Abstract

Transformational leadership is regarded as a leadership style capable of responding to the challenges of contemporary dynamics while fostering innovation, motivation, and commitment within Islamic educational institutions. This article aims to: (1) describe the concept of transformational leadership in Islamic education, (2) identify transformational leadership techniques applied in Islamic educational institutions, and (3) analyze the effectiveness of its implementation based on literature published from 2020 to 2025. The research method employed a systematic literature review, examining scientific articles and empirical studies from journals on Islamic education and educational management. The findings indicate that techniques such as developing a collective vision and mission, staff/teacher empowerment, motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration remain relevant and effective in improving teacher performance, innovation, work motivation, school culture, and educational quality. Recent studies also highlight the importance of work climate and organizational support as mediating factors for successful implementation. Therefore, transformational leadership remains relevant and is highly recommended for implementation in Islamic educational institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse social capital-based educational leadership strategies in improving the culture of educational quality. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review design. Data collection was conducted through literature study, then analysed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and thematic conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that social capital-based leadership strategies are realised through: (1) strengthening internal collaboration between teachers and educational staff through learning communities and joint reflection; (2) instilling quality values and organisational norms in the form of collective commitment and mutual cooperation; (3) active involvement of parents and strengthening the role of school committees; and (4) developing external partnerships to expand support networks and resources. These strategies strengthen the structural, relational, and cognitive dimensions of social capital, which have an impact on increasing organisational cohesion, trust, participation, and consistency in the application of quality standards. The research findings confirm that social capital-based educational leadership is capable of transforming a culture of quality from a mere administrative requirement into a collective value that is internalised in the daily practices of the school. The implications of this research emphasise the importance of the headteacher as an agent of social relations and an orchestrator of collaboration in creating a sustainable, adaptive, and participatory culture of quality.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan implementasi pembelajaran berdiferensiasi dalam pembelajaran bahasa Arab dan menganalisis hubungannya dengan kepemimpinan sekolah. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi kasus kualitatif yang dilakukan di kelas XI Satu SMA Bustanul Ulum NU Bumiayu. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan dokumentasi, dan dianalisis menggunakan teknik kualitatif deskriptif. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran berdiferensiasi diimplementasikan melalui penyesuaian dalam konten, proses, dan produk. Diferensiasi konten tampak dalam memodifikasi kompleksitas materi dan strategi scaffolding. Diferensiasi proses tercermin dalam beragam aktivitas pembelajaran, kecepatan yang fleksibel, dan bimbingan adaptif. Diferensiasi produk diterapkan dengan menawarkan tugas alternatif, termasuk output visual, auditori, dan kinestetik-interaktif. Implementasi tersebut berkontribusi pada keterlibatan, kenyamanan, dan kepercayaan diri siswa.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the visibility of educational leadership that integrates ecotheological values with the demands of the digital era within the framework of strengthening an organizational culture of quality. The current global environmental crisis is viewed not merely as a technical problem but as a moral and spiritual crisis of modern humanity trapped in an anthropocentric worldview. Using a descriptive qualitative method through a library research approach, this study explores how educational leaders utilize digital technology to transform theological discourse into concrete actions for environmental conservation. The results indicate that the visibility of ecotheological leadership in the digital era can be optimized through three main strategies: (1) the utilization of digital leadership as an instrument for communicating values through e-learning platforms, interactive simulations, and social media to build an environmentally conscious institutional image; (2) the implementation of an integrative curriculum and eco-prophetic education that connects spiritual responsibility with twenty-first-century skills such as STEM and digital literacy; and (3) the application of an inclusive transformational leadership model, including strengthening the role of women’s leadership, which tends to be more collaborative and participatory in fostering an ecological quality culture. In conclusion, the synergy between eschatological awareness and proactive digital innovation becomes a key factor for educational leaders to carry out their role as khalifah in maintaining the balance between humans, nature, and God amid global disruption.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran gotong royong sebagai bentuk modal sosial dalam kepemimpinan sekolah dasar pinggiran dalam merespons kebijakan akreditasi nasional. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain deskriptif, dilaksanakan di dua Sekolah Dasar Negeri di wilayah pinggiran Kabupaten Banyumas, Jawa Tengah. Partisipan penelitian meliputi dua kepala sekolah, enam guru, empat perwakilan komite sekolah atau orang tua, dan dua tokoh masyarakat. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan studi dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan analisis tematik deskriptif melalui triangulasi sumber dan metode. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa; a) keterbatasan sumber daya ekonomi mendorong kepala sekolah untuk mengaktifkan modal sosial sebagai strategi pemenuhan standar akreditasi, b) Modal sosial internal (bonding social capital) diwujudkan melalui solidaritas dan komitmen guru yang dimobilisasi lewat kepemimpinan teladan dan relasional, c) Modal sosial eksternal (bridging social capital) diaktifkan melalui praktik gotong royong masyarakat yang mengonversi relasi sosial menjadi dukungan tenaga dan sarana prasarana sekolah tanpa menimbulkan resistensi sosial, d) Selain itu, pemanfaatan tokoh masyarakat dalam proses visitasi mencerminkan peran modal sosial simbolik (symbolic social capital) sebagai sumber legitimasi moral atas keberadaan dan fungsi sekolah di tengah keterbatasan teknis. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kepemimpinan sekolah dasar di wilayah pinggiran tidak hanya bersifat administratif, tetapi sangat ditentukan oleh kemampuan membangun kepercayaan, relasi sosial, dan pemanfaatan nilai budaya lokal. Temuan ini mengimplikasikan perlunya kebijakan akreditasi yang lebih sensitif terhadap konteks sosial dan kultural sekolah, serta pengakuan terhadap modal sosial sebagai sumber daya strategis dalam tata kelola pendidikan dasar.

