Paradigm of Multicultural Islamic Education Sociological Perspective

The current era is multicultural education, and more specifically Islamic multicultural education. Complexity, rapid social change, the era of information technology in the midst of plurality and multiculturality of Indonesian society, so multicultural education becomes very important and relevant. Therefore, prioritizing education in this style becomes an obligation for the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Religion and higher education institutions in Indonesia. In the framework of enriching studies and also implementing multicultural education, paradigmatic thinking is needed. From a sociological perspective, there are several paradigms, such as the social fact paradigm of multicultural education, the social definition paradigm of multicultural education and the social behavior paradigm of multicultural education. From this paradigm, research and studies can certainly be carried out to develop theories and praxis of multicultural Islamic education.

Readiness of sustainability course in accounting curriculum at Indonesian Higher Education

Colleges and universities significantly impact society and play a vital role in reaching global sustainable development goals (SDGs). The SDGs set by the United Nations aim to propel countries towards a more sustainable future. This survey was conducted to assess the readiness of Indonesian universities in preparing the sustainability learning process, especially in the accounting study program. This research examined 100 samples of Indonesian higher education universities. Purposive sampling is used, and the sample criterion is that Indonesian higher education institutions must have an undergraduate accounting study program and offer sustainability courses. According to the descriptive test, just 10% of public colleges and 24% of private universities offered sustainability courses. This result indicates that there still need to be more aware of preparing themselves for the process of sustainable development at universities in Indonesia.

The Role Of Independence And Effectiveness Of Internal Audit To Good University Governance

Purpose: This study aims at providing an empirical evidence of the effectiveness of the Internal Audit (IA) as a mediating variable in the association of IA independence and Good University Governance (GUG). Methodology/approach: A quantitative research using survey methods was carried out by applying Wrap PLS software for the data processing. The primary data were in the form of questionnaires, which were distributed to IA unit members from 58 state Islamic higher education institutions in Indonesia. There are 107 questionnaires that are accepted and processed. Findings: The results show that independence does not influence GUG directly. However, the effectiveness of IA proved the capability of mediating the relationship between IA independence and GUG. Internal auditors in higher education institutions are still unable to fully maintain their independence. It happened because, apart from being an auditor, lecturers act as auditees in their capacity as educators. Practical implications: For policymakers, the results of this research can be used as an input or a basis for establishing new regulations, especially regarding IA in Higher Education. For State Islamic Higher Education, this study provides recommendations for the need to increase the independence and effectiveness of the IA because it can support the achievement of GUG. Originality/value: This study uses IA objects in state Islamic universities throughout Indonesia. This research model is different from previous research by placing IA effectiveness in the relationship between IA independence and GUG.

Increasing competition for higher education institutions in Indonesia requires internal changes for each organization in preparing a competitive strategy in order to survive in the current environment. Growth and survivability have been the most common goals. Intrapreneurship can be a solution to face competition in the higher education industry. Intrapreneurship is very important and appropriate to be developed among higher education in Indonesia. This research attempts to examine the role of the variable spirituality leadership as an antecedent of the intrapreneurship behavior of lecturers at private universities in Yogyakarta. The population of this study were all lecturers from private universities in Yogyakarta. Samples were taken from the population using simple random sampling techniques, and data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires directly and online to respondents. The data analysis process uses Structured Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS), to test the model as well as to test the hypotheses offered. Overall, among the four hypotheses proposed, there are two hypotheses that are accepted, and two hypotheses are rejected. The research findings show that spiritual leadership has a positive and significant effect on intrapreneurship and organizational support. On the other hand, organizational support has no direct effect on intrapreneurship, and organizational support is also not a variable mediating the relationship between spiritual leadership and intrapreneurship.

The role of strategic agility on sustainable competitive advantage of private higher education institutions

Insofar as a few researchers have studied the effect of strategic agility (SA) adoption as a technique for enabling sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) in higher education institutions (HEIs). In this regard, this study will examine the extent to which SCA enhances SA and the factors influencing the adoption of these techniques in the context of HEIs, using the dynamic capabilities theory (Tallon et al., 2019; Păunescu et al., 2018). This study aims to explore the highest-order firm’s capabilities, namely leadership capability, entrepreneurial capability, information technology (IT) capability, and alliance management capability, based on the perspective of dynamic capability theory as factors that influence SA and SCA with a systematic review approach to address all research topics in this study. Therefore, the primary objectives of this research are to investigate the adoption of SA practices among private HEIs in Indonesia and its effect on SCA in the context of dynamic capabilities by using a systematic review approach. The results show that the SA method will be the right instrument to achieve SCA in private HEIs in Indonesia. SCA can be utilized for HEIs organizations to achieve sustainable and long-term performance.

