Abstract

Merdi Desa in Rogodadi, Buayan, Kebumen is an annual village tradition that connects religious gratitude, mutual assistance, cultural performance, local economic activity, and care for a shared water source. This study examines how Islamic philanthropic values are embedded in the tradition and how they are reproduced through community participation. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, the study involved 20 participants drawn purposively from key stakeholder groups. Fieldwork at Sendang Pelus combined participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, documentation, and a focus group discussion during a three-month engagement that included direct observation of the 3-6 September 2025 ritual cycle. Data were interpreted thematically with source and method triangulation, member checking, and researcher reflexivity. The findings identify three interconnected dimensions: spiritual gratitude, socio-economic solidarity, and ecological-cultural stewardship. Bersih Luweng mobilizes collective care for the water source; voluntary contributions, buffalo-meat distribution, and Tenongan circulate resources; while Lenggeran and Dondangan sustain cultural participation and intergenerational learning. The article proposes 'embedded village philanthropy' to explain how Islamic ethics of giving, reciprocity, redistribution, and care can operate through a recurring local institution rather than only through formal charitable organizations.

Abstract

The development of social media use among adolescents provides opportunities for individuals to present themselves, gain attention, and receive social responses from their peer environment. These conditions may be associated with the emergence of narcissistic behavior tendencies among students. This study aims to determine the influence of social media use intensity and peer responses on students' narcissistic behavior. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population consisted of eighth-grade junior high school students in Central Java Province, with a sample of 400 students selected through purposive sampling from several schools. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire based on the indicators of each variable. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to examine the partial and simultaneous effects of the variables. The results indicate that social media use intensity and peer responses influence students' narcissistic behavior. This study contributes to the field of guidance and counseling by providing a basis for developing services that encourage healthier social media use and social interactions among students.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the effect of implementing Tasmi' and Muraja'ah methods on students' learning motivation and Quran memorization ability in the Tahfidz subject at MI Miftahul Huda Agom, South Lampung. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with the principal and Tahfidz teachers, and documentation. The research subjects were 11 fourth-grade students. The results showed that the implementation of Tasmi' and Muraja'ah methods brought significant changes in lesson planning, from unstructured to systematic with daily, weekly, and semester memorization targets. Learning implementation transformed from conventional methods to more interactive through the stages of muraja'ah, ziyadah, and tasmi'. Learning evaluation developed from simple assessment to comprehensive evaluation with indicators of fluency, tajwid accuracy, and memorization strength. This method proved effective in increasing students' learning motivation, as indicated by improved discipline, activeness, and self-confidence. Students' memorization ability significantly improved in aspects of fluency, tajwid accuracy, and long-term memory retention. This research recommends the implementation of Tasmi' and Muraja'ah methods as an alternative approach in Tahfidz learning at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah level.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pelaksanaan pembinaan akhlak mulia peserta didik melalui kegiatan ekstrakurikuler Pendidikan Agama Islam di Madrasah Ibtidaiyyah Terpadu Al-Asror Desa Sumbersari Kecamatan Sekampung Kabupaten Lampung Timur serta mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor penghambatnya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam dengan Kepala Sekolah, Waka Kurikulum, guru, dan siswa, serta dokumentasi. Keabsahan data diuji melalui triangulasi sumber dan teknik. Analisis data menggunakan model Miles and Huberman melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan pembinaan akhlak mulia melalui ekstrakurikuler PAI terbagi menjadi dua kategori: kegiatan sesaat (program tahunan) seperti PHBI, pesantren kilat, buka puasa bersama, dan santunan di bulan Ramadhan; serta kegiatan berkelanjutan (program mingguan dan bulanan) seperti sholat berjama'ah, program pembelajaran baca Al-Quran, dan pembiasaan berakhlak mulia. Faktor penghambat meliputi faktor internal (tenaga dan waktu yang kurang optimal, jadwal ekstrakurikuler yang bersamaan, minimnya dana) dan faktor eksternal (lingkungan keluarga dengan orang tua yang memiliki sikap acuh terhadap pembinaan akhlak anak). Penelitian ini merekomendasikan penguatan kolaborasi antara sekolah dan orang tua serta optimalisasi manajemen sumber daya untuk mendukung keberlanjutan program pembinaan akhlak.

