Abstract

This study aims to examine the concepts, implementation, and challenges of innovation and continuous improvement in Islamic education in the digital era through a literature review. The research method involves systematic searches of national and international journal databases, followed by thematic analysis to synthesize key findings. The results show that: (1) Islamic education innovation includes curriculum updates, interactive teaching methods, and the use of digital technology; (2) continuous improvement in schools/madrassas is often implemented through Total Quality Management (TQM) principles and the PDCA cycle; (3) digital technology expands access and enhances teaching methods but presents challenges in terms of human resources, infrastructure, and policy; (4) successful implementation depends on Leadership, teacher training, and stakeholder collaboration. The study concludes that integrating quality management strategies, technological capacity, and contextual approaches to the curriculum is crucial for sustainable innovation. The study provides recommendations for policymakers, educational managers, and researchers to develop implementation models responsive to local conditions.

Abstract

The uneven distribution of educational quality in Indonesia remains a serious challenge, particularly due to the inconsistent implementation of the National Education Standards (SNP) across regions. This disparity impacts the quality of learning, including in Islamic Religious Education (PAI), which demands both academic achievement and character building. This study aims to analyze the role of educational quality assurance certification institutions in improving PAI quality through monitoring, coaching, and evaluation mechanisms. The method used was a qualitative study based on a literature review, with data sources consisting of regulations, institutional reports, and national and international scientific publications. The results indicate that certification institutions play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with quality standards, providing mentoring, and strengthening the integration of spiritual values ​​in PAI learning. However, implementation gaps between regions and variations in audit quality were identified that need to be addressed. This study concludes that PAI quality assurance requires a holistic approach encompassing both academic and spiritual aspects. The contribution of this research lies in strengthening educational quality assurance theory and in developing a new understanding of the integration of Islamic values into certification mechanisms.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the Bina Baca Al-Qur'an (BBAQ) program at school as an effort to improve the quality of Quranic education in elementary schools. The research focuses on analyzing the program's foundation, resource readiness, activity mechanisms, and student outcomes. The study's objects include Quranic teachers, control books, memorization targets per grade level, and the implementation of reading and memorization activities held Monday through Thursday. The study uses the CIPP evaluation model, which assesses the context, input, process, and product through document review and activity observation. The results indicate that the BBAQ program aligns with the school's needs, effectively addressing the variation in students' reading abilities and supporting the school's religious vision. Regarding input, the school has provided adequate supporting components; however, teacher competence and documentation consistency need improvement. The implementation process is routine but inconsistent due to teacher rotation, time constraints, and varying student abilities. In terms of product, the program shows strong memorization outcomes, with many students completing Juz 30, while reading achievements remain uneven due to the lack of clear achievement standards per grade level.

Abstract

Islamic educational institutions increasingly face academic, administrative, financial, and safety challenges that require formal risk management to ensure sustainability. This research aims to analyze how ISO 31000 can be integrated with Maqasid al-Shariah to construct a risk governance model that is both technically effective and ethically grounded. Using a library research methodology, relevant books, international journal articles, previous studies, and risk management documents were critically analyzed through content analysis to identify conceptual patterns and gaps. Findings reveal three major results: first, risk governance is implemented using dual filters technical feasibility and Sharia ethical compliance; second, ISO-driven mitigation supports institutional sustainability through strong documentation, audits, and follow-up actions; third, holistic risk mapping aligns risk priorities with the five Maqasid dimensions, ensuring that mitigation protects religion, life, intellect, progeny, and property. This study contributes a hybrid risk management framework that transcends procedural compliance by embedding Islamic ethical imperatives. It implies that the sustainability of Islamic education depends on institutionalizing continuous evaluation and value-based decision-making.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) to enhance the quality of Islamic Education using a library research approach. By reviewing accredited journals, books, proceedings, and relevant documents, TQM is explored as a strategic approach to improving Islamic Education effectiveness through principles of continuous improvement, customer focus (students), process strengthening, and human resource empowerment. The findings indicate that TQM implementation positively impacts the quality of Islamic Education, teacher professionalism, classroom management, and the development of students' religious character. The study also identifies supporting factors such as Leadership commitment, a quality culture, and data-driven evaluation systems. At the same time, challenges include a limited understanding of TQM concepts and the lack of measurable quality standards for Islamic Education. Literature synthesis emphasizes that integrating TQM into Islamic Education has significant potential to comprehensively enhance Islamic education when applied consistently, collaboratively, and contextually. This research is expected to serve as a conceptual reference for educational institutions in developing TQM-based quality strategies for Islamic Education.

Abstract

The implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in Islamic education has become a crucial issue for improving service quality, learning, and institutional governance amid the challenges of globalization and the digital era. This study aims to explore the implementation of TQM in Islamic educational institutions and identify the barriers and their contribution to improving educational quality. The research method is a descriptive, qualitative approach, using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis across several Islamic schools and madrasas that have implemented TQM. The results show that although TQM has excellent potential to improve educational quality, its implementation is still hampered by a hierarchical organizational culture, a mismatch between modern managerial principles and Islamic educational culture, and limited infrastructure and human resources. This study concludes that to increase the effectiveness of TQM in Islamic education, there needs to be a more contextual and adaptive adjustment to the management model, as well as the strengthening of the integration of Islamic values across all managerial aspects. The contribution of this research is the development of a TQM model grounded more in Islamic moral and spiritual values.

Abstract

The Independent Curriculum aims to provide greater learning flexibility by accommodating students’ individual needs and potential. However, its implementation often poses challenges for teachers, particularly in adapting pedagogical practices to the demands of the curriculum. This study analyzes the difficulties economics teachers face in implementing the Independent Curriculum within the Jember Regency Economics MGMP forum. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Four informants were selected, consisting of the MGMP Chair, the Deputy Chair of the Development Division, and two economics teachers. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed through data collection, validation, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Triangulation was used to ensure data validity. Findings show that teachers experience several obstacles, including limited understanding of differentiated instruction, difficulties adapting learning materials, challenges developing appropriate assessment methods and curriculum-aligned learning tools, constraints on integrating the Pancasila Student Profile into project-based themes, and suboptimal use of the Merdeka Teaching Platform. These challenges reflect gaps in curriculum readiness, teacher competency development, and institutional support. Strengthening continuous professional development, intensive mentoring, and school-level facilitation is essential to improve curriculum implementation.
