Implementation of QIS (Qasiimatun) as A Secure Educational and Governance-based Cashless Transaction System in The Madrasah Environment
type: item
description: Technological advancements in education have encouraged madrasahs to adopt management systems that are safer, more organized, and educationally oriented. Previous studies on cashless systems in educational institutions have mainly focused on transaction efficiency and digital payment technology, while limited attention has been given to their role in institutional governance, character education, and environmental management at the primary madrasah level. At MI Al-Islamiyah, conventional cash-based canteen transactions created managerial challenges, including limited supervision of students’ spending behavior, unhealthy food sales, and increasing plastic waste. Therefore, this study aims to describe the implementation of QIS as a cashless transaction system in supporting security, transparency, student character development, and canteen governance. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach using observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that QIS improves transaction security and transparency, promotes discipline and financial awareness among students, and strengthens institutional supervision of student activities. In addition, QIS supports healthier and more environmentally friendly canteen management through the reduction of unhealthy packaged products and single-use plastic waste. These findings indicate that context-adaptive cashless systems can function not only as payment mechanisms but also as governance instruments that support environmental management and character education in madrasahs.

Autonomy, Participation, and Transparency in SBM Significantly Enhance Teacher Performance: A Multiple Linear Regression Analysis
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze and measure the partial and simultaneous effects of autonomy (X1), participation (X2), and transparency (X3) in School-Based Management (SBM) on teacher performance (Y) at SD Al-Irhaam, Bandung. A quantitative approach utilizing descriptive and verification methods was adopted. Data collection was carried out by distributing closed questionnaires to 28 teachers as census respondents. Ordinal data gathered from the Likert scale were transformed into interval data using the Method of Successive Interval (MSI) prior to multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that partially, autonomy (t = 2.714; p < 0.05), participation (t = 2.408; p < 0.05), and transparency (t = 4.400; p < 0.05) have positive and significant effects on teacher performance. Simultaneously, these three variables exert a significant influence (F = 30.116; p < 0.05) with a coefficient of determination (R^2) of 79.0%. These findings suggest that strengthening independent, participatory, and accountable school governance is an absolute prerequisite for advancing professionalism and instructional effectiveness among teachers in private Islamic educational institutions.

Evaluation of Adiwiyata Program Management Based on Khalifah Fil Ardh Using The CSE-UCLA Model
type: item
description: MAN 2 Sleman has revived the Adiwiyata Program following a significant decline in both physical and managerial aspects. The researcher used the CSE-UCLA model to evaluate the implementation of the Adiwiyata Program in stages. Data were obtained through observations, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis utilized the model developed Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which involves data condensation, data presentation, and conclusions. This study concluded that the management of the Adiwiyata Program at MAN 2 Sleman has been implemented, although it has not yet fully aligned with the plan. The researchers concluded the madrasah has implemented the Adiwiyata Program and applied the concept of khalifah fil ardhl. Furthermore, the summative evaluation phase, it was found the main obstacle was the suboptimal mapping of tasks. This is due to the accreditation tasks which have prevented the Adiwiyata Program from running optimally. These findings have implications for madrasah policies, which are deemed in need improvement regarding the division of responsibilities so that the Adiwiyata Program can run effectively. So, concept of khalifah fil ardh is not only reflected in students’ behavior specifically, their sense of responsibility toward the environment but is also embodied in institutional governance that is oriented toward environmental conservation and sustainability.

Work-based Learning for Pesantren Economic Development: Evidence from The Idrisiyyah Umrah and Hajj Travel Unit
type: item
description: This research aims to examine the Work-Based Learning (WBL) model as an instrument for developing economic independence in the Idrisiyyah Islamic Pesantren through its Umrah and Hajj Travel business unit. The study is motivated by the need for modern pesantren to achieve professional, sharia-compliant financial sustainability while functioning as vocational learning laboratories. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, this research gathers data from final-year students, alumni, and managers acting as mentors through literature studies, institutional documentation, and direct field observations. The results demonstrate that approximately 35–45% of final-year students are actively engaged in operational activities, including administration, customer service, ritual guidance, and departure coordination. This hands-on involvement significantly enhances students' competencies across three main dimensions: technical (travel procedures), social (communication), and spiritual (Islamic service ethics). Furthermore, integrating WBL improves service professionalism via standardized SOPs, strengthens congregational trust, and expands digital marketing reach. The travel unit also generates job opportunities for alumni and provides internal competency recognition for the participating students. This study concludes that the travel business unit functions not only as a revenue source for the pesantren but also as a structured, sustainable work-based vocational education system that effectively integrates economic functions with traditional religious education.

Adaptive Leadership in Student Organizations: Cultivating Moral Spirit in an Islamic Boarding School
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the practice of adaptive leadership in the organization of students of the Nurul Ummahat Islamic Boarding School and its contribution to the formation of student behavior and morals. Adaptive leadership is seen as a relevant approach in responding to the increasingly heterogeneous and critical dynamics of students in the midst of rapid social change. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with student organization leaders (A1), student organization administrators (A2), and non-management students (A3), then analyzed using source triangulation techniques to maintain the credibility of the data. Uniquely, this leadership partice is not merely organizational or managerial, but is deeply rooted in pesantren values and influenced by the moral authority of the Kyai, which shapes leadership as a medium for internalizing islamic moral values among students. This integration distinguishes adaptive leadership in pesantren from general organizational contexts. The results of the study show that adaptive leadership in student organizations is realized through a personal approach, deliberation, moral example, and openness in decision-making. This practice has a positive impact on improving discipline, collective responsibility, and the formation of a collaborative organizational culture rooted in pesantren values.

