Abstract:              The development of information technology (IT) has had a significant impact on various aspects of life, one of which is in the world of education. Information technology plays an important role in improving the quality of communication in educational institutions by accelerating the flow of information, expanding the reach of communication, and increasing interactivity between related parties, such as educators, students, and parents. This study aims to analyze the role of information technology in supporting the effectiveness of communication in educational institutions. The methods used are literature reviews and observations of the implementation of communication technology in several educational institutions. The results of the study show that the use of digital platforms, learning management applications, and social media can accelerate the process of delivering information, facilitate two-way communication, and increase collaboration between teachers, students, and parents. In addition, the use of technology can also enrich learning resources, support distance learning, and facilitate more transparent and accountable learning evaluations. In conclusion, information technology has a strategic role in improving the quality of communication in educational institutions, which ultimately contributes to improving the quality of education itself.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the leadership role of village kiai as key actors in instilling character education values within rural communities. This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive design using a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and direct observations to obtain comprehensive and relevant findings. The results reveal that village kiai function not only as religious leaders and educators but also as central figures and mediators in resolving social issues within the community. Their leadership is characterized by religious charisma, spiritual influence, democratic deliberation, and participatory approaches. The primary character values cultivated by village kiai include religiosity, honesty, discipline, independence, responsibility, and consistency in learning. The strategies implemented to instill these values involve habituation, role modeling, motivation, advice, storytelling, and disciplinary measures. Furthermore, the study identifies several challenges faced by village kiai, including deeply rooted cultural traditions, resistance to social change, difficulties in transforming community behavior, the growing influence of digital exposure, and limited governmental support. This study highlights the significant contribution of village kiai leadership to strengthening character education and social cohesion in rural Muslim communities.
