Transformasi Mutu Pendidikan Islam melalui Integrasi Total Quality Management dan Nilai-Nilai Keislaman

Improving educational quality is a strategic challenge for Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia. This study aims to identify the concepts, implementation practices, supporting and inhibiting factors, and contributions of Total Quality Management (TQM) to educational quality improvement. This qualitative study employs a literature review method by analyzing books and national and international scholarly articles published between 2020 and 2025 using content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that TQM implementation in madrasahs, Pesantren, integrated Islamic schools, and Islamic higher education institutions can improve institutional governance, educators’ professionalism, learning effectiveness, quality culture, and stakeholder satisfaction. Its successful implementation is supported by visionary leadership, human resource development, and continuous evaluation, while the main challenges include limited funding, inadequate competencies, and resistance to change. This study contributes to the development of a conceptual framework for TQM implementation integrated with Islamic values to achieve sustainable quality improvement in Islamic educational institutions.
