Curriculum Management Based on Deep Learning to Improve Graduate Quality
This study examines how immersive learning-based curriculum management contributes to improving graduate quality in an Islamic high school context. Using a qualitative case study approach at MA Riyadul Ulum Pasuruan, data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving school leaders, teachers, staff, and students. Findings indicate that integrating immersive learning principles into curriculum planning, teaching practices, and assessment systems improves students' conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and active learning engagement. The most significant results indicate that the effectiveness of immersive learning is strongly influenced by institutional curriculum management, specifically teacher professional development, consistent policy alignment, and process-oriented assessment. The uniqueness of this study lies in positioning immersive learning not merely as a pedagogical strategy but as an integrated curriculum management framework within the madrasah system, aligning academic competencies and Islamic character education. This study contributes theoretically by expanding the discourse on Islamic education management beyond a normative perspective, and practically by offering a contextual model for developing a madrasah curriculum oriented toward sustainable graduate quality.

Reframing Educational Priorities: A Philosophical Synthesis of Islamic and Critical Pedagogy
This study critically examines the hierarchy of educational elements—material (māddah), method (ṭarīqah), teacher (al-mudarris), and the spirit of the teacher (rūḥ al-mudarris)—from the perspectives of Islamic educational thought and critical pedagogy. Employing a qualitative philosophical literature review, the study synthesizes classical Islamic educational texts, contemporary works on fiqh al-awlawiyyāt, and recent empirical and theoretical literature in critical and humanistic pedagogy (2020–2025). Data were analyzed through thematic and philosophical-analytical procedures to map hierarchical relations among educational elements and to interpret the normative concept of ahammu as a principle of priority rather than negation. The analysis demonstrates that rūḥ al-mudarris constitutes the apex of the educational hierarchy, functioning as an ethical-spiritual habitus that governs pedagogical decision-making regarding materials, methods, and teacher competence. Grounded in fiqh al-awlawiyyāt, the study argues that educational effectiveness depends on the sequential fulfillment of prior elements, culminating in the cultivation of the teacher’s moral-spiritual orientation. This framework challenges technocratic and method-centered reforms by re-centering education as a value-laden praxis. The study’s primary contribution lies in offering a theoretically integrated model that bridges Islamic jurisprudential reasoning and critical pedagogy, positioning the spirit of teaching as a central analytic category in educational theory. The findings have significant implications for educational policy, teacher education, and curriculum development, particularly in contexts seeking to balance technical competence with ethical and spiritual formation.
Akreditasi sebagai Instrumen Manajemen Mutu dan Produktivitas Lembaga Pendidikan
This study aims to analyze the role of the accreditation system in improving the productivity of educational institutions from a strategic management perspective. Accreditation is positioned not only as an external quality assurance mechanism based on compliance with the National Education Standards (SNP), but also as a strategic instrument that drives continuous institutional performance improvement. Within the framework of strategic management, accreditation functions as a performance-based evaluation tool that systematically integrates planning, implementation, control, and quality improvement. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a library research method through analysis of books, scientific articles, and education accreditation policy documents. The results of the study indicate that accreditation significantly contributes to increasing the productivity of educational institutions, reflected in the efficiency of resource management, improvement in learning quality, strengthening of institutional governance, and increased public trust. Conceptually, accreditation forms a strategic cycle that connects quality standards with institutional productivity through mechanisms of self-evaluation, external validation, and continuous improvement follow-up. These findings affirm that accreditation is not merely a tool for measuring administrative quality, but an integral part of institutional development strategy to build competitive excellence and the sustainability of educational organizations. Therefore, the effectiveness of accreditation is highly determined by its integration with the institution's strategic management, the strengthening of a quality culture, as well as the consistency of post-accreditation guidance to realize productive, adaptive, and competitive educational institutions.
Evaluasi Perencanaan Strategis Fakultas Pendidikan Tinggi Islam Berbasis Moderasi Beragama
This study examines strategic planning in Islamic higher education by analyzing the Strategic Plan (Renstra) of the Faculty of Ushuluddin, Adab, and Da’wah (FUAD) as a case study. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, the study evaluates the alignment of vision, mission, and development strategies with the current challenges of Islamic higher education. The findings show that the strategic plan reflects a progressive vision of religious moderation, but its implementation still faces key challenges, particularly in integrating the vision into teaching, research, and community service, ensuring consistent operational strategies, and strengthening institutional independence. The main contribution of this study lies in highlighting the relationship between strategic planning and the mainstreaming of religious moderation values as a framework for strategic management in Islamic higher education. These findings offer both theoretical insight and policy implications for developing more adaptive, value-based, and sustainable strategic planning in Islamic higher education institutions.