Abstract

This study aims to overcome the problem of low honesty behavior among students at SMA PGRI 1 Pati through individual counseling using a behavioristic approach with role-playing techniques. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design. The subjects of this study were two students, AB and XY, who were indicated to have dishonest behavior. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used consisted of data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that before the intervention, both subjects showed defensive behavior and often lied regarding their academic tasks due to academic anxiety and peer pressure. After four counseling sessions using role-playing techniques, both subjects showed positive changes. They became more open, admitted their mistakes, and showed a commitment to completing tasks independently. It can be concluded that the behavioristic approach using role-playing techniques is effective in fostering honesty behavior among students.

Abstract

Digital transformation has become a strategic agenda for educational institutions, including madrasahs, in responding to technological advancements and the growing demand for effective, efficient, and sustainable educational management. However, the implementation of digital transformation in madrasahs remains constrained by various organizational, technological, and human resource challenges. This study aims to analyze the challenges of digital transformation in madrasah management and to identify the adaptive strategies employed to support sustainable institutional development. A qualitative approach with a multiple-case study design was employed involving three Madrasah Aliyah in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's framework. The findings reveal four major themes influencing digital transformation: digital transformation challenges, adaptive leadership and digital governance, organizational capacity building, and institutional innovation. The study indicates that successful digital transformation depends not only on technological infrastructure but also on adaptive leadership, collaborative organizational culture, continuous professional development, and integrated digital governance. Based on the cross-case analysis, this study proposes the Adaptive Digital Transformation Framework for Madrasah Management, which positions leadership, governance, organizational capacity, and organizational culture as interconnected capabilities supporting sustainable institutional transformation. The findings reinforce existing theories of digital transformation while extending them by incorporating the distinctive characteristics of Islamic educational institutions. The proposed framework offers both theoretical contributions to Islamic educational management and practical recommendations for policymakers and madrasah leaders in implementing sustainable digital transformation.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has accelerated digital transformation in education, requiring madrasah principals to move beyond technology adoption toward leading innovative, adaptive, and value-based organizational change. Within Islamic educational institutions, digital leadership must not only improve organizational effectiveness but also preserve Islamic educational values. This study aimed to analyze the digital leadership practices of madrasah principals in the era of Artificial Intelligence and to develop a digital leadership model that reflects the characteristics of Islamic education. A qualitative multi-site case study design was employed in four State Islamic Senior High Schools (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri) in Lampung Province, Indonesia, namely MAN 1 Bandar Lampung, MAN 1 Metro, MAN 1 Lampung Selatan, and MAN 1 Pringsewu. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving madrasah principals, vice principals, teachers, administrative staff, and information technology personnel. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal that the digital leadership of madrasah principals plays a strategic role in facilitating digital transformation through the development of a digital vision, AI governance, teachers' digital capacity development, data-driven decision-making, collaborative digital organizational culture, and the integration of Islamic values into technology implementation. Based on these findings, the study proposes a Digital Leadership Model for Madrasah Principals in the Era of Artificial Intelligence, consisting of six interconnected dimensions: Digital Vision, AI Governance, Teachers' Digital Capacity Development, Data-Driven Decision-Making, Collaborative Digital Organizational Culture, and Islamic Ethical Leadership. The proposed model contributes to the advancement of Digital Leadership theory by integrating AI governance and Islamic ethical leadership into a comprehensive framework. It also provides practical guidance for madrasah principals and policymakers in promoting sustainable, responsible, and value-based digital transformation within Islamic educational institutions.

