Abstract

Indonesia is a Muslim country with a total of 87% of the population being Muslim, but data from the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia in 2020 shows that the number of Al-Qur'an memorizers (Hafidz 30 Juz) in Indonesia is only around 30,000, about 0.01% of the total population of Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the management of the Al-Qur'an literacy program in creating tahfidz students at SMP Negeri 1 Cirebon City. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method and nonprobability sampling technique, purposive sampling data source collection techniques carried out by observation, interviews, and documents. Data validity testing is carried out with credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability tests. Data analysis includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The results of this study indicate that the management of the Qur'an literacy program by implementing the POAC theory put forward by Terry proved to be very effective. The effectiveness of the program in proving to be able to create tahfidz students at SMP Negeri 1 Cirebon City began to be carried out since 2016 well with the achievement of the target of passing tahfidz 40 students in 2023. Based on this, this research is expected to provide implications for managers of other educational institutions that to create students who memorize the Qur'an does not have to form an integrated Islamic school or include Qur'an learning into the local content curriculum. But simply with the right management concept, extracurricular programs can also implement tahfidz programs well and can produce graduates who are at least literate in the Qur'an and can even become memorizers of the Qur'an.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how curriculum management contributes to the development of elite classes in pesantren-based madrasahs, focusing on the balance between academic excellence and the preservation of Islamic educational identity. Methods: A qualitative case study was conducted at MAN 2 Cirebon, Full-Day Program. Data were collected from six purposively selected participants (school principal, vice principal of curriculum, teachers, and program coordinators) through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis focusing on curriculum planning, organization, implementation, and evaluation processes. Findings: The study finds that elite class development is supported by an integrated curriculum management system combining the national curriculum with structured academic enrichment. Key practices include blended learning implementation, STEM-oriented subject strengthening, and computer-based competency assessment. These practices are associated with improved student academic performance indicators, particularly higher achievement consistency in core subjects and increased competency test readiness. The analysis further identifies four recurring patterns of effective curriculum management: value-based planning, adaptive organizational structure, structured implementation strategies, and continuous performance evaluation. Research Implications: The findings provide practical guidance for madrasah leaders in designing tiered curriculum systems that can be adapted to different institutional capacities while maintaining academic quality and Islamic educational values. They also offer input for policymakers in strengthening curriculum differentiation strategies in Islamic education. Originality: This study contributes by empirically detailing how curriculum management practices are operationalized to support elite class development in pesantren-based madrasahs through an integrated and context-sensitive approach grounded in Islamic educational settings.
