Ahmad Arrifa'i, Risnita, Sodiah — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study examines human resource management (HRM) in enhancing teacher professionalism at Pondok Pesantren Almunawwaroh Tahfiz Walhadist Sungai Misang. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research reveals that teacher professionalism encompasses not only pedagogical competence but also moral integrity, scholarly commitment, and multifaceted roles as educators, spiritual mentors, and community leaders. The pesantren’s HRM system integrates Islamic values into planning, morally grounded recruitment, continuous training, multi-source performance evaluation, and genuine support for teacher well-being, despite financial constraints. Enabling factors include visionary leadership, a spiritually rooted learning culture, and institutional commitment to professional development. Key challenges involve limited funding, traditional management practices, and insufficient external collaboration. The pesantren’s success in producing graduates who excel academically while demonstrating spiritual maturity underscores how HRM aligned with Islamic principles; such as tazkiyah (self-purification), ikhlas (sincerity), and tawakkul (trust in God) can foster holistic education. These insights offer valuable lessons for both religious and mainstream educational institutions on harmonising professional standards with ethical and spiritual foundations

This study aims to analyze strategic management in creating an environmentally conscious and cultured school at SMPN 2 Larangan. With a descriptive qualitative approach, we collected data through interview, observation, and documentation methods. Data sources consisted of the principal, teachers, educators, and students. To analyze the data, this study used the Miles and Huberman model which involved three stages: data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The findings of this study indicate that SMPN 2 Larangan has implemented environmental strategic management through three main steps, namely: strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. The strategy formulation process is carried out by integrating environmental aspects into the school's vision, mission, and curriculum. The formation of the Adiwiyata team involving 16 working groups (Pokja) and 76 students as environmental cadres is the key to the strategy. The implementation of the program includes various innovative initiatives such as water and energy conservation, waste management, plant maintenance, and development of environmentally based products. The school has also revamped the Learning Implementation Plan (RPP) so that each subject can educate students about the importance of protecting the environment. A participatory approach involving all stakeholders is a very important success factor. Strategy evaluation is carried out periodically every three months by a special team, with success indicators that are not only seen from an administrative perspective, but also from a real impact on environmental and behavioral changes. The peak of success is marked by the achievement of the Adiwiyata Mandiri predicate and recognition as a plastic waste-free zone.

Istibsyaroh, Saiful Hadi, Abdul Aziz, Atiqullah, Hurriyatul Ifadhah — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Many Islamic educational institutions face the challenge of translating the noble values of prophetic leadership into effective operational strategies. This research addresses this gap by analyzing the strengthening model of prophetic leadership in building an excellent organizational culture at Al-Munawwarah Islamic Elementary School. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, this study finds that leadership effectiveness is not merely conceptual but is manifested in specific policies. Among these are the systematic integration of Islamic values into the national curriculum, the implementation of consistent disciplinary rules for teachers and students, such as the use of a public tardiness list, and the development of a collaborative culture through intensive vision communication and motivation. As a result, an educational environment that measurably supports the formation of students' moral character is established. This study offers a practical contribution in the form of an implementable framework, demonstrating how prophetic leadership principles can be translated into tangible programs and policies, making it replicable for other educational institutions.
