Barriers and Strategies of School Public Relations Management in Building Institutional Image and Public Trust: A Systematic Literature Review
Background In an increasingly competitive educational environment, schools are required to build a strong institutional image and maintain public trust. School public relations (PR) management plays a strategic role in shaping positive perceptions; however, many institutions still encounter structural and operational barriers that hinder effective implementation. Purpose This study aims to examine the strategies employed in school public relations management to strengthen institutional image and public trust, as well as to identify the key challenges that influence their effectiveness Method a qualitative approach was adopted using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The literature search was conducted systematically through Publish or Perish, focusing on articles published between 2021 and 2025. The selection process followed the PRISMA framework, encompassing identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion stages. Fifteen relevant articles were selected and analyzed in depth Results The findings reveal that effective PR strategies include optimizing social and mass media, strengthening stakeholder relationships, communicating flagship programs, and developing brand image and awareness. Nevertheless, implementation is constrained by limited human resources, low digital competencies, budget restrictions, negative public perceptions, and weak internal coordination and organizational support Contribution/value This study highlights that successful school public relations management relies not only on communication strategies but also on adequate resources, strong organizational support, and proactive leadership to ensure professional and sustainable PR practices

Digital Transformation in the Education Sector: The Role of MIS Integration in Driving Operational Efficiency and Competitive Advantage
The rapid digital transformation driven by Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0 has placed significant pressure on educational institutions to modernize their operations. While Management Information Systems (MIS) are widely recognized as essential for centralizing and streamlining institutional processes, many schools continue to rely on fragmented, siloed systems that limit efficiency and strategic impact. Previous studies have largely focused either on individual perceptions of technology use or on student outcomes, leaving a gap in understanding how MIS integration holistically influences institutional performance. This study addresses that gap by examining the integration of digital technologies within MIS and its impact on both operational efficiency and competitive advantage in the education sector. Using a qualitative, instrumental case study design, data were gathered from five Jakarta-based schools through interviews, observations, and document analysis. Findings indicate that moving from isolated systems to an integrated, cloud-based MIS enhanced efficiency across time, cost, and workflows, while also ensuring higher data accuracy and enabling evidence-based decision-making. These gains directly translated into stronger institutional reputation, improved stakeholder services, and greater organizational agility. Success was strongly supported by visionary leadership and comprehensive training, whereas resistance to change, technical glitches, and infrastructural limitations posed challenges. The study contributes a holistic, empirically grounded model that links MIS integration to both operational and strategic outcomes. By bridging theoretical potential with practical evidence, it offers valuable insights for educational leaders formulating digital transformation strategies.

Efforts To Improve Students’ Academic Performance Through Student Management During Blended Learning Implementation
This study aims to find out how to improve students' academic achievement during the implementation of blended learning in the era of the covid-19 pandemic. Blended learning has been implemented long before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, its implementation and implementation is not optimal. The beginning of the emergence of the pandemic made learning completely online. Currently, learning is slowly being carried out using blended learning, namely face-to-face and online. Online learning, which is used to be done at this time, has actually reduced students' academic achievement. In addition to declining academic achievement, students' motivation and interest in learning also decreased. This is because students feel bored with online learning that cannot meet face to face. The decline in academic achievement is also influenced by several factors including the lack of parental attention when students are learning, the internet network is not supportive, the learning environment is not conducive, the role of educators is less effective in managing the classroom, and the student management system is not good. Student management and collaboration and collaboration with parents are always applied in order to produce student outputs that are able to compete in global competition. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a literature study approach. Sources of data obtained are secondary data sources, where the information obtained comes from books, journals, and others.

Fostering Synergistic Collaboration: A Triple Helix Model for Integrating Educational Management, Digital Pedagogy, and Sharia Financial Literacy in Indonesian Islamic Economics Higher Education
Background The convergence of educational transformation, technological advancement, and the preservation of ethical values presents a significant challenge for higher education institutions, particularly in delivering Islamic economics education that remains faithful to its foundational principles amidst the Society 5.0 era. Purpose This study investigates the convergence of educational management strategies, technology-enhanced pedagogy, and Islamic economics principles within Indonesian higher education institutions to understand how digital transformation reshapes the pedagogical ecosystem of Islamic economics education. Design/method/approach Employing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design combining quantitative surveys (n = 387) and qualitative semi-structured interviews (n = 24) across six Islamic higher education institutions, the research examines the relationships between digital transformation and educational outcomes in Islamic economics. Results The quantitative findings reveal that technology-integrated educational management significantly predicts student learning outcomes in Islamic economics (β = 0.47, p < .001) and sharia financial literacy (β = 0.39, p < .001). Structural equation modeling indicates that digital pedagogical competence mediates 34.2% of the variance in student engagement with Islamic finance concepts. Qualitative thematic analysis identifies four emergent themes: institutional readiness for digital transformation; alignment of the curriculum with Islamic values and technological innovation; the role of learning management systems in fostering sharia-compliant understanding of financial matters; and stakeholder perceptions of technology-mediated Islamic economics instruction. Contribution/value The study proposes an integrative Triple Helix framework, Educational Management, Educational Technology, and Islamic Economics (EM-ET-IE), offering a novel theoretical contribution for designing sustainable, value-based digital learning ecosystems. These findings carry significant implications for policymakers, educational administrators, and curriculum designers seeking to reimagine Islamic economics education while preserving its foundational ethical principles.