Leadership, capability and performance: A study among private higher education institutions in Indonesia

Higher education institution is an important sector to obtain capabilities for global challenges. This study explored the mediating effect of ambidextrous capability between the link organizational leadership capability, learning orientation, and strategic flexibility on the performance of private higher education institutions in Indonesia. In this cross-sectional study, an online survey, which involved 524 rectors or deans in private higher education institutions (HEIs), was conducted using Google Forms. The accumulated data were analyzed using SEM-PLS 4.0. The findings revealed that organizational leadership capability displayed a statistically insignificant effect on organizational performance. However, learning orientation and strategic flexibility were found statistically significant effects on organizational performance. Moreover, this study also confirmed that organizational leadership capability, learning orientation, and strategic flexibility had a significant correlation with ambidextrous capability. The relationship between organizational performance and ambidextrous capability was identified as having no significant relationship. Apparently, organizational leadership capability, learning orientation, and strategic flexibility had no significant effect on organizational performance through ambidextrous capability. This study confirmed that ambidextrous capability had no mediating effect between organizational leadership capability, learning orientation, and strategic flexibility on the performance of private higher education institutions. This study found that dynamic capability theory (DCT) by identifying the mediating effect of the ambidextrous capability to gain organizational performance was not supported by the findings of this study. The ambidextrous capability may be applied to devise effective strategies and policies that can enhance organizational performance of different sectors.

A Mealy Machine for Mechanic Dynamic Aesthetic (MDA) Gamification Model of Educator Career System in Indonesian Higher Education Institutions

The purpose of this study is to develop a mechanic dynamic aesthetic (MDA) gamification model for higher education institutions (HEIs’) educator career system (ECS). A mealy machine or finite state machine (FSM) is used to model the ECS gamification mechanic because the academic degrees targeted by the educators are finite and assumed to be the states that they must accomplish during their journey as professional educators. A program is created to simulate the Mealy machine and the results are checked by an ECS reviewer team. MDA-ECS is the result of a new ECS gamification model implemented in Indonesian HEIs. The proposed gamification model’s mechanic is a five-tuple Mealy machine, which consists of four elements: (career) states, start states, inputs, outputs, and transitions. The four functional degrees (FDs): Associate Lecturer, Lecturer, Associate Professor, and Professor: represent the states of the machine. Credit points from the four aspects of 3D-HEI collected by the educator are the machine’s inputs, while the grade of FDs, reward, and punishment are the outputs, and thus the gamification. The simulation showed that the mealy machine met the informational and affective aspects of the ECS regulation in Indonesian HEIs.

ChatGPT in higher education learning: Acceptance and use

This paper examines the determinants that drive ChatGPT use in learning among Indonesian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) students. A proposed model based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model-2 (UTAUT2) was used in the context of the study. A pilot study was done prior to the main data collection to examine the reliability of the instrument. For the structural model assessment, 1117 responses were analyzed through Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPMA). Most hypotheses are confirmed by the significant results reported through the PLS-SEM. The strongest determinant of Behavioral Intention (BI) to use ChatGPT in learning was Facilitating Conditions (FC). ChatGPT use (GPTU) was most significantly predicted by BI. However, one hypothesis was not supported; the insignificant role of Effort Expectancy (EE) on BI was revealed. Through IPMA, FC had the most significant importance for BI, while BI was the most important determinant for GPTU. Besides, BI obtains the highest performance in the IPMA procedure. This study addresses a UTAUT model by evaluating ChatGPT acceptance and use among HEIs students in Indonesia. Findings could facilitate policymakers with insights into the determinants and initiate effective and efficient policies to improve artificial intelligence use in education, specifically ChatGPT.

PERFORMANCE OF INDONESIAN HIGHER EDUCATION UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND LECTURER PERFORMANCE

The study aims to see the role of organizational culture and lecturer performance in improving university organizational performance. We use the inferential verification technique, which is a strategy used by researchers to assess the validity of the hypotheses presented by collecting actual data from several higher education administrators. Two hundred samples from higher education institutions in Indonesia were deliberately selected as respondents. We used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis to test the hypotheses, aided by Smart-PLS software. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that organizational culture has a significant positive effect on the performance of higher education organizations, lecturer performance has a significant positive effect on higher education organizational performance, and organizational culture has a significant positive effect on the performance of college lecturers. The limitation of this research is that the survey only focuses on universities in Indonesia and the tactical management level of an organization. Practical implications: According to research findings, improving lecturer performance and organizational culture can improve the organizational performance of tertiary institutions in Indonesia. The lecturer performance variable is proven to be a mediating or intervening variable for organizational culture influencing the performance of higher education organizations in Indonesia. Based on the 1945 Constitution, education, including higher education in Indonesia, is one of the indicators of advancing science and technology, higher education must be the driving force of national development, and higher education solves the nation's problems.
