The Role of the Madrasah Principal in Fostering Ideal Leadership at MAN 4 Banyuwangi
type: item
description: This study aims to comprehensively analyze the strategic role of the madrasah principal in establishing an ideal Islamic educational leadership model at MAN 4 Banyuwangi. Employing a qualitative approach with an explanatory case study design, data were gathered from six key informants—comprising the madrasah principal, vice-principals of curriculum, student affairs, and public relations, as well as educational support staff—through in-depth interviews, passive participant observation, and documentary studies. Data trustworthiness was ensured using source and technique triangulation, while data analysis applied the interactive analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña continuously. The findings reveal that the ideal leadership at MAN 4 Banyuwangi is realized through the tactical integration of Islamic prophetic values (amanah, 'adl, shura, and uswah) with modern transformational-participative leadership styles. The principal successfully transformed traditional administrative-bureaucratic functions into those of an inclusive change leader by actively involving teachers in strategic policy formulation. Furthermore, the principal’s interpersonal approach and exemplary behavior (uswah) proved effective as a catalyst for educators' intrinsic motivation, navigating the financial rigidities imposed by state budget allocation (DIPA) regulations. The internalization of these spiritual values has significant implications for cultivating a solid, religious, and quality-driven organizational culture that is adaptive to the socio-cultural challenges of a society in transition. This research offers a theoretical contribution to constructing a contemporary value-based leadership model within Islamic educational institutions.

Typology and Styles of Educational Leadership and Their Implementation in Educational Institutions
type: item
description: Educational leadership is a critical factor in determining program effectiveness, learning quality, and school culture, yet challenges like low management efficiency and weak educator collaboration persist. This study examines various educational leadership styles, typologies, and their practical implementation within educational institutions. Employing a qualitative library research methodology, data were gathered from diverse scientific literature sources, including books and journal articles, and analyzed using content analysis to understand leadership patterns deeply. The results identify five primary contemporary leadership styles: instructional, transformational, distributional, participatory, and adaptive-integrative. While each style possesses distinct characteristics and focuses, they collectively complement one another to support organizational effectiveness. This study concludes that the success of educational leadership depends heavily on the leader's ability to flexibly integrate these various styles according to institutional contexts and needs. Such strategic integration plays a crucial role in improving learning quality, strengthening professional collaboration, and supporting seamless adaptation to changes within the modern educational landscape.

The Philosophy of Islamic Education Policy: An Ontological, Epistemological, and Axiological Analysis of Islamic Religious Education Policy
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the philosophical foundations of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) policy through the integrated perspectives of ontology, epistemology, and axiology using a qualitative literature review approach. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journal articles, scholarly books, conference proceedings, and institutional reports related to Islamic educational philosophy and educational policy. The literature was analyzed using thematic analysis to identify conceptual patterns, theoretical relationships, and emerging perspectives. The findings indicate that ontology explains the nature and purpose of Islamic education based on the principles of tawhid and holistic human development; epistemology emphasizes the integration of revelation, reason, empirical inquiry, and critical reflection in educational policymaking; while axiology highlights Islamic ethical values as the normative foundation for educational objectives, curriculum development, and institutional governance. This study contributes to the development of Islamic education policy theory by proposing an integrated philosophical framework that bridges fragmented philosophical discussions and provides practical guidance for designing value-based, philosophically coherent, and contextually relevant Islamic Religious Education policies

Rethinking Policy Paradigms: From Technocratic Governance to Value-Based and Socially Just Policies
type: item
description: Global educational policies are increasingly dominated by technocratic governance that prioritizes quantitative metrics, standardization, and performative accountability. While structured to elevate quality, this rigid approach inadvertently marginalizes the humanistic, spiritual, and social justice dimensions within faith-based institutions such as madrasahs. This qualitative case study aims to deconstruct the impacts of technocratic governance and propose an alternative framework through the conceptualization of a Vibrant Social-Justice Policy Framework. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentary analysis involving madrasah leaders, educators, and policy stakeholders. The study focuses on three main trajectories: analyzing the structural distortions of metrics-based regulations, exploring the internalization of value-based policies, and reconstructing socially just educational practices at the grassroots level. The findings indicate that purely technocratic mandates trigger professional alienation among teachers and displace the core spiritual identity of madrasahs. However, through strategic bottom-up value negotiations, madrasahs can successfully integrate spiritual-humanist values and distributive justice into their daily operations. This integration restores pedagogical autonomy and fosters a more inclusive quality ecosystem without compromising administrative relevance. This study contributes a novel theoretical lens to the sociology of Islamic educational policy and offers humanistic regulatory recommendations for policymakers.