Analisis Peran Modalitas Bourdieu dalam Membentuk Identitas Merek (Brand Identity) Sekolah
School brand identity has become a strategic issue in the management of educational institutions, particularly amid the increasing competition among Islamic educational institutions. A strong identity not only functions as an external image but also serves as a reflection of the school’s values, culture, and social capital. Therefore, this study aims to identify and analyze the role of various forms of capital in Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of capital—namely social, cultural, economic, and symbolic capital—in shaping the brand identity of Islamic educational institutions. This research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach at MI Plus Darul Falah. Data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the interactive model developed by Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal that all four forms of capital significantly contribute to the formation of the institutional brand identity of the madrasah. Social capital is built through networks of relationships with the community, parents, and alumni. Cultural capital develops through strong scholarly traditions and religious practices. Economic capital is supported by parental participation and effective school resource management. Symbolic capital is manifested in the institution’s reputation and social status as a leading modern Islamic school. Altogether, these forms of capital shape a collective habitus that constructs the madrasah’s brand identity as a “madrasah of Qur’anic-mannered and high-achieving students.” This study also extends the field of school branding by demonstrating that school brand identity can be constructed through social practices, drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of capital and habitus.
Pengembangan Kompetensi Mengajar Mahasiswa Pascasarjana UIN RIL Melalui Pembelajaran Reflektif dalam Pendidikan Islam
This study examines the role of Field study as a reflective learning strategy in developing teaching competence among postgraduate students in Islamic Education Management. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involved 16 master’s students who conducted face-to-face teaching practice over one academic semester. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and analysis of teaching videos used in structured Video Review sessions. The findings reveal that the integration of Video Review within the Field study program functions as a critical reflective mechanism that transforms teaching practice into a process of pedagogical self-awareness and professional learning. Beyond improving pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies, Video Review enables students to critically evaluate their verbal and non-verbal teaching behaviors, classroom interactions, and instructional decision-making in an objective manner. This reflective process fosters metacognitive awareness, strengthens professional identity, and embeds the Islamic educational value of muhasabah (self-introspection) as a foundation for continuous professional development. This study contributes conceptually by positioning Video Review not merely as an evaluative tool, but as an integral model of reflective learning in Islamic higher education. The findings extend the discourse on reflective teaching by offering a contextualized framework for developing competent, reflective, and value-oriented educators at the postgraduate level of Islamic education.
Pembelajaran Aqidah Akhlaq Berbasis Word Square: Strategi Game-Based Learning dalam Penguatan Minat dan Capaian Belajar Siswa
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Word Square method in improving learning outcomes and student engagement in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning. The Word Square method is understood as a game-based learning strategy that positions students as active subjects in the learning process (student-centered learning), while also promoting the strengthening of concept comprehension, concentration, and learning motivation. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review and conceptual analysis of various scientific sources relevant to PAI learning and innovative active learning methods. The study results indicate that the Word Square method has significant pedagogical potential in creating PAI learning that is interactive, enjoyable, and meaningful. From a managerial-pedagogical perspective, this method supports the development of students' cognitive, affective, and social skills through game-based concept search activities, collaboration, and reflection on Islamic values. The novelty of this study lies in emphasizing the position of Word Square not only as an evaluative technique but also as an educational game-based PAI learning model that aligns with the 21st-century learning paradigm. The conceptual implications of this study affirm that integrating the Word Square method in PAI learning can strengthen student-centered and game-based learning approaches to improve the quality of the learning process and outcomes. Therefore, PAI teachers need to develop adaptive and creative learning designs by utilizing game-based methods as part of pedagogical innovation focused on active engagement and character building of students.
