Leadership in Indonesian Islamic Schools: How Leader Spiritual and Motivational Styles Affect Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Employees' Religiosity

The history of Islamic education in Indonesia has experienced fluctuations over time. Until the late 1970s, the education system in Indonesia retained a strong dichotomous pattern. With the onset of reforms in the 1980s, the Muslim community began to reform its education system, which impacted the development of Islamic education in Indonesia. This is evident from the significant growth of integrated Islamic educational institutions across various levels in major cities in Indonesia. Of course, enhancing the quality of the educational process must accompany this increase. Teachers and staff play a crucial role in maintaining the quality of the educational process in schools.

Examining ELT-knowledge-based learning outcomes within the national curriculum guidelines of Indonesian Islamic tertiary education

The study aims to critically analyse the clarity, observability, and measurability of ELT knowledge-based learning outcomes (LOs) as outlined in the current national curriculum guidelines for Indonesian Islamic higher education institutions. The researchers employed document analysis to assess 22 items of the LOs within the guidelines published in 2018 by the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA) through the Directorate of Indonesian Islamic Higher Education. Then, the researchers applied the Bloom’s revised taxonomy as the theoretical framework, converting LOs’ illustrative verbs to Bloom’s illustrative verbs to examine the quality of LOs to determine whether the LOs promote higher- or lower-order thinking skills. This study shows that a significant majority (95.45%) of the analysed LOs in the current national guidelines suffer from poor design (unclear, unobservable, and unmeasurable) due to the absence of Bloom’s cognitive illustrative verbs. Collectively, these findings have important implications for educators and policymakers to pay more attention to the quality of their designed LOs. It suggests an urgent need for the Directorate of Indonesian Islamic Higher Education to revise its LOs because they risk affecting the quality, relevance, and effectiveness of their education in generating graduates who have global competitiveness. Poorly designed LOs promote only lower-order skills, which paralyse graduates’ global competitiveness because they do not possess the knowledge required in the international arena. It is hoped that this study will serve as an inspiration to other countries and educational authorities facing similar challenges, encouraging them to be more meticulous in crafting well-designed LOs.

Manajemen Sekolah Islam Terpadu (Pengembangan Kurikulum Sekolah Islam Terpadu)

The presence of Integrated Islamic Schools with their integrated curriculum is a new phenomenon in the form of the Islamic education system in Indonesia. Until the end of the 70s, the Indonesian education system still had a dichotomous style. As the Reformation progressed in the 80s, there were efforts by some groups to try to break away from the existing system with the idea of ​​an Integrated Islamic School. This research focuses on revealing how the presence of Integrated Islamic Schools has contributed to the development of Islamic education in Indonesia. This research is a qualitative case study with a descriptive approach. It is hoped that the results of this research will be useful for all parties who wish to know about the existence and development of Integrated Islamic Schools in the development of Islamic education in Indonesia. This research found that the emergence of Integrated Islamic Schools, with all their variations, in the development of Islamic education in Indonesia was initiated by Islamic movement activists who were anxious about the results of school graduates in Indonesia. Where the graduates do not have strong resistance to the currents and viruses of globalization, because the school education system in Indonesia is dichotomous, mastering worldly sciences but not having a strong religious spirit, vulnerable to the influence of the globalization virus, far from Islamic values. This condition is felt to be not good for the future of the Indonesian Muslim generation. So, the alternative and solution needs to be to reconstruct the existing education system using an integrated Islamic education system. The development of an integrated school curriculum certainly uses good and appropriate management, known as school management, which regulates the school planning system, organization, implementation of school activities, and of course the evaluation process which is expected to be able to build healthy and advanced school institutional dynamics. Apart from that, it is necessary to carry out quality control to maintain the institutional quality of both teachers, education staff and students who focus on controlling the input, process and output.
