Abstract

The rapid advancement of information technology demands that modern educational organizations, including Islamic Religious Education (IRE) institutions, adopt highly structured, effective, efficient, and accountable management paradigms. One crucial intervention to achieve this digital modernization is the strategic application of an integrated Management Information System (MIS). This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the core concepts and operational implementation of MIS within the context of Islamic Religious Education, specifically exploring how foundational Islamic ethical values can be integrated into technological frameworks and analyzing the subsequent practical and theoretical implications. Utilizing a qualitative approach based on descriptive-analytical library research, data were systematically gathered from academic books, peer-reviewed scientific journals, and relevant policy documents. The findings indicate that MIS plays a vital, strategic role in enhancing administrative efficiency, supporting data-based decision-making, and streamlining educational evaluation processes. Crucially, the deliberate integration of core Islamic values—such as tawhid, amanah, justice, and ihsan—establishes a robust ethical infrastructure that distinguishes Islamic educational management from secular models. Ultimately, a value-driven MIS serves as an operational catalyst that successfully transforms conventional Islamic institutions into modernized, professional, and benefit-oriented educational organizations.

Abstract

Salafiyah Islamic boarding schools (pesantren salafiyah), as the oldest Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia, face an existential paradox in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0): preserving classical religious traditions while responding to the demands of increasingly digitalized educational quality. The charismatic-paternalistic and centralized leadership of the kiai has not yet been able to produce a structured and sustainable quality assurance system. This article aims to analyze the reconstruction of the kiai's transformational leadership based on a digital mindset as an instrument for quality assurance in Salafiyah Islamic boarding schools. Using a qualitative approach with a systematic literature review method, this research answers three questions: the reality of leadership and quality in Salafiyah Islamic boarding schools, the need for reconstruction based on a digital mindset, and its impact on quality improvement. The findings indicate that the kiai's leadership requires reconstruction due to global digital transformation, the digital divide among students (santri), regulatory demands, and the need for leadership regeneration. The prophetic transformational leadership model of the Five I's—idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, individual consideration, and individual spiritual greatness—integrated with a digital mindset, produces a quality assurance system that is adaptive, measurable, and sustainable without losing the Salafiyah identity. This reconstruction impacts the improvement of human resource capacity, digital literacy culture, curriculum relevance, and the competitiveness of Salafiyah Islamic boarding school graduates.

Abstract

Indonesia's educational landscape is undergoing a profound transformation with the nationwide rollout of the Merdeka Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka), mandated through KMA Number 347 of 2022 for madrasah institutions. At the intersection of this curricular reform and the state's agenda for religious moderation lies a critical yet underexplored terrain: how Islamic junior secondary schools (MTs) in peripheral regions strategically manage, adapt, and sustain this dual mandate. This article examines the strategic management of Merdeka Curriculum implementation grounded in religious moderation values at MTs An-Nur 1 Malangbong, Garut, West Java. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis involving the school principal, curriculum coordinators, subject teachers, and students. The findings reveal that MTs An-Nur 1 Malangbong has navigated three interrelated dimensions: (1) the descriptive reality of curriculum implementation, including the integration of P5-PPRA (Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila dan Rahmatan Lil Alamin) with moderation values; (2) the critical factors driving and constraining implementation, including teacher readiness, infrastructure limitations, and institutional leadership; and (3) the transformative impacts on student character formation and institutional resilience. The study concludes that strategic leadership, community-based learning, and the embedding of wasathiyah (moderate) values within the curriculum framework constitute the primary drivers of resilience in this context. These findings contribute to the growing literature on madrasah curriculum reform and offer practical implications for policy and practice.

Abstract

The quality of education in Indonesian Islamic educational institutions, particularly Madrasah Aliyah, remains a persistent challenge in the era of global competition. This study investigates the optimization of Total Quality Management (TQM) integrated with Management Information Systems (MIS) to enhance stakeholder satisfaction at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 2 Bandung. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving principals, teachers, administrative staff, students, and parents as research participants. The findings reveal that: (1) MAN 2 Bandung has implemented TQM principles encompassing customer focus, total involvement, measurement, commitment, and continuous improvement, supported by digital MIS infrastructure; (2) the primary drivers of suboptimal TQM implementation include inconsistent leadership commitment, limited digital literacy among staff, and fragmented information systems; and (3) the integration of MIS into TQM processes has demonstrably improved stakeholder satisfaction through enhanced service responsiveness, transparent communication, and data-driven decision-making. The study concludes that MIS-based TQM optimization constitutes a transformative strategy for madrasah quality management, with implications for policy development in Islamic education governance. Recommendations are directed toward strengthening digital infrastructure, building staff capacity, and institutionalizing quality culture across all organizational levels.

