Abstract

This study aims to examine the contribution of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based learning management to improving the effectiveness of the Independent Curriculum, which emphasizes flexibility, differentiated instruction, and continuous assessment in authentic educational contexts. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected from school leaders, teachers, and academic coordinators involved in curriculum implementation through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis to explore AI-supported instructional planning, learning implementation, and assessment practices. The findings reveal that AI-based learning management enhances instructional effectiveness by facilitating differentiated learning, enabling real-time monitoring of student progress, supporting evidence-based decision-making, and reducing teachers’ administrative workload. These results demonstrate that AI functions not merely as a pedagogical tool but as an integrated learning management system that strengthens curriculum implementation. The study implies that the strategic integration of AI into learning management practices can support the sustainability and effectiveness of the Independent Curriculum, provided that institutional readiness, clear management strategies, and continuous professional capacity development are adequately addressed

Abstract

Dynamic changes in government policies and public assignments require employees of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) with Public Service Obligations to demonstrate a high level of adaptive capacity. This condition positions workforce agility as an important capacity in supporting work effectiveness within a continuously changing bureaucratic environment. This study aims to examine the effect of psychological empowerment on workforce agility within a public sector organization characterized by policy driven task dynamics. The study employed a quantitative method with a simple linear regression design. The research participants were 82 employees of BUMN X, collected using a convenience sampling technique. The results indicate that psychological empowerment has a significant effect on workforce agility, with a coefficient of determination of 0.292, indicating a moderate strength of influence. These findings suggest that strengthening psychological empowerment can serve as a strategic basis for human resource policies, employee development programs, and managerial practices aimed at enhancing workforce agility in BUMN organizations with public service mandates

Abstract

The transformation and increasing demands for quality improvement in Islamic education require a management model that extends beyond structural and administrative orientations to incorporate spiritual and ethical values. Ihsan, as a fundamental Islamic principle, offers a relevant foundation for educational management practices. This study aims to analyze the implementation of ihsan-based management strategies in improving the quality of Islamic education at Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah (MDT) Al-Hidayah Pasir Biru, Cibiru District, Bandung City. Employing a qualitative approach with a field research design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with institutional managers and key stakeholders. The data were analyzed thematically based on established indicators of Islamic education quality, including teacher professionalism, curriculum and learning processes, facilities and infrastructure, as well as learning evaluation and assessment. The findings reveal that ihsan-based management is systematically implemented and functions as a managerial ethos that promotes continuous and holistic quality improvement. Core values such as responsibility, trustworthiness, sincerity, and fairness underpin institutional management practices and contribute positively to both graduate quality and public trust. The study implies that ihsan-based management can be operationalized as a sustainable, context-sensitive strategy for enhancing the quality of Islamic education and may serve as a conceptual model for similar Islamic educational institutions

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the leadership of madrasah principals in improving institutional quality at Islamic senior high schools. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the principal’s leadership was categorized as optimal, achieving a performance score of 78.57%, which reflects effective practices in curriculum development, teacher supervision, school management, and student development programs. Supporting factors for institutional quality improvement include the principal’s strong commitment to quality enhancement, effective communication, and collaborative relationships within the madrasah community. However, several challenges were identified, particularly limited educational facilities, constraints in human resources, and insufficient monitoring of teacher performance. The implications of this study suggest that strengthening leadership capacity, improving resource allocation, and implementing systematic teacher performance evaluation are essential strategies for enhancing institutional quality in Islamic senior high schools. These findings contribute to the understanding of effective madrasah leadership practices and provide practical insights for policymakers and school leaders seeking to improve educational quality in Islamic educational institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the role of the head of madrasah in optimizing educational administration, with a particular focus on the transition toward digital administration at MTs Miftahul Jannah Mantingan, Ngawi. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method using a case study approach. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, involving key informants consisting of the head of madrasah, vice principal for curriculum, administrative staff, and teachers. The findings reveal that the head of madrasah plays a strategic role as an administrator, manager, supervisor, and motivator in driving administrative transformation. The madrasah has initiated digitalization by utilizing Google Spreadsheet and Google Form, as well as specialized applications such as the Madrasah Budget Plan (RK) and Digital Madrasah Report (RDM), particularly in financial administration. This transition has resulted in improved work efficiency and positive responses from students’ parents. However, several challenges persist, including limited internet infrastructure, financial constraints, and inadequate human resources with sufficient digital competencies. The study implies that the optimization of educational administration is highly dependent on visionary leadership of the head of madrasah, particularly in continuous planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising administrative processes, as well as in empowering educational personnel and effectively integrating information technology to establish an orderly, transparent, and accountable administrative system

