Nurchalis Aziz, Sitti Mania, Muhammad Nur Akbar Rasyid — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The East Luwu Smart Card Educational Assistance Program is a local government initiative designed to expand access to and support the continuity of higher education for students enrolled in Diploma III and Diploma IV/bachelor’s degree programs during semesters 1–6. This study evaluates the program using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. A qualitative field research approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving beneficiaries, program administrators, higher education institutions, and local government stakeholders. Data were analyzed descriptively through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that, in the context dimension, the program addresses students’ educational needs and supports the regional objective of improving human resource quality. Regarding input, adequate regulatory and financial support is available, although weaknesses remain in program dissemination and beneficiary data verification. The process dimension indicates generally effective implementation, despite delays in fund disbursement and differences in technical understanding among implementers. In terms of product, the program contributes to students’ educational continuity and reduces their financial burden, although its benefits have not been experienced equally by all recipients. The study recommends strengthening program management, enhancing transparency, and implementing continuous evaluation to improve the program’s effectiveness, equity, and sustainability.

Systematic learning evaluation can be used to determine and decide to what extent learning objectives have been achieved. Advances in technology and information play a vital role in digitalisation strategies for learning, one example being the use of Computer-Based Tests (CBT) in the conduct of learning assessment. The aim of this research is to analyse the implementation, outcomes and barriers to the implementation of CBT-based Islamic Education (PAI) learning assessment at SMAN 10 Bogor. The researcher employed a qualitative research method, utilising a case study approach. Data was collected through observation, interviews and documentation. The data sources for this study were the deputy head for curriculum, Islamic Education teachers, the IT team and pupils. The data obtained were subsequently analysed, and the findings of this study indicate that the implementation of CBT-based assessment was carried out in an integrated manner through school management, preparation by Islamic Education teachers and support from the IT team. Its implementation via a local area network was equipped with security mechanisms that supported the creation of a more honest assessment process. The implementation of CBT not only enhances effectiveness, efficiency and objectivity but also contributes to the instilling of Islamic character values, particularly honesty, discipline and self-confidence, in pupils. On the other hand, several obstacles arose due to internal and external factors. Consequently, CBT-based Islamic Education assessment has become an assessment model that combines the effectiveness and efficiency of technology with the reinforcement of pupils’ Islamic character values.

Wirdatul Jinan, Nurmawati Nurmawati — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Learning to memorize the Qur'an in Islamic boarding schools faces a number of classic problems: a manual memorization system, slow monitoring of students' progress, minimal incremental rewards for gradual achievements, and a decline in students' fluctuating motivation. This study aims to: 1) analyze the need for a leaderboard in learning to memorize the Qur'an in Islamic boarding schools, and 2) develop its conceptual design. The approach used is descriptive-qualitative with a literature review design using content analysis techniques that follow the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana with 1) data condensation, 2) data presentation, 3) drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the need for a leaderboard includes functional needs (macro-micro layered rankings, automatic updates, achievement history, badges, and memorization targets) and non-functional needs (ease of use, transparency, fairness, compliance with Islamic ethics, and responsive display). The resulting conceptual design integrates seven core components with a composite scoring mechanism based on five indicators (memorization enhancement, fluency, tajw?d, attendance of deposits, and consistency of muraja'ah) and a six-stage closed-loop workflow. This design is based on five principles: increasing intrinsic motivation, healthy competition, collaboration, Islamic values, and sportsmanship. This research contributes a conceptual framework for a leaderboard that is sensitive to the context of Islamic education and can serve as a basis for developing functional applications in Islamic boarding schools.

