Abstract

Quality management and service quality are strategic components in improving customer satisfaction in Islamic educational institutions. This study aims to analyze the contribution of service quality to internal and external customer satisfaction using the SERVQUAL theory in the context of Islamic education. The method used is a literature review of the literature on education quality management, service quality, and customer satisfaction. The results of the study show that five dimensions of service quality, namely physical evidence, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy, have a significant influence on the level of customer satisfaction. Internal customer satisfaction, especially teachers and education staff, also plays an essential role in supporting sustainable service quality. The implications of this research emphasize the need to develop an integrated quality system, enhance human resource competence, and strengthen communication between educational institutions and customers to deliver superior, responsive Islamic education services that meet the needs of stakeholders.

Abstract

Social–emotional maturity in early childhood is shaped through interactions across home and school. This study aims to examine how teachers and parents collaboratively support social–emotional development through structured communication and reinforcement. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected from teachers, parents, and school leaders through interviews, observations of classroom behaviors, and analysis of communication documents. The findings show that teachers strategically initiate collaborative structures, consistent reinforcement between home and school strengthens children’s emotional regulation shown by 82% success in routine-following and 76% non-aggressive conflict resolution and communication barriers reduce the continuity of collaborative developmental support. The study contributes a model positioning teachers as drivers of collaboration, rather than passive partners, in emotional development. The practical implication suggests that schools need systematic and reciprocal communication cycles to sustain parental engagement and prevent fragmented reinforcement of emotional competencies.

Abstract

Digital exposure has become a dominant part of early childhood routines and increasingly influences social–emotional development. This study aims to analyze the relationship between screen time, peer interaction, emotional regulation, and parental mediation in children aged 5–6 years. Using a qualitative case study, data were collected from six children, two teachers, and four parents through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings show that high screen exposure triggers weakened emotional regulation, reflected in frequent tantrums, low frustration tolerance, and abrupt mood shifts. Excessive screen time also reduces peer interaction, indicated by 52% low group participation, 48% reluctance to share, and 43% preference for solitary play. Conversely, parental mediation improves social–emotional development by reinforcing cooperation, conflict resolution, and verbal expression. The novelty of this study lies in demonstrating that screen time becomes beneficial only when accompanied by active parental guidance. The results recommend collaborative screen management between schools and families to optimize children’s social–emotional growth.

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of the Assessment Center strategy to select educators and strengthen the quality of human resources in new schools. The recruitment of qualified teaching staff is crucial, yet conventional selection methods, such as administrative reviews and general interviews, often fail to assess the holistic competencies required of professional educators. This literature-based study synthesizes findings from scientific journals, books, and academic reports to examine the effectiveness of Assessment Center components, including competency-based interviews, teaching simulations, and group discussions. Using a descriptive analysis approach, the study evaluates how these components assess cognitive, pedagogical, social, and personality competencies in an integrated manner. The findings show that Assessment Centers provide a more objective, valid, and comprehensive evaluation compared to traditional methods. They enable schools to identify prospective educators whose skills, values, and behavioral characteristics align with institutional needs and cultural expectations. This strategy enhances the accuracy of recruitment decisions and supports the development of a professional, collaborative, and reflective teaching workforce. The study concludes that Assessment Centers are an effective tool for improving the quality of educator selection and can serve as a strategic foundation for building quality-oriented education in new schools.

Abstract

Digital transformation in the education sector has become an inevitable challenge alongside rapid advancements in information technology. This study aims to examine the strategic role of information professionals in supporting digital transformation within educational institutions. Using a qualitative approach supported by a comprehensive literature review, the study analyzes how these professionals contribute to planning, implementing, and sustaining digital initiatives. The findings indicate several key barriers, including limited budgets, resistance to change, skill gaps, and inadequate technological infrastructure. Despite these constraints, information professionals play a critical role as change agents who drive innovation, enhance administrative efficiency, and strengthen the alignment between digital solutions and institutional goals. The study implies that developing professional competencies, improving digital literacy among stakeholders, and fostering stronger collaboration between information personnel and institutional leaders are essential strategies for achieving sustainable digital transformation in education. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of human resource readiness in digital initiatives and offers practical insights for policymakers and educational administrators.

