Digital-Based Education in the Era of Society 5.0: Synergy of Digital Literacy and Learning Motivation to Improve Student Learning Outcomes
This study examines the relationship and combined influence of digital literacy and learning motivation on the academic performance of Islamic Education Management (MPI) students in two until six semesters during the Society 5.0 era. Using a quantitative correlational and multiple regression design, 98 students were selected as samples. Instruments included a digital literacy questionnaire covering eight dimensions of competence and a learning motivation questionnaire adapted from the MSLQ. Learning outcomes were measured by students’ Grade Point Average (GPA). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression with SmartPLS 4.0. The findings reveal that (1) digital literacy has a positive and significant relationship with learning outcomes; (2) learning motivation also positively and significantly correlates with learning outcomes; and (3) both variables jointly exert a significant effect on students’ learning outcomes. The R-square value indicates that digital literacy and motivation together make a substantial contribution in explaining variations in academic achievement. The study concludes that synergy between digital competence and strong learning motivation is crucial in digital-based education to enhance MPI students’ performance. Practically, it underscores the need for integrated programs that strengthen digital literacy and foster intrinsic motivation among students.

The Policy of Decentralization of Islamic Religious Education in Madrasah Tsanawiyah: A Systematic Literature Review
This study discusses the problem of implementing the Decentralization of education in Indonesia, which is often hampered by the lack of attention from regional heads to education. This study aims to analyze the impact of the decentralization of education on the quality of education in Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) and to understand the challenges its implementation faces. The method used was a systematic literature review, which collected data from 20 relevant articles from 2020 to 2024, taken from the Google Scholar database. The study results show that the Decentralization of education provides autonomy to local governments and schools to manage education according to local needs. However, there is still a disparity in the quality of education between regions due to differences in budget and infrastructure. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of political commitment from regional heads, capacity building of human resources, and collaboration between central and regional governments to achieve the goal of more equitable and quality education. The study also recommends stricter supervision and community participation in educational decision-making to reduce inequalities.

Determinants Of Graduate Quality: Entrepreneurial Competence, Religious Culture, And Pedagogical Competence In Madrasah
This research aims to analyse and demonstrate the influence of entrepreneurial competence, religious culture, and pedagogical competence on graduate quality, as well as to describe an implementation model based on interview results. Employing a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design, this study involved State Madrasah Aliyah teachers in eight cities/regencies of Banten Province, Indonesia. A sample of 349 teachers was selected through proportional stratified random sampling. The results indicate that the entrepreneurial competence of Madrasah Principals (X1), religious culture (X2), and pedagogical competence (X3) significantly and simultaneously influence graduate quality (Y), with a p-value of .000 (p < .05). The R-squared value of 0.844 suggests that 84.4% of the variance in graduate quality can be explained by these three independent variables. Among these, pedagogical competence (X3) exhibits the strongest and most significant influence on graduate quality, as indicated by its t-value. To optimize the influence of these variables, the study recommends a transformational leadership approach to foster synergy between entrepreneurial leadership, religious culture, and teacher pedagogy. This approach can facilitate the development of innovative programs and policies that create meaningful learning experiences, ultimately producing graduates who are not only academically proficient and spiritually grounded, but also possess strong character and relevant skills to meet societal needs.

Integration Of Islamic Values And Modern Theories In Educational Management
The integration of Islamic values and modern management theories in educational management represents a strategic response to the challenges of contemporary education. Islamic values such as trust (amanah), honesty, justice, responsibility, and deliberation provide strong ethical foundations that can synergize with modern management principles, including efficiency, effectiveness, transformational leadership, Total Quality Management (TQM), and data-driven decision-making. This integration enables the development of an educational management system that not only emphasizes academic excellence, but also prioritizes character formation, moral integrity, and spiritual development. This study employs a qualitative approach through library research, using content analysis of relevant academic literature, scientific journals, books, and policy documents related to Islamic education management and modern management theory. The analysis focuses on synthesizing key management concepts such as POAC (Planning, Organizing, Mobilizing, and Controlling) with core Islamic values to construct a holistic and value-based management framework. The findings indicate that the integration of Islamic values with modern management theories can strengthen institutional governance, enhance leadership effectiveness, and support sustainable quality improvement in educational institutions. This conceptual study contributes to the development of an integrative educational management perspective that balances spirituality, ethics, and modern organizational effectiveness, while providing a theoretical foundation for future empirical research in Islamic education management.

