The Relevance of the Classical Model of Islamic Education Management MTs

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the application of the classical Islamic education management paradigm at MTS Miftahul Falah Gedebage. The thought of thinkers such as Al-Farabi, Al-Ghazali, Ibn Khaldun as well as the theories of Tarbiyah, Ta'lim, and Ta'dih, which emphasized the balance between spiritual, moral, and intellectual aspects in the administration of education, became the foundation of the classical model of Islamic educational management. These classical principles should be studied in the context of management at MTS Miftahul Falah in order to support management practices that are oriented towards morals and character. Using qualitative methodology and descriptive approaches, this study observed and documented MTS leaders, teachers, and administrative staff through in-depth interviews. The suitability of classical management concepts, such as moral leadership, value-based planning, participatory implementation, and supervision that prioritizes character development, was examined to conduct inductive data analysis. The findings of the study show that the classic model of Islamic education management is still highly relevant to the educational management procedures at MTS Miftahul Falah, especially in terms of developing a religious culture, improving staff morale, and helping students grow as individuals. However, its implementation must be modified to meet the requirements of modernity, technology, and the existing educational administration system.
