Madrasah Vision Management Strategy in Realizing Superior Educational Quality
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the strategy of managing the madrasah vision in realizing superior educational quality in Islamic Junior High Schools (MTs), including participatory vision formulation, socialization and internalization strategies, implementation in learning, programs, and madrasah culture, as well as evaluation and efforts to strengthen the implementation of the vision. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design, collecting data through in-depth interviews with the madrasah principal, teachers, and students, as well as field observations of learning activities and madrasah culture, then analyzed interactively using the Miles and Huberman model. The results of the study indicate that the madrasah vision is formulated in a participatory manner so as to foster a sense of ownership and shared commitment; socialization and internalization are carried out continuously through formal forums, leadership role models, habits, and visual media so that the vision is realized in behavior and work culture; implementation of the vision is reflected in learning that integrates Islamic values, programs, and madrasah culture that supports character building and student achievement; evaluation is carried out systematically through academic supervision, evaluation meetings, and teacher performance assessments despite facing challenges such as differences in teacher understanding, limited facilities, and administrative burdens. The implications of the research show that strategic and sustainable vision management plays an important role in improving the quality of Islamic education and can be a practical reference for madrasas in developing educational management that is oriented towards academic excellence while strengthening Islamic values.

Exploring Local Wisdom-Based Islamic Boarding School Management: Improving Graduate Quality In An Institutional Oligopsony
type: item
description: This research is motivated by the dynamics of Islamic boarding school management amidst demands for improving graduate quality and increasingly complex institutional competition, including the emergence of institutional oligopsony patterns in alumni absorption. In this context, Islamic boarding school management based on local wisdom becomes an important strategy to maintain the identity, sustainability of the institution, and quality of graduates. This study aims to analyze the role of local wisdom as the foundation of Islamic boarding school management, examine the contribution of local wisdom-based management strategies to graduate quality, and examine the influence of institutional oligopsony on graduate orientation and competitiveness. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation techniques, which are analyzed thematically and interpretively. The results show that local wisdom functions as a core value that guides management practices, decision-making, and human resource development. Local wisdom-based management strategies have been proven to contribute significantly to the formation of graduate quality, especially in aspects of character, work ethic, institutional loyalty, leadership, and social adaptability. Furthermore, the findings reveal that institutional oligopsony shapes graduate orientation that tends to focus on service within internal networks, while simultaneously encouraging Islamic boarding schools to strengthen graduate competitiveness through the integration of values and competencies. The contribution of this research lies in enriching the perspective of Islamic education management by placing local wisdom and institutional structure as strategic factors in improving the quality of graduates.

Students' Mental Health: The Urgency of Pedagogical Interventions and Nurturing Learning Environment Design
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the urgency of pedagogical interventions and the design of a nurturing learning environment in strengthening students’ mental health in secondary schools. The increasing phenomenon of psychosocial disorders such as stress, anxiety, and academic burnout demands an educational approach that is not only cognitive, but also affective and emotional. This study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory case study design conducted in two secondary schools that have implemented a student well-being-based learning approach. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, which are analysed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results of the study show three main findings: (1) the role of teachers as emotional mediators contributes significantly to creating a healthy psychological climate, (2) the design of a nurturing learning environment increases students’ emotional resilience, and (3) there is a lack of integration between formal school policies and pedagogical practices on mental health issues. The implications of this study indicate the need for educational policy reform that integrates socio-emotional aspects systematically in the curriculum, teacher training, and indicators of learning success. This study recommends strengthening teacher capacity in socio-emotional competencies and developing a more inclusive, ecosystem-based education model that emphasises emotional well-being.

Cultivating Affective Competence through Innovative Approaches in Islamic Religious Education
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the implementation of an innovative approach in Islamic religious education learning as a strategy to foster students' affective competence. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation of student activities. The results of the study indicate that innovative approaches such as project-based learning, reflection through digital media, and social case discussions are effective in fostering values such as empathy, honesty, responsibility, and social awareness in students. The role of teachers as value facilitators greatly influences the success of affective internalization, which is also reflected in increased student participation in social and worship activities. Documentation shows a real behavioral transformation in the school environment. This study provides a theoretical implication to the development of experience-based and contextual affective education, as well as being a practical reference for Islamic religious education teachers in designing learning strategies that touch the emotional realm of students. In addition, this study expands the discourse on character education in the context of vocational schools, which has so far been under-touched in similar research.