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the digital transformation of educational administration at MTs Miftahul Jannah, Ngawi, in order to improve service quality and operational efficiency. In the digital era, educational institutions are required to shift from manual administrative processes to integrated digital systems to ensure transparency and data-driven decision-making. This research employed a qualitative approach using a field research design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and field observations involving the principal, administrative staff, and students. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that MTs Miftahul Jannah has successfully initiated digital transformation in financial administration by utilizing digital platforms such as Google Forms and AppSheet, which contributed to improved efficiency, accuracy, and responsiveness of administrative services. However, the transformation has not yet been fully integrated due to challenges related to unstable internet connectivity and limited digital literacy among human resources. The study implies that sustainable digital transformation in madrasah administration requires continuous capacity building, systematic training programs, and strengthened technological infrastructure. These efforts are essential to achieving a fully integrated digital education service system by 2029

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types and communicative functions of illocutionary acts employed in President Prabowo Subianto’s address delivered at the 2025 Annual Session of the People’s Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia (MPR RI) and to examine their implications for national education management. Using a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in Searle’s Speech Act Theory, the data were obtained from the official transcript of the presidential address and analyzed through systematic classification and interpretative analysis. The findings reveal that representative and directive illocutionary acts dominate the speech, indicating the President’s efforts to assert national conditions, legitimize strategic policy directions, and encourage collective participation, including in the education sector. Commissive acts reflect governmental responsibility and long-term commitment to educational reform and human resource development, while expressive acts function to reinforce moral values, ideological orientation, and emotional engagement with stakeholders. These results suggest that illocutionary acts serve as strategic tools in political communication and leadership discourse. The study implies that understanding speech acts in presidential discourse is essential for education managers and policymakers, as such discourse shapes policy orientation, institutional governance, and the implementation of national education management strategies

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types and pragmatic functions of speech acts performed by the character Anxiety in Pixar’s animated film Inside Out 2 and to examine their implications for educational management, particularly in the context of social-emotional learning. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in Speech Act Theory, the data were obtained from Anxiety’s utterances in the film and analyzed through classification and interpretative techniques. The utterances were categorized based on Searle’s taxonomy of illocutionary acts. The findings reveal that directive and expressive speech acts dominate Anxiety’s language, reflecting its role as a controlling and protective emotion that influences decision-making and emotional regulation during adolescence. Directive acts function to manage behavior and anticipate risk, while expressive acts convey emotional tension, concern, and fear. These results indicate that speech acts in animated films serve as linguistic representations of psychological states. The study implies that understanding emotional speech acts can support educational management practices, particularly in classroom management and social-emotional learning programs, by providing insights into how language shapes emotional regulation, student behavior, and supportive learning environments

Abstract

Learning at the senior high school (SMA) level represents a critical phase in students’ academic and psychological development. In Indonesia, the senior high school completion rate remains relatively low, indicating the need to examine psychological factors that support students’ optimal learning experiences. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and academic flow among senior high school students in Surabaya. A quantitative correlational research design was employed, involving 250 students from grades X and XI selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using self-efficacy and academic flow scales and analyzed using Pearson correlation and simple regression techniques. The results showed a strong and significant positive relationship between self-efficacy and academic flow (r = 0.613; p < 0.01), indicating that students with higher self-efficacy tend to experience higher levels of academic flow. Furthermore, self-efficacy was found to be a significant predictor of academic flow, demonstrating its substantial contribution to students’ engagement in learning activities. These findings imply that strengthening students’ self-efficacy is a crucial psychological and managerial strategy for fostering optimal learning experiences and enhancing academic engagement in senior high school contexts. Educational management practices that support confidence, autonomy, and mastery-oriented learning environments are therefore recommended to improve students’ academic flow

Abstract

This study aims to formulate a comprehensive implementation strategy for a digital visualization-based management system in the Baitul Arqom program as a core non-formal Islamic education initiative for cadre regeneration to improve data utilization and decision-making efficiency. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews with administrators of the Council for Cadre Education (Majelis Pendidikan Kader) and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), which were analyzed using SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats). The findings indicate that although Baitul Arqom has a strong organizational structure and ideological foundation, its management remains constrained by manual administrative processes, limited technological infrastructure, and low digital literacy among senior administrators. Based on the SWOT analysis, a three-phase implementation strategy was formulated, consisting of infrastructure modernization, human resource capacity building, and the development of a digital visualization dashboard for real-time monitoring and evaluation. This study implies that the successful implementation of a visualization-based management system requires a holistic approach that prioritizes organizational culture transformation, continuous capacity development, and phased system adoption to ensure sustainable and data-driven cadre management within the Baitul Arqom program