Repositioning MPI within the Islamic Higher Education Landscape: Strategic Policies and Curriculum Responsiveness for Graduate Employability
This study explores the repositioning of the Islamic Education Management (MPI) study program within the landscape of Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKI), through a strategic review of national policies and curriculum responsiveness to labor market demands. This study aims to provide strategic recommendations for aligning MPI curricula and quality management practices with labor market needs in order to enhance graduate employability. Despite the MPI curriculum having been developed based on the Indonesian National Qualification Framework (KKNI) and Learning Outcomes (CPL), tracer studies consistently show low graduate absorption in relevant managerial and educational roles. At the same time, DIKTIS policies, such as the PTKI Curriculum Guide and KMA No. 347/2022, provide normative directions for quality improvement but are hindered by structural and cultural barriers at the program level. This study employs a literature review and institutional policy analysis using official documents and empirical data from several PTKIN campuses. The findings indicate the need to shift from an administrative approach toward outcome-based quality management and intersectoral collaboration. Repositioning MPI requires adaptive curricula, strong engagement with industry, and a more strategic role for DIKTIS as a policy facilitator.

CIPP-Based Analysis of Industrial Work Practice Effectiveness at a Private Vocational High School
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Industrial Work Practice Program (Prakerin) at Private Vocational High School (SMKS) TI Muhammadiyah 11 Sibuluan using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. The gap between vocational school graduates’ skills and industry needs remains a significant challenge for vocational education in Indonesia, while most previous studies have focused only on implementation issues without offering a comprehensive evaluation framework that addresses each school’s unique context. Employing a qualitative, evaluative approach, this research collected data through participant observation, in-depth interviews with 15 informants (including the principal, supervising teachers, industry partners, and students), and document analysis. Data validity was ensured by source and method triangulation, member checking, and peer debriefing. The findings reveal that the Prakerin program is effective in enhancing students’ technical competencies, supported by a strategic location, dual-supervision system, intensive monitoring, and comprehensive preparatory training. However, the development of soft skills—particularly leadership and initiative—remains suboptimal and requires further improvement. The implementation of a self-funding model through government grants (BOS) demonstrates strong institutional commitment and removes economic barriers for students. This study affirms the validity and relevance of the CIPP model in evaluating industrial work practice programs and provides recommendations for a more structured soft skills development strategy, as well as the innovation of sustainable industry partnership models. The novelty of this research lies in its application of a multidimensional analysis that integrates contextual, input, process, and outcome factors within the specific setting of a vocational secondary school.

Integrating Character Education into Religious Practices: The Management of Jumat Berkah and Bhakti Sosial Programs
This study explores the optimization of the Jumat Berkah (Blessed Friday) and Bhakti Sosial (Social Service) programs as strategic initiatives for managing religious activities at SMP Al Furqon Jember (Junior High School). Recognizing that religious activities should serve not only as rituals but also as transformative and educational efforts in character development, the research adopts a qualitative case study design. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and examined using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings demonstrate that program implementation follows three strategic stages: value-oriented planning, participatory execution, and reflective evaluation. These programs actively engage students in each phase, cultivating empathy, social responsibility, and spiritual consciousness. The novelty of this study lies in its development of a contextual, collaborative, and reflective model of religious activity management, which integrates character education into religious practice through experiential learning. Departing from traditional top-down and ceremonial approaches, this model positions students as central agents of value internalization and transformation. The study affirms that the Jumat Berkah and Bhakti Sosial programs function as a living curriculum—merging spirituality, character formation, and educational management into a cohesive and sustainable framework.

