Abstract

This study aims to analyse the implementation of the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) empowerment program and identify factors that inhibit its implementation. The study used a qualitative case study approach, with data collection through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The results indicate that the program has been implemented based on a clear legal basis. Core programs include business management training, the development of new entrepreneurs, and the facilitation of halal certification. Obstacles encountered include budget constraints, low community participation, minimal marketing support, and product legality issues. This study recommends increasing cross-sector collaboration, strengthening post-training mentoring, and optimising digital technology to expand the market for MSMEs. This study offers implications for the importance of integrating practical entrepreneurship into the curriculum, strengthening post-training mentoring, and incorporating digital technology into learning. Vocational education needs to collaborate with the industrial sector and government to create relevant programs that prepare MSMEs to face the challenges of the global market.

Abstract

This research examines the role of authentic leadership in fostering trust and collaboration among teachers in Indonesian school environments. By employing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this research analyses various studies on the application of authentic leadership in the educational context. The research results indicate that school principals who prioritise transparency, integrity, and openness can increase teacher trust and foster a more harmonious work environment. In addition, authentic leadership encourages collaboration between teachers by providing freedom to innovate and share learning strategies. This approach also helps school principals face the challenges of cultural diversity and limited resources through innovative solutions, such as the use of technology and involvement of the school community. Thus, authentic leadership has been proven to contribute to increasing motivation, discipline and the quality of education in Indonesian schools. The implications of this research indicate that implementing authentic leadership can be an effective strategy for increasing teacher trust, collaboration, and motivation in Indonesian schools. Therefore, principals need to develop authentic leadership skills to create a harmonious work environment and encourage quality educational innovation.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Merdeka (Independent) Curriculum management in enhancing the effectiveness of differentiated learning in Indonesian schools. Curriculum management plays a pivotal role in improving education quality, particularly in the implementation of the Independent Curriculum, which grants flexibility to tailor learning to individual student needs. Differentiated learning fosters inclusive, adaptive, and responsive classrooms that address diverse abilities, interests, and learning styles. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by the PRISMA framework, this research analyzed 20 peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 and 2024 from Google Scholar and SINTA. Findings reveal that the Independent Curriculum’s flexible, student-centered approach significantly supports differentiated learning, improving student engagement and enabling teachers to adapt instruction effectively. However, challenges remain, including varying levels of teacher preparedness and the complexity of addressing diverse learner profiles. Addressing these issues requires targeted professional development and sustained teacher support. Overall, this review highlights how Independent Curriculum management contributes to more active, personalized learning experiences, ultimately advancing educational inclusivity and responsiveness in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the potential and strategic development of an Islamic banking organization using the SWOT analysis and Porter’s Five Forces framework. Amid increasing competition in the Islamic banking sector, effective strategies are essential to expand market share, enhance service performance, and maintain competitiveness. The research was conducted at the organization’s head office using a descriptive qualitative approach, complemented by quantitative methods through IFE (Internal Factor Evaluation) and EFE (External Factor Evaluation) scoring, along with strategy mapping in the SWOT matrix. The results show an IFE score of 0.51 and an EFE score of 0.91, placing the organization in Quadrant I (Aggressive Strategy), indicating strong internal capabilities and effective utilization of external opportunities. Key strengths include a strong local reputation, competent human resources, and diverse Sharia-compliant savings products. However, weaknesses were found in limited digital innovation and uneven marketing reach. External opportunities include rising public awareness of Islamic finance, digital advancements, and supportive government regulations. Porter’s analysis revealed high bargaining power of buyers and suppliers, strong threat of substitutes, and intense competition in regions like Bogor. Recommended strategies include digital service enhancement, partnerships with educational and religious institutions, and public literacy campaigns on Islamic finance to drive sustainable growth.