This study aims to analyze the role of dormitory supervisors in student management to improve the discipline of male students at the Miftahul Huda Majenang Islamic Boarding School. The focus of the study is directed at the guidance strategies, supervision patterns, and mechanisms for managing students' daily activities as part of student management practices at the Islamic boarding school. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The research results show that student discipline is formed through the integration of three main elements: intensive, role-model-based guidance, a structured, multi-layered supervision system, and consistent time management. Complex supervisors act as key actors connecting institutional rules with students' daily practices, so that discipline is not merely coercive but internalized in students' behavior. These findings indicate that the effectiveness of student management in Islamic boarding schools is largely determined by a combination of structural controls and cultural approaches. This study concludes that the role of dormitory supervisors is a strategic element in building a sustainable student discipline system. Theoretically, this research contributes to the development of Islamic boarding school-based student management studies by offering an integrative model of guidance, supervision, and role modeling. Practically, these findings can serve as a reference for Islamic boarding schools in designing effective discipline management systems.

Administrative performance as part of the school’s managerial function plays an important role in shaping students’ perceptions and levels of satisfaction. In addition, the quality of educational services has been proven to be a dominant variable that significantly affects student satisfaction; therefore, the quality of educational services is the main determinant of satisfaction among users of educational services. This study aims to determine whether administrative performance and the quality of educational services have a positive and significant effect on student satisfaction The research method used is an associative quantitative approach with a cause-and-effect relationship. The research population consisted of 243 eleventh-grade students of SMK Unggulan NU Mojoagung Jombang, and the sample was determined using the Krejcie and Morgan table, resulting in 152 respondents. Data collection techniques included questionnaires and documentation, using instruments that were established and tested through validity and reliability tests. Data analysis employed multiple linear regression to test the hypotheses both partially and simultaneously using SPSS 20.0 for Windows. The results of the study indicate that:(1) Administrative performance has a positive and significant effect on student satisfaction, as shown by a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and a t-value of 16.667 > t-table of 1.655. Thus, H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, with a contribution effect of 0.097 or 9.7%. (2) The quality of educational services also has a positive and significant effect on student satisfaction, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and a t-value of 21.843 > t-table of 1.655, so H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, with an effect size of 0.681 or 68%. (3) Simultaneously, administrative performance and the quality of educational services have a positive and significant effect on student satisfaction, as evidenced by an F-value of 244.637 > F-table of 3.06 with α = 0.000 < 0.05.
Brand Equity dan Strategi Repositioning Lembaga Pendidikan Dasar Islam dalam Arena Kompetitif
This study aims to analyze the complexity of brand equity and formulate a managerial repositioning model for Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) Darussalam Pikatan as a private Islamic primary education institution operating in the competitive education arena in the Blitar region. This study uses a mixed methods approach with a parallel convergent design, integrating qualitative data (in-depth interviews, observations, document studies, and focus group discussions) and quantitative data (parent perception surveys). The results of the study indicate that MI Darussalam Pikatan is in a position of being stuck in the middle, squeezed between MIN 14 Blitar, which has state-based legitimacy, and SDI Hasyim Asy’ari, which is strong in symbolic capital and religious community ties. Through perceptual mapping analysis and SWOT-TOWS synthesis, this study identified a managerial repositioning model that emphasizes building alternative legitimacy based on measurable performance and Islamic character education that is contextual, inclusive, and modern. This model positions brand equity not merely as a marketing tool, but as a strategic management framework that integrates signature programs, the enhancement of academic and character quality, evidence-based communication, and the strengthening of the parent community. The novelty of this research lies in the formulation of the repositioning of Islamic educational institutions, which shifts from reliance on structural or charismatic legitimacy to performance-based and contextually relevant legitimacy. Conceptually, these findings contribute to the development of Islamic education management by emphasizing that the competitiveness of madrasahs can be built through the integration of Islamic values with modern managerial strategies that are adaptive to the dynamics of the education market.

The findings reveal that the leadership of the kiai does not merely function as traditional charismatic authority but evolves into an adaptive leadership model that integrates moral exemplarity, visionary communication, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration as strategies for strengthening pesantren management. The main finding underscores that transformational leadership serves as a key mechanism in bridging pesantren traditions with the demands of modern educational governance, particularly in program development and the preparation for establishing formal educational institutions. Theoretically, this study extends the discourse on Islamic educational leadership by positioning transformational leadership as a model for pesantren institutional adaptation. Practically, the findings offer strategic references for pesantren management in responding to institutional change while preserving Islamic identity.
