Penguatan Kualitas Pembelajaran Melalui Inovasi Manajemen Mutu Pendidikan di STIT Tunas Bangsa Banjarnegara

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how innovation in educational quality management strengthens learning quality at STIT Tunas Bangsa Banjarnegara and to formulate a context-sensitive framework that can be adapted by similar Islamic private higher education institutions (PTKIS). The study used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving institutional leaders, program heads, lecturers, quality assurance staff, and students. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation by comparing statements among informants and cross-checking interview findings with observations and institutional documents. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman through data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that quality-management innovation was manifested in structured learning planning, Outcome Based Education (OBE)-oriented learning devices, periodic learning evaluation, academic supervision, lecturer development workshops, student satisfaction evaluation, and digital academic and learning systems. Because the study did not collect longitudinal quantitative scores, it does not claim a statistical increase. Instead, implementation is evidenced by measurable indicators: three documented forms of learning digitalization, one OBE-oriented planning mechanism, two evaluation mechanisms, and two monitoring mechanisms. The study proposes an I-MUTU PTKIS framework consisting of Identify, Integrate, Implement, Monitor, and Upgrade, with collaborative governance, adaptive digitalization, and resource sensitivity as cross-cutting principles. The framework offers a practical model that can be adapted by PTKIS with similar governance and resource conditions.
