The quality of education is a crucial issue in human resource development, because the quality of educational services has a direct impact on learning outcomes, the relevance of graduates, and the competitiveness of the nation. However, the implementation of quality management in educational institutions still faces challenges in conceptual, strategic, and practical aspects. This article aims to answer the research question: how are the basic concepts of educational quality understood and implemented in the context of educational management in Indonesia? The method used is a literature review with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained from scientific articles sourced from Google Scholar and Publish or Perish with the keyword “basic concepts of quality.” Of the 22 articles found in the 2021–2025 range, five articles were selected through a screening and validation process for further analysis. The results of the study show three main themes. First, educational quality is understood as a quality standard that encompasses effectiveness, efficiency, and student satisfaction. Second, quality improvement strategies emphasize the role of Total Quality Management (TQM) and school-based management (SBM) involving all elements of educational institutions. Third, quality implementation is realized through academic management, learning quality, and a continuous monitoring system. The conclusion shows that education quality management is an integrated process, not only focusing on results but also on continuous improvement. Further research is recommended to expand the focus on the integration of digitalization in education quality monitoring.

The Independent Community Service Program (KKN) of the Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara at MDTA Yayasan Pendidikan Islam Al-Muttaqin, in Tanjung Rejo Village, Medan Sunggal District, was held from September 1–13, 2025, as a form of student dedication to strengthening religious education in the community. This program focuses on the development of Quranic reading and fiqh of congregational prayer, aiming to foster students' love for worship and deepen their understanding of Islamic teachings. The methods used include a participatory approach through Quran learning activities, practicing wudu, congregational prayer, and teaching the exemplary stories of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad Saw. In addition to religious guidance, social activities such as group exercise, mutual cooperation, and the commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad's birthday were also conducted to build harmonious relationships between students and the local community. The results of the activities show an improvement in students' religious abilities in Quranic reading and congregational prayer, as well as a deeper spiritual awareness. This KKN program is a concrete example of the synergy between education, da'wah, and community service in building students' character and faith in the MDTA Yayasan Pendidikan Islam Al-Muttaqin environment.

This study aims to analyze the synergy between the Cambridge Curriculum and Islamic Education in fostering students’ character who are faithful, knowledgeable, and globally competitive. The research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, following the PRISMA protocol to trace, screen, and synthesize relevant literature from reputable databases (Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) within the 2015–2025 timeframe. Out of 142 identified articles, 38 met the thematic and methodological eligibility criteria. The findings indicate that the integration of the Cambridge Curriculum and Islamic Education creates a hybrid educational model that balances global academic achievement with spiritual and moral development. The Cambridge Curriculum provides a framework for 21st-century competencies, while Islamic Education embeds values, manners, and moral accountability. This synergy requires a paradigm shift among teachers, pedagogical innovation, and curriculum policies centered on character formation. The study concludes that character development based on the integration of global curriculum and Islamic values is a strategic pathway to cultivating an excellent and adaptive Muslim generation ready to face global challenges.

This study examines the theological foundations of pastoral counseling in Christian Religious Education (CRE) within the digital era, emphasizing the integration of Trinitarian theology, adolescent developmental psychology, and the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20. Digitalization has reshaped adolescent struggles, introducing challenges such as cyberbullying, social media addiction, and virtual identity crises that demand contextual and transformative pastoral responses. Using a qualitative library research approach, this study synthesizes systematic theology, developmental psychology, and transformative pedagogy to construct a conceptual framework for CRE teachers in guiding the digital generation. Findings reveal that Trinitarian theology provides a holistic foundation: God the Father affirms authentic identity beyond digital validation, Christ the Redeemer restores identity from digital trauma, and the Holy Spirit guides character formation for wise engagement in the digital world. Integrating theology with developmental psychology enables a deeper understanding of the digital generation’s struggles and highlights the need for both theological depth and psychological insight. The proposed framework includes five components: Trinitarian foundation, contextual diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, supportive community formation, and the use of digital media as a ministry tool. This integrative and transformative model aims to foster holistic transformation—cognitive, affective, behavioral, and spiritual—preparing adolescents to become mature disciples who bear witness to Christ in digital spaces.

This study aims to analyze how Islamic education policy in Indonesia functions as a social mechanism in shaping and maintaining societal integration amidst modern social change. Based on Émile Durkheim's functionalism theory, this study views Islamic education as an institution that plays a vital role in maintaining moral order, social solidarity, and preventing symptoms of anomie resulting from an imbalance between traditional values and the demands of modernity. The approach used is qualitative with an exploratory-descriptive orientation, with data collection techniques through literature studies of policy documents, institutional reports, and related scientific research results. The analysis is conducted descriptively and analytically to interpret the social function of the policy based on the concepts of social solidarity, division of labor, and anomie. The results show that policies such as madrasah integration, religious moderation programs, and teacher professionalization have a manifest function in expanding access to education, increasing social mobility, strengthening gender equality, and strengthening cohesion between religious communities. However, latent functions are also found in the form of bureaucratization of educational institutions, resource inequality, and value resistance among local communities. These findings confirm that Islamic education policy operates ambivalently: as an integrative instrument that strengthens social solidarity, but also as an arena for value negotiation between tradition and modernity. Therefore, Islamic education policy needs to be directed in a more contextual and participatory manner to optimally function as an agent of inclusive, adaptive, and sustainable social transformation for modern Indonesian society.