Knowledge Authority and Value Degradation in the AI Era Rethinking Islamic Education
type: item
description: The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has not only transformed information access but has also shifted traditional knowledge authority toward algorithm-driven systems. Within Islamic education, this phenomenon triggers an epistemological dilemma and raises concerns regarding the degradation of moral values and academic character among learners. This study aims to analyze how AI transforms knowledge authority in Islamic education, identify the manifestations of value degradation it causes, and propose a reconstruction of the Islamic educational paradigm to integrate AI ethically and responsibly. This study employed a qualitative literature review approach, utilizing the interactive thematic analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. Peer-reviewed journal articles from Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and Google Scholar databases published between 2020 and 2026 were critically analyzed and synthesized from a philosophical-epistemological perspective. The findings indicate that AI has shifted teacher authority from an information ownership paradigm (information authority) toward an interpretive and ethical guidance paradigm (interpretive and ethical authority). Furthermore, excessive dependence on AI potentially triggers the degradation of essential educational values such as intellectual struggle (mujāhadah), the ethics of seeking knowledge (adab al-'ilm), truthfulness (ṣidq), and responsibility (amānah). To address this, this study proposes a reconstruction of the Islamic educational paradigm through a value-based AI integration framework, where teachers are repositioned as epistemic mentors and AI is utilized strictly as a supportive instrument. Theoretically, this study extends the discourse on educational technology by offering a theological-philosophical synthesis that preserves the authenticity of scholarly lineage (sanad) and morality in the digital era.

A Cultural Management Model for Building an Anti-Bullying Environment in Islamic Boarding Schools: A Case Study of Pondok Pesantren Darussalam Paciran Lamongan
type: item
description: This study examines how pesantren culture management can be developed as a strategic model to build an anti-bullying environment for santri, using Pondok Pesantren Darussalam Paciran, Lamongan, as the case. Bullying among santri is often rooted not merely in individual behavior but in the organizational culture of the boarding school, including seniority patterns, weak supervision, and unwritten norms that normalize harsh treatment among peers. This research employs a qualitative case study approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews with the kiai, pengasuh, and santri, participant observation of daily boarding life, and documentation of pesantren regulations. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings show that Pondok Pesantren Darussalam develops an anti-bullying culture through four interrelated components: internalization of Islamic values, exemplary leadership from the kiai, structured and participatory supervision, and an educative sanction system supported by a santri reporting mechanism. These components form an integrated cultural management model that shifts bullying prevention from reactive punishment toward proactive value-based culture building. The study concludes that deliberate pesantren culture management can significantly reduce bullying risk and strengthen a safe, brotherly, and educative santri environment.

Developing a Digital Islamic Education Model: Integrating Artificial Intelligence, Islamic Pedagogy, and Digital Learning Ecosystems
type: item
description: This study investigates the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the subsequent transformation of the digital learning ecosystem within Islamic Education (PAI) at SMA 01 Tiris. Operating within a qualitative intrinsic case study design, this research explores how modern educational technologies can be adopted without reducing the foundational spiritual and affective dimensions of traditional Islamic pedagogy. Data were comprehensively gathered using method triangulation—comprising semi-structured in-depth interviews with key institutional stakeholders, participant observations of digital classroom dynamics, and documentary analysis of digital curricula and artifacts. The collected data were analyzed interactively using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña framework, while scientific trustworthiness was secured via source triangulation, technical triangulation, and member checking. The empirical findings reveal that the mechanism of AI integration does not lead to institutional secularization; instead, it establishes a framework of "Guided Techno-Spiritual Symbiosis." Within this dual-layered model, AI successfully automates the profane-computational domain by providing cognitive scaffolding, while the human educator retains absolute jurisdiction over the sacred-transformational domain to nurture moral character (akhlak). Furthermore, the structural transformation of the digital learning environment introduces an "Ethical Digital Buffer" based on the prophetic principle of verification (tabayyun), which simultaneously stimulates high-order cognitive competence and digital literacy inside a controlled ethical framework. This study contributes a novel tekno-pedagogical blueprint for religious educational institutions, proving that technological modernism can be harmoniously anchored by transcendental values.

