Abstract

Academic supervision at MA Darul Istiqomah Al Haya identified adequate subject-matter mastery but persistent reliance on lecturing. This study examines two connected questions: how the madrasah head translated an instructional-quality vision into supervision follow-up and teacher development, and how improvement strategies were adapted to teacher readiness, institutional resources, technology access, and pesantren characteristics. An embedded mixed-methods single-case design with qualitative priority was conducted from April 6 to 26, 2026. The quantitative strand involved all five teachers and 28 students; qualitative participants comprised the madrasah head, five teachers, one education staff member, and three students. Data were generated through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, then integrated through side-by-side comparison. The first finding shows that supervision evidence was converted into a shared improvement direction, evaluation meetings, scheduled coaching, and differentiated assistance. Four of five teachers reported that this support helped them vary methods and media. The second finding shows context-sensitive adaptation: teachers combined projector-mediated videos and quizzes with discussion, concrete media, group work, worksheets, and environmental observation while respecting restrictions on personal devices. Twenty-two of 28 students reported more varied and participatory lessons. The study concludes that visionary direction, adaptive mobilization, and Islamic ethical values function as one supervision-to-learning mechanism. Institutionalized supervision cycles, collective reflection, and accessible documentation are recommended to sustain teacher professional learning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of the Game-Based Learning (GBL) model combined with flashcard media in increasing student learning motivation in Islamic Religious Education subjects. This study is based on constructivist theory and learning motivation theory, which emphasises the importance of active involvement, enjoyable learning experiences, and providing challenges as drivers of students' intrinsic motivation. The study used a mixed methods approach with a convergent design, involving 33 grade 10 students as research subjects. Quantitative data were obtained through learning motivation observation sheets using a Likert scale, while qualitative data were collected through direct observation of student activities during the learning process. The results showed that the application of Game-Based Learning assisted by flashcard media was able to significantly increase student learning motivation, indicated by 82% of students who were in the high and very high motivation categories after the intervention. In addition, game-based learning was able to increase active participation, enthusiasm, group collaboration, and student courage in expressing opinions during the learning process. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of the Game-Based Learning model with flashcard media implemented in the context of Islamic Religious Education learning in Pesantren-based vocational schools. This combination produces a learning strategy that not only increases learning motivation but also creates a more interactive, collaborative, and enjoyable learning experience, so that it has the potential to become an innovative learning model that is relevant for application in Islamic educational institutions

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of strategic management by the administrative head in improving the performance of administrative staff at MAN 2 Muaro Jambi. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design to explore managerial practices, organizational coordination, and administrative performance improvement within the madrasah environment. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving the administrative head, administrative staff, and institutional documents. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the implementation of strategic management contributed positively to improving administrative staff performance through clear job descriptions, routine supervision and evaluation, digital administrative systems, and continuous professional development programs. The integration of digital administration improved work efficiency, strengthened administrative accountability, and accelerated document management processes. The study also identified several challenges, including limited technological competence among some staff members and inadequate administrative facilities. However, opportunities such as government support, digital transformation programs, and training activities supported organizational improvement within the institution. Overall, this study highlights that strategic management implementation plays an important role in improving organizational effectiveness, employee discipline, and administrative service quality within Islamic educational institutions.

