Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of strategic public relations management in enhancing institutional positioning and competitive advantage in higher education. Employing a qualitative approach with a multi-case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving institutional leaders, public relations practitioners, academics, students, and alumni. The findings indicate that strategic public relations serves as a foundational mechanism for institutional positioning through public needs analysis, identity strengthening, and integrated communication strategies. Furthermore, integrated communication encompassing media relations, digital branding, academic publications, and stakeholder engagement plays a critical role in shaping institutional image and reputation through message consistency. Strategic public relations also contributes significantly to competitive advantage by fostering public trust, increasing institutional visibility, and strengthening differentiation. The study implies that strategic public relations functions as a dynamic capability that links internal institutional quality with external public perception, transforming communication into strategic value. These findings offer theoretical contributions by integrating public relations, positioning, reputation, and competitive advantage into a unified framework, while practically providing guidance for higher education institutions in designing effective strategic communication to enhance competitiveness in a dynamic environment.

Abstract

Education currently faces significant challenges, including global competition, rapid digital transformation, increasing demands for quality improvement, and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 on quality education. This study aims to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the extent to which influencer leadership affects Islamic performance and dedication, as well as its contribution to the development of ESD-based flagship schools. Additionally, this research explores leadership typologies as an emerging model relevant to 21st-century Islamic educational institutions. This study employed a mixed-method approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) across four ESD-based schools in Malang Regency. Data were collected through a survey involving 100 respondents, including school principals, teachers, and educational staff. A pragmatic model with an expansive design was utilized, combining statistical analysis with qualitative exploration through observations, interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that influencer leadership has a positive and significant effect on enhancing Islamic dedication and performance, with a p-value of 0.00, and directly contributes to the establishment of superior schools. Islamic dedication plays a crucial role in strengthening institutional quality, while Islamic performance, although not directly significant (p-value 0.136), supports operational success. Furthermore, two leadership typologies were identified: KITA-ESD (Aswaja Transformational Influencer Leadership) and KIVSA (Aswaja Spiritual Visionary Influencer Leadership). These findings highlight that institutional success depends not only on infrastructure but also on leadership strength, Islamic work culture, and collective commitment.

Abstract

Islamic education faces challenges in contextualizing Islamic values amid social change and the increasingly complex currents of globalization. Islamic education is often viewed as overly theoretical and insufficiently equipped to address moral and social issues in society. This study aims to analyze the internalization of Islamic educational values and its implications for social transformation in Kampung Al-Qur’an, Mandailing Natal, Indonesia. The study employs a qualitative approach using the case study method within an interpretive paradigm. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving religious leaders, community members, parents, and youth. The findings reveal that the internalization of values occurs through religious conditioning, the strengthening of social control, the exemplary role of community leaders, and the collective involvement of families and the community. These practices successfully fostered spiritual discipline, social solidarity, and moral resilience within the community despite being situated in an environment vulnerable to negative influences. This study affirms that community-based Islamic education holds great potential as a model for sustainable and contextual social transformation.

Abstract

Pemerintah senantiasa melakukan perubahan dalam dunia pendidikan, khususnya kurikulum. Sebelumnya sekolah menggunakan kurikulum 2013, namun saat ini telah berganti menjadi kurikulum merdeka, dan hampir semua sekolah menerapkannya. Salah satunya SMPN 1 Plumpang yang merupakan pendidikan formal yang menerapkan kurikulum merdeka selama 2 tahun. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penerapan manajemen kurikulum merdeka mata pelajaran PAI dan Budi Pekerti dalam menanamkan nilai-nilai profil siswa Pancasila di SMPN 1 Plumpang melalui tiga tahap, yaitu perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Serta menganalisis dampak kurikulum merdeka terhadap akhlak siswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian quasi kualitatif, pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Lokasi penelitian dilakukan di SMPN 1 Plumpang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perencanaan kurikulum merdeka berjalan dengan baik. Begitu pula dengan keseluruhan pelaksanaan berjalan dengan baik, meskipun 5 persen mengalami sedikit kendala dalam menerapkan kegiatan pembelajaran yang nyata dengan modul ajar yang dibuat. Evaluasi akan dilakukan secara berkesinambungan dan holistik. Dampak kurikulum independen terhadap moral siswa di PAI memiliki dampak positif dan negatif. Kata Kunci: manajemen; kurikulum mandiri; pendidikan Islam; nilai-nilai Pancasila.
