Performance Management in Islamic Boarding Schools: Implementing Balanced Scorecard and Key Performance Indicators
No full textEducational institutions face increasing demands for accountability, effectiveness, and strategic performance management. This study aims to examine the implementation of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a performance management tool in an Islamic boarding school. A qualitative case study design was employed at Nurul Fikri Boarding School Lembang. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with school leaders, teachers, and educational staff, supported by observations and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key patterns related to BSC implementation. The findings reveal that BSC implementation has been initiated and is primarily understood at the leadership level, while understanding among teachers and staff remains uneven. Performance indicators are formulated through a predominantly top-down process within each work unit and implemented through routine performance evaluations; however, their application is not yet optimal due to limited data availability and constrained human resource capacity. The study also finds that the integration of Islamic values into performance indicators has not been systematically standardized. Leadership commitment, foundation support, and the availability of strategic planning documents were identified as key supporting factors for BSC implementation. In conclusion, while the Balanced Scorecard has begun to function as a performance management framework, strengthening understanding across organizational levels, improving data systems, and developing Islamic values-based performance indicators are necessary to enhance its effectiveness. These findings imply the need for capacity building, data infrastructure development, and contextual adaptation of BSC in Islamic educational institutions.
Project-Based Learning with Qreatif Educative: Improving Early Writing Skills in Elementary Schools
No full textBeginning writing is a foundational literacy skill in early elementary education because it supports students’ ability to form letters, build words, and construct simple sentences to express ideas. However, classroom instruction at the early writing stage often remains procedural and copy-based, with limited media to stimulate idea development, engagement, and confidence in initiating written texts. This study developed and tested a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model supported by the interactive digital application Qreatif Educative to improve Grade 1 students’ beginning writing skills. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach, the study followed sequential stages of needs analysis, information gathering, product design, expert validation, limited trial, field trial, and final revision. The research site was SDN 3 Sukamaju. Validators consisted of two content experts and two media experts. A small-group trial involved 7 students, followed by a field trial involving 16 students. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and pretest–posttest writing assessments. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically to capture usability feedback and implementation challenges, while quantitative data were analyzed descriptively using feasibility percentages and inferentially using a paired-sample t-test. The developed model and media were rated very feasible by experts, with content and media validation results reaching 88%. Student responses in the small-group trial indicated very positive usability and engagement, with an average feasibility score of 85.56%. Effectiveness testing in the field trial demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ beginning writing performance after implementation (paired-sample t-test, p = .000 < .05). Overall, integrating PjBL with Qreatif Educative provides a feasible and effective approach to strengthening beginning writing through structured projects, interactive practice, and guided feedback in early elementary classrooms

Faith-Based Justice: Understanding The Social Role Of Shrines And Pirs In Rural Sind, Pakistan
Full text linkThe present paper designed to study social, spiritual and political contributions of Dargahs (shrines) and Pirs (spiritual leaders) in the development of faith-based justice in rural Sindh, Pakistan. Using the frameworks of the legal pluralism theory and social capital theory, it uses mixed-method approach that is, combining surveys and discussions, and focus groups to examine how the shrine-based mediation serves as an informal system of justice. The results indicate that the shrine-based resolution is believed to be accessible, effective, and based on the religious legitimacy. However, it is also an expression of larger social inequalities, with women, as well as the lower castes, frequently being excluded when it comes to making decisions. In addition to this, the shrine networks are also a source of political influence and Pirs are able to use their religious power to influence and mobilize their supporters as well as influence the electoral process. The participants also highlighted the emotional relief and moral reassurance that shrine spaces offered, which is in contrast to the remote and bureaucratic state courts. Despite the absence of any legal validation, the rulings of the Pirs possess binding force but with moral obligation and godly responsibility and pressure. In general, the paper emphasizes the role played by religious authority in supporting decentralized jurisdiction and social stability in the postcolonial rural setting

THE EFFECT OF PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING ON EFL STUDENTS\u27 ACHIEVEMENT AND CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
Full text linkThis experimental study investigates the impact of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Apost-test). Statistical analyses, including independent and paired samples t-tests as well as a Two-Way ANOVA, revealed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in academic achievement, with a large effect size (η² = 0.21). Additionally, female students in the experimental group exhibited higher achievement scores compared to their male counterparts; however, the interaction between teaching method and gender was not statistically significant. These findings underscore the potential of PBL to enhance both academic outcomes and critical thinking abilities in EFL contexts, suggesting that active, student-centered instructional strategies may offer substantial benefits over traditional teaching methods