Abstract

Digital transformation in quality assurance has reshaped internal quality management practices, moving organizations from manual reporting structures toward integrated, data-driven ecosystems. However, many institutions still face challenges such as fragmented system integration, low interoperability between platforms, and an overemphasis on administrative audits, which collectively reduce the effectiveness of evidence-based decision-making. This study examines the integration of Smart Quality Assurance within internal quality management using a Decision Support System (DSS) approach and explores its linkage with organizational resilience. A systematic literature review was conducted on 20 scientific articles published between 2022 and 2026, following a structured process of identification, screening, evaluation, and thematic synthesis. Findings indicate that the digitalization of quality systems through Internal Quality Assurance Systems, Total Quality Management, ISO 9001:2015 frameworks, and artificial intelligence-based applications enhances audit efficiency, accelerates evaluation cycles, and improves the accuracy of managerial decision-making. DSS integration further demonstrates strong potential in enabling predictive analytics and supporting adaptive, proactive quality governance. In addition, successful implementation is strongly influenced by digital literacy levels, infrastructure readiness, and the degree of integration across institutional information systems. This study contributes by synthesizing an integrated conceptual framework that connects Smart Quality Assurance, DSS-based decision-making, and organizational resilience, offering a consolidated perspective that can guide future research and practical implementation in higher education and organizational quality systems.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of multicultural leadership in accommodating the learning needs of Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) students at Pondok Pesantren Riyadhusshalihin, Sarolangun Regency, Jambi Province. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the pesantren leader, teachers, boarding administrators, and indigenous students. The findings indicate that the pesantren implemented inclusive and humanistic leadership practices by promoting equal educational access, cultural sensitivity, emotional support, and non-discriminatory learning environments. Adaptive learning strategies, including flexible instructional methods, simplified communication, continuous mentoring, and gradual social integration, enabled indigenous students to participate more effectively in educational activities while fostering their emotional adjustment. These practices also strengthened tolerance, intercultural understanding, and social inclusion within the pesantren community. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on how multicultural leadership can support inclusive education for indigenous students within the context of Indonesian Islamic boarding schools, an area that remains underexplored. However, the findings are limited to a single-case study conducted in one pesantren and therefore cannot be generalised to all educational settings. Future research is recommended to examine multicultural leadership across different pesantren or other educational institutions using comparative or mixed-method approaches to obtain broader insights

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the implementation of Islamic Education (PAI) and its influence on students’ religious character, specifically in the aspects of worship and responsibility at SMK Turen in 2025. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, utilising data collection techniques such as distributing questionnaires to 52 respondents, observations, interviews, and documentation. Descriptive analysis results indicate that PAI implementation is in the good category (48.1%), aligning with the achievement of religious character in the worship aspect (42.3%) and the responsibility aspect (44.2%), which are also in the good category. Qualitatively, the implementation of this character is successfully realised through the habituation of religious activities, the integration of values into learning materials, teacher exemplars, and the formation of school culture. Hypothesis testing results prove that PAI has a positive and significant influence on students’ religious character, with a correlation value of 0.827 and a significance of 0.000 < 0.05. A coefficient of determination of 68.4% confirms the dominant role of PAI, while the remainder is influenced by external variables. This success is technically supported by school policies regarding routine religious activities, such as congregational Dhuha and Dzuhur prayers and the 5S school culture program, reinforced by educators’ exemplary behavior through integrating character values into learning materials and daily discipline oversight. Obstacles include negative social media exposure and a lack of intrinsic awareness among some students. The limitation of this study is that PAI effectiveness remains constrained by external variable disruptions beyond the school’s reach. Therefore, it is recommended for future research to design a tripartite collaboration model involving the school, parents, and the community, alongside developing adaptive and dialogic learning methods for vocational adolescents.

