Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of strengthening soft skills in education, which has not been fully accommodated in the formal education system. Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) as value-based institutions have the potential to develop soft skills through the practice of student service. This study aims to reconstruct kiai management based on charismatic leadership as a model for strengthening the soft skills of student servants. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design at the Al-Yasini Integrated Islamic Boarding School, through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that kiai management occurs culturally through values, role models, and interpersonal relationships, and that soft skills strengthening occurs through experiential learning in the practice of service. This study produces a conceptual model that integrates charismatic leadership, the service process, and soft skills strengthening. The contribution of this research lies in the development of a value-based Islamic education management model. It is concluded that kiai management is effective in shaping the character and social readiness of students in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the digital pedagogical practices of Generation Z teachers in primary education, focusing on how they design, implement, and adapt digital-based learning, as well as the challenges they encounter. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving five Generation Z teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, field notes, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key patterns in instructional design, technology integration, and professional attitudes. The findings reveal that Generation Z teachers actively utilize digital platforms for learning management, assessment, and instructional media, demonstrating creative, flexible, and student-centered approaches. However, challenges remain, including limited infrastructure, unequal access to professional training, and time management constraints. The study implies that effective digital pedagogy among Generation Z teachers is shaped by the integration of pedagogical competence, digital literacy, and adaptive professional attitudes, highlighting the need for continuous support in infrastructure and professional development.

Abstract

This study aims to reposition the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in education as an epistemic transformation process by examining how digital literacy shapes multidimensional trust and how such trust mediates creativity as an expression of epistemic agency within educational management contexts. A constructivist grounded theory approach was employed, involving 24 participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and analysis of AI-assisted academic tasks, and analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding with a constant comparative method. The findings reveal differentiated dimensions of digital literacy (operational, evaluative, reflective, and strategic) that produce layered forms of trust (functional, relational, and epistemic). Only reflective epistemic trust was found to stimulate generative creativity, while functional trust tended to result in reproductive use of AI. The study proposes a conceptual model of “Reflexive TrustMediated Epistemic Agency,” positioning trust as a generative mechanism linking digital literacy and creative transformation. The implications highlight the need for educational management to move beyond utility-based adoption frameworks by fostering evaluative and reflective digital literacy, ensuring that AI serves as a catalyst for meaningful learning transformation rather than merely a productivity tool.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze educational financing systems to improve the quality of education, focusing on three main aspects: planning, implementation, and financial accountability. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. The participants included school leaders and administrative staff responsible for financial management. The findings reveal that educational financing is systematically planned by identifying priority programs and determining student-related costs, followed by the preparation of an annual school budget plan based on students’ needs. In the implementation stage, government funding is primarily allocated to support national education standards, while additional funding sources, such as community contributions and donations, are used to address unmet needs. Financial accountability is maintained through annual financial reports detailing income and expenditures. The study implies that effective educational financing management requires structured planning, diversified funding sources, and transparent accountability practices. These elements are essential for ensuring financial sustainability and improving educational quality, particularly within the framework of educational management.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the modernization policy of Islamic boarding school education and how it balances the preservation of traditional values with contemporary educational demands. A qualitative approach was employed using a library research method, drawing on scholarly articles, academic books, and relevant policy documents. The findings reveal that modernization in Islamic boarding schools involves curriculum integration between religious and general subjects, innovation in teaching methods, enhancement of institutional management, and the adoption of digital technologies in learning processes. Despite these developments, traditional elements such as the study of classical Islamic texts and the central role of religious scholars remain integral to the educational system. The study implies that modernization policies are essential for strengthening the adaptability and sustainability of Islamic educational institutions. From an educational management perspective, effective integration of innovation and tradition can enhance institutional performance while preserving core values, ensuring that Islamic boarding schools remain relevant in a rapidly changing educational landscape.

Abstract

The growth of nature-based tourism raises environmental concerns if not accompanied by responsible tourist behavior. This study aims to analyze the effect of memorable nature-based tourism experiences on connectedness to nature and tourist satisfaction, and their implications for environmental awareness and environmentally responsible behavioral intentions, from an environmental education perspective. A quantitative explanatory design was employed, with data collected through a survey using questionnaires distributed to tourists selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that memorable naturebased tourism experiences have a positive and significant effect on both connectedness to nature and tourist satisfaction. Furthermore, these variables positively influence environmental awareness, which emerges as the strongest predictor of environmentally responsible behavioral intentions. These findings highlight the role of tourism experiences as a form of experiential environmental education that shapes tourists’ awareness and behavior. The study implies that destination managers should integrate environmental education strategies into tourism management by designing meaningful experiences that foster learning, awareness, and pro-environmental behavior. Such an approach strengthens the role of tourism as an educational medium for sustainability.

Abstract

This study aims to explore in depth how students perceive family social support in shaping and sustaining their academic achievement. Employing a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, the study involved five high-achieving senior high school students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews conducted twice with each participant, supported by observation and documentation, and analyzed using phenomenological analysis, including data reduction, identification of significant statements, thematic clustering, and synthesis of essential meanings. The findings reveal that family social support is perceived as a critical psychological experience that contributes to the maintenance of academic achievement. Four major themes emerged: emotional support as a source of psychological safety, appraisal support as reinforcement of academic self-confidence, informational support as adaptive guidance fostering self-regulation, and instrumental support as a symbol of family commitment to education. These findings imply that family support functions as a protective and facilitative system that not only enhances students’ academic performance but also sustains their motivation and psychological well-being.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of work expectations on intention to apply among Generation Z in Indonesia, with a particular focus on the mediating roles of social media use and organizational attractiveness in the context of digital recruitment. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using a cross-sectional survey of 231 Generation Z individuals preparing to enter the labor market, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that work expectations do not have a direct effect on intention to apply; however, they significantly influence both social media use and organizational attractiveness. Furthermore, social media use has a significant positive effect on intention to apply, whereas organizational attractiveness does not show a significant influence. Mediation analysis indicates that social media use fully mediates the relationship between work expectations and intention to apply, while organizational attractiveness does not act as a mediator. These results imply that social media serves as a critical mechanism in translating job seekers’ expectations into application intentions, highlighting the importance for organizations to optimize digital recruitment strategies through interactive, informative, and engaging social media content to effectively attract Generation Z talent.
