Abstract

A culture of critical thinking is an important competency for Islamic Education Management students, but its development through student organizations is still not sufficiently documented. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Dialectical Assembly program, analyze its impact on students' critical thinking culture, and identify supporting and inhibiting factors. A qualitative approach with case study design is used. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, & Saldana model. Findings: (1) The Dialectical Assembly was held as a regular discussion forum on Tuesdays with topics relevant to Islamic Education Management; (2) improvements were observed in confidence to express opinions, argumentation quality, and participation among introverted students; (3) The main supporting factor is leadership regeneration, while the inhibiting factors include suboptimal documentation and limited access to literature. The practical implication is that structured discussion forums need to be institutionalized in the student's academic calendar.