Abstract

Teacher pedagogical competence is a key factor in improving educational quality; however, efforts to enhance it require not only professional development but also supportive leadership and a favourable work environment. This study examines the effect of madrasah principals' transformational leadership on teachers' pedagogical competence, with Quality of Work Life (QWL) serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed involving 150 teachers from Madrasah Aliyah Negeri in Malang Regency, Indonesia. Data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that transformational leadership positively and significantly affects teachers' pedagogical competence and QWL. Furthermore, QWL positively influences pedagogical competence and mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and pedagogical competence. These findings indicate that transformational leadership contributes both directly and indirectly to improving teachers' pedagogical competence through enhanced work-life quality. The study contributes to the educational leadership literature by providing empirical evidence of the mediating role of QWL in the relationship between transformational leadership and teacher competence within the madrasah context. However, the study is limited by its cross-sectional design and focus on public madrasahs in a single regency, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings. Future research is recommended to employ longitudinal designs, include broader educational settings, and explore additional mediating or moderating variables to gain a more comprehensive understanding of factors influencing teacher competence.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools pesantren face challenges in enhancing educational quality amidst demands for modernization, technological advancements, and the need for professional institutional governance—all while upholding Islamic values ​​and traditional pesantren customs. This study aims to analyze the Islamic education management model used to improve educational quality at Pondok Pesantren Nurul Islam Pungging, Mojokerto. Employing a qualitative approach with a single-case study design, the research gathered data through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving the school's caretaker, institutional leaders, educators, administrative staff, and students. The findings reveal that the management model at the institution is an integrative approach grounded in prophetic values. This model emerges from the interconnectedness of planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising functions; rather than operating in isolation, these functions form a mutually supportive management cycle aimed at achieving the pesantren's educational goals. The findings reinforce the notion that prophetic values ​​serve not merely as a philosophical foundation but as a guiding orientation throughout the entire education management cycle. These values ​​are manifested in setting planning directions, integrating organizational units and programs, executing educational activities, and conducting supervision that emphasizes collective responsibility and continuous improvement. Consequently, the study offers a management alternative characterized by participatory planning, inter-unit integration, adaptation to modern management practices without sacrificing the pesantren's unique character, and the strengthening of self-reflection muhasabah and follow-up actions as mechanisms for continuous improvement. Therefore, this study proposes the integrative, prophetic-value-based Islamic education management model as a framework that enables pesantren to enhance educational quality while preserving their distinctive character and identity

Abstract

This study investigates the structural relationships among transformational leadership, ICT utilization effectiveness, and teacher self-efficacy in relation to teacher innovativeness, examines the mediating role of work motivation, and establishes operational improvement priorities using the SITOREM framework. Using a quantitative survey approach, data were collected from 153 civil servant (ASN) teachers across public senior high schools in West Bogor Regency via multistage random sampling. Data were analyzed sequentially using structural path analysis and SITOREM evaluation in SPSS 26. The findings indicate that all independent variables exert direct, positive, and significant effects on teacher innovativeness, with ICT effectiveness as the strongest predictor (β = 0.425), followed by transformational leadership (β = 0.216), work motivation (β = 0.163), and self-efficacy (β = 0.156). Work motivation significantly operates as a partial mediator across all structural pathways. SITOREM analysis prioritized the pedagogical suitability of ICT tools and teacher proactivity/initiative as the top operational indicators requiring immediate institutional improvement. This research contributes theoretically by advancing an integrative empirical model of teacher innovativeness and, practically, by bridging statistical path analysis and actionable management decision-making. However, the study is limited by its geographical focus on civil servant educators in West Bogor. Future research should expand sampling across broader regional contexts and incorporate variables such as school organizational culture, digital pedagogical competence, and data literacy.

Abstract

The rapid digital transformation of vocational education demands adaptive leadership, yet principal managerial effectiveness often lags behind evolving expectations. Addressing this gap, this study developed and validated an integrative model that examines the direct and indirect influences of digital leadership, data literacy, religiosity, and organizational support on principals’ managerial effectiveness, mediated by work motivation. Using a quantitative explanatory design, survey data were gathered from 206 teachers across 19 private vocational high schools (SMK PGRI) in Jakarta, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) via SmartPLS 4.0 and optimized using the SITOREM method. The structural model explained 88.8% of the variance in managerial effectiveness (R2 = 0.888). Results reveal that digital leadership, data literacy, and religiosity exert significant direct positive effects on managerial effectiveness. Crucially, work motivation emerged as a powerful complementary partial mediator that translates personal competencies and spiritual values into administrative action. Conversely, organizational support showed a non-significant direct effect on managerial effectiveness. SITOREM optimization identified technology utilization, decision-making, and data analysis skills as immediate improvement priorities. This study concludes that enhancing principal effectiveness requires an integrated strategy that blends digital capabilities with values-based spiritual leadership, rooted in intrinsic motivation. Despite cross-sectional and contextual limitations, these results offer a concrete roadmap for evidence-based educational management.
