Implementation of Strategic Management to Achieve Curriculum Goals and Targets at Min 1 Jembrana

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of strategic management at MIN 1 Jembrana and evaluate its impact on the quality of education. As an Islamic educational institution, the madrasah plays a strategic role in shaping outstanding generations who integrate religious and general knowledge. The success of the madrasah in achieving its educational goals heavily depends on the effective application of strategic management. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out using Miles & Huberman’s interactive model, which includes data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that MIN 1 Jembrana implements six main stages in its strategic management: formulating vision and mission, analyzing internal and external environments, setting goals and strategies, implementing strategic policies, and regularly evaluating the achievement of the madrasah's goals and the curriculum targets set at the beginning of the academic year. The implementation of these strategies has contributed to increased student academic achievement, strengthening character based on Islamic values, and enhancing the madrasah’s competitiveness in the formal education system. This study concludes that effective strategic management plays a crucial role in improving the quality of madrasah education. Recommendations from this study include the need to improve technology-based infrastructure, strengthen extracurricular programs, and conduct continuous evaluations to ensure the applied strategies remain relevant to current developments. In the context of the curriculum, strategic management enables the madrasah to proactively design, implement, and evaluate learning programs oriented toward learning outcomes, character building, and overall education quality improvement.
