Abstract

Technological development is constant and rapid. These changes involve not only communication, the economy, or the health field but also education. To overcome these issues, school leaders are required to equip themselves with the knowledge of the digital field. Therefore, this study explores the challenges or issues that school leaders face. In order to achieve the goals of this study, the data were collected by applying a qualitative method using a case study approach through semi-structured interviews. Two school leaders participated in the interview session.  Thematic analysis was used to sort out the data in order to determine the themes. This study found that the issues in school leaders’ digital leadership are lack of knowledge, inability to use data for school planning, lack of computers and devices for teaching and learning activities, and lack of engagement. The implication of this study is to make education stakeholders, such as school leaders, aware of the importance of digital leadership in school.

Abstract

Underrepresentation of women still occurs in the top-level management of higher education, including in State Islamic Higher Education (SIHE/PTKIN) in Indonesia, a country with the largest Muslim population in the world. This study aims to reveal the portrait of women's underrepresentation in the top-level management of SIHE, the determinant factors that cause the underrepresentation of women in the top-level management of SIHE, and the policies that need to be taken in response to the underrepresentation of women in top-level management of SIHE. A qualitative approach was chosen for this study by collecting data using interviews and document reviews. It objectively shows the inequality between women and men in top-level management. Men still dominate strategic positions such as rector, vice-rector, and dean. This inequity is caused by qualification barriers of female lecturers, patriarchal culture, and gender-biased religious understanding. This inequity has an impact on the slow realization of gender-responsive campuses. Thus, through the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the Government must make affirmative policies to accelerate women's representation at the management level of SIHE so that more women occupy the positions of rector, vice-rector, and dean.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of academic administration services, including Responsiveness, Assurance, Tangibility, Empathy, and Reliability (RATER), on student satisfaction at one of the State Islamic Religious Universities in East Java, Indonesia. A quantitative approach with an associative research type was used in this research. Sampling was conducted using a proportional random sampling technique, resulting in a sample of 109 students. Data was collected through a questionnaire tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression tests. The research results show that academic administration services, which include the RATER dimension, simultaneously influence student satisfaction. However, only three variables have a partial influence: responsiveness, assurance, and tangibility. These findings imply that improving the quality of academic administration services based on the RATER dimensions is needed to increase student satisfaction. This shows the potential for improving academic administration services in higher education, focusing on critical aspects such as Responsiveness, Assurance, Tangibility, Empathy, and Reliability (RATER) to increase student satisfaction and institutional reputation.
