However, empirical studies examining the influence of management transparency on teacher performance within madrasah environments remain relatively limited. This study addresses this gap by situating transparency within the unique organizational and cultural characteristics of madrasahs. This study aims to analyze the effect of transparency-based management on teacher performance at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri 9 Indramayu. The research employed a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional survey design. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire involving all permanent teachers as respondents (n = 30) using a total sampling technique. Because the sample consisted of only 30 teachers, the results cannot be widely generalized. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, and simple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The results indicate that the level of managerial transparency in the madrasah falls within the good category (M = 4.21; SD = 0.42), while teacher performance is categorized as very good (M = 4.33; SD = 0.38). Regression analysis shows that transparency-based management has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance (R = 0.723; R² = 0.523; p < 0.05). This finding indicates that approximately 52.3% of the variation in teacher performance in this study sample can be explained by management transparency practices, while the remaining proportion is influenced by other factors such as intrinsic motivation, the leadership of the madrasah principal, and workload. These results empirically demonstrate that transparency is not merely a procedural aspect of governance but a substantial predictor of teacher performance in faith-based educational institutions. These findings support organizational justice theory, which highlights the role of openness and clarity in building trust and commitment. Furthermore, this study extends the theory by illustrating how transparency operates within a madrasah setting, where formal administrative practices intersect with religious and social values. In madrasahs, managerial transparency functions not only as an administrative mechanism but also as a means to strengthen professional relationships between leaders and teachers. Thus, the study contributes conceptually by contextualizing organizational justice theory in Islamic educational institutions. This study concludes that transparency-based management can improve teacher performance and promote more accountable and participatory governance.

Abstract

Islamic education in elementary schools plays a vital role not only in building students’ cognitive religious knowledge but also in shaping their moral character deeply rooted in local culture and values. This study explores how the Islamic education curriculum is managed and integrated with local content at SDIT Kasih Ibu, East Karawang District, and examines its effectiveness in strengthening students’ moral development. Employing a qualitative case study approach grounded in curriculum integration theory (Beane, 1997) and local wisdom-based character education (Suyanto, 2018), data were gathered through in-depth interviews with principals, Islamic education teachers, and parents, participant observation of daily learning activities and school routines, and analysis of curriculum documents, lesson plans, and moral development records. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model strengthened by the constant comparative technique. The findings reveal three interconnected strategies: curriculum mapping that synergizes Islamic values such as akhlaq karimah and tauhid with local Karawang elements including gotong royong, silih asih, and traditional arts into thematic learning; positioning teachers as moral exemplars through consistent uswah hasanah practices and reflective mentoring; and the development of a habituative school culture via extracurricular activities, daily routines, and hidden curriculum such as subuh pengajian, environmental care, and peer mediation. These holistic and contextual approaches demonstrate that moral strengthening extends far beyond classroom instruction, permeating the entire school environment. Ultimately, this study concludes that integrative curriculum management aligned with local wisdom effectively nurtures students who are religiously grounded, culturally rooted, and socially adaptive, offering valuable insights for sustainable character education in Indonesia.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital disruption has forced Islamic educational institutions to transform their learning management systems while maintaining spiritual values. This qualitative case study aims to analyze the patterns of innovation in Islamic Education learning management at SDIT Tahfizh Qur'an Al-Jabar Karawang. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers, and education staff, participant observation over six months, and document analysis, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings demonstrate systematic innovation across three domains: planning that integrates digital tools with students’ Qur’anic memorization levels and characteristics; implementation that combines conventional methods with interactive digital media, resulting in an 85% increase in student motivation; and evaluation through application-based assessments that achieve 94% data accuracy while monitoring both spiritual and academic competencies. This study reveals that technology integration does not erode Islamic values but instead creates a balanced “value-based technological moderation” model. The scientific novelty of this research lies in presenting an empirically grounded, replicable framework of Islamic learning management that harmoniously combines digital innovation with tahfizh-based spiritual formation in an elementary school setting. Theoretically, it bridges innovation theory, values-based management, and religious moderation; practically, it provides a concrete reference for other Islamic schools navigating digital transformation without losing their religious identity.