Religious Character Foundation In Independent Curriculum: The Strategic Role Of Islamic Religious Education In Schools
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the strategic role of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) in shaping students' religious character through the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at the elementary school level. The main focus lies in how religious values are instilled, internalized, and manifested in students’ daily behavior through contextual IRE teaching, religious school programs, and the exemplary conduct of teachers. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with case studies. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students’ religious character development is supported by a synergy between practical IRE learning, daily religious routines, and a school culture that reinforces spiritual values. IRE teachers play a central role in embedding values of faith, morality, and tolerance. The implications highlight the urgency of developing a curriculum that integrates cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions, offering a foundation for constructing a contextual and adaptive model of religious character education in the era of the Merdeka Curriculum.

The Role of Transformational Leadership in Intellectual Stimulation of The Curriculum In Educational Institutions
type: item
description: This study examines the role of transformational leadership in stimulating teachers' intellectuality in curriculum development in Islamic educational institutions, especially in SMA Nurul Jadid. The main focus of this study is how the principal as a leader can build a culture of critical, reflective, and innovative thinking through participatory and visionary leadership strategies. This study uses an approach where the results of the study show that the role of the principal is very influential in creating a learning ecosystem that encourages teachers to be actively involved in curriculum development. Three main findings that support the intellectual stimulation process are: a culture of criticism and reflection that is systematically facilitated, a curriculum mentoring program between teachers that strengthens professional collaboration, and the provision of access to information that supports knowledge renewal. These three aspects show that transformational leadership is symbolic and has practical implications in improving the quality of the curriculum based on values and the needs of the times. This study makes an important contribution to the development of leadership theory in Islamic education and recommends strengthening leadership capacity based on continuous learning

Teams Games Tournament Learning Model; Efforts in Improving Students' Way of Thinking
type: item
description: The aims of this study was to explore the effectiveness of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) learning model in increasing students' cognitive engagement and reducing boredom during classroom learning. Using the Classroom Action Research (CAR) methodology, this study involved 24 female students from class VIII B Regular. Data collection used pre-test and post-test assessments to evaluate learning progress. The intervention followed four procedural stages: planning, action implementation, observation/evaluation, and reflection. Initial findings revealed suboptimal student performance, with only 8.3% achieving the learning mastery standard (mean score: 56.91). After implementing the TGT model in the second cycle, significant improvements were observed. The students' average score increased to 80.25, and 70.83% of students met the learning mastery threshold. These results demonstrate the capacity of the TGT model to stimulate active student participation, encourage cooperative learning, and improve critical thinking skills. This study underscores the importance of implementing a student-centered pedagogical approach to maximize educational outcomes and engagement, especially in a complex subject such as Tajwid Science. This study provides valuable insights for educators seeking to develop interactive and inclusive classroom environments. While the results are promising, further research is recommended to examine the adaptability of the TGT model across different subject areas and student demographics.

Fostering Student Creativity through Discovery Learning: A Study on Islamic Religious Education in Elementary Schools
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the application of the Discovery Learning method in islamic religious education learning and its impact on improving student creativity. The background of this study is based on the need to overcome boredom in religious learning which is monotonous and less interactive.

The Role of Reward and Punishment Strategies in Enhancing Student Learning Motivation: A Pedagogical Perspective
type: item
description: This study aims to explore how reward and punishment strategies influence student learning motivation within the context of an Islamic boarding school. The research seeks to understand the pedagogical impact of these strategies in promoting academic engagement and character formation. Utilizing a qualitative case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with school leaders, teachers, and students, participant observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that verbal praise and symbolic non-material rewards significantly enhance students' intrinsic motivation, foster greater enthusiasm for learning, and lead to improved academic performance. Meanwhile, religious-based punishments such as reading istighfar, reciting Surah Yasin, and public apologies help instill moral awareness and personal responsibility in a constructive manner. These dual strategies not only promote discipline and self-regulation but also nurture a spiritually supportive educational atmosphere. The implementation of both reward and punishment proves effective in creating a balanced and motivating learning environment, aligning with Islamic pedagogical values. The study contributes to the growing literature on holistic educational practices by offering insights into motivational dynamics in pesantren-based settings. It suggests that integrating intrinsic motivational strategies with spiritually grounded disciplinary methods can support both academic excellence and ethical development. As such, educators are encouraged to apply these approaches thoughtfully to maximize student potential within culturally and religiously contextualized learning environments.

type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the strategic role of teacher exemplary behavior in character education within madrasahs, with the goal of fostering a generation that upholds both local values and global perspectives. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with teachers, students, and school administrators, along with observations and document analysis.