Analisis Kesalahan Linguistik dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab Berbasis Pedagogi Islam
This study examines linguistic errors in Arabic language learning among students at Daarul Ijabah Jambe Modern Islamic Boarding School by situating the analysis within the framework of Islamic pedagogy. Unlike previous studies that predominantly adopt a technical-descriptive orientation, this research offers a systematic mapping of linguistic errors as a reflective tool to evaluate the effectiveness of Arabic language instruction in the pesantren context. The analysis focuses on five linguistic aspects: phonology, morphology, syntax, discourse, and imlā’ (Arabic orthography). A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing observation and documentation of students’ spoken utterances and written texts. The findings reveal that linguistic errors are not merely structural in nature such as inaccurate phoneme pronunciation and improper sentence construction but also indicate limited integration between grammatical mastery and communicative learning contexts. These results highlight the need to strengthen Arabic language instruction through pedagogical strategies that integrate linguistic competence with contextual, functional, and communicative principles of Islamic education. Conceptually, this study contributes to the field of Islamic Education by positioning linguistic error analysis as a reflective pedagogical instrument for developing more meaningful and competency-oriented Arabic language learning models in Islamic boarding schools

Implementation challenges, such as limited resources and market dynamics, are addressed through managerial innovation and strengthening internal economic institutions. This model significantly contributes to the institution's financial independence and expands the social function of Islamic education. The findings of this study strengthen the theoretical framework of values-based social entrepreneurship in Islamic educational management, affirming that the integration of knowledge, charity, and economic production can be a sustainable strategy for empowering educational institutions and communities. This model offers practical and conceptual implications for the development of Islamic education that is adaptive, contextual, and oriented towards economic empowerment.
Pendidikan Karakter Humanis-Religius Melalui Pendekatan Pengelolaan Kelas
This study analyzes the formation of students' humanist-religious character through a classroom management approach in Islamic Religious Education learning in high schools. This study is based on the assumption that character education cannot be reduced to the transmission of normative values, but must be understood as a pedagogical process that occurs through social, psychological, and spiritual relations in the classroom. The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, through in-depth interviews, learning observations, and documentation to capture the pedagogical practices of PAI teachers in a contextual and reflective manner. The research findings indicate that democratic, humanist, and freedom-based classroom management functions as a transformative medium in integrating humanitarian and religiosity values ​​simultaneously. PAI teachers act not only as conveyors of teaching materials, but also as moral-spiritual facilitators who build a participatory, empathetic, and reflective classroom climate. The novelty of this study lies in the conceptualization of classroom management as a values-based pedagogical instrument that bridges humanistic educational theory and Islamic character education, thereby broadening the understanding of the internalization of religious values ​​in the context of formal education. Theoretically, this research contributes to the development of character education studies by emphasizing that the effectiveness of Islamic Religious Education learning is largely determined by the design of pedagogical relationships, not solely by curriculum content. These findings recommend the need to integrate a humanist-religious classroom management approach into character education policies and practices in schools.

Hubungan Kesediaan Berkomunikasi dengan Kecemasan Berbicara Bahasa Arab
This study aims to analyze the relationship between willingness to communicate (WTC) and Arabic speaking anxiety among ninth-grade students of MTs Negeri 4 Karanganyar. The background of the study arises from the finding that Arabic speaking skills are often hindered by language anxiety, which affects students' participation in classroom communication activities. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey technique. Data collection instruments include the Willingness to Communicate Scale (McCroskey, 1992) and the Public Speaking Anxiety Scale (PSAS) to measure speaking anxiety. The research sample consisted of 61 students, obtained through a random sampling technique based on Slovin's formula from a population of 155 students. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson product-moment correlation to examine the strength of the relationship between variables. The results showed a significant negative correlation between willingness to communicate and anxiety in speaking Arabic (r = –0.893; p < 0.05). These findings indicate that the higher the students' willingness to communicate, the lower the level of speaking anxiety they experience. An R Square value of 0.798 shows that willingness to communicate contributes 79.8% to Arabic speaking anxiety, while the remainder is influenced by factors beyond this study. Overall, this research confirms that strengthening willingness to communicate plays an important role in reducing Arabic-speaking anxiety. The implications of this study emphasize the need for learning strategies that encourage bravery, provide broader speaking opportunities, and create a non-threatening classroom environment so that students are more active in communication practice.
