<![CDATA[In essence, the principal has the responsibility to improve the work program. In its development, not all aspects are in accordance with what is expected. Principals must have good performance experience in improving the innovations that will be developed. This research aims to find out efforts to improve performance with various innovations made by school principals. Thus, this research uses quantitative methods by conducting an in-depth review through the use of whatsApp applications. The results that researchers get from the research conducted are researchers can find out what innovations are made by school principals to improve the performance of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah for students. From the research conducted by the researcher, it can be concluded that, the efforts of innovation made by the principal to improve performance are good, but it is hoped that a review will be carried out to the government in order to maximize the performance expected by the principal of the teachers, students in the school, because if seen at this time the principal only gets information from each homeroom teacher, by conducting the review, the principal will know what is needed or needed by the school to make the school even superior. The limitation of this research is that researchers do not make a detailed description of what innovations will be made by the head of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah to measure existing progress, therefore further researchers can conduct more detailed research.

<![CDATA[In today's digital era, security and efficiency in attendance management in the school environment are very important. Biometric technology has become a new trend in improving security and optimizing the attendance recording process, replacing manual systems prone to errors and fraud. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of applying biometric technology in school attendance and security management. Specifically, this research focuses on evaluating how this technology can reduce cheating, increase the accuracy of attendance data, and strengthen school security systems. This research uses quantitative methods with a case study approach at five schools implementing a biometric system. Data was collected through surveys of school administrators and direct observation of the registration and identity verification processes at these schools. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive and inferential statistics. This research shows that using biometric technology significantly increases the efficiency and accuracy of the attendance recording system. Student attendance is recorded quickly and accurately, with virtually no cheating. This technology also strengthens the security system by ensuring that only verified individuals can access school facilities. This research concludes that applying biometric technology in school attendance and security management has proven very effective. This technology optimizes attendance and improves security, providing a safe environment for students and staff. The research recommends wider adoption of biometric technology in other schools to improve security and operational efficiency.]]>

<![CDATA[The rise of open learning platforms has transformed higher education by providing accessible, flexible, and cost-effective learning opportunities for diverse student populations. Traditional educational models often face challenges in accommodating students with varying learning preferences, geographical limitations, and financial constraints. Open learning platforms offer self-paced learning, interactive content, and collaborative tools that enhance student engagement and academic performance. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of open learning platforms in higher education by examining their impact on student learning outcomes, engagement levels, and knowledge retention. A mixed-methods research design was employed, integrating quantitative analysis of student performance metrics with qualitative feedback from learner surveys and instructor interviews. Findings indicate that students using open learning platforms demonstrate improved academic performance, increased motivation, and enhanced critical thinking skills. Statistical analysis reveals a strong correlation between interactive learning features and student engagement. The study concludes that open learning platforms are effective tools for higher education, promoting inclusivity and personalized learning experiences. Future research should explore the long-term impact of open education on professional development and strategies for optimizing platform design to maximize learning effectiveness.]]>

<![CDATA[The discipline of Kal?m (Islamic theology) has historically served as a framework for addressing theological controversies, utilizing rational discourse to harmonize scriptural interpretation with intellectual inquiry. In the modern era, theological debates concerning issues such as faith, ethics, and the reconciliation of science and religion have intensified, necessitating renewed exploration of Kal?m as a method for resolving these challenges. This study examines the contribution of Kal?m in addressing contemporary theological controversies through rational debates and intellectual engagement. A qualitative approach was employed, combining historical analysis and textual study of classical Kal?m works with case studies of modern applications in theological discourse. Data were collected through critical analysis of primary texts and interviews with contemporary theologians and scholars actively engaging in rational debates on theological issues. The findings demonstrate that Kal?m provides a robust intellectual foundation for navigating contemporary theological controversies. Its emphasis on rational argumentation fosters constructive dialogue between traditional Islamic perspectives and modern intellectual paradigms. The study concludes that Kal?m remains a vital tool for resolving contemporary theological controversies, bridging the gap between tradition and modernity.]]>
