Analysis of Stain's Transformation Policy to UIN as an Effort to Develop PTKIN from Kurt Lewin's Change Management Perspective

The development of PTKIN is an inevitability that is the dream of many Islamic higher institutions in Indonesia. This development can be attempted with various approaches, including implementing the concept of change management from Kurt Lewin. One example of the development of Islamic higher education is the change from STAIN Malang to UIN Malang. The purpose of this study is to examine in depth the process of changing STAIN Malang to UIN Malang through Kurt Lewin's change management. The research method used is qualitative with data triangulation techniques. The results of the study showed that the stages of change that were passed through in the process of STAIN becoming UIN were as follows; (1) Unfreezing, STAIN Malang moved from its comfort zone by analyzing various problems. (2) Moving, the change of STAIN Malang to UIN is major and comprehensive. (3) Refreezing, STAIN Malang has changed to UIN with institutional, philosophical, socio-cultural, economic, and psychological changes. The pattern of change developed by UIN Malang will continue to be evaluated and there will be follow-up so that the changes will bring about a higher quality institution and towards a more perfect inevitability like other PTKIN.