Budaya Organisasi Islami dan Perilaku Kerja Kolaboratif Guru di Lembaga Pendidikan Islam
Organizational culture plays a strategic role in shaping teachers' work behavior, especially in the context of Islamic educational institutions that prioritize religious values as the foundation for managing education. The challenge of teacher collaboration, which still tends to be individualistic, highlights the importance of strengthening an organizational culture based on Islamic values as the foundation for collective work behavior. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of an organizational culture based on Islamic values in shaping collaborative work behavior among teachers in Islamic educational institutions. The research employs a qualitative approach through a literature study by analyzing relevant scientific literature from 2020–2025 regarding organizational culture, Islamic education management, and teacher collaboration.

This study contributes to strengthening the perspective of Islamic education management by emphasizing that an Islamic organizational culture functions not only as a normative guideline but also as an operational framework in developing sustainable collaborative work behavior among teachers.
Keseimbangan Jiwa dan Akal dalam Filsafat Pendidikan Agama Islam Perspektif Buya Hamka
Islamic education plays a strategic role in shaping holistic human beings by integrating intellectual, spiritual, and moral development. However, contemporary educational practices tend to emphasize cognitive achievement while neglecting the cultivation of the soul and character, which contributes to moral decline and mental health issues among students. This study aims to examine the concept of balance between soul (nafs) and intellect (‘aql) in Buya Hamka’s philosophy of Islamic education and its relevance to contemporary educational challenges. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using library research. Primary data are derived from Buya Hamka’s works, such as Tasawuf Modern and Falsafah Hidup, while secondary data are obtained from relevant scholarly literature. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis, including data reduction, theme classification, and interpretative analysis. The findings reveal that, according to Buya Hamka, ideal Islamic education must integrate intellectual development with spiritual and moral cultivation to achieve mental well-being, inner peace, and moral resilience. This concept is highly relevant to modern Islamic education, as it offers a holistic framework for integrating intellectual, emotional, and spiritual intelligence in developing morally grounded and resilient learners.
Pengaruh Gaya Kepemimpinan, Kepuasan Kerja dan Motivasi Kerja terhadap Kinerja Guru
Improving teacher performance is a key factor in ensuring the quality of education; however, in practice, various indications of teacher performance problems are still found, influenced by leadership, job satisfaction, and work motivation. This study aims to analyze the influence of principals' leadership style, job satisfaction, and work motivation on teacher performance. The research uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. Data were collected through structured questionnaires from 67 teachers as the total population and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 26. The research results indicate that work motivation has a positive and most significant impact on teacher performance, followed by the principal's leadership style, while job satisfaction does not have a significant direct effect. Simultaneously, the three independent variables are able to explain 52% of the variation in teacher performance. This study contributes to strengthening educational management research by emphasizing the importance of enhancing teachers' intrinsic motivation and implementing a participative leadership style as an effective strategy to improve teacher performance at the junior high school level.

Manajemen Sumber Daya Manusia sebagai Instrumen Strategis Penguatan Tata Kelola Kelembagaan Pendidikan Islam
The dynamics of changes in madrasah management demand the implementation of Islamic education management that is adaptive and oriented towards improving quality. This study aims to analyze the practices of Islamic education management in enhancing the quality of education at MAN 3 Ngawi, as well as to identify key factors that influence the effectiveness of madrasah management. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type, conducted directly at MAN 3 Ngawi. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, observation, and document study, with main informants being the head of the madrasah, the vice principal, and teachers. The research results indicate several key findings, namely: (1) the implementation of participative and visionary leadership by the head of the madrasah plays an important role in improving both academic and non-academic quality; (2) madrasah program planning that integrates Islamic values with modern management principles can enhance the effectiveness of educational activities; (3) human resource management through professional development of teachers and educational staff contributes to improving the quality of learning; and (4) the continuous implementation of program evaluation and control serves as a supporting factor in maintaining the consistency of madrasah education quality. This study contributes to the study of Islamic education management by providing an empirical overview of the management practices of public madrasahs that are contextual and applicable. Reflectively, the research findings affirm that the improvement of education quality in madrasahs is determined not only by the completeness of the managerial structure but also by the ability of the leaders and all madrasah members to internalize Islamic values into professional and sustainable management practices.
