The Role of Organizational Culture in Teachers’ Professional Competence at Muhammadiyah Junior High Schools in Medan
This study aims to analyze the synergistic relationship between school culture and the formation of teacher professionalism at Muhammadiyah Junior High School in Medan. This study is based on the assumption that the success of teacher competency development is not only determined by individual factors, but also by a positive work environment and visionary leadership. The research method used a quantitative approach with a correlational survey design. The research population included all 355 teachers at Muhammadiyah Junior High School in Medan City, with a sample of 217 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data collection was conducted using a Likert scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis used path analysis to examine the direct and indirect contributions between variables. The results showed that school culture had a significant effect on teacher professionalism, while principal leadership reinforced this effect by creating a participatory and collaborative work climate. The combination of the two resulted in a higher increase in teacher professionalism compared to the effect of each variable separately. These findings emphasize the importance of building an adaptive school culture and transformative leadership as a strategy for improving the quality of education in private schools based on values.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INDEPENDENT CURRICULUM IN SHAPING THE CHARACTER OF TEACHERS AT SMA NEGERI 1 NAMORAMBE AND SMA NEGERI 1 KUTALIMBARU (MULTISITE APPROACH)
This study explores how the implementation of the Independent Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) influences teacher character formation in two public senior high schools SMA Negeri 1 Namorambe and SMA Negeri 1 Kutalimbaru through a multisite qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis to identify differences in understanding, practices, and contextual factors affecting curriculum application. The findings reveal that both schools share a fundamental understanding of the Independent Curriculum’s core principles flexibility, differentiated learning, and strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile (P5) yet their implementations differ significantly. At SMA Negeri 1 Namorambe, the curriculum is primarily viewed as an administrative requirement, emphasizing discipline, responsibility, and individual independence. Conversely, SMA Negeri 1 Kutalimbaru interprets it as a framework for creativity, collaboration, and contextual learning, fostering innovative, reflective, and socially aware teacher characteristics. Contextual factors such as leadership style, socio-cultural environment, and resource availability play a critical role in shaping these outcomes. The study concludes that participatory leadership and a culture of collaboration enhance curriculum effectiveness and teacher character growth, while administrative rigidity and limited resources constrain innovation. Overall, the Independent Curriculum demonstrates flexibility, enabling diverse pathways to professional and character development among teachers across different school settings.

The Strategic Role of Leadership: Realizing a Value-Based Digital Transformation in Islamic Boarding Schools
This study aims to analyze the strategic role of leadership in implementing digital transformation at Pondok Pesantren Ash-Shiddiiqi in the era of globalization, focusing on the integration of Islamic values, adaptive and exemplary leadership, human resource capacity development, external collaboration, and strategic communication. The research employed a qualitative case study approach, involving in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of leadership practices and digitalization in the pesantren. The findings indicate that values-based leadership enables sustainable digitalization without compromising the identity of the pesantren, while adaptive and exemplary leadership enhances the collective capacity of teachers and staff through collaborative learning. Collaboration with alumni, government agencies, and other stakeholders strengthens resource support and institutional innovation, whereas transparent and Qur’anic principle-based communication effectively mitigates resistance to change. The integration of religious values, moral exemplarity, and technological adaptation creates a harmonization between digital innovation and spiritual orientation, reinforcing leadership legitimacy and ensuring the sustainability of the transformation. These findings contribute to the literature on transformational and adaptive leadership in Islamic education and provide practical guidance for other pesantren and Islamic educational institutions in managing digital transformation sustainably, aligned with institutional missions, and responsive to global challenges TRANSLATE with x English Arabic Hebrew Polish Bulgarian Hindi Portuguese Catalan Hmong Daw Romanian Chinese Simplified Hungarian Russian Chinese Traditional Indonesian Slovak Czech Italian Slovenian Danish Japanese Spanish Dutch Klingon Swedish English Korean Thai Estonian Latvian Turkish Finnish Lithuanian Ukrainian French Malay Urdu German Maltese Vietnamese Greek Norwegian Welsh Haitian Creole Persian TRANSLATE with COPY THE URL BELOW <!--a id="TwitterLink" title="Share on Twitter"> <a-- id="FacebookLink" title="Share on Facebook"> </a--> Back EMBED THE SNIPPET BELOW IN YOUR SITE Enable collaborative features and customize widget: Bing Webmaster Portal Back
Strategic Management of Student Organization: For Discipline Enhancement in Islamic Boarding Schools
The purpose of this study is to analyze the strategic management of the student organization in enhancing discipline at Al-Kautsar Integrated Islamic Boarding School, Tebo Regency, Jambi Province. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive analytical approach, involving in-depth interviews with the organization’s supervisor, the chairman, and documentation related to the organization’s programs. The results indicate that the strategic management of the student organization operates effectively through four main processes: planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision. Planning includes the formulation of vision and mission, disciplinary regulations, sanction guidelines, and a structured activity schedule. Organizing involves establishing the organizational structure, assigning tasks based on students’ interests and competencies, and direct guidance from the organization supervisor. Implementation focuses on habituating disciplined behavior through role modeling, regular briefings, habituation and assignment, as well as motivation provision. Supervision is conducted through direct and indirect monitoring, routine weekly and monthly evaluations, and accountability reporting at the end of the term. The implications of this study suggest that the application of strategic management can consistently improve student discipline, create an orderly and conducive pesantren environment, and serve as a model for student organization governance implementation in other pesantrens across Indonesia.