Abstract

School principal leadership constitutes a critical determinant of educational quality, yet comprehensive understanding of effective leadership approaches in contemporary contexts remains limited. This literature review examined school principal leadership from a sociology of education perspective, synthesizing 44 international scholarly sources published between 2019 and 2025. The review employed narrative-descriptive methodology, systematically analyzing leadership conceptualizations, effective styles, contemporary challenges, and implications for educational quality. Findings revealed that 40.9% of contemporary literature conceptualizes principals as multidimensional leaders integrating instructional, managerial, and social roles. Four leadership styles demonstrated differential yet complementary effects: transformational leadership enhanced teacher motivation (85% of studies) and innovation culture (82%); instructional leadership directly improved teaching quality (91%) and curriculum implementation (88%); democratic leadership generated exceptional teacher participation (94%) and organizational trust (87%); while spiritual leadership strengthened ethical climate (89%) and character development (84%). School culture development emerged as the primary mediating mechanism (70.5% of studies) through which leadership influences educational outcomes. Contemporary principals face intensified challenges including digital transformation (77.3%), teacher resistance (63.6%), and administrative burden (59.1%), with significant contextual variations based on resource availability. The findings establish leadership as socially embedded institutional work requiring cultural diagnostic capabilities alongside technical competence. This study advances sociology of education by theorizing principals as cultural producers who shape organizational values mediating educational quality improvements.

Abstract

Positive culture in elementary schools constitutes a critical foundation for character development in the digital era, yet comprehensive understanding of principal leadership's specific role remains limited. This systematic literature review analyzed 47 peer-reviewed publications from 2015-2025 using PRISMA guidelines, employing thematic synthesis to identify leadership dimensions contributing to positive culture development. Analysis revealed six interconnected leadership dimensions: visionary direction setting (89% of studies), teacher empowerment through professional development (83%), effective communication (79%), exemplary modeling behavior (74%), digital leadership competence (60%), and collaborative culture development (emergent theme). Findings demonstrated that elementary contexts require distinct leadership approaches emphasizing concrete behavioral modeling and developmentally appropriate strategies. Digital leadership emerged as a contemporary imperative, though 73% of reviewed studies reported principals lacked adequate digital competencies. Unexpected findings included reciprocal empowerment dynamics between principals and teachers, and technology's paradoxical effects on school culture. Results extend transformational leadership theory by documenting elementary-specific patterns and implementation gaps between empowerment rhetoric and practice. Findings underscore urgent needs for comprehensive principal preparation programs addressing culture-building competencies, ongoing professional development supporting digital leadership capacity, and educational policies recognizing leadership stability as prerequisite for cultural transformation. Future research should employ longitudinal designs examining temporal dynamics and cross-cultural comparisons clarifying universal versus context-specific practices.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and formulate a school cooperative management model based on visionary leadership in enhancing students' independence. School cooperatives do not only function as business units but also serve as strategic learning platforms in shaping students' independence, responsibility, and entrepreneurial spirit. Visionary leadership plays a crucial role in directing cooperative management to be more innovative, sustainable, and future-oriented. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method, drawing from various literature on cooperative management, educational leadership, and student character development. The findings indicate that a visionary leadership-based management model emphasizes strategic planning, participatory management, strengthening independence values, and innovative cooperative programs involving students actively. The implementation of this model has been shown to improve students' managerial skills, independence attitudes, and economic awareness. Therefore, school cooperatives can serve as effective instruments in supporting educational goals oriented toward character building and student independence. Keywords: school cooperative management, visionary leadership, student independence, character education