Integrating Pancasila Student Profile and Islamic Education: A Character Education Model within the Independent Curriculum
The Independent Curriculum in Indonesia emphasizes character education through the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5). However, existing studies generally examine P5 implementation and Islamic character education within Islamic Religious Education (PAI) as separate domains, leaving a conceptual gap regarding their pedagogical integration. This study aims to analyze how P5 values are operationally integrated with Islamic educational principles in character formation within the Independent Curriculum. This research employed a qualitative descriptive case study approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis involving school leaders, P5 coordinators, teachers, and parents. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by methodological and source triangulation to ensure credibility. The findings indicate that P5–PAI integration is implemented through a structured instructional process across three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. At the planning stage, P5 dimensions are aligned with Islamic character values within curriculum documents and lesson designs. Implementation occurs across intra-curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities through habituation-based religious practices and contextual learning. Evaluation emphasizes continuous character monitoring supported by teacher observation and home–school collaboration rather than solely academic assessment. This study contributes theoretically by conceptualizing an operational integration model of P5 and Islamic character education, positioning national character education policy as a pedagogical resource within Islamic education. Practically, the findings provide a contextual reference for educators and curriculum developers implementing P5 within PAI learning in alignment with the objectives of the Independent Curriculum
At-Tarbiyah Furusiyah Al-Islamiyah as a Model for Mental Development in Islamic Boarding School Education
The mental development of santri is a fundamental aspect of pesantren education in responding to the challenges of character building and the resilience of the younger generation in the contemporary era. At-Tarbiyah Furusiyah Al-Islamiyah, as a physical education program based on the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) such as horseback riding and archery, is considered relevant in integrating physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions. This study aims to analyze the implementation of At-Tarbiyah Furusiyah Al-Islamiyah in the mental development of students, as well as to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving 24 informants, consisting of caregivers, administrators, trainers, and students. Data analysis was conducted interactively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that At-Tarbiyah Furusiyah Al-Islamiyah is effective in shaping spiritual mentalities (trust in God and sincerity), ideological mentalities (courage and loyalty), as well as disciplined and resilient mentalities (focus and toughness). The success of the program is supported by the strong pesantren culture and the enthusiasm of the students, while limitations in time, facilities, and parents' understanding become the main obstacles. This study contributes to enriching the study of Islamic physical education as a model for holistic and contextual mental development of students.
Integrasi Analitik Pendidikan dan Q-Methodology dalam Pengembangan Model Evaluasi Kurikulum Multidimensi
The study addresses a critical limitation of conventional evaluation models such as Tyler, CIPP, and Kirkpatrick, which tend to emphasize linear outcomes while inadequately capturing learning processes, stakeholder subjectivity, and the growing role of digital technologies in education. Using the PRISMA protocol, this review analyzes peer-reviewed Scopus-indexed articles published between 2013 and 2025. The search process yielded 250 articles, which were systematically screened and refined to eight core studies that explicitly examined technology-integrated evaluation, data analytics, or Q-Methodological approaches. Bibliometric mapping using VOSviewer and trend analysis with R Studio were employed to identify conceptual patterns, methodological tendencies, and research gaps. The findings are synthesized at a conceptual level and reveal three core insights. First, curriculum evaluation research is increasingly data-driven, with learning analytics and machine learning used to predict performance, engagement, and learning trajectories, yet these approaches remain largely reductionist when detached from contextual meaning. Second, Q-Methodology consistently emerges as a robust method for capturing structured subjectivity, enabling the identification of distinct stakeholder perspectives that are otherwise overlooked in metric-based evaluation models. Third, the reviewed studies demonstrate that neither analytics nor Q-Methodology alone can adequately support holistic evaluation; rather, their integration enables a multidimensional assessment encompassing cognitive, affective, behavioral, and social domains of learning. This study contributes theoretically to educational management by conceptualizing curriculum evaluation as an adaptive, formative, and socio-technical process rather than a static measurement activity. The proposed hybrid framework positions evaluation as a strategic tool for decision-making, organizational learning, and curriculum governance. Practically, the findings are particularly relevant for developing education systems such as Indonesia’s Kurikulum Merdeka, where contextual diversity, digital transition, and stakeholder participation demand more inclusive and responsive evaluation models. By articulating a conceptual synthesis rather than a procedural template, this article advances curriculum evaluation scholarship toward a holistic and future-oriented paradigm.