SYNERGY OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP STYLE AND COMPENSATORY JUSTICE IN BUILDING JOB SATISFACTIO N OF STATE ISLAMIC SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS IN PEKANBARU CITY
This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership style and compensation fairness on job satisfaction of State Islamic Senior High School teachers in Pekanbaru City. Transformational leadership style is believed to be able to create positive changes by providing inspiration, individual attention, and intellectual encouragement for teachers to develop their potential and performance. Meanwhile, compensation fairness reflects the suitability between financial and non-financial rewards received by teachers with the contributions they make to the institution. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The results show that transformational leadership style has a positive and significant effect on teacher job satisfaction with an influence coefficient of 0.282 and a calculated t value of 4.035 > t table 1.653. Similarly, compensation has a positive and significant effect on teacher job satisfaction with an influence coefficient of 0.329 and a calculated t value of 5.317 > t table 1.653. These findings confirm that the more effective the implementation of transformational leadership style and the more fair the compensation system implemented, the higher the level of teacher job satisfaction. The implications of this research show the importance of strengthening the leadership capacity of madrasah principals that is inspirational, humanistic, and empowerment-oriented, as well as the implementation of a transparent and proportional compensation system to improve the welfare, motivation, and performance of teachers in the State Madrasah Aliyah environment of Pekanbaru City.

Studi Green Pesantren merupakan sebuah pola dalam mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai Islam dengan prinsip keberlanjutan lingkungan, menjadikannya model pendidikan berbasis agama yang relevan dalam menghadapi krisis iklim global. Meskipun telah muncul berbagai inisiatif di lapangan, belum ada kajian yang secara komprehensif memetakan lanskap penelitian Green Pesantren dalam rentang waktu tahun 2000–2025. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi tren publikasi, kolaborasi penulis, dan tema utama riset Green Pesantren pada periode 2000-2025. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif berbasis bibliometric analysis, data dikumpulkan dari basis database Scopus dan Google Schoolar dengan kata kunci terkait dan dianalisis menggunakan perangkat lunak VOSviewer dan Publish or Perish (PoP). Hasil analisis menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan publikasi dalam lima tahun terakhir (2020–2025), dengan pergeseran tema penelitian dari kesadaran ekologis menuju implementasi program dan evaluasi kelembagaan. Sebagian besar penelitian berasal dari Indonesia, yang menunjukkan bahwa fenomena Green Pesantren berakar kuat pada kearifan lokal Indonesia, namun juga memiliki relevansi global sebagai model pendidikan Islam berbasis lingkungan. Pemetaan tematik mengungkap tiga klaster utama: (1) Internalisasi nilai dan kesadaran lingkungan, (2) Landasan teologis Islam dan integrasi pendidikan, serta (3) Manajemen lingkungan dan implementasi praktis. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa Green Pesantren merepresentasikan paradigma pendidikan transformatif yang menjembatani spiritualitas dan keberlanjutan, serta menekankan pentingnya kolaborasi internasional, inovasi kurikulum, dan dukungan kebijakan untuk memperkuat perannya sebagai model pendidikan Islam berkelanjutan di tingkat global.
The Influence of Parenting Style, Religious Culture of Madrasah, and Self-Regulation on Students' Morality in Private Madrasah Aliyah Schools in Pekanbaru
¬¬¬ ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of parenting style, the religious culture of Madrasahs, and self-regulation on the moral character of students in private Madrasah Aliyah institutions in Pekanbaru City. The study utilized a quantitative methodology through a survey technique. The sample comprised 205 students chosen from three Madrasahs with differing accreditation statuses. Data were gathered by questionnaires and documentation, and analyzed with multiple linear regression. The results demonstrate that parenting style significantly influences students' morals, with a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05) and a contribution of 77.8%. The religious culture of Madrasahs notably affects students' moral behavior, evidenced by a significance value of 0.003 (< 0.05) and a contribution of 4.4%. Simultaneously, self-regulation exerts a substantial influence on students' morals, evidenced by a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05) and a contribution of 20%. Concurrent analysis indicates that parental style and religious culture collectively account for 78.6% of students' morality, whereas the interplay of religious culture and self-regulation contributes 23%. The three variables; parenting style, religious school culture, and self-regulation collectively exhibit a substantial influence on children' moral character, contributing 99.2% with a significance level of 0.000. These findings underscore the significance of a holistic strategy that incorporates familial, educational, and individual psychological elements in character education. The study provides significant insights for formulating more effective, evidence-based tactics in moral instruction within Islamic educational institutions.