Abstract

This study examines how instructional leadership enacted by madrasah principals strengthens students’ religious character in Islamic primary education. The erosion of religious values among students in the context of globalization and digital culture presents a critical challenge for Islamic schools. Prior studies indicate that character education initiatives often remain fragmented and insufficiently integrated into school culture. This research employed a qualitative case study design at MI Hamzanwadi NW Gelogor, utilizing semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis. Data were analyzed through data condensation, display, and verification to ensure analytical rigor. The findings indicate that strengthening religious character begins with participatory program planning informed by contextual needs and collective teacher involvement. Exemplary leadership practices, particularly the principal’s direct engagement in daily religious activities, serve as a key mechanism for internalizing values. Continuous supervision and reflective evaluation further support program sustainability and teacher commitment. These interconnected practices foster a coherent religious school culture that embeds Islamic values into students’ everyday experiences. The study contributes theoretically by framing religious character education as an organizational process mediated by instructional leadership and offers practical guidance for strengthening leadership capacity in Islamic schools. Future research is recommended to employ comparative and longitudinal designs across diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

This study analyzes social entrepreneurship business models in empowering housewives through hand-woven micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Poto Village, integrating educational management dimensions in community-based economic activities. A qualitative approach was applied, with informants selected using the snowball sampling technique. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, including data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Findings show that the Poto Village weaving business model has a strong social entrepreneurship orientation, with women weavers actively contributing to household income and cultural preservation. Key value propositions include authentic traditional motifs, gold threads, crystals, and a manual production process passed down through generations. Customer relationships remain trust-based, marketing relies on direct sales and word-of-mouth, and formal partnerships with government and digital platforms are limited. From an educational management perspective, empowerment involves planning, organizing, implementation, and evaluation through training, mentoring, and skill development. The Triple Layer Business Model Canvas analysis highlights increased income, women’s economic independence, social cohesion, and cultural sustainability. Integrating educational management dimensions into social entrepreneurship can enhance the sustainability and transformative impact of community-based MSMEs.

Abstract

This study aims to examine expressive speech acts in Habiburrahman El Shirazy’s novel Kembara Rindu and to explore how these speech acts reflect educational leadership and management values within socio-religious contexts. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study adopts a pragmatic framework grounded in Speech Act Theory to analyze selected character dialogues. The data consist of utterances expressing gratitude, apology, praise, complaint, lamentation, and religious wishes, which are examined to identify their types and pragmatic functions within the narrative. The findings reveal that expressive speech acts are predominantly employed to maintain interpersonal harmony, reinforce moral positioning, and construct religious identity. Moreover, these expressive acts function as strategic linguistic tools that reflect core dimensions of educational management, including value-based leadership, ethical communication, emotional regulation, and character formation. Rather than serving merely as emotional expressions, the speech acts demonstrate how language operates as a managerial instrument for guiding behavior, managing social relations, and transmitting educational values. This study implies that literary texts can serve as reflective resources for educational management by illustrating effective communication practices and moral leadership, thereby contributing to the development of character-based and value-oriented educational management models.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of creativity and product innovation on business development and competitiveness in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), using Bale Seafood as a case study. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews with the business owner and direct field observations.

From an educational management perspective, these practices reflect informal learning, experiential knowledge development, and capacity building within the enterprise. The study implies that strengthening learning-based management, entrepreneurial education, and skill development is essential for enhancing MSME innovation capacity. Support from stakeholders, such as training programs and mentoring, can further facilitate the transfer of knowledge and the adoption of appropriate technology. Overall, integrating educational management principles into innovation strategies can serve as an effective approach to improving MSME competitiveness in dynamic market environments.