Manajemen Santri Baru sebagai Sistem Preventif dalam Mitigasi Bullying di Pesantren
This study examines how the management of new students functions as a preventive system in mitigating bullying behavior in Islamic boarding schools. Until now, research on bullying in pesantren has mostly focused on case handling and counseling approaches, while the role of student management during the initial admission and adaptation phase as a structural prevention instrument is still relatively limited. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted at Pondok Pesantren Tanwirul Ulum Umbulsari Semboro Jember through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, with validation through triangulation and member checking. The research results show that bullying mitigation is implemented through three integrated stages of new student management, namely: (1) acceptance and orientation that combines administrative, adaptive, and cultural mechanisms; (2) adaptation guidance and ongoing character development; and (3) internal supervision and regulation through restorative justice-based counseling, involvement of students' guardians, and formal behavior agreements. These three stages form a preventive system that not only addresses cases of bullying but also suppresses its structural and cultural roots. This study contributes to the development of Islamic education management by positioning new student management as a preventive governance framework in bullying mitigation in pesantren.
Integration of Philosophical and Theoretical Paradigms in Developing an Adaptive Islamic Education Curriculum for the Modern Era
This study aims to analyze issues related to the integration of philosophical and theoretical paradigms in the development of an adaptive Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum in the modern era. It employs a library research approach by collecting, analyzing, and synthesizing data from relevant literature, including books, journals, and policy documents. The analysis is conducted descriptively-analytically through content analysis to examine themes, concepts, and patterns concerning the integration of philosophy and theory in PAI curriculum development. The findings and discussion affirm that the integration of Islamic philosophical paradigms and modern educational theories in the development of the Islamic Religious Education curriculum constitutes a strategic foundation for curriculum renewal that is responsive to contemporary demands. The novelty of this study lies in the formulation of an integrative conceptual framework that positions Islamic philosophy grounded in the Qur’an and Hadith as the normative foundation for the formation of insan kamil, while synthesizing essentialism, progressivism, constructivism, and humanism as operational pedagogical approaches. Theoretically, this study advances PAI curriculum theory by shifting its orientation from a normative–ritualistic focus toward an adaptive, holistic, contextual, and transformative curriculum that emphasizes the strengthening of spiritual, moral, and social values, as well as 21st-century skills (4C). The main conceptual outcome of this research is an integrative–adaptive PAI curriculum model that requires alignment of institutional vision, reflective teacher competence, sustainable policy support, and the implementation of innovative, meaningful, and effective learning strategies for learners.
Peran Sistem Reward dalam Pencapaian Kurikulum Pembelajaran Nahwu melalui Strategi Hafalan Alfiyah Ibnu Malik
Nahwu learning based on memorizing Alfiyah Ibnu Malik has long been used in Islamic boarding schools, but its effectiveness in supporting curriculum achievement still largely depends on the management system of students' learning motivation. One instrument that is widely used, yet has been minimally studied from a curriculum perspective, is the reward system. This study aims to analyze the role of the reward system in improving curriculum achievement in nahwu learning through the Alfiyah Ibnu Malik memorization strategy at Pondok Pesantren Putri Salafiyah 2 Bangil. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving students at the Madrasah Aliyah level. The results of the study indicate that the reward system, which is directly linked to memorization achievements through regular deposit mechanisms, scheduled revision, and final evaluations, functions as a reinforcement instrument that enhances students' discipline, diligence, and learning consistency. Formally and structurally provided rewards not only motivate students to achieve their memorization targets but also help the institution to control the achievement of the nahwu curriculum more systematically. These findings indicate that the reward system not only serves as external motivation but also functions as part of curriculum management that bridges cognitive goals (mastery of nahwu rules) and the development of students' learning character. This study contributes to the development of a nahwu learning model based on memorization, integrated with a motivation and curriculum management system in the pesantren environment.

This study aims to analyze the management of the acceleration program in enhancing the quality and competitiveness of madrasahs at MTsN 1 Kediri, covering aspects of planning, implementation, evaluation, as well as the challenges and solutions of its implementation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques were conducted through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, with informants including the head of the madrasah, program managers, teachers, and students. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, as well as testing the validity of the data using triangulation. The results of the study indicate that the management of the acceleration program at MTsN 1 Kediri is implemented systematically and continuously, marked by structured planning, adaptive learning implementation according to the characteristics of the students, and program evaluation oriented towards improving both academic and non-academic quality. The acceleration program has been proven to make a significant contribution to enhancing student achievement and strengthening the school's competitiveness at the regional level. The main challenges include managing study time and improving teacher competence, which are addressed through professional training and strengthening institutional collaboration. This research has implications for enhancing Islamic education management practices, as well as providing practical contributions as a model for managing acceleration programs that can be replicated by other madrasahs to improve the quality and competitiveness of institutions.