Teacher performance is a crucial factor in the success of education, influenced by both professional competence and work discipline in carrying out professional responsibilities. This study aims to analyze the optimization of teacher performance through strengthening work discipline and professional competence at UPTD SD Negeri 2 Tulung Balak, Batanghari Nuban District, East Lampung Regency. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through triangulation and member checking. The findings reveal that teacher performance optimization is achieved through the synergistic strengthening of work discipline and professional competence. Work discipline is reflected in compliance with school regulations, punctuality, responsibility, and consistency in carrying out assigned duties. Meanwhile, professional competence is demonstrated through mastery of subject matter, effective lesson planning and implementation, the utilization of educational technology, and continuous professional development through Teacher Working Group (KKG) activities, training programs, and workshops. The principal's role in providing supervision, guidance, and continuous evaluation serves as a key supporting factor in strengthening these two aspects. The enhancement of work discipline and professional competence has a positive impact on teachers' performance in lesson planning, instructional implementation, assessment, and follow-up actions. Therefore, teacher performance optimization can be achieved through the synergy of work discipline, professional competence, and effective school leadership in fostering a professional work culture.

Governing Generative AI in Islamic Educational Institutions: An Amanah–Adl–Maslahah Framework for Responsible Administration

Rifa'i Rifa'i, Laily Hidayati — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The expansion of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) creates new opportunities for administrative efficiency, data analysis, communication, and decision support in educational institutions, while simultaneously raising concerns about privacy, bias, opacity, cognitive dependence, and blurred human accountability. This study develops a context-sensitive governance framework for GenAI in Islamic educational institutions. It employs an integrative literature review and thematic-comparative analysis of peer-reviewed scholarship on AI in educational leadership and management, responsible AI, AI literacy, digital transformation, and Islamic educational management. The synthesis produces the Amanah–Adl–Maslahah (AAM) Framework, connecting three normative principles with five governance functions: data stewardship, human-in-the-loop decision making, fairness and inclusion, transparency and verification, and capability and continuous evaluation. The framework positions AI as an analytical and administrative support system while retaining moral authority, high-stakes decisions, and institutional accountability with human leaders. Its novelty lies in shifting the discussion from technology adoption to an operational governance architecture that integrates efficiency, accountability, justice, and public benefit in Islamic educational settings. The framework offers a practical basis for institutional policies, standard operating procedures, leadership development, and future empirical research across madrasahs, pesantren, and Islamic schools.

The Role of Islamic Education Management in Developing Student Character in The Era of Globalization

Wed, 16 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The era of globalization has brought about various changes that give both positive and negative impacts on the character development of students. Therefore, educational management is needed that is able to instill Islamic values as the foundation for shaping student character. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic education management in developing student character in the era of globalization. The method used is library research, collecting and analyzing various sources such as books, scientific journals, and documents relevant to the research topic. The results show that Islamic education management has a strategic role in shaping and developing student character through the functions of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling based on Islamic values. The implementation of Islamic education management is carried out through religious habituation, teacher role modeling, the creation of an Islamic school culture, and cooperation among schools, families, and communities. Nevertheless, there are various challenges in developing student character in the era of globalization, such as the negative influence of technology and social media, the entry of foreign cultures, and the declining role of the family in character education. Therefore, an adaptive and innovative strengthening of Islamic education management is needed in order to produce students with noble character who are ready to face the developments of the times.

Multifactor Strategy Model of Principals in Improving Teacher Motivation Post-Self-Development

Serly Aprianti, Dewi Purnama Sari — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study examines the low motivation of teachers at SD Negeri 9 Muara Pinang to participate in Professional Development (PD) despite the Merdeka Belajar policy, which places Professional Development (PD) at the center of educational quality improvement. Existing research on principals' strategies is largely fragmented and lacks a model that integrates the interaction of multiple influencing factors. Using a qualitative intrinsic case study design, this research formulates a multifactor strategic model to strengthen teacher motivation. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, followed by thematic analysis. Findings show that the effectiveness of integrative leadership combining instructional and transformational approaches depends on its interaction with three factor clusters: teachers' motivational profiles (expectancy instrumentality, valence), organizational conditions (collaborative culture and administrative burden), and external dynamics (district policies and committee support. These interactions shape a systemic, non-linear Multifactor Principal Strategy Model equipped with feedback mechanisms. The study concludes that principals must adopt a situational integrative leadership paradigm, acting as diagnosticians who tailor strategies to the unique configuration of these factors. The model contributes both theoretical insight and a contextual operational guide for school leadership.