The quality of education is an important issue that requires an integrated and sustainable management system. One approach that is widely used is Total Quality Management (TQM), which focuses not only on achieving academic standards, but also on the satisfaction of all education stakeholders. Although many studies have discussed IQM, a synthesis is still needed to see how IQM has been applied over the past five years and its contribution to customer satisfaction in education. Therefore, the research questions asked are: (1) how has IQM research in education developed from 2020 to 2025, and (2) to what extent has it contributed to customer satisfaction in education? This article uses a qualitative method based on a literature review (LR). The search process was conducted through the Google Scholar and Publish or Perish databases using the keywords “Integrated Quality Management in Education.” The search yielded 20 articles, which were filtered into 18 relevant articles and further analyzed into 5 main articles. The review results show three main themes: quality system planning and integration, quality culture-based managerial strategies, and quality assurance oriented towards stakeholder satisfaction. The conclusion confirms that IQM contributes significantly to improving quality and customer satisfaction in education. Further research is recommended to test the empirical relationship between IQM practices and stakeholder satisfaction at various levels of education.

This community service activity aims to improve the competence of parents and managers of children with special needs resources in providing education effectively and sustainably. This training was motivated by the still low understanding of institutional managers regarding school resource management, especially in the aspects of planning, utilization, and evaluation of human resources and infrastructure. The activity was carried out on Sunday, October 19, 2025, through the stages of opening, delivery of materials, interactive discussion sessions, filling out questionnaires, and closing. The implementation method involved a participatory approach so that participants could play an active role in the learning process. The implementation of the community service took place in a special room of the Lazama institution. It was attended by approximately 20 participants consisting of special needs school management and parents. The results of the activity showed that participants experienced significant improvements in their understanding of concepts and practical skills in school resource management. Ninety-two percent of participants stated that the training material was highly relevant, 88% stated that their understanding improved, and 85% stated that they were ready to implement the strategies they had learned. The training also encouraged the formation of an internal resource management team at the KAZAMA Institute as a follow-up to the program. This activity not only increased the individual capacity of participants but also strengthened sustainable institutional governance. This community service activity successfully raised new awareness about the importance of collaborative, adaptive, and sustainability-oriented educational resource management, particularly in schools serving children with special needs.

Advances in information and communication technology (ICT) have revolutionized various aspects of life, including the education sector. The application of technology in education enables more flexible, interactive, and personalized learning, as well as expanding access for students in various regions, including remote areas. SMK Negeri 2 Binjai is one of the vocational education institutions in Binjai City that is currently facing challenges in the process of determining recipients of educational assistance, particularly the Indonesia Pintar (PIP) Program, which is intended for underprivileged students. Until now, the selection mechanism for PIP recipients has been carried out manually, making it prone to subjectivity, lack of transparency, and limited integrated data. To overcome this problem, a decision support system is needed to help schools determine the recipients of educational assistance objectively and structurally using the Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) method, which is an effective multi-criteria decision-making technique for processing various assessment criteria to produce the best alternative ranking. The results of the calculation using the WASPAS method produced different preference values (Qi) for each student alternative. The highest score was obtained by Ilyas Ramadhanu with a Qi of 0.6899, followed by Binar Sembiring with a Qi of 0.5963, and Dimas Dwi Andika with a Qi of 0.5790. The lowest value was obtained by Adit Rahmazi with a Qi of 0.3852.

Integrated Quality Management (IQM) or Total Quality Management (TQM) has become a strategic issue in the field of education because it is directly related to improving the quality of learning, school management, and the achievement of sustainable competency standards. In the context of Islamic education and integrated schools, the implementation of IQM is not only oriented toward managerial efficiency but also toward the integration of religious values and the development of students’ character. Therefore, this literature review is essential to understand the development, trends, and challenges of IQM implementation in education. The purpose of this literature review is to examine how IQM is applied in various educational institutions and to identify its theoretical and practical contributions. The research questions proposed are: (1) How are the concepts and principles of IQM developed in education? (2) What are the main impacts and challenges of its implementation? The study employed a literature search through repositories, e-journals, and online publications using the keywords “integrated quality management,” “TQM,” and “education.” Out of 20 initial articles, only 5 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in depth. The analysis results revealed three main themes: strengthening the fundamental concepts of IQM, the role of key figures and TQM principles in education, and the implementation impacts on academic and non-academic quality. In conclusion, IQM has proven to be relevant as a strategy for improving educational quality, although challenges such as limited resources and internal resistance still need to be addressed. Future research should explore adaptive IQM strategies tailored to the local school context.

Learning design in Islamic religious education plays a crucial role, as it focuses not only on mastering knowledge but also on the development of students' morals and spirituality. This study attempts to explain how Islamic values ​​can be integrated into the learning design process through a thematic study of verses from the Qur'an. This study employed a library research method with a thematic approach, examining verses from the Qur'an related to education and learning themes. The study found that verses such as QS Al-Baqarah: 31, QS An-Nahl: 125, and QS Ali-Imran: 159 contain educational principles relevant to learning design, including careful planning, wisdom in delivery, and compassion in educating. These values ​​align with the principles of modern, learner-oriented learning design. Therefore, the integration of Qur'anic values ​​into Islamic religious learning design serves as an important foundation for creating a holistic and Islamic learning process
