<![CDATA[This study examines the effectiveness of the monitoring and evaluation (monev) system in improving lecturer professionalism in the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) Study Program at IDIA Prenduan. Using a qualitative approach and case study method, this study analyzed data from in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document review with four key informants. The research findings indicate that the SIMASTER-based monev system successfully increased lecturer compliance with the RPS by 22% (from 65% in 2020 to 87% in 2023), while encouraging 45% of lecturers to adopt active learning methods. However, the implementation of this system faced obstacles in the form of technological resistance from 23% of senior lecturers and negative perceptions of student evaluations (30% of respondents). The uniqueness of this study lies in the integration of Islamic boarding school values (al-muhasabah and tazkiyatun nafs) which were proven to be effective in increasing lecturer acceptance of the evaluation process (85% of respondents). This study recommends the development of an integrated monitoring and evaluation model that combines a technocratic approach with the distinctive values of Islamic boarding schools, intensive training for senior lecturers, and the refinement of evaluation instruments based on 360-degree feedback. These findings provide an important contribution to the development of a quality assurance system in religious higher education institutions with a distinctive cultural approach. ]]>