ADOLESCENT CHILD PARENTING SKILLS THROUGH PHYSICAL ASPECT OF STUDY IN MUSLIM FAMILIES IN MALAYSIA AND INDONESIA
Adolescents represent a strategic demographic group undergoing significant biological, psychological, and social transformations, requiring appropriate parenting approaches to shape healthy lifestyle behaviors. Globally, there are 1.8 billion adolescents, while in Indonesia the number reaches 44.29 million; however, various studies indicate that many still face issues such as poor personal hygiene, insufficient physical activity, irregular sleep patterns, and unbalanced diets. This study aims to explore parental skills in fostering the physical aspects of adolescents based on Islamic values and Malay culture in Indonesia and Malaysia. A quantitative survey method was employed, using online questionnaires distributed to 429 adolescents in Malaysia and 94 adolescents in Indonesia. Data were analyzed descriptively using SPSS to obtain frequency distributions, means, and standard deviations. The results show that parental physical care skills are at a high level, with average scores ranging from 3.26 to 3.76. Assessed aspects include grooming according to proper gender identity, personal hygiene, proper aurah covering, engaging in healthy leisure activities, adequate sleep, practicing Islamic eating and drinking etiquette, consuming balanced and sunnah-based diets, caring for health, and administering necessary medication during illness. The integration of religious values and local Malay wisdom has been proven to strengthen the formation of healthy, disciplined, and well-mannered physical habits among adolescents. This study concludes that parents play a crucial role as role models and guides for a healthy lifestyle grounded in Islamic and local cultural values. It is recommended that family education programs in Malay communities strengthen literacy on adolescent physical care aligned with religious teachings and cultural traditions to address modern adolescent health challenges
Validity and Reliability of the Artificial Intelligence Literacy Instrument for Prospective Islamic Education Teachers: A Rasch Analysis
This study aims to validate an Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy instrument for Islamic Education (PAI) students using Rasch analysis to evaluate its reliability, validity, item-fit statistics, and unidimensionality. The instrument was developed to measure the extent of AI literacy among prospective Islamic Education teachers. A cross-sectional survey design was employed, involving 64 students from a university in Riau, Indonesia. Participants completed an AI literacy instrument consisting of 85 items. The sampling technique used was quota sampling. Data were analyzed using the Rasch model with the aid of Winsteps software version 3.73. The results of the Rasch analysis indicated that the instrument demonstrated good reliability (α = 0.85), excellent item quality (0.94), and consistent respondent reliability (0.84). In terms of validity, the three dimensions of AI literacy were confirmed to possess unidimensional properties. The practical implication of this study lies in providing higher education institutions with a validated AI literacy instrument that can be used to assess the knowledge of future Islamic Education teachers. By employing Rasch analysis, this study contributes to enhancing the psychometric robustness of measurement tools, particularly in the context of assessing artificial intelligence literacy in Indonesia.
SHARIA LAW AND SHARIA VIRTUES IN SHAPING THE MORALS OF GENERATION Z: AN INTEGRATIVE-INTERCONNECTIVE APPROACH
The purpose of this study is to develop an integrative-interconnective relationship between ahkam syariáh and makarim syariáh. This will build a solid foundation of understanding and knowledge to guide the moral development of Generation Z, who are growing up in an era of rapid technological advancement. The main issue identified is the gap between the intellectual understanding of ahkam syari'ah and makarim syari'ah, which leads to a lack of practical application of ethical virtues, or a clear imbalance between the two. Therefore, instilling morals in Generation Z requires a strong theoretical framework that integrates ahkam syari'ah and makarim syari'ah. Addressing existing problems in ethical virtues is crucial. Sharia law refers to practices related to worship and the basic principles of Islamic teachings, where compliance leads to goodness and non- compliance leads to error. In contrast, makarim syariah (ethical virtues) refers to actions that aim to bring individuals closer to the attributes of God, such as wisdom, knowledge, generosity, forgiveness, and other similar virtues. A qualitative approach was used, utilizing literature research and in-depth content analysis of primary texts and leading academic journals. This study carefully examines the natural relationship and interdependence between two important elements of Islamic law (ahkam syariáh and makarim syariáh). It explores how this integrated approach directs Generation Z's moral education from merely achieving goodness to deeply embracing the attributes of God, which ultimately fulfills the objectives of Islamic law.
