IMPLEMENTATION OF MINIMUM SERVICE STANDARDS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO LEARNING QUALITY IN MADRASAH DINIYAH TAKMILIYAH

This study analyzes the influence of implementing Minimum Service Standards (SPM) on the learning quality at Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah Awaliyah (MDTA). SPM serves as a critical framework designed to ensure the quality of educational services in MDTA, encompassing elements such as curriculum, infrastructure, and teacher competence. Employing a quantitative approach with linear regression analysis, the study involves 45 MDTAs in the Baleendah District. The findings indicate that the implementation of SPM significantly affects learning quality, with an R Square value of 0.886, meaning that SPM implementation accounts for 88.6% of the variation in learning quality. Other influential factors include teacher competence and the availability of infrastructure. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Ministry of Religious Affairs enhance professional development for teachers and improve infrastructure in MDTAs, particularly in remote areas. These efforts are expected to further improve the quality of religious education in MDTA and ensure equitable application of SPM across Indonesia.