Abstract

State Elementary School has adopted the S.Id Microsite Platform as part of efforts to improve education quality through digital-based learning. This platform serves to accelerate the dissemination of information, expand access to learning materials, and enhance communication among school stakeholders. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method with principals, teachers, and students as research subjects. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the utilization of the S.Id Microsite follows structured stages, starting with preparation and training, and continuing with daily use in teaching and learning. Its implementation is supported by strong school commitment, adequate infrastructure, and the platform’s ease of access and communication features. However, challenges remain, including unstable internet connectivity, limited digital literacy among some teachers and students, as well as device shortages and time management constraints. To address these obstacles, schools need to improve technology access, strengthen digital literacy, and manage the platform more effectively. Overall, the S.Id Microsite has contributed positively to learning innovation and provides a promising step toward the digitalization of education at the elementary school level.

Abstract

This study explores the transformation of organizational culture in Islamic educational institutions, with a specific focus on developing a quality-oriented learning environment aimed at enhancing both academic performance and character formation. Employing a qualitative approach through an ethnographic case study design, the research was conducted between 2024 and 2025. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with eight key informants, six months of participatory observation, and analysis of institutional documents. Findings reveal that a tauhid-based cultural transformation successfully fostered a high-quality learning ecosystem through the synergy of three fundamental dimensions: the internalization of spiritual values as a foundation for strategic decision-making, transformational leadership that cultivates a shared vision and empowers stakeholders, and the integration of constructivist pedagogy through project- and inquiry-based learning models. Character development outcomes were equally notable, reflected in reduced disciplinary violations, improved consistency in religious practices, and heightened social empathy among students. This study contributes theoretically by introducing the concept of a Tauhid-Based Quality Learning Environment (TQLE)—a holistic framework that harmonizes academic excellence with Islamic character formation. Practically, it offers an implementable model for Islamic educational institutions seeking to embed spiritual values into sustainable quality education practices.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of madrasah principals' leadership in implementing the Child-Friendly School Program (Madrasah Ramah Anak), while also examining its impacts, supporting factors, and challenges. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. Data analysis involved data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that madrasah principals play multiple leadership roles—as educators, managers, supervisors, innovators, and leaders—in driving the implementation of child-friendly initiatives. The program is carried out systematically through daily habit-building activities, the provision of child-friendly infrastructure, and cross-sectoral collaboration. Positive impacts include increased student comfort, reduced bullying, heightened awareness of nutrition and hygiene, and the creation of a safe and inclusive school culture. Key enabling factors include regulatory support from the Ministry of Religious Affairs, active teacher participation, and partnerships with local health centers and law enforcement. However, the program faces several challenges, such as limited funding, teacher resistance to change, and difficulties in maintaining consistent implementation. These findings highlight the critical role of visionary leadership in transforming Islamic schools into safe, inclusive, and student-centered learning environments.

Abstract

Human resource (HR) management in Indonesia’s education sector continues to face persistent challenges that directly influence the quality of national education. This study aims to analyze problems related to employment disparities between civil servant (PNS) and honorary teachers, unequal teacher distribution, recruitment quality, and welfare issues in educational institutions. Using a literature review method, the research synthesizes data from books, academic journals, and official government documents to identify key patterns and policy gaps. The results show that disparities in employment status create inequality in job security and motivation, while recruitment and placement often fail to reflect competency-based standards. Moreover, inadequate welfare and professional development opportunities significantly affect teacher satisfaction and performance. Therefore, this study emphasizes the need for comprehensive HR reforms in education to ensure equity, professionalism, and sustainable development among educators.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between the service quality of educational institutions and consumers’ purchase intentions. The research is motivated by the growing importance of institutional quality in maintaining the competitiveness and sustainability of educational institutions in an era of rapid change. A quantitative research design was employed using a simple correlation analysis to identify the degree of association between the two variables. The study involved 100 respondents, consisting of parents of students, selected through a cluster sampling technique from four regions where the elementary schools are located. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, and the results of the item analysis indicated that all questionnaire items demonstrated high validity and reliability. These findings suggest that the data are highly credible and that the conclusions drawn from the analysis are reliable. The results of the correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between service quality and purchase intention. This implies that the higher the perceived quality of services provided by the educational institution, the greater the consumers’ willingness to enroll or recommend the institution.