Constructing Ecological Identity in Islamic Higher Education: A Systematic Review of Green Branding and Sustainability Management
type: item
description: Environmental sustainability has emerged as a defining dimension of institutional legitimacy in higher education, driven by the global expansion of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and growing expectations for universities to demonstrate ecological responsibility. Within Islamic higher education, however, a persistent gap remains between rich theological doctrines concerning environmental stewardship and the limited institutionalization of ecological identity within governance and reputation management practices. This study aims to examine how ecological identity can be constructed through the integration of Eco-Islamic values, sustainability management, and green branding strategies. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by the PRISMA protocol, the study synthesizes scholarly publications indexed in Scopus and SINTA between 2016 and 2026. The review reveals that existing scholarship largely treats Islamic environmental ethics, sustainability governance, and green branding as separate domains, resulting in fragmented conceptual understanding. In response, this study develops the Eco-Islam Green Branding Architecture, a novel conceptual framework that links theological values, institutional sustainability practices, and environmental communication within a unified model of ecological identity formation. The framework contributes both theoretically and practically by providing a pathway through which Islamic higher education institutions can cultivate authentic ecological legitimacy and advance toward the realization of a Sustainable Islamic University

Spiritual Leadership as an Antidote to Academic Burnout: A Conceptual Synthesis of Role Conflict Resolution in Islamic Educational Institutions
type: item
description: Academic burnout within Islamic higher education has evolved into a systemic psychosocial crisis driven by the intensification of global performativity regimes, where publication metrics, accreditation demands, and bureaucratic accountability structures generate persistent role conflict and ontological dissonance among academics whose professional identity is simultaneously anchored in moral, pedagogical, and spiritual responsibilities. Addressing this condition requires more than managerial adaptation; it necessitates a reconstruction of leadership itself. Employing a Critical Conceptual Synthesis design, this study undertakes a dialectical interrogation of dominant techno-managerial paradigms and systematically reconfigures Fry’s Spiritual Leadership framework as an alternative explanatory and organizational architecture. The synthesis identifies three principal role-conflict typologies idealism–pragmatism incongruence, temporal overload, and ambiguity of rewards and demonstrates that the integrated operationalization of Vision, Hope/Faith, and Altruistic Love functions as a structural mechanism capable of neutralizing Rizzo’s role conflicts while simultaneously mitigating Maslach’s dimensions of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced professional accomplishment. The resulting framework advances a paradigmatic shift in Islamic Educational Management, repositioning institutional governance beyond secular corporate mimicry toward an ethical-spiritual model that prioritizes meaning, psychosocial resilience, communal belonging, and human flourishing as foundational conditions of sustainable academic life.

Artificial Intelligence Readiness in Educational Management
type: item
description: The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has driven significant transformation in educational systems, particularly in educational management, which requires organizational readiness and adaptive leadership to respond to digital change. However, the implementation of AI in Indonesia still faces several challenges, including low levels of digital literacy, limited technological infrastructure, and the lack of optimal leadership strategies in education. This study aims to analyze the level of AI Readiness in educational management and to examine leadership strategies and organizational readiness of schools in responding to AI-based educational transformation. This research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach by analyzing relevant scholarly literature from reputable international journals and credible academic sources. The findings indicate that organizational readiness is influenced by several key factors, including human resource competencies, technological infrastructure, digital leadership, organizational culture, and policy support. In addition, digital leadership plays a crucial role in fostering innovation and strengthening sustainable organizational readiness. This study contributes by proposing an integrative conceptual model that combines AI Readiness, Digital Leadership, and Organizational Readiness as a strategic framework for developing AI-based educational management. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights for policymakers and educational practitioners in designing more adaptive and sustainable digital transformation strategies in Indonesia.

Transforming Educational Quality Through Strategic Financial Planning Management
type: item
description: This study investigates the financial planning process at MTs Daruttawabin, focusing on the planning stage of madrasah financial management an aspect underexplored in Islamic education governance research. Using a qualitative approach through interviews, observation, and documentation analysis of RKAM and financial reports, the study finds that financial planning follows a sequential process of needs identification, budget drafting, and management coordination, yet is constrained by heavy dependency on a single funding source (BOS), limited stakeholder participation, and weak long-term needs mapping. These findings contribute theoretically to Islamic educational management by affirming the relevance of participatory and transparency-based planning models, while practically offering a basis for redesigning madrasah financial governance through funding diversification and institutionalization of long-term planning mechanisms.