Change Management and Student Admission Management in State Islamic Senior High Schools in Garut Regency
type: item
description: Organizational change has become an essential requirement for educational institutions seeking to maintain service quality amid technological advancement and growing public expectations. This study examined the relationship between change management and student admission management in State Islamic Senior High Schools with Skills Programs (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Plus Keterampilan) in Garut Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative approach employing a descriptive correlational design was adopted. The sample consisted of 116 teachers and administrative personnel selected using the Slovin sampling formula. Data were collected through a validated and reliable five-point Likert questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, assumption testing, Pearson product–moment correlation, and the coefficient of determination. The findings revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between change management and student admission management (p < .05), with a correlation coefficient of r = .647, indicating a strong association. The coefficient of determination (R² = .419) showed that change management explained 41.9% of the variance in student admission management, while the remaining 58.1% was influenced by other factors beyond this study. These findings demonstrate that effective change management strengthens the effectiveness of student admission management and supports organizational adaptability in Islamic secondary education.

Islamic Value-Based Reward and Punishment System Implementation in Enhancing Work Motivation in an Islamic Educational Foundation
type: item
description: This study aims to describe the implementation of a reward and punishment system and its implications for employee work motivation at the Ar-Rifqi Educational Foundation, Bandung City, from the perspective of Islamic Education Management. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving foundation leaders, school unit heads, teachers, and educational staff (n = 13). Data analysis followed the interactive model data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing supported by source and technique triangulation. Findings reveal that the reward and punishment system is implemented gradually, transparently, and grounded in Islamic values such as justice (al-'adl), trustworthiness (amanah), and ethical conduct (adab). Rewards are provided in financial and non-financial forms, while punishments are applied through persuasive and educational approaches. The system contributes to improving employee discipline, responsibility, and work motivation (lateness decreased 68%, perfect attendance increased 83%, work motivation survey increased 28%). Communicative leadership and a religious work culture support implementation, whereas budget constraints and subjective performance assessment act as inhibiting factors. The study confirms that a reward and punishment system grounded in Islamic values can foster a professional and humanistic work culture in Islamic educational institutions.

Implementation of Educational Facilities and Infrastructure Standards in Public Islamic Junior High Schools: A Case Study
type: item
description: Educational facilities and infrastructure play a vital role in supporting learning and improving educational quality. Although the government has established standards, their implementation in schools still faces challenges related to the availability, adequacy, and utilization of facilities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of educational facilities and infrastructure standards at MTs Negeri 1 Magelang and their contribution to learning quality. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving the principal, vice principal for facilities and infrastructure, teachers, and educational support staff. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that most facilities and infrastructure comply with the standards stipulated in Ministry of Education Regulation No. 24 of 2007, including classrooms, science laboratories, libraries, health rooms, places of worship, administrative offices, and sports facilities. These facilities contribute to a comfortable learning environment, effective practical activities, and a conducive educational atmosphere. However, improvements are still needed in updating practical equipment, enhancing arts facilities, and increasing maintenance funding to sustain the quality of educational services.

Integrated Theological Curriculum Successfully Counters Techno-Pragmatism in Global Education
type: item
description: Islamic education in the global era faces systemic challenges from educational techno-pragmatism, digital disruption, and ethical crises. This study analyzes the role of integrated theological curriculum in contesting these challenges to foster civilized human beings. Utilizing a qualitative library research method with a descriptive-analytical design, this study examines peer-reviewed literature published between 2019 and 2026. The analysis demonstrates that an integrated theological curriculum successfully counters global techno-pragmatism by restructuring educational orientations ontologically, epistemologically, and axiologically. It systematically operationalizes five dimensions of a civilized human being: spiritual, moral, intellectual, socio-civilizational, and cultural-digital. Furthermore, this study formulates concrete managerial implications for Islamic educational institutions, which encompass restructuring integrated curricula, recruiting value-driven educators, implementing reflective pedagogy, deploying authentic character-based assessments, and cultivating a tawhid-based institutional culture. The findings emphasize that bridging technical management with divine orientations is critical to eliminating academic dichotomy. In conclusion, revitalizing theological values systematically is a fundamental necessity for Islamic educational institutions to produce globally competent graduates without compromising their spiritual and moral identity.

Talent Mapping in Fun English for Differentiated Learning at Islamic Schools
type: item
description: This study examines how structured talent mapping can support the implementation of differentiated English learning through Fun English activities at the elementary school level. Although Fun English programs are widely used to create engaging learning environments, their implementation is often conducted uniformly and does not fully consider students’ diverse talents and learning characteristics. This study aims to identify teachers’ strategies in recognizing students’ potential talents through Fun English activities and to analyze how such identification contributes to improving the quality of English learning. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted in an Islamic elementary school. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with the school principal and English teacher, and analysis of instructional documents. The findings reveal that talent identification is generally carried out informally and is not systematically documented, resulting in relatively homogeneous learning activities. Consequently, students’ participation and confidence in using English develop unevenly. These findings highlight the importance of integrating structured talent mapping to promote more differentiated, inclusive, and student-centered English learning in Islamic elementary education.
