Abstract

Islamic junior secondary schools (madrasah) in Indonesia face persistent challenges of quality disparity and intensifying institutional competition, demanding effective leadership strategies to sustain organizational performance and public trust. This study aimed to analyze the transformational leadership strategies employed by the principal of MTsN 3 Malang in realizing organizational capacity and competitive advantage. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis involving the principal, vice-principals, teachers, and educational staff as key informants; data validity was ensured through source and method triangulation, followed by condensation, display, and conclusion-drawing as analytical procedures. The findings revealed that transformational leadership was operationalized through three integrated strategies: (1) participatory and data-driven strategic decision-making directed at strengthening flagship programs and educational service quality; (2) mobilization and empowerment of human resources through collaborative culture-building, collective commitment, and professional support for teachers and staff; and (3) institutional change and innovation encompassing excellence program development, student achievement coaching, and cultivation of a competitive academic culture. These three strategies collectively formed a distinctive leadership typology termed Transformational Leadership with Inspirational Motivation (TLIM), which functioned as the strategic driver behind a significant rise in student achievements from 28 to 71 recorded accomplishments between 2023 and 2024 alongside strengthened institutional reputation and sustained community trust. This study contributes a contextualized TLIM model for Islamic educational management, offering empirically grounded implications for madrasah leadership development policy and practice in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Character education is one of the main focuses of national education that requires systematic management so that character values can be internalized in students' behavior. In the context of madrasas, religious culture is a strategic instrument to support character formation through various learning and habituation activities. However, the success of character education is largely determined by the effectiveness of the learning management applied. This study aims to analyze the management of religious culture-based character learning in MIN 1 Malang and MIN 2 Malang which includes aspects of planning, implementation, and evaluation. The research uses a qualitative approach with a multisite study design. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies involving madrasah heads, deputy heads of curriculum, teachers, and students. Data analysis is carried out through data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing with cross-site analysis techniques. The results of the study show that character learning planning is carried out in an integrated manner with the vision and mission of the madrasah, curriculum, religious culture programs, and the organization of supporting resources. The implementation of character learning is realized through the integration of character values in learning, habituation of religious culture, teacher example, and continuous coordination. MIN 1 Malang implements a coordination pattern based on the leadership of madrasah heads, while MIN 2 Malang develops systemic patterns through special teams and strengthening institutional religious culture. Evaluation is carried out on an ongoing basis through supervision, program monitoring, and assessment of student character development. The findings of the study confirm that the integration of management functions and religious culture is the main factor in the success of the formation of students' character in madrasah.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the management of a pesantren-based social entrepreneurship programme in an effort to strengthen the economic independence of graduates from the Fathul Ulum Islamic Boarding School in Diwek, Jombang. The study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the boarding school’s supervisors, programme managers and alumni, and supplemented by observation and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through data condensation, data presentation and drawing of conclusions. The research findings indicate that the social entrepreneurship programme is managed through integrated management functions, comprising planning, implementation and evaluation. During the planning stage, the interests and potential of the students were mapped out, forming the basis for phased development through the ‘santripreneur’, ‘pesantrenpreneur’ and ‘alumni social entrepreneur’ schemes. The programme is implemented through the involvement of students in the boarding school’s business units, as well as by providing alumni with access to capital, land, mentoring and business networks through a syirkah agreement. Evaluation is carried out on an ongoing basis through alumni forums, business mentoring and spiritual guidance. These findings indicate that alumni who participated in the programme have been able to develop independent businesses in the fields of agriculture, livestock farming, screen printing, the food industry and printing. The alumni’s economic independence is demonstrated by their ability to generate their own sources of income and manage their businesses sustainably. This research proposes a pesantren-based socio-entrepreneurial management model that integrates economic empowerment, entrepreneurship education and the values of da’wah into a single, sustainable system.

Abstract

This study aims to formulate a model of Good Governance of Islamic Boarding Schools in the management of Islamic education in Islamic boarding school-based madrasas in the digital era. Digital transformation has driven increased demands for transparency, accountability, and effectiveness of Islamic educational institutions, so a governance model is needed that is able to integrate the principles of good governance with the values of Islamic boarding schools. This study uses a qualitative approach with literature studies through systematic literature review with the stages of literature selection, thematic coding, concept synthesis, and comparative model formulation. The analysis was carried out through a targeted literature search, thematic grouping, comparison between findings, and concept synthesis to build a model. The literature used includes the study of education governance, Islamic education management, and digital transformation. The results of the study show that pesantren-based madrasah governance is hybrid, namely a combination of kiai authority, pesantren's collective culture, and modern management demands that work through the interaction between value logic, institutional structure, and digital system. Digitalization acts as a reinforcement in the aspects of transparency, accountability, data management efficiency, and stakeholder involvement through information system integration and institutional data standardization, although it is still faced with limited human resource capacity, cultural resistance, and institutional readiness. The novelty of this research lies in the effort to more fully assemble the four main elements, namely Islamic values, good governance principles, digital technology, and the institutional character of pesantren into one analytical framework that places pesantren as actors who participate in shaping the direction of transformation, not just recipients of change that have been fragmented in previous studies in the context of Indonesian pesantren so far.