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) is essential for responding to moral crises through the character building of the younger generation. However, the success of this process highly depends on the students' analytical skills, thus necessitating adequate learning innovations. This research utilizes a qualitative approach with a literature study method to examine the implementation of animated video media in improving students' analytical skills regarding PAI learning materials. The study shows that animated videos can present materials in a more engaging, interactive, and contextual manner. The use of this audio-visual media is proven to increase students' attention, motivation, and participation, thereby helping them analyze Islamic values more deeply. The implementation of animated videos serves as an effective pedagogical alternative in supporting the construction of students' knowledge. This improvement in analytical skills has become a crucial foundation for building strong character. Thus, animated videos function not only as a means of delivering material but also as an educative instrument for more meaningful PAI learning.

Abstract

The excellence of 21st-century madrasahs is no longer determined solely by capital, infrastructure, technology, or management, but by the ability to optimize human resources’ cognitive abilities, creativity, knowledge, and collaboration through neuroleadership. This study aims to formulate a conceptual model of madrasah leadership based on neuroleadership to support the holistic management of brain potential. The study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive-analytical literature review method. Data were sourced from reputable scientific articles, books on educational neuroscience, modern leadership theories, national education policies, and international research on neuroleadership. Data were analyzed using content analysis through concept identification, perspective synthesis, and conceptual model construction. The results indicate that madrasah excellence requires fifth-generation management that prioritizes knowledge-based activities, learning competencies, an understanding of how the brain works, and the optimization of cognitive potential as its primary foundations. The principle of whole-brain management helps leaders recognize diverse thinking patterns, integrate cognitive preferences, and align individual thinking tendencies with job requirements. The application of neuroleadership strengthens motivation, learning, social interaction, collaboration, innovation, and organizational performance. Thus, neuroleadership is a strategic competency for madrasah leaders to build governance that is adaptive, collaborative, innovative, people-oriented, and sustainable. This model underscores the importance of developing leaders who can effectively manage cognitive diversity as a collective strength of the madrasah in the face of complex and dynamic changes in education

Abstract

School bullying constitutes one of the most persistent and consequential threats to child wellbeing and educational quality globally. In Indonesia, the Komisi Perlindungan Anak Indonesia (KPAI) recorded 2,355 child protection violations in 2023, of which 87 cases directly involved bullying victimisation in school settings. This study examines the extent to which Islamic Religious Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam, PAI) instruction contributes to bullying prevention among primary school students. A quantitative correlational design was employed, with data collected from 24 Grade 5 students at SD IT Al-Amin, Ngamprah Sub-District, Bandung Regency, West Java, using structured questionnaires measuring two constructs: PAI learning quality (operationalised across aqidah, syariah, and akhlak dimensions) and bullying prevention (operationalised across implementation of Islamic values, mutual compassion, and social interdependence). Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis yielded r = 0.698 (strong positive correlation), a coefficient of determination of 49% (Kp = r² × 100), and a t-statistic of 6.374 exceeding the critical value of 1.717 at α = 0.05, confirming a statistically significant relationship. The regression equation Y = 9.34 + 0.84X indicates that each unit improvement in PAI learning quality is associated with a 0.84-unit increase in bullying prevention effectiveness. The remaining 51% variance suggests that family environment, peer group dynamics, and school climate are important co-determinants. These findings carry implications for curriculum design, teacher professional development, and multi-stakeholder bullying prevention frameworks in Indonesian Islamic primary education. Keywords: Islamic Religious Education (PAI), school bullying prevention, aqidah, akhlak, syariah, quantitative correlational study, primary education, Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesian Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah (MDT) are legally defined as supplementary religious schools for formally educated children. This rigid regulatory mandate has increasingly become a significant liability. As rural demographics shift and children’s schedules become saturated, many MDTs lose their clientele and become dormant despite intact physical infrastructure. This article examines one such dormant MDT in Nagreg Kendan, West Java, arguing its successful reactivation required abandoning its statutory mandate. Through a participatory action research cycle over with 25 working youth aged, we document the institution's revival via evening classes and a curriculum centered on Nawawī al-Bantanī’s Tanqīḥ al-Qawl al-Ḥathīth. We advance two central claims. First, the MDT survived through 'andragogic drift': shifting from child to adult learners, preserving the institution while voiding its regulatory category. Second, utilizing fadā’il al-a’māl literature was constitutive of this drift, as the genre validates participants' existing actions rather than prescribing new obligations. By engaging in a reassessed religious coping framework and recent empirical studies on the lives of informal workers, we argue that this reception directly inverts the Weberian vector. Finally, we confront the objection that consolatory religiosity inherently reproduces the precarity it makes bearable, specifying the exact evidence needed to adjudicate this critical tension
