Abstract

This study aims to analyze the collective kiai leadership policies in enhancing the quality of madrasah education at Bahrul Ulum Islamic Boarding School, Tambakberas, Jombang. Using a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach, the study collects data through in-depth interviews, structured observation, and documentation. The data analysis process involves three stages: data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The study reveals that the formulation of collective leadership policies is based on the need to achieve religious goals, legal foundations, and community needs. These policies are oriented toward problem-solving and continuity, formulated through deliberation and consensus involving all kiai leaders of both formal and non-formal educational institutions within the pesantren. The implementation of these policies emphasizes scholarly sanad and intellectual tradition across all educational institutions. Key aspects include educational administration, human resource development, strengthening formal education based on national accreditation standards, providing entrepreneurship education, and participating in faith-based as well as science and technology competitions at national and international levels. The evaluation of these policies is carried out collectively by all caretakers and leaders in alignment with established policies to ensure quality improvement across the pesantren’s formal and non-formal educational institutions.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to formulate new propositions on school management based on the findings obtained from the two schools under investigation, namely: (1) school planning in improving teacher performance at State Islamic Senior High School 1 Trenggalek and State Senior High School 1 Trenggalek; (2) the implementation of school management in improving teacher performance at State Islamic Senior High School 1 Trenggalek and State Senior High School 1 Trenggalek; and (3) school supervision in improving teacher performance at State Islamic Senior High School 1 Trenggalek and State Senior High School 1 Trenggalek. This research employed a case study approach with a qualitative research design. The researcher’s presence in the schools served as the primary instrument, supported by non-human instruments as complementary tools. Data sources consisted of primary data in the form of words and actions observed from principals, vice principals, teachers, and administrative staff, as well as secondary data in the form of school documents. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, which comprises data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The data analysis techniques applied were (1) single-case analysis conducted separately in each school and (2) cross-case analysis conducted by comparing and synthesizing data across cases. The research findings indicate that: (1) school planning to improve teacher performance carried out by principals included (a) adherence to the school’s vision, mission, and objectives; (b) consideration of the results of the School Self-Evaluation (EDS) through SWOT analysis to enhance teacher performance; and (c) the formulation of school activity plans collaboratively with the school committee; (2) the implementation of school management to improve teacher performance by principals involved (a) mobilizing and motivating all members of the school community and utilizing all available school resources; (b) controlling and supervising the implementation of school activities; (c) securing support for school activities from parents/guardians, the school committee, and the community; (d) fulfilling teachers’ needs; (e) proportional distribution of tasks and clear job descriptions aligned with teachers’ competencies; (f) enhancement of teacher competencies; and (g) fostering a culture of mutual cooperation, care, and respect among school members to improve teacher performance.

Abstract

The dynamics of the development of Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) Al Hikmah cannot be separated from the role of the principal’s communication. Analogous to the human body, communication functions as blood that must flow to all parts. This constitutes one of the foundations for quality development. The communication strategy of the principal of MTs Al Hikmah in quality development exhibits distinctive characteristics. The principal is able to establish highly effective communication despite not having an educational background in communication studies. The principal employs prophetic-based communication strategy to enhance institutional quality. This study is qualitative research employing a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through interviews with the principal, foundation caretakers or administrators, teachers, parents or students, and stakeholders. In addition, interview data were systematically dialogued with documents and observations. After data collection, the data were analyzed using prophetic and quality-based approaches. The analytical process involved data condensation and triangulation to ensure the scientific accountability of the findings. The communication implemented operates effectively according to its roles as persuasive, informative, collective-regulative, and integrative, with a linear pattern through channels of direction, instruction, and task assignment aligned with institutional objectives. (b) The direction of the communication strategy is predominantly top-down rather than bottom-up within formal school contexts, guided by ethics of liberation, humanization, and decentralization. Diagonal communication is conducted with several informants, such as vice principals for curriculum, student affairs, and facilities and infrastructure, through various communication platforms. Interpersonal communication is also well established, with a strong emphasis on motivating subordinates from multiple perspectives.

Abstract

This study examines the management of inclusive education services as a strategic approach to enhancing school competitiveness in primary schools and madrasah ibtidaiyah in Tulungagung, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative multi-case study design, the research was conducted at SD Muhammadiyah 1 Tulungagung, SDI Al Azhaar Tulungagung, and MI Modern SAKTI Permatahati Ibu Tulungagung. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving school leaders, inclusion coordinators, Special Assistant Teachers, classroom teachers, and parents. Data analysis followed an interactive model consisting of reduction, display, and cross-case thematic verification. The findings reveal a coherent managerial cycle comprising needs analysis, integrated planning, consistent implementation, and continuous evaluation. Early identification and institutional readiness assessment ensure precise service alignment. Planning integrates individualized education programs, teacher professional development, and structured parental collaboration. Implementation operationalizes curriculum adaptation, therapeutic support, and inclusive participation in flagship programs. Evaluation mechanisms generate feedback loops that sustain service innovation and organizational learning. The study proposes a conceptual framework linking inclusive service management to student achievement, public trust, and institutional differentiation. Inclusive education management emerges not only as a rights-based obligation but also as a strategic driver of sustainable school competitiveness grounded in service quality and reputational capital.