Leadership And Entrepreneurial Ethics In Islamic Education
type: item
description: This study examines the synergy between leadership and entrepreneurial ethics in Islamic education as a strategy to improve the quality of educational institution management. Leadership from an Islamic perspective emphasizes not only the ability to organize and direct, but also requires exemplary conduct, trustworthiness (amanah), and justice in managerial processes. Meanwhile, entrepreneurial ethics based on Islamic values stress honesty, halal practices, responsibility, and excellent service in all economic activities. The integration of these two aspects can be observed in Islamic schools through the development of entrepreneurship programs managed professionally while remaining grounded in spiritual values, such as student cooperatives, skills training, and market day activities. This synergy not only supports the economic independence of schools but also serves as a medium for character building, fostering students who are creative, independent, and possess noble character. Therefore, the implementation of Islamic leadership combined with entrepreneurial ethics is able to create a religious, productive, and competitive educational environment, thereby contributing significantly to the sustainable improvement of the quality of Islamic educational institutions.

description: The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) has begun to reshape higher education worldwide, opening new opportunities for innovation in teaching, learning, and research. In Nigeria, where higher education research often struggles with limited funding, infrastructural deficits, and restricted access to global resources, the integration of AI offers both promise and uncertainty. This paper critically examines the prospects and challenges of harnessing AI in higher education research in Nigeria, with a view to identifying strategies that can support its responsible adoption. Adopting a position paper methodology, the study relies on a review and synthesis of secondary sources, including scholarly articles, policy documents, and institutional reports. The analysis was guided by thematic categorisation of opportunities and challenges, with emphasis on the Nigerian higher education context. The findings indicate that AI can enhance efficiency in research processes, broaden access to global scholarship, promote personalised and inclusive studies, and safeguard research quality. However, infrastructural weaknesses, limited technical skills, concerns over data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the absence of strong regulatory frameworks remain significant barriers to adoption. The paper concludes that the responsible integration of AI requires strategic investments in digital infrastructure, researcher capacity-building, ethical safeguards, and locally relevant AI tools. By addressing these issues, Nigerian universities can leverage AI to advance innovation, inclusivity, and sustainability in higher education research, contributing more effectively to national and global knowledge economies.

Continuities and Transformations in Identifying Gifted Students: The Role of Technology and Equity
type: item
description: Gifted education has historically relied on narrow definitions of ability, often equating giftedness with high IQ scores and standardised test performance. While these measures provide clear benchmarks, they have been widely criticised for overlooking creativity, socio-emotional skills, and culturally diverse expressions of talent. The purpose of this research was to explore the continuities and transformations in gifted identification, with particular attention to the role of technology and equity. Specifically, the research asked how traditional markers of giftedness have persisted, how technological innovations have transformed identification practices, and what ethical and inclusivity challenges accompany these changes. Methodologically, the research adopted a qualitative desk research approach. A systematic review of scholarly publications, policy documents, and empirical studies published between 2015 and 2025 was conducted, complemented by key historical works. Thematic analysis was used to trace patterns of continuity, innovation, and ethical concern. The findings revealed that cognitive ability, creativity, problem-solving, and teacher judgment remain central in identification practices, reflecting their deep institutional embeddedness. At the same time, dynamic assessments, AI-driven adaptive platforms, and psychometric modelling represent a significant shift toward more individualised and process-oriented approaches. However, without safeguards, these innovations risk perpetuating inequities. It was concludes that gifted identification must be reframed as both a technical and ethical endeavour. Its contribution lies in offering a conceptual framework that balances innovation with equity, guiding policymakers and educators toward more inclusive and culturally responsive practices.

The Impact of Educator Salary Financing Schemes on Basic and Higher Education Quality in Indonesia
type: item
description: This study examines the relationship between educator salary financing policies and the quality of education at both basic and higher levels in Indonesia, with the primary objective of identifying how different salary financing schemes influence teacher welfare, motivation, and ultimately educational outcomes. Using a library research method, this study relies on primary sources such as government regulations and policy documents as well as secondary sources including scholarly articles, reports, and statistical data, with data analyzed through content analysis to explore patterns, comparisons, and critical interpretations. The findings show that educator salary financing plays a decisive role in shaping the overall quality of education, where adequate and sustainable financing schemes improve teacher welfare, performance, classroom engagement, and research productivity, while inadequate or uneven financing structures pose challenges in achieving national education goals. These results suggest that salary financing should be considered not merely as a budgetary expense but as a strategic investment in educational development. The implication of this study is the urgent need for policymakers to design equitable, transparent, and sustainable financing models that align with Indonesia’s long-term vision of improving educational quality.

