Abstract

The accelerating pace of digital transformation poses significant leadership challenges in higher education, particularly in developing countries with limited infrastructure and hierarchical cultures. Transformational leadership is increasingly recognized as a key factor in enabling strategic adaptation and innovation in this context. This study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore how transformational leadership facilitates digital innovation in higher education institutions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 36 participants—including academic leaders, faculty members, and students—across three universities in Indonesia with varying levels of digital readiness. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and meanings in participant experiences. Findings reveal that transformational leadership—characterized by visionary direction, participatory governance, and empowerment—plays a critical role in fostering a collaborative digital culture. Leadership practices emphasizing transparency, inclusion, and emotional support reduced resistance to change and enhanced faculty and student engagement. Cross-unit collaboration, contextual training, and adaptive strategies further contributed to sustainable innovation. This study highlights the socio-cultural nuances of digital leadership in resource-constrained settings, demonstrating both the potential and limitations of transformational leadership in higher education digitalization. The findings contribute to leadership theory and offer practical guidance for institutions navigating digital change.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) face growing demands to implement quality assurance (QA) systems that align with both national education standards and their religious identity. However, few studies offer empirical models for how pesantren can institutionalize QA in context-sensitive ways. This study explores the implementation of QA at TMI Al-Amien Prenduan, a recognized muadalah pesantren in Indonesia. A qualitative case study was conducted using an interpretive paradigm. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Key informants included pesantren leaders and QA personnel. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, and validity was ensured through triangulation and member checks via focus group discussions. Findings show that TMI implemented a structured QA process using the PPEPP cycle (Determination, Implementation, Evaluation, Control, Improvement). QA practices include internal audits, stakeholder evaluations, and policy documentation. A dedicated QA unit has been established, marking a shift from charismatic, figure-based leadership to an institutionalized system. Key enablers include transformational leadership, capacity building, and external advocacy. Challenges involve limited human resources and cultural resistance to formal systems. The study demonstrates that pesantren can adopt formal QA mechanisms without compromising their identity by contextualizing implementation strategies. The TMI case offers a practical model for similar institutions and supports national efforts to standardize QA in Islamic education.

Abstract

Education is widely regarded as a pathway to social justice and equality. However, in practice, structural inequalities persist, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. Despite national commitments to equitable education, significant disparities remain due to rigid standardization, centralized control, and limited responsiveness to local contexts. This study examines the philosophical tensions between social justice and educational certainty, drawing on the frameworks of John Rawls and Paulo Freire. This research employed a qualitative literature review method grounded in philosophical analysis. Key texts by Rawls and Freire were examined alongside Indonesian educational policy documents, constitutional principles, and contemporary studies. A thematic synthesis approach was used to analyze the convergence and divergence of liberal justice theory, critical pedagogy, and Indonesia’s juridical-ideological foundations. Findings reveal that educational certainty—often pursued through standardization and bureaucratic regulation—can contradict the principles of justice as fairness and emancipation. Rawls's institutional model emphasizes distributive justice and equal opportunity, while Freire's liberatory pedagogy focuses on critical consciousness and dialogical empowerment. In the Indonesian context, both perspectives highlight tensions between policy frameworks and lived educational experiences. This study proposes a reconciliatory framework that integrates Rawlsian and Freirean insights within Indonesia's constitutional philosophy. It argues for an education system that ensures structural equity while empowering learners as agents of transformation. The implications are relevant for educational policymakers, philosophers, and practitioners seeking socially just and context-sensitive reforms.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the application of the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning model based on the Independent Curriculum in Aisyiyah 11 Musi Rawas Kindergarten, South Sumatra. The Independent Curriculum is a new policy in the Indonesian education system that provides freedom for educators to design learning that suits the needs and potential of students. At the Kindergarten (TK) level, the implementation of the Independent Curriculum is expected to foster character, faith, and devotion in children from an early age through a fun approach and activating children's participation. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach to explore how the PAI learning model is in accordance with the principles of the Independent Curriculum applied in Aisyiyah 11 Kindergarten. Data was collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving teachers, principals, and parents. The results of the study show that the implementation of the Independent Curriculum-based PAI learning model at Aisyiyah 11 Musi Rawas Kindergarten refers to the Play-Based Learning Model with the principles of the Independent Curriculum which is more flexible and focuses on developing students' potential. Learning is carried out with a fun approach and is based on the needs and interests of children, and provides room for creativity. Teachers use story, game, and theme-based methods to instill Islamic religious values in children.

Abstract

In culturally diverse educational contexts, school leadership often fails to reflect the values and wisdom inherent in local traditions. In Indonesia, character education often relies on normative approaches, overlooking the potential of indigenous philosophies to inform ethical and behavioral development. This study examines how Gusjigang—a cultural value system rooted in Islamic moralism, literacy, and entrepreneurship—is integrated into primary school leadership and character education in Kudus Regency, Central Java. Using a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 15 principals and 85 teachers across randomly selected public elementary schools through a 30-item Likert-scale questionnaire. The results show that the dimension of religious commitment (Gus) is highly embedded in both leadership practices (M = 3.72) and character education (M = 3.65), followed by literacy cultivation (Ji) and entrepreneurial modeling (Gang), which were implemented to a moderate extent. These findings suggest that while the moral and intellectual components of Gusjigang are well-integrated, its entrepreneurial aspects remain underdeveloped within school culture. The novelty of this study lies in its culturally responsive leadership framework, grounded in a local philosophical tradition, which contributes to the discourse on contextualized character education. Practically, the study suggests that educational leaders and policymakers should incorporate local wisdom into leadership development and curriculum design to enhance character education that is not only globally relevant but also locally resonant. This research affirms the transformative potential of indigenous values, such as Gusjigang, in cultivating holistic educational environments and ethical school communities.