Abstract

Pesantren as an Islamic educational institution has a strategic role in producing superior human resources, but not all pesantren are able to consistently produce students' achievements, especially in the Musabaqah Tilawatil Qur’an (MTQ) competition. This indicates the importance of management based on planned and sustainable strategic management. This study aims to analyze the pesantren's strategic management in developing students' achievements in the MTQ competition. The study uses a qualitative approach with a multi-site study design at Pondok Pesantren Madrasatul Qur’an Tebuireng Jombang and Pondok Pesantren Walisongo Cukir Jombang. Research subjects included caretakers, supervisors, and students, with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis uses an interactive model through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, as well as validity testing through source and technique triangulation. The research results indicate that both pesantren implement strategic management comprehensively through strategic environmental analysis, strategy formulation based on pesantren values, implementation of MTQ development programs integrated into the education system, as well as continuous evaluation through program monitoring and improvement. The difference in strategy lies in the institutional approach and the pattern of technical development tailored to the characteristics of each pesantren. This study contributes to the development of Islamic education management studies by offering a conceptual model of pesantren strategic management based on Qur'anic achievement built on two distinct, empirically grounded strategic patterns a specialization-based pathway centered on branch-specific talent mapping at Madrasatul Qur’an Tebuireng, and a habituation-based pathway centered on collective discipline and structured daily routine at Walisongo Cukir, and provides practical implications for the continuous improvement of MTQ development quality.

Abstract

Elementary education faces complex challenges in managing students' learning processes involving cognitive (attention and memory) and affective (emotion) aspects. Transformational leadership of school principals plays a strategic role in creating a learning ecosystem that supports the optimization of students' neurocognitive functions. This research library aims to analyze the integration between neuropsychological principles (attention, memory, and emotion) and transformational leadership practices in elementary education, as well as formulating effective management strategies. The method used is a systematic literature review analyzing 18 sources covering Atkinson-Shiffrin's information processing theory, educational neuropsychology, transformational leadership, and research on emotion and learning. The results show that (1) students' attention can be managed through leadership strategies that create distraction-free environments and optimal stimulation; (2) working and long-term memory can be optimized through structured repetition, meaningful learning, and information elaboration; (3) positive emotions (happiness) increase memory encoding efficiency, while negative emotions (anxiety, sadness) disrupt retention and recall processes. Transformational leadership contributes through exemplary behavior, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individual consideration. This study recommends an integrative leadership model based on neuropsychology to improve learning quality in elementary education.

Abstract

Arabic language learning in Islamic religious universities faces challenges such as diverse initial student abilities, low levels of active participation, and the need to integrate a communicative approach with an Islamic context. This situation is further complicated in institutions located in Muslim minority areas, necessitating systematic and adaptive learning management innovations. This study aims to analyze Arabic language learning management innovations at the Jembrana Islamic School of Islamic Studies, Bali, encompassing aspects of learning planning, implementation, and evaluation. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with lecturers and students, and analysis of learning documents. Data were analyzed thematically to identify key patterns and findings related to learning innovation practices. The results indicate that Arabic language learning management encompasses learning planning conducted through student needs analysis, goal formulation based on a communicative approach, and the selection of student-centered learning strategies. Learning implementation integrates dialogue activities, conversation simulations, and project-based assignments that encourage active student involvement. Learning evaluation is conducted comprehensively, encompassing aspects of knowledge, attitudes, and skills, and is supported by lecturer reflection and student feedback as part of the process evaluation. Arabic language learning management at the Jembrana Islamic School of Education, Bali, demonstrates a systematic effort to improve the quality of learning. To support sustainable innovation, strengthening the use of digital media and managing learning time is necessary to ensure a more effective learning process that meets student needs.

Abstract

This research aims to formulate an ijtihad model of an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based prophetic curriculum in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) from a curriculum management perspective. The study is motivated by the rapid transformation of education in the digital era, characterized by the widespread adoption of AI technologies that enhance learning efficiency and accessibility while simultaneously raising concerns related to ethics, dehumanization, and the erosion of educational values. This research employed a qualitative library research approach combined with normative-managerial conceptual analysis. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journal articles, scholarly books, and international reports published between 2013 and 2025, focusing on Islamic education, curriculum management, educational technology, and artificial intelligence. Sources were selected based on relevance, academic credibility, and contribution to discussions on prophetic education, AI integration, and curriculum development. The findings indicate that the development of an AI-based PAI curriculum requires a foundation of moral ijtihad as an ethical framework for responding to technological advancements. The proposed curriculum model integrates the prophetic values of humanization, liberation, and transcendence into the core functions of curriculum management, namely planning, organizing, implementation, and evaluation. The model offers several advantages over existing PAI curriculum frameworks by embedding prophetic values throughout the curriculum process, providing a structured mechanism for AI integration with ethical safeguards, and addressing contemporary challenges such as digital literacy, algorithmic bias, and technological dependency. These dimensions are often absent in conventional PAI curriculum models. Consequently, the proposed framework contributes to curriculum innovation and offers a conceptual basis for developing Islamic education policies and practices that balance technological advancement with character formation and spiritual development in the digital era.

Abstract

The establishment of the Directorate General of Pesantren under Presidential Regulation No. 18 of 2026 represents a major institutional reform in Indonesia’s religious education governance. From a public policy perspective, institutional restructuring serves as a governance instrument to strengthen policy capacity, coordination, and implementation effectiveness while addressing long-standing fragmentation in pesantren administration (Dunn, 2003; Howlett, Ramesh, & Perl, 2020). With more than 42,000 registered pesantren serving millions of santri, this reform reflects the growing strategic role of pesantren within the national education system (Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, 2025). This study employs a qualitative library research design using purposively selected policy documents, government regulations, academic books, and peer-reviewed journal articles. Data were analyzed through qualitative content analysis, thematic coding, and comparative policy analysis, while source triangulation ensured the credibility of the findings. The results suggest that the Directorate General creates opportunities for stronger institutional coordination and policy integration but may also generate challenges related to bureaucratic expansion, overlapping authority, fiscal inequality, and institutional adaptability. This study argues that policy effectiveness depends not merely on organizational restructuring but on governance quality, operationalized through adaptive decision-making, participatory stakeholder engagement, and equitable resource allocation and policy implementation across diverse categories of pesantren.
