Implementation Of Islamic Education Quality Assurance In Improving The Quality Of Learning At Salafiyah Wustho Islamic Center Bin Baz Yogyakarta

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Islamic educational quality assurance in improving learning quality at Salafiyah Wustho Islamic Center Bin Baz Yogyakarta. Existing quality assurance studies largely emphasize institutional standards, academic supervision, teacher performance, and continuous evaluation, while limited attention has been given to quality assurance within integrated school-pesantren settings where formal education coexists with religious formation, Qur’anic learning, student supervision, and character habituation. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 participants, observations, and institutional documentation. The findings reveal three interconnected dimensions of Islamic educational quality assurance: collaborative quality management, continuous improvement, and holistic student development. Collaborative quality management is reflected in coordination among school leaders, teachers, halaqah supervisors, and the quality assurance unit. Continuous improvement is implemented through classroom supervision, periodic evaluation, teacher professional development, and follow-up activities. Holistic student development integrates academic learning with Qur’anic competence, religious habituation, discipline, and character formation. The novelty of this study lies in demonstrating that quality assurance in an integrated school-pesantren context extends beyond administrative compliance and academic achievement by connecting formal learning processes with continuous religious and character development within a unified quality system. The study contributes a context-sensitive perspective to Islamic educational quality assurance and suggests that Islamic educational institutions should develop collaborative and sustainable quality systems that simultaneously maintain academic standards and strengthen students’ religious, moral, and social development.
