MANAJEMEN PESERTA DIDIK DI LEMBAGA PENDIDIKAN ISLAM

Abstract

Student management is a core substance of educational management that determines the quality of educational processes and outcomes, including in Islamic educational institutions such as madrasah, pesantren, and integrated Islamic schools. This article critically examines the concept, scope, and practice of student management in Islamic educational institutions and identifies the gap between normative-theological discourse and its empirical management reality. This study employs a library research method with a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach. Data were collected from indexed journal articles, books, and policy documents obtained through Google Scholar searches, then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that conceptually, Islamic student management integrates planning, coaching, and evaluation functions with tarbiyah values; however, in practice it remains dominated by a partial administrative-bureaucratic orientation, lacks a broad empirical data basis, and is weak in measuring the success of character formation. This article concludes that a new conceptual framework is needed that integrates modern management principles (POAC) with Islamic values in a measurable, research-based manner rather than merely normative rhetoric.
