Nadia Putri Cantika — 2026-07-04

The implementation of national education policies at the school level often encounters challenges due to differences in institutional capacity, infrastructure availability, and local educational contexts. This study aims to analyze the integration of national education policies with educational practices at MI Al Hidayah II Kota Kediri using four key indicators: quality, quantity, effectiveness, and efficiency. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through field observations, informal interviews, and document analysis of national education policies such as the National Education Standards and the Merdeka Curriculum. The findings reveal that in terms of quality, the school has implemented the Merdeka Curriculum and achieved several non-academic accomplishments, although facilities remain limited, including the absence of a library, suboptimal classrooms, and limited learning media. In terms of quantity, the school operates one study group with 75 students across six grade levels and collaborates with the Ar-Risalah Orphanage to improve access to education. In terms of effectiveness, student and teacher attendance is well maintained, flagship programs such as dhuha prayer and BTQ are consistently implemented, and a substitute teacher system is applied when teachers are absent. In terms of efficiency, the school optimizes its limited resources through external partnerships, particularly with the local health center and orphanage. This study concludes that the integration of national education policies has been implemented sufficiently well. The findings contribute to providing empirical insights into how Islamic elementary schools adapt national education policies within resource-limited contexts and may serve as a practical reference for policymakers and school managers in strengthening policy implementation at the primary education level.

Integrating Islamic Values and Technology into Facilities and Infrastructure Management in Pesantren

Segaf Baharun — 2026-08-09

Management of facilities and infrastructure in Islamic boarding schools is a crucial factor in supporting the quality of education, but academic studies in this area are still limited. This study aims to analyze the implementation of facility and infrastructure management at Pesantren Darullughah Wadda’wah based on Islamic values, describe its management cycle, identify challenges and opportunities, and formulate an integrated management model. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. The results show that Pesantren Darullughah Wadda’wah has internalized Islamic values (amanah, ikhlas, efficiency, anti-israf, and maslahah) in the management of facilities and infrastructure. The management cycle includes six continuous stages: planning through annual deliberations, procurement based on the best specifications, distribution, use with an orderly schedule, preventive and educational maintenance involving students, and disposal of assets through transparent and documented procedures. Challenges faced include limited competent human resources, a suboptimal documentation system, tensions between tradition and modernization, and demands for environmental sustainability. Available opportunities include the adoption of information technology, strategic partnerships with the government and corporations, and the development of a green Islamic boarding school model. This study proposes a Values-Based and Technology-Based Infrastructure Management (MSPBNT) model supported by three pillars: integration of Islamic values, a structured management system, and adoption of information technology. This model is expected to serve as a reference for Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in managing facilities and infrastructure effectively, efficiently, accountably, and in an educational and Islamic manner.

Integrating Religious Moderation into School Financial Governance: Accountability and Distributive Justice in Indonesia's BOS Program

Ahmad Misbah — 2026-10-16

Financial accountability and distributive justice remain important challenges in Indonesia's School Operational Assistance (BOS) program, particularly regarding institutional transparency, resource allocation, and stakeholder participation. This study examines accountability challenges in BOS management, explores equity considerations in educational financing, and develops a conceptual framework integrating religious moderation values into school financial governance. Employing an Integrative Literature Review (ILR), the study synthesizes empirical and conceptual literature on educational financial management, distributive justice, religious moderation, and ethical governance through thematic analysis. The synthesis identifies three interconnected dimensions: the need to strengthen procedural accountability, informational transparency, and participatory oversight; the importance of allocative, utilization, and procedural equity in educational financing; and the potential relevance of religious moderation principles to ethical financial decision-making. Building on these insights, the study proposes a Value-Based BOS Governance Framework integrating technical governance mechanisms with tasamuh (tolerance), tawazun (balance), and i‘tidal (justice). These principles are conceptually linked to inclusive stakeholder participation, proportional budget prioritization, and equitable resource allocation. The framework contributes to educational governance literature by translating religious moderation values into proposed institutional financial management practices. However, its effectiveness remains subject to empirical validation across different educational contexts.

Information Literacy Management for Improving the Quality of Islamic Higher Education: An Integrative Literature Review

Barlian Fajri — 2026-10-21

The growing complexity of digital information environments has increased the importance of information literacy in higher education. However, information literacy initiatives are frequently implemented as isolated library services rather than integrated components of institutional quality management. This study aims to examine the position of information literacy within quality management, synthesize institutional strategies for its development, and propose an integrated management framework for Islamic higher education. Employing an integrative literature review guided by Whittemore and Knafl's methodological framework, the study analyzes literature concerning information literacy competencies, institutional governance, academic collaboration, curriculum integration, and educational quality. The synthesis identifies three interconnected dimensions of information literacy: competency development, institutional management, and academic quality improvement. It further highlights four interdependent management functions—planning, organizing, implementation, and evaluation—as essential processes for coordinating information literacy initiatives. Drawing on these findings, the study proposes an Integrated Information Literacy Management Framework comprising five components: institutional governance, collaborative management, instructional integration, information literacy competencies, and academic quality outcomes. The framework incorporates institutional feedback mechanisms and recognizes digital infrastructure, professional development, and institutional context as enabling conditions. This study contributes to Islamic educational management by conceptualizing information literacy as a shared institutional responsibility rather than an exclusively library-based activity. The proposed framework provides a theoretical foundation for integrating information literacy into academic governance, curriculum development, and continuous quality improvement, while requiring further empirical validation.
