Abstract

This study analyzes the transformation of Islamic education in madrasahs through the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology as a means to strengthen Islamic values. The research aims to understand how AI can be utilized not only to enhance learning effectiveness but also to support the internalization of moral and spiritual principles in education. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, the research was conducted in two madrasahs that have adopted AI-based learning systems. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that AI technology significantly enhances learning personalization, efficiency, and student engagement. Nonetheless, the success of this digital transformation relies on the teacher’s role as a moral and spiritual facilitator rather than a passive technology user. Teachers consciously embed Islamic values such as honesty (ṣidq), discipline (istiḳāmah), and responsibility (amānah) within AI-assisted learning interactions. However, several challenges remain, including limited digital infrastructure, insufficient teacher training in AI literacy, and the absence of formal policies supporting the systematic integration of Islamic values. This study concludes that the transformation of Islamic education in the AI era must harmonize technological innovation with spiritual and ethical guidance. The synergy between technology, educators, and institutional policy is crucial to developing adaptive, value-based Islamic education.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed educational practices, including those within Islamic schooling systems. This study investigates the challenges, opportunities, and ethical implications of integrating AI technologies into Islamic education. The research aims to analyze how AI tools—such as adaptive learning systems, gamified instruction, digital learning content, and automated administration—enhance learning personalization, access, and engagement while maintaining Islamic educational values. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study synthesizes findings from academic literature, case studies, and expert perspectives on AI-based pedagogy in Islamic contexts. The results reveal that AI contributes positively to improving instructional efficiency, contextualized learning, and global collaboration among Islamic institutions. However, the findings also highlight critical ethical concerns, including content conformity with Islamic teachings, data privacy, the risk of dehumanization in learning, and algorithmic bias. These issues underscore the need for value-sensitive AI design that complements, rather than replaces, human educators. The study contributes to the discourse on responsible technology integration in religious education, proposing a framework for ethical and culturally grounded AI implementation that preserves the spiritual, moral, and humanistic essence of Islamic learning.

Abstract

This study is grounded in the problem of low effectiveness in educational administration due to limited innovation, inadequate use of technology, and various barriers in managing educational services. The purpose of this study is to identify innovative strategic steps that can be implemented to improve the effectiveness of educational administration and to overcome existing challenges. This research employed a literature review method by examining various written sources such as books, journals, and scientific articles to build a theoretical foundation, strengthen arguments, and identify gaps in previous studies. The findings reveal that digital transformation is a key strategy, beginning with a situational and needs analysis to assess the digital readiness of educational institutions, including infrastructure, educators’ competencies, and learning patterns. Furthermore, measurable strategic objectives are established, such as improving access to digital education, enhancing the digital competencies of educators and staff, developing data-driven and student-centered learning systems, and implementing technology-based educational governance. These strategies are formulated into an action plan that includes program priorities, success indicators, resource allocation, and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. The study contributes to the development of innovative, adaptive, and sustainable educational administration systems that support a more inclusive and globally competitive learning environment.

Abstract

the foundation of all educational processes, including guidance and counseling services. However, counseling practices in many Islamic elementary schools are often implemented unsystematically and are not consistently based on sustainable Islamic counseling principles. As a result, students frequently experience difficulties in understanding learning materials, maintaining learning motivation, and managing their study time effectively. This study aims to examine the implementation of Islamic academic supervision conducted by the madrasah head as a strategy to foster guidance and counseling teachers in improving the quality of Islamic counseling services at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Nurul Mun’im. The research employed a qualitative School Action Research design conducted in two cycles, consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed qualitatively. The findings reveal that systematic and reflective Islamic academic supervision significantly improved the professional competence of guidance and counseling teachers in planning, implementing, and evaluating counseling services based on Islamic values. Counseling practices evolved from normative and advice-oriented approaches into more integrative and contextual guidance that promotes students’ spiritual awareness and character development. This study contributes to the development of Islamic teacher supervision models and provides practical guidance for enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of counseling services in Islamic elementary schools.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the suboptimal economic independence of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) due to their dependence on external funding sources, highlighting the need for management strategies capable of strengthening institutional sustainability. This research aims to analyze the implementation of entrepreneurship management in enhancing economic independence at Sumber Baru Al-Falah Islamic Boarding School. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the pesantren leader, business unit managers, and students (santri). Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that entrepreneurship management is implemented through the functions of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling in managing the pesantren's productive business units. This implementation contributes to strengthening the economic independence of the pesantren through the optimization of internal resources, business innovation development, and the involvement of students in economically productive activities. The success of the implementation is supported by visionary leadership, active participation of the pesantren community, and the utilization of local economic potential. However, several challenges remain, including limited capital, managerial competence, and market dynamics. The study concludes that entrepreneurship management serves as an important strategy for developing a sustainable and adaptive model of pesantren independence. Theoretically, this research enriches the discourse on Islamic educational management, particularly regarding the integration of entrepreneurial principles into the management of Islamic boarding schools. Practically, it offers an entrepreneurship management implementation model that can serve as a reference for pesantren in developing productive business units to strengthen economic independence and institutional sustainability.

