Digital based Madrasas: The Strategy to Improve the Quality of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Performance

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to analyze the internal and external factors that contribute to improving the quality of Islamic elementary schools’ performance in Probolinggo Regency, East Java, Indonesia. This is field research using the descriptive analysis method. Data was obtained from observation, interviews, and documentation. The collected data was processed and analyzed through the IE, IFE, and EFE matrices. The results of this study indicate that the internal factors of three Madrasah Ibtidaiyah are powerful and can overcome their weaknesses in improving the quality of digital-based madrasa performance. In addition, the three Madrasah Ibtidaiyah have relatively high opportunities to overcome challenges and is very responsive in improving the quality of digital-based madrasa performance. Furthermore, alternative strategies are formulated through SWOT analysis to improve the performance quality of digital-based madrasah by implementing intensive strategies through market penetration and product development. Madrasah Ibtidaiyah can penetrate the market more proactively using the IDN Network PortDi (Digital Portal) in carrying out digital-based madrasa performance. The research also suggests that the product development (madrasa’s administration and finance) can increase the professionalism of education staff in digital-based madrasah performance.
