STRATEGI-PROFETIK MENINGKATKAN MUTU MADRASAH STUDI KASUS PADA MI AL AMIN PALUR

Digital transformation in Islamic elementary schools (madrasah ibtidaiyah) presents challenges in improving the quality of learning and school management while simultaneously maintaining prophetic character. Therefore, the leadership of madrasah principals needs to be reconstructed through an integrative approach. This study aims to reconstruct a prophetic-strategic leadership strategy for madrasah principals by integrating strategic orientation, the prophetic values of shiddiq, amanah, tabligh, and fathanah, digital transformation, and educational quality at MI Al Amin Palur. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis of the Madrasah Development Plan (Rencana Pengembangan Madrasah) for the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were analyzed thematically through data reduction, coding, categorization, interpretation, source triangulation, and conclusion drawing to identify patterns of leadership strategies. The findings indicate that the principal’s leadership has demonstrated strategic practices through vision-based planning, team development, supervision, evaluation, and the implementation of flagship programs. Prophetic values are reflected in exemplary leadership, accountability, open communication, deliberative decision-making, and decisions based on students’ needs. Digital transformation has developed across learning, administration, communication, and the utilization of interactive flat panels (IFPs) and laboratory facilities. Madrasah quality is reflected in academic development, tahsin-tahfidz programs, character development, student achievements, service quality, and parents’ trust. The reconstructed model positions strategic-prophetic leadership as the strategic driver, prophetic culture as the foundation, teacher capacity development as the leverage mechanism, technology as an enabler, and educational quality as the outcome monitored through a continuous data-driven improvement cycle. The contribution of this study lies in formulating a contextual leadership model for madrasah ibtidaiyah that integrates strategic, prophetic, digital, and quality dimensions within a unified leadership architecture. ABSTRAK Transformasi digital pada madrasah ibtidaiyah menghadirkan permasalahan berupa tuntutan peningkatan mutu pembelajaran dan manajemen madrasah sekaligus kebutuhan mempertahankan karakter profetik, sehingga kepemimpinan kepala madrasah perlu direkonstruksi secara integratif. Penelitian ini bertujuan merekonstruksi strategi kepemimpinan-profetik kepala madrasah yang menghubungkan orientasi strategis, nilai shiddiq, amanah, tabligh, dan fathanah, transformasi digital, serta mutu pendidikan di MI Al Amin Palur. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus, sedangkan data diperoleh melalui wawancara, observasi, dan analisis dokumen Rencana Pengembangan Madrasah 2025/2026. Analisis dilakukan secara tematik melalui reduksi, pengodean, kategorisasi, pemaknaan, triangulasi sumber, dan penarikan kesimpulan untuk membangun pola strategi kepemimpinan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan kepala madrasah telah memperlihatkan praktik strategis melalui perencanaan berbasis visi, pembagian tim, supervisi, evaluasi, dan pengembangan program unggulan; nilai profetik tampak melalui keteladanan, tanggung jawab, komunikasi terbuka, musyawarah, dan pengambilan keputusan berbasis kebutuhan peserta didik; transformasi digital telah berkembang pada pembelajaran, administrasi, komunikasi, dan sarana IFP/laboratorium, mutu madrasah tercermin dalam perkembangan akademik, tahsin-tahfidz, karakter, prestasi, layanan, dan kepercayaan orang tua. Rekonstruksi model yang dihasilkan menempatkan kepemimpinan strategis-profetik sebagai pengarah, budaya profetik sebagai fondasi, penguatan kapasitas guru sebagai pengungkit, teknologi sebagai enabler, dan mutu sebagai keluaran yang dipantau melalui siklus data-perbaikan berkelanjutan. Kontribusi penelitian terletak pada perumusan model kontekstual tingkat madrasah ibtidaiyah yang menyatukan dimensi strategis, profetik, digital, dan mutu dalam satu arsitektur kepemimpinan.