Abstract

The development of Islamic Religious Education Curriculum in Indonesia faces challenges in maintaining the tradition of Islamic scholarship while responding to social and technological developments and the needs of 21st-century competencies. The different characteristics of Islamic educational institutions, such as Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), schools, and madrasahs, require an adaptive curriculum development model without neglecting the Islamic values that form their foundation. This study aims to analyze the characteristics, orientation, and development model of Islamic Religious Education curriculum in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), schools, and madrasahs, and to identify the forms of integration of tradition and innovation applied in each institution. The study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical library research. Data were obtained through a review of books, scientific journals, and various relevant literature, then analyzed to describe and compare the development models of Islamic Religious Education curriculum in the three educational institutions. The results show that the development of Islamic Religious Education curriculum in Islamic boarding schools is carried out through the integration of classical Islamic scholarship tradition with digital literacy, project-based learning, and strengthening social competencies. In schools, curriculum development is directed at balancing normative religious goals with student needs through strengthening digital literacy, religious moderation, and active learning. Meanwhile, madrasahs develop curricula by integrating the unique characteristics of Islamic education with the national curriculum through strengthening local religious content, utilizing learning technology, and authentic evaluation. This research contributes to offering a conceptual understanding of a responsive, integrative, and contextual Islamic Religious Education curriculum development model as a basis for developing Islamic education capable of producing a generation of Muslims who are faithful, virtuous, competent, and adaptable to changing times.

Abstract

Digital transformation in Islamic educational institutions has become a necessary strategy to address technological developments and demands for improved educational service quality. This study aims to analyze the digital transformation of Islamic educational institutions through a strategic information system based on Enterprise Architecture (EA). The approach used was qualitative, library research, reviewing relevant literature from books, scientific journals, and previous research related to management information systems, digital transformation, and Enterprise Architecture in Islamic education. The study's findings indicate that digital transformation focuses not only on the use of technology but also on comprehensive changes in governance, administrative processes, and learning systems. Management Information Systems (MIS) play a crucial role in improving the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of educational institutions. However, their implementation still faces various challenges such as limited infrastructure, human resources, costs, and resistance to change. In this context, Enterprise Architecture (EA) serves as a strategic framework capable of comprehensively integrating business processes, data, applications, and technology, resulting in a more focused, structured, and sustainable information system. Therefore, implementing an Enterprise Architecture-based information system is a crucial strategy in supporting the digital transformation of Islamic educational institutions. EA not only improves operational efficiency but also strengthens the quality of governance and institutional competitiveness in the digital era.

Abstract

Problem: Despite growing research on educational administrative service quality, there is limited study examining the leadership strategies of heads of administration (kepala tata usaha) in state Islamic secondary schools (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri) in the context of digital transformation in Indonesia. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by the head of administration at MAN 2 Karawang in improving educational administrative service satisfaction, through the lens of SERVQUAL dimensions. Method: A descriptive qualitative approach was used, involving seven purposively selected informants: the school principal, head of administration, one administrative staff, two teachers, and two students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model (data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification), with triangulation for validity. Results: Four interlocking strategies were identified: (1) enforcing work discipline tied to staff competency mapping; (2) strengthening interpersonal communication and team coordination; (3) integrating digital administrative technology into service workflows; and (4) implementing structured weekly supervision and evaluation cycles. These strategies produced measurable improvements in service responsiveness, reliability, and user satisfaction as perceived by students and teachers. Contribution: This study offers an integrated strategy model for madrasah administrative leadership in the digital era, contributing novel theoretical and practical insights to Islamic educational management literature beyond previously reported isolated findings.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the strategic management of the Purbalingga Regency Archives and Library Office in improving community literacy through the Ayo Belajar di Perpustakaan (Ajar Pustaka) program. The method used is a qualitative method with a case study approach, while data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation using purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research focus used Wheelen and Hunger's strategic management theory, namely environmental analysis, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and evaluation and control. The results of the study show that the literacy improvement strategy through the Ajar Pustaka program has been implemented fairly well. At the environmental analysis stage, the agency has a clear organizational structure, adequate facilities and infrastructure, and extensive collaboration with schools and communities. Strategy formulation is conducted participatively through internal work meetings and is established through a Decree of the Head of the Agency as the basis for forming the program innovation team. Strategy implementation is realized through educational and participatory literacy activities such as storytelling, read-aloud sessions, writing training, discussions, and library services, which have contributed to an increase in visitor numbers and improvements in the Community Literacy Development Index (IPLM). Evaluation and control are carried out through periodic monitoring of performance achievements, although they are not yet supported by a specific Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the program.