When the Dignity of Teachers is Underestimated and the Allowance of the House of Representatives is Perpetuated, An Analysis of Inequality in Education Management
type: item
description: The paradox of education in Indonesia is clearly seen through the inequality between the budget for the political elite and the condition of vocational schools at the grassroots level. SMK Nurul Qarnain, a Visual Communication Design major established in 2023 with around 180 students, faces limited facilities, including the absence of a computer laboratory. The policy allows students to bring personal laptops as an adaptive solution that reflects the creativity of pesantren-based education management. Meanwhile, the large salaries and allowances of members of the House of Representatives and the discourse on teacher salaries cause fiscal injustice and weaken the legitimacy of public policy. The qualitative analysis of the case study shows that the limitations of facilities encourage managerial innovation, but still affirm the urgency of redistributing the education budget so that vocational schools receive proportionate support. These findings strengthen academic discussions on the relationship between fiscal justice, policy legitimacy, and the sustainability of vocational education in Indonesia.

Strategic Leadership in Islamic Education: Enhancing School Effectiveness through Faith-Based Management Approaches
type: item
description: This study explores the role of strategic leadership in Islamic education as a driver of school effectiveness through faith-based management approaches. Islamic education carries a dual mission: achieving academic excellence while fostering moral and spiritual values. Thus, leadership requires not only managerial competence but also the integration of Islamic principles such as amanah (trust), adl (justice), and ihsan (excellence). Adopting a qualitative library research approach, this paper reviews theoretical perspectives and prior studies on educational leadership to analyze how strategic leadership aligns institutional goals with both contemporary demands and Islamic values. The findings indicate that faith-based strategic leadership strengthens school culture, enhances teacher performance, and supports student achievement by combining modern management practices with religious ethics. The study concludes that strategic leadership rooted in Islamic principles enriches educational management by embedding ethical and spiritual dimensions into leadership practices. This integration enables Islamic schools to remain academically competitive while preserving their religious mission, providing valuable insights for leaders and policymakers committed to advancing effective and value-driven education.

Quality Assurance in Islamic Education A Comparative Study of Accreditation Standards and Sharia Based Educational Values
type: item
description: Quality assurance in education is essential to ensuring accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement across institutions worldwide. In Islamic education, this process requires a dual focus: compliance with national and international accreditation standards and the preservation of Sharia-based values that emphasize ethics, spirituality, and holistic human development. This study employed a qualitative, comparative approach using document analysis, literature review, and thematic analysis to explore the intersection of accreditation requirements and Islamic educational principles. Findings reveal that quality assurance in Islamic education encompasses curriculum integrity, teaching and learning quality, governance, student development, and community engagement. Accreditation standards provide structure, accountability, and competitiveness, while Sharia values enrich education with moral and spiritual dimensions. The results show that both frameworks complement one another, fostering graduates who are academically competent and spiritually committed. However, challenges persist, including financial constraints, human resource limitations, and the difficulty of integrating secular and religious curricula. The study concludes that a balanced, integrated model of quality assurance rooted in both accreditation standards and Sharia principles offers a sustainable pathway for Islamic educational institutions, ensuring their credibility, integrity, and contribution to society.

The Role of Ethical Leadership in Strengthening Organizational Culture within Islamic Higher Education
type: item
description: This study explores the role of ethical leadership in strengthening organizational culture within Islamic higher education institutions. Ethical leadership, which emphasizes integrity, justice, accountability, and spiritual guidance, is essential for aligning academic excellence with Islamic values. Unlike secular institutions that often prioritize managerial efficiency, Islamic higher education requires leadership that functions not only as an administrative tool but also as a moral compass. Using a qualitative research design, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis from academic leaders, administrators, and faculty members. The findings reveal that ethical leadership manifests in several key dimensions, including integrity and transparency, justice and fairness, spiritual and moral role modeling, accountability and stewardship, and community engagement. These dimensions significantly contribute to building trust, fostering collaboration, integrating academic and spiritual values, and strengthening institutional legitimacy. However, challenges such as limited financial resources, resistance to reforms, and pressures from globalization and government policies remain obstacles to implementation. The study concludes that ethical leadership serves as a fundamental driver of sustainable organizational culture in Islamic higher education. By embedding Islamic ethical principles into governance and institutional practices, leaders can balance global academic demands with faith-based commitments, ensuring both resilience and credibility.