Ahmad Azkal Azkiya', Lutfi Wakhid, Muhammad Husain — Sun, 27 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of implementing the deep learning curriculum at Madrasah Aliyah Al Amiriyyah Blokagung Banyuwangi and to identify its implications for educational transformation and the potential dehumanization of teachers. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving 25 informants, including the school principal, teachers, parents, and community leaders, during the period of April–August 2026. The findings reveal divergent perceptions among educators and parents regarding the deep learning curriculum: some view it as a transformative innovation fostering creativity and critical thinking, while others feel burdened by technological demands and pedagogical shifts. Furthermore, social resistance emerged from community members who protested against the curriculum, perceiving it as a threat to the religious and moral values traditionally upheld by Islamic education. “Academic outcomes among students also varied: improving for those who were digitally literate but declining for those less adaptive”. These findings suggest that digital transformation in education must be balanced with humanistic and spiritual values to prevent the erosion of teacher–student relationships and avoid the risk of educational dehumanization.

The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.470 indicates Library collections contribute 47.0% to participants' reading interest education, while the remaining 53.0% is influenced by other factors outside this research. It can be concluded that the gap between high pleasure/interest with active involvement is still low, it becomes a critical point that needs to be addressed. intervened, so that the quality and currency of the collection increases libraries need to be integrated with strategies that encourage active reading behavior.

The Resilience of Ma Ibnu Khaldun Toili in Facing Limitations Regarding Educators and Facilities at A Rural Madrasah

Mukzitun Husnah — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze and evaluate the micro-resilience strategies implemented by MA Ibnu Khaldun Toili to overcome limitations regarding subject-specialized educators and physical learning facilities in a rural area. A descriptive-reflective qualitative case study approach was employed. Data were collected through participant observation and document analysis, utilizing the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that the madrasa successfully maintained instructional effectiveness and achieved a 100% graduation rate through three internal adaptation strategies: optimizing multi-subject teaching via a peer-mentoring system to address the shortage of civil servant teachers; modifying the curriculum by substituting physical laboratories with Toili’s open natural environment as a contextual learning space, which reduced student learning anxiety; and mobilizing self-funded resources through community-based tactical partnerships with the school committee, alumni, and local private entities to cover operational deficits. This organizational resilience was driven by the conversion of religious social capital into robust organizational citizenship behavior. The study contributes theoretical insights into micro-level educational resilience in rural settings—an area previously dominated by top-down macro approaches—and provides a practical blueprint for autonomous crisis management that can be replicated by other marginalized schools facing similar resource deprivation.

Pesantren-Based Educational Integration In Encouraging Religious Moderation Among Students

Qoimatul Laili — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Religious moderation needs to be strengthened among students who are exposed to intolerant religious content through social media, and madrasahs increasingly adopt pesantren-based approaches such as the Ma’had program to address this. This study analyzes the integration of pesantren-based education in encouraging religious moderation among students through the Ma’had program at MAN 2 Banyuwangi. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving 21 informants: the head of the madrasah, the Ma’had caretaker, teachers, musyrif, alumni, and students. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, and validity was checked through source and method triangulation. The findings show that the integration of pesantren-based education through the Ma’had program shapes students’ religious moderation in practice through the integration of the formal and Ma’had systems, dormitory life that fosters inclusive and anti-intolerant attitudes, the exemplarity of teachers and musyrif, and collective religious programs that help prevent radical attitudes. Together, these elements instill tolerance, inclusiveness, and polite, harmonious communication among students. This study contributes to Islamic education studies, particularly regarding models of integrating formal education and pesantren to develop moderate, tolerant, and harmonious student character in a madrasah environment.