Fixed Asset Management of Pondok Pesantren: Practices, Practitioners, and Praxis
This study investigates fixed asset management practices in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) through the lens of strategy-as-practice theory, with particular attention to the dimensions of practice, practitioner, and praxis. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research explores two contrasting pesantren: Pondok Tahfizh Daarul Qur’an (modern typology) and Pondok Pesantren BUQ (traditional salaf typology). Data were collected through in-depth interviews, institutional document analysis, and NVivo-assisted thematic coding. The findings reveal distinct patterns of asset ownership, regulation, maintenance, and reporting. Daarul Qur’an demonstrates formalized asset management mechanisms under foundation governance, though hindered by limited human resource competencies and procedural inconsistencies. In contrast, BUQ maintains a highly personalized, non-bureaucratic model rooted in kiai leadership, with minimal documentation and planning. The praxis of asset management is shaped not only by structural governance but also by the interplay of pesantren culture, practitioner agency, and socio-religious values. This study offers empirical insights into the organizational behaviors that facilitate or impede strategic asset management in Islamic education contexts. Limitations include the narrow case scope and typological selection, suggesting the need for future research across broader pesantren variants. Recommendations include the development of culturally grounded yet standardized asset management guidelines and capacity-building initiatives to professionalize resource governance in pesantren settings.

Harnessing Local Potential in Dusun Bengkung for STEAM Education: A Case Study Of Literacy Advancement at TBM Pelopor Literasi Dusunku
This study explores the potential of Dusun Bengkung's local resources to develop Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM)-based educational activities aimed at enhancing literacy and creativity among school-aged children. Employing a qualitative case study methodology, data were gathered through focus group discussions (FGDs) involving 15 community stakeholders and document analysis. The findings reveal three key local potentials: (1) strong social collaboration rooted in the village's cultural traditions, (2) abundant natural resources such as bamboo, rice, and fishponds, and (3) a substantial demographic of school-aged children eager for creative engagement. STEAM activities tailored to these local resources included bamboo-based string art, water filtration techniques, and natural dyeing using local plants. The Taman Bacaan Masyarakat (Community Reading Center) Pelopor Literasi Dusunku and its associated Rumah Belajar (Learning House) served as central hubs for facilitating these activities, supported by thematic community service programs and literacy initiatives aligned with the National Literacy Movement. The study highlights the impact of integrating local wisdom into STEAM education to foster literacy, creativity, and cultural sustainability. However, its focus on a single rural community limits generalizability. Future research should investigate the scalability of such models across diverse cultural and ecological contexts. Additionally, integrating digital tools into these localized frameworks offers opportunities for advancing digital literacy in rural education.

Challenges and Strategies for Human Resource Development in Islamic Education: A Case Study of MAN 1 Lamongan
This study explores the implementation of human resource development (HRD) at MAN 1 Lamongan using a qualitative case study approach. The research aims to describe how both internal and external strategies are employed to enhance the competencies of educators and educational staff. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, comprising data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that MAN 1 Lamongan adopts a dual HRD strategy. Internally, the institution organizes regular training programs, workshops, and seminars at least twice a year. Externally, it facilitates staff participation in training activities provided by external organizations, such as MGMP forums and specialized professional courses. Each initiative is preceded by a needs analysis and followed by implementation and evaluation phases. The institution integrates both on-the-job and off-the-job training methods to improve pedagogical, managerial, and technical competencies. This comprehensive and continuous professional development approach is aligned with institutional goals and the evolving needs of educators. The study offers practical insights for Islamic educational institutions in designing effective HRD frameworks. However, as the research focuses on a single institution, its findings may have limited generalizability. Future studies involving multiple madrasas are recommended to validate and expand the applicability of the proposed model in diverse educational contexts.

