Abstract

Purpose:  This study examines the implementation of humanistic Islamic education management in supporting students’ moral and character development in a contemporary elementary madrasah context, where character education is often implemented separately from management practices. Method: This research uses a qualitative case study approach conducted at Al Umm Elementary Madrasah, Klari District. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the principal and teachers, classroom observations, and school documentation. Data analysis followed thematic analysis to identify patterns in management practices related to character education. Findings: The findings indicate that humanistic Islamic education management is reflected in participatory leadership practices, integration of Islamic values in classroom activities, and the development of a school culture that emphasizes discipline, empathy, and responsibility. However, the implementation is context-dependent and varies across school activities, particularly in classroom practices and extracurricular programs. The role of the principal and teachers is important in modeling values, although its consistency is influenced by situational factors. Research Implication: The study suggests that humanistic-oriented management can support character education when integrated into daily school practices. However, its effectiveness depends on sustained leadership commitment and teacher involvement in implementing values-based education. Originality: Rather than proposing a generalizable model, this study provides a contextual description of how humanistic Islamic values are practiced in school management at a specific madrasah, contributing empirical insight into the integration of character education within management practices in a local setting.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze co-parenting patterns in post-divorce child education and to examine the integration of Islamic values in parenting practices, particularly in response to the increasing divorce rate in Indonesia and its impact on children’s emotional, social, and academic development. Method: This research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Data were collected from Google Scholar and Scopus databases, focusing on publications from 2010 to 2025. A total of 124 articles were initially identified, with 36 articles meeting the inclusion criteria and analyzed using content analysis techniques. Findings: The findings indicate that co-parenting patterns in post-divorce families can be classified into three main types: cooperative, parallel, and high-conflict. Cooperative co-parenting is associated with positive outcomes in children’s well-being and academic achievement, while high-conflict co-parenting increases the risk of behavioral problems. Furthermore, the effectiveness of co-parenting is influenced by communication quality, clarity of role distribution, and conflict management skills. In the context of Muslim families, Islamic values such as shura (consultation), amanah (responsibility), ‘adl (justice), and ta’awun (cooperation) play a significant role in strengthening constructive co-parenting practices. Research Implication: This study emphasizes the importance of integrating Islamic values into co-parenting practices as a strategic approach to support children’s holistic development in post-divorce families. It also provides a conceptual basis for educators and parents to develop more adaptive and value-based parenting strategies. Originality: This research offers a conceptual framework of Islamic values-based co-parenting that bridges contemporary parenting models with Islamic principles, providing a contextual and practical contribution to post-divorce child education.

Abstract

This study was conducted based on classroom observations and interviews with the fifth-grade teacher at SD Negeri 3 Sedong Lor, Cirebon Regency. The findings indicated that students’ mathematics learning outcomes were still unsatisfactory, particularly in addition operations involving whole numbers. One of the contributing factors was the implementation of uniform instruction that did not adequately accommodate differences in students’ learning readiness and abilities. As a result, many students experienced difficulties in understanding concepts, analyzing problems, and drawing conclusions during learning activities. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach in improving students’ mathematics learning outcomes. The study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The participants consisted of 23 fifth-grade students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using observation sheets and learning achievement tests. The results revealed improvements in several aspects of the learning process, including the quality of teaching modules, teacher performance, student learning activities, and cognitive achievement. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between students’ scores before and after the implementation of TaRL (t = 107.861; p < 0.000). These findings indicate that the TaRL approach effectively supports mathematics learning by aligning instruction with students’ actual learning needs and levels of understanding

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the development of social competencies among pesantren teachers in shaping students' character in the digital era. This qualitative research was conducted at Al-Khoir Islamic Boarding School in Karawang, involving 10 teachers and 15 students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using a thematic analysis framework based on the work of Miles and Huberman. The findings show that teachers at Al-Khoir demonstrate social competence through role modeling, empathetic communication, and the instilling of moral values in daily routines. However, there are challenges in digital literacy, as teachers struggle to integrate digital tools into their teaching due to limited resources and inadequate training. This gap in digital competence is influenced by the pesantren’s traditional values and leadership style, which prioritize religious education over technological integration. These findings contribute to the literature on teacher social competence and character education by highlighting the importance of enhancing digital competencies in teachers. The study offers practical recommendations for integrating digital literacy training into professional development programs at pesantren, enabling teachers to navigate the digital era more effectively and enhance their character-building efforts. Furthermore, this research offers valuable insights for both theory and practice, suggesting that strengthening digital literacy in teacher training programs is crucial for preparing educators to effectively navigate the challenges of the digital age while promoting character development in students.

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.

Abstract

Multicultural education plays a vital role in enhancing religious tolerance within Islamic Religious Education (IRE), particularly in Indonesia, where religious exclusivism and intolerance remain ongoing challenges. The objective of this research was to explore the understanding and application of multicultural values in Islamic Religious Education among junior high school and madrasa students. A mixed-method approach was utilized, combining qualitative and quantitative analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of the issue. Through open-ended interviews and surveys, data were collected from students in two junior high schools in Cilegon and one madrasa in Serang, Indonesia. The qualitative data were analyzed using a descriptive-exploratory approach, while quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. The study found that integrating religious education with multicultural values fostered a strong sense of interfaith tolerance, cultural appreciation, and inclusivity. This integration helped students embrace diversity, respect differences, and build mutual trust, thereby minimizing conflicts and promoting a harmonious learning environment. The findings underscore the significance of effective multicultural education in shaping an inclusive Islamic education system, ultimately enhancing both the social and academic outcomes of students in Indonesia.