Developing a Value Clarification Technique (VCT) Learning Model to Enhance Nationalism Attitudes of Elementary School Students: A Sustainable Educational Management Perspective
Background: The inadequacy of Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn) instruction, which remains predominantly cognitive and lecture-based, thereby limiting internalization of nationalistic values among elementary school students, constitutes the main problem addressed in this study. Purpose: This study aims to develop a Value Clarification Technique (VCT) learning model to enhance nationalistic attitudes among elementary school students. Design/method/approach: Using a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025, this study identified, selected, evaluated, and synthesized relevant findings on VCT implementation in primary education. Results: Results demonstrate that the VCT model effectively cultivates nationalist attitudes through five structured stages: value stimulus presentation, value exploration, discussion-based clarification, value-based decision-making, and reflection. This model promotes active student participation in value learning, producing deeper internalization of national character than conventional methods. Integration of contextual learning media within VCT further enhances student motivation and participation. Contribution/value: The novelty of this study lies in positioning VCT within a sustainable educational management framework and examining the interconnected roles of instructional leadership, teacher professional development, and strategic resource management in systematic character education. Implications for the Merdeka Curriculum’s Pancasila student profile are discussed.

Reconstruction of Charismatic Leadership Model in Islamic Education Based on Religious Moderation at Ash-Shiddiqiyah Serpong Islamic Boarding School
This study aims to reconstruct the charismatic leadership model in Islamic education based on religious moderation at Ash-Shiddiqiyah Serpong Islamic Boarding School. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with field study methods, collecting data through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving pesantren leaders, teachers, senior students, and organizational managers. Data analysis follows the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal three primary dimensions of reconstructed charismatic leadership: (1) moderate prophetic charisma integrating tolerance and national values, (2) value-based transformative leadership fostering collective change through moral exemplarity, and (3) adaptive educational governance accommodating diversity through curriculum flexibility and external collaboration. The study demonstrates that charismatic leadership in pesantren can be institutionalized beyond personal authority by embedding moderation principles into managerial systems and organizational culture. These findings contribute to contemporary Islamic leadership theory by proposing an integrative framework that harmonizes spiritual charisma with modern governance and religious moderation, offering a replicable model for Islamic boarding schools navigating pluralism and globalization.

Building Gen Z Entrepreneurial Motivation and Confidence in Bekasi through Social Media, Risk Perception, and Social Support
Background: The increasing interest in entrepreneurship among Generation Z, particularly in developing regions such as Bekasi, raises questions about the factors shaping their entrepreneurial motivation and confidence in the digital era. Understanding these influences is essential for fostering young entrepreneurs. Purpose: This study aims to examine the influence of social media, risk perception, and social support on the entrepreneurial motivation and confidence of Generation Z in Bekasi. Design/method/approach: A quantitative approach using path analysis was employed, involving 325 Generation Z respondents aged 18-29 years in Bekasi. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0. The analysis included outer model tests (convergent validity, discriminant validity, composite reliability, and Cronbach’s alpha), inner model tests (path coefficient and goodness of fit), and hypothesis testing. Results: The findings indicate that social support and risk perception have a direct and significant effect on entrepreneurial motivation, while social media does not. Entrepreneurial motivation also serves as a strong mediator, through which social support and risk perception indirectly influence entrepreneurial confidence. Contribution/value: This study contributes to the understanding of entrepreneurial behavior among Generation Z by highlighting the mediating role of motivation and the relative insignificance of social media, offering insights for educators, policymakers, and entrepreneurial programs targeting youth.

Islamic Helix Quintuple Model in Ecosystem Strengthening Child-Friendly Schools in Madrasah
Background This study examines the enabling factors behind successful Child-Friendly School (CFS) implementation in madrasah, a dimension often overshadowed in academic literature that predominantly documents barriers and failures. Purpose The purpose is to identify and analyze the enabling factors that support successful CFS implementation in madrasah. Design/method/approach Through a qualitative instrumental case study at MI An-Nizhamiyah Depok, data were gathered from in-depth interviews with 12 key informants, participatory observation, and document review, then analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's (2014) thematic framework with source, method, and theoretical triangulation. Results Two mutually reinforcing groups of enabling factors emerged: internal factors encompassing visionary school leadership, a rahmah-based organizational culture, an Islamic curriculum integrated with six CFS indicators, and a structured morning habituation program (Dhuha Prayer, Quranic recitation, tahsin-tahfidz) and external factors including Islamic foundation support, active parental participation, a Child-Friendly RT/RW ecosystem, the Depok Child-Friendly City (KLA) Nindya Category policy, and guidance from related government agencies. Contribution/value The central theoretical contribution of this study is the Islamic Quintuple Helix Model: an adaptation of Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff's (1995) Triple Helix that expands the actor base to five madrasahs, family, Islamic foundations, local Islamic community, and government bound together by Ukhuwah Islamiyah as the core social-spiritual capital. This model provides a contextual and replicable framework for other madrasah seeking to build resilient CFS ecosystems grounded in Islamic values.