Strategi Manajemen Konflik Berbasis Nilai Islam dalam Peningkatan Kinerja Guru
This research is motivated by the importance of conflict management as a process of planning and implementing strategies aimed at controlling conflict to produce the desired resolution. In its implementation, conflict management is designed by adopting the management functions of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling (POAC), which directly support the improvement of teacher performance. This study aims to determine conflict management strategies in improving teacher performance at MTsN 1 Sumenep. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study type, utilizing data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies. The results of this study reveal that the conflict management strategies implemented at MTsN 1 Sumenep are based on theology from the Qur'an and Hadith, including: 1) negotiation; 2) tabayyun; 3) deliberation; 4) tahkim; and 5) islah. The implications of these findings confirm that effective conflict management can be carried out to improve teacher performance based on Islamic values.
Unity of Science As A New Paradigm to Strengthen The Governance and Quality of Islamic Educational Institutions
The concept of Unity of Science has developed as an important paradigm in efforts to overcome the dualism of knowledge that still influences the governance and quality of Islamic educational institutions. This dualism has an impact on the fragmentation of institutional management, the learning process, and the relevance of graduate competencies. This study aims to analyze the application of the Unity of Science as an integrative paradigm in the governance and quality management of Islamic educational institutions, not limited to the curriculum aspect alone. This study uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies with descriptive analysis of sources in the form of scientific journal articles, academic books, and relevant policy documents. The research stages include a review of the theoretical basis of Unity of Knowledge, mapping of the concept of Islamic education governance, and an integrative analysis of the relevance and implementation of this paradigm in a managerial context. The results show that Unity of Knowledge can function as a conceptual framework that strengthens institutional governance through the integration of spiritual values, scientific rationality, and professional practices in education management. This research confirms the theoretical contribution of the Unity of Knowledge as a comprehensive paradigm for the governance and quality improvement of Islamic educational institutions. In conclusion, the application of the Unity of Knowledge paradigm has the potential to improve the quality of Islamic educational institution management to be more adaptive and systematic.
Integrasi Ekoteologi dan Prinsip Intelektualitas, Spiritualitas, Integritas (ISI) dalam Penguatan Manajemen Pendidikan Islam Berbasis Nilai
This research is motivated by the increasingly urgent need to integrate ecotheological values ​​into Islamic Education Management (MPI) as a response to the global ecological crisis and environmental moral degradation in educational institutions. The purpose of this research is to analyze how ecotheological values ​​can be internalized in madrasah policies, curricula, and managerial practices, and to develop a conceptual model for managing ecologically-minded Islamic education. The main problem examined is the weak translation of the spiritual values ​​of khalīfah and amanah into a concrete managerial system. This research uses a contextual qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation review at MTs Al-Hidayah Sukajaya, Bandar Lampung. The results show that the successful integration of ecotheology into MPI depends on the synergy of three main aspects: ontology (spiritual values), epistemology (sources of Islamic and environmental knowledge), and axiology (managerial goals). It was also found that the desire for an ecologically-minded education program requires the support of madrasah policies, teacher capacity building, and partnerships with environmental institutions.
Tantangan Implementasi Coding dan Artificial Intelligence dalam Kurikulum Nasional: Perspektif Keadilan dan Kesiapan Pembelajaran
The Indonesian government has included coding and AI in the national curriculum to improve students' digital literacy, but there are obstacles to implementation in disadvantaged areas. This journal aims to identify barriers ranging from technological infrastructure readiness and teacher competence to socio-cultural aspects that affect the implementation of coding and AI learning in disadvantaged areas. The method used is a qualitative literature study with thematic analysis of various reliable sources to obtain a comprehensive overview and strategic solutions. The results show that limited electricity, internet access, and technological devices are the main obstacles, accompanied by a lack of teacher training and a curriculum that is not adaptive to local conditions. In addition, the gap in students' digital literacy and socio-cultural attitudes are also hindering factors. The gap between the idealism of national policy and the reality on the ground is an important focus that has not been studied in depth. Previous studies have mostly described general obstacles without taking into account the specific geographical and socioeconomic factors of disadvantaged areas. Contextual implementation strategies, intensive teacher training, optimization of alternative infrastructure, and the involvement of various stakeholders are considered key to the successful equitable distribution of technology learning in disadvantaged areas. This study makes an important contribution to the development of inclusive and equitable technology education in Indonesia.
