Suhendi Suhendi, A. Rahman A. Ghani, Sri Eka Herwati — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The implementation of large-scale public programs, such as the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) Program, requires not only operational readiness but also a clear ethical and procedural framework to prevent institutional conflict and ensure accountability. This study aims to examine and evaluate how Sharia-based ethical and procedural principles—namely Procedural Obedience, Tabayyun (verification), and Collective Gratitude—function in resolving institutional conflict and strengthening accountability within the implementation of the MBG Program. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this research was conducted at the Mutiara Islam Cileungsi Foundation, where individual interventions nearly invalidated the cooperation agreement with the Kitchen Provider (SPPG). Data were collected through document analysis, including memoranda of understanding, meeting minutes, and questionnaires, and were analyzed thematically using a framework integrating Sharia principles with the Program and Educational Evaluation (PEP) perspective. The results show that individual intervention constituted a violation of Procedural Obedience, particularly MOU Point 7, while public anxiety (khīfah) was effectively addressed through institutional Tabayyun via SLHS verification. The findings further indicate that conflict resolution was successfully achieved through Musyawarah (Syura), emphasizing Collective Gratitude, as reflected in 89.44% of students expressing agreement with the resolution outcome. This study implies that the sustainability and effectiveness of public programs depend on strict ethical discipline and procedural compliance. Sharia principles offer a robust normative foundation for PEP in strengthening transparency, restoring public trust, and promoting collective welfare in public policy implementation.

Ridwan Hanafi, Dwi Esti Andriani, La Ode Muhammad Zuhdi Mulkiyan — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Digital literacy in this study is conceptualized based on the European Commission’s Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (DigComp), which includes five dimensions: information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, digital content creation, safety, and problem solving. This study aims to examine differences in the digital literacy levels of secondary school principals based on age, gender, school organizer status, school location, frequency of ICT training, and availability of ICT facilities. A comparative quantitative approach was employed using area-proportional random sampling. The population consisted of 188 high school principals in Klaten Regency and Surakarta City, with 30 principals selected as the research sample. Instrument validity was tested using product-moment correlation, and data were analyzed using a t-test at a 5% significance level. The results reveal that age has a significant effect on principals’ digital literacy, with younger principals demonstrating higher levels (sig = 0.00). In contrast, no significant differences were found based on gender (sig = 0.265), school organizer status, public or private (sig = 0.109), or school location, urban or rural (sig = 0.442). Although principals who attended ICT training 1–2 times per year showed higher literacy levels, the difference was not statistically significant (sig = 0.852). Likewise, the availability of ICT-supportive facilities did not significantly influence digital literacy levels (sig = 0.650). These findings suggest that age remains the dominant factor influencing principals’ digital literacy, while institutional and contextual factors show limited impact.

Agus Waluyo, Jasiah Jasiah, Aram Hakobyan — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The development of a community-based education management model is not an entity separate from its community. On the contrary, Islamic educational institutions should be an integral part of society and responsive to the needs and aspirations of the community. This study aims to analyze the community-based management model in the development of Islamic educational institutions. The research method used in this study is library research. The results show that the community-based education management model is an approach in managing educational institutions that emphasizes the active role of the community in decision-making, program implementation, and evaluation of educational outcomes. The application of this model in developing Islamic educational institutions can be carried out through: community participation, involving parents in children's education activities, integrating local values and religion in the curriculum, partnerships with local communities by involving them in developing educational programs, community-based curricula through collaboration among various educational institutions, and continuous evaluation. This model is expected to serve as a foundation for the effective and efficient management of Islamic educational institutions that can address increasingly complex challenges.