The Impact of Full Day School Policy in Indonesia: A Juridical Analysis of Teacher Welfare and Children's Rights
This research conducts a juridical analysis of the Full Day School (FDS) policy in Indonesia, focusing on its impact on teacher welfare and children's rights. The primary objective is to evaluate how the policy aligns with legal frameworks such as Law Number 14 of 2005 on Teachers and Lecturers and Law Number 35 of 2014 on Child Protection. This study utilizes an analysis of specific legal documents and policy regulations, including Ministerial Regulation Number 23 of 2017 on School Days and Presidential Regulation Number 87 of 2017 on Strengthening Character Education. The findings indicate that the policy’s extended school hours may infringe upon children’s rights to rest and play, as guaranteed under Law Number 35 of 2014, and exacerbate teacher workloads, potentially conflicting with labour rights under Law Number 13 of 2003. Teachers report heightened stress and reduced work-life balance, while students face mental fatigue and diminished extracurricular opportunities. To comply with legal mandates and international conventions such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), the policy must be revised to balance instructional goals with the well-being of both educators and learners. Recommendations include reducing school hours, ensuring adequate rest periods, and aligning the policy with legal and international standards. Further exploration of the policy's long-term legal and social implications is essential for sustainable educational reform.

Optimizing Financial Management: Looking at the Story Behind the Saving Passion of Padangsidempuan City High School Students
The cultivation of true character starts from an early age in children, until they continue into adulthood. Character education is carried out in some ways, one of way is financial education through savings activities at school, either independently through the class treasurer or directly with the bank that comes to school. This research took place from March - May 2023 at eight high schools in the city of Padangsidempuan, which aims to know financial education and its impact on character building, involving students and teachers as the main informants, using the case study method through interviews and direct observation at schools. The results of the research found that (1) financial education is carried out in three ways, namely saving through class cash, saving through the bank, and saving independently at home using a piggy bank, (2) since Covid-19 there are no more banks coming to schools to quote savings to students who want to save, (3) students' low interest in saving, (4) most high school schools in the city of Padangsidempuan do not accommodate financial education through class cash savings activities. The low interest in saving money at high schools in the city of Padangsidempuan is caused by several things, such as the low or underprivileged economic conditions of students' families.

A Competency-Based Analysis of Human Resource Development among Educators at Salafiyah Islamic Boarding Schools
This study critically analyzes the implementation of competency-based human resource development (HRD) practices among educators (asatidzah) in Salafiyah Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Indonesia’s Riau Islands. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were obtained through interviews, participant observations, document analysis, and focus group discussions across three pesantren. The analysis reveals persistent gaps in pedagogical, social, personal, and professional competencies despite the educators’ strong foundation in religious knowledge. HRD initiatives are found to be fragmented, lacking systematic planning, evaluation mechanisms, and alignment with contemporary educational standards. These findings indicate an urgent need for structured, contextually relevant HRD strategies that are both sustainable and responsive to the dual imperatives of Islamic education and modern pedagogical demands. This study contributes to the discourse on educational capacity building in Islamic institutions and calls for future research using mixed-method or longitudinal approaches to examine the systemic effects of competency-based HRD interventions.

This research provides an in-depth examination of the 7P marketing mix strategy within Phatnawitya School, an Islamic institution catering to a minority Muslim community in a predominantly Buddhist region of Southern Thailand. Utilizing a qualitative methodology with a descriptive approach, the study explores the school's application of the 7P framework, focusing on the creation of well-rounded individuals and the establishment of a strong community presence.

Exploring the Dynamics of Job Performance and Job Satisfaction on Work Effectiveness: A Study at BPMP Yogyakarta During COVID-19
This study investigates the impact of job performance and job satisfaction on employee work effectiveness at the Yogyakarta Special Region Education Quality Assurance Institute amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Addressing the novel challenges posed by the work-from-home policy, the research aims to elucidate the direct influence of these variables in a transformed work environment. Utilizing a stratified random sampling method based on Slovin's formula, the study engaged 82 employees from BPMP Yogyakarta, employing bivariate correlation and double linear regression analysis. The results revealed a strong positive correlation between job performance and work effectiveness (Pearson Correlation: 0.883), with job performance and satisfaction collectively accounting for 82.7% of work effectiveness (R Square: 0.827). These findings highlight the critical role of job performance and satisfaction in enhancing work effectiveness, especially under pandemic-induced remote working conditions. However, the study's context-specific nature and reliance on self-reported measures suggest caution in generalization. The study's implications are significant for human resource strategies in similar institutions, advocating the need for adaptable and resilient work environments in challenging times. Future research should extend these findings to various organizational contexts and explore the long-term implications of remote working on these variables.
