Abstract

The study aims to critically analyse the clarity, observability, and measurability of ELT knowledge-based learning outcomes (LOs) as outlined in the current national curriculum guidelines for Indonesian Islamic higher education institutions. The researchers employed document analysis to assess 22 items of the LOs within the guidelines published in 2018 by the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA) through the Directorate of Indonesian Islamic Higher Education. Then, the researchers applied the Blooms revised taxonomy as the theoretical framework, converting LOs illustrative verbs to Blooms illustrative verbs to examine the quality of LOs to determine whether the LOs promote higher- or lower-order thinking skills. This study shows that a significant majority (95.45%) of the analysed LOs in the current national guidelines suffer from poor design (unclear, unobservable, and unmeasurable) due to the absence of Blooms cognitive illustrative verbs. Collectively, these findings have important implications for educators and policymakers to pay more attention to the quality of their designed LOs. It suggests an urgent need for the Directorate of Indonesian Islamic Higher Education to revise its LOs because they risk affecting the quality, relevance, and effectiveness of their education in generating graduates who have global competitiveness. Poorly designed LOs promote only lower-order skills, which paralyse graduates global competitiveness because they do not possess the knowledge required in the international arena. It is hoped that this study will serve as an inspiration to other countries and educational authorities facing similar challenges, encouraging them to be more meticulous in crafting well-designed LOs.

Abstract

Financial management plays a strategic role in ensuring the effectiveness and quality of Islamic educational institutions, especially private madrasahs that depend heavily on School Operational Assistance (BOS) funds. This study explores the financial management practices at MTs Ash-Shalihin Gowa, focusing on how strategies grounded in local wisdom and Islamic values help address funding limitations without compromising educational quality or sustainability. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Key informants included the head of the foundation, the principal, and the treasurer, who provided insights into the planning, budgeting, control, and evaluation processes. Thematic analysis was used, and findings were validated through triangulation. Results show that effective financial management in the madrasah is built on collaborative governance that incorporates local wisdom, such as gotong royong (mutual cooperation), musyawarah (deliberation), and religious values like amanah (trust) and barakah (spiritual benefit). Budgeting was based on needs and priorities, supported by inclusive decision-making involving all stakeholders. The use of the digital E-RKAM system improved transparency and accountability yet was applied in a way that respected the madrasah’s ethical and religious culture. Regular internal and external evaluations supported a reflective and adaptive financial cycle. These evaluations extended beyond regulatory compliance and included community feedback, reinforcing the institution’s legitimacy and responsiveness. Financial efficiency was thus viewed not merely as cost-saving but as a form of ethical stewardship (khalifah) over communal resources. This study contributes to the theory of Islamic educational financial management by showing how local wisdom can enhance digital governance. It offers a practical model for other madrasahs to replicate, emphasizing the importance of aligning religious values, digital tools, and cultural practices in improving educational quality sustainably.