Abstract

The quality of education in madrasahs is determined not only by effective teaching and learning processes but also by the quality of institutional governance. However, the implementation of madrasah governance in Indonesia continues to face significant challenges, including limited transparency, inadequate accountability, insufficient stakeholder participation, and the lack of integration of Islamic governance values into managerial practices. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Good Governance-Based Madrasah Governance and to develop a governance model capable of promoting high-quality education. A qualitative multi-site case study design was employed in three public Islamic senior high schools (MAN 1 Palembang, MAN 2 Palembang, and MAN 3 Palembang). Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving principals, vice principals, teachers, administrative staff, school committee members, and madrasah supervisors. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal that Good Governance-based madrasah governance is constructed through six interrelated dimensions: transparency, accountability, stakeholder participation, effectiveness and efficiency in resource management, responsive leadership, and Islamic governance values comprising amanah (trustworthiness), al-'adl (justice), shura (consultation), integrity, and mas'uliyyah (responsibility). The integration of these six dimensions strengthens institutional governance, improves the quality of educational services, enhances stakeholder trust, and supports sustainable educational quality improvement. This study proposes a Good Governance-Based Madrasah Governance Model that integrates modern governance principles with Islamic governance values, providing a conceptual contribution to the development of governance frameworks for Islamic educational institutions.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengelolaan penjaminan mutu internal di lembaga pendidikan tinggi Islam, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan perencanaan mutu, implementasi, evaluasi, pengendalian, perbaikan berkelanjutan, dan integrasi nilai-nilai Islam. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur, observasi, dan dokumentasi yang melibatkan pimpinan lembaga, personel penjaminan mutu, pengelola fakultas atau program studi, dan dosen. Data dianalisis secara tematik melalui kondensasi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan, sementara kredibilitas data diperkuat melalui triangulasi sumber dan teknik. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa penjaminan mutu internal diimplementasikan melalui siklus perumusan standar mutu, implementasi, pemantauan dan evaluasi, tindakan korektif, dan perbaikan berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa komitmen kepemimpinan, keterlibatan unit akademik, dan koordinasi antar struktur penjaminan mutu merupakan faktor penting dalam memastikan efektivitas sistem penjaminan mutu. Lebih lanjut, nilai-nilai Islam seperti integritas, tanggung jawab, disiplin, etika, dan pengembangan karakter diintegrasikan ke dalam praktik mutu lembaga dan berkontribusi pada identitas khas pendidikan tinggi Islam. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa penjaminan mutu internal tidak seharusnya hanya diposisikan sebagai mekanisme akreditasi dan administrasi, tetapi sebagai sistem manajemen institusional terintegrasi untuk mengembangkan budaya mutu yang berkelanjutan. Studi ini berkontribusi dengan mengusulkan perspektif terintegrasi yang menghubungkan manajemen mutu, kepemimpinan institusional, peningkatan berkelanjutan, dan nilai-nilai Islam dalam sistem penjaminan mutu internal.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology, artificial intelligence, changing learner characteristics, and the growing demands for twenty-first-century competencies require Islamic educational institutions to pursue systematic curriculum innovation while maintaining their Islamic identity and values. This study aims to analyze innovation management in Islamic education curriculum development and identify the processes, strategies, and factors that support sustainable curriculum innovation. The study employed a qualitative approach using a literature study method. Data were obtained through the identification and analysis of relevant academic literature addressing innovation management, curriculum development, Islamic education, digital transformation, and technology integration in education. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis through the stages of identification, coding, categorization, interpretation, and synthesis of findings across the selected literature. The findings indicate that innovation management in Islamic education curriculum development consists of four major dimensions: innovation identification and strategic planning, collaborative implementation and teacher capacity development, integration of digital technology and Islamic values, and evaluation, continuous improvement, and institutionalization of innovation. These dimensions form a continuous innovation cycle in which Islamic values function as the philosophical and ethical foundation. The novelty of this study lies in conceptualizing curriculum innovation management as an organizational process that integrates technological adaptation, collaboration, competency development, evaluation, and Islamic values within a single continuous innovation cycle. The study emphasizes that curriculum innovation in Islamic education should not be limited to educational modernization but should produce curricula that are adaptive to change, relevant to learners' needs, ethically oriented in the use of technology, and firmly grounded in Islamic educational identity.
