## PENDAHULUAN
Pendidikan adalah isu penting bagi individu dan masyarakat, dengan kualitas sekolah yang dapat ditingkatkan melalui manajemen strategi yang efektif (Rifuddin et al., 2020). Salah satu  strategi  melibatkan  pemberdayaan  kepala  sekolah  dan  madrasah  dalam  pengambilan keputusan serta mendorong partisipasi pendidik dan anggota masyarakat untuk meningkatkan rasa  kepemilikan  dan  akuntabilitas.  Penilaian  kualitas  sekolah  bersifat  holistik,  mencakup kemampuan sekolah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pemangku kepentingan serta menyelaraskan praktik  pendidikan  dengan  standar  kualitas  sambil  memperhatikan  kebutuhan  siswa  dan masyarakat (Collings et al., 2023).
SOCIAL: Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan IPS Vol. 4 No. 1 Maret 2024 E-ISSN : 2797-8842 P-ISSN : 2797-9431
Rifuddin et al. (2020) menekankan pentingnya mengukur kualitas pendidikan melalui indikator pencapaian nyata, terutama kinerja akademik siswa yang tercermin dalam rapor dan nilai  kelulusan,  serta  menjunjung  tinggi  integritas  dan  kejujuran.  Manajemen  mencakup perencanaan,  pelaksanaan,  dan  pengawasan  kegiatan  untuk  mencapai  tujuan  organisasi (Yaakob et al., 2019). Manajemen strategis menggabungkan seni dan sains dalam merumuskan, melaksanakan, dan memantau keputusan organisasi, bertujuan menyelaraskan kinerja dengan tujuan organisasi (Ramdhan & Syafe’I, 2019).
Proses manajemen strategis meliputi perencanaan strategis, implementasi strategi, dan evaluasi  strategi,  yang  membentuk  landasan  tata  kelola  organisasi  (Rifuddin  et  al.,  2020). Dalam pendidikan, strategi sekolah penting sebagai kerangka kebijakan untuk meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan. Arcaro menyoroti paradigma Kualitas Sekolah, yang memberikan otonomi substansial  kepada  lembaga  pendidikan  dalam  kerangka  kebijakan  pendidikan  nasional, menekankan  pentingnya  keterlibatan  masyarakat  untuk  menumbuhkan  kepemilikan  dan akuntabilitas.  Manajemen  mutu  adalah  mekanisme  penting  untuk  meningkatkan  kinerja  di semua aspek operasi organisasi.
Delapan standar pendidikan nasional berfungsi sebagai katalis untuk mengubah lanskap pendidikan, mencakup input, output, proses, dan hasil untuk menyelaraskan praktik pendidikan dengan  tujuan  pengembangan  akademik.  Dengan  menerapkan  standar-standar  ini,  lembaga pendidikan dapat meningkatkan hasil pendidikan dan menciptakan lingkungan kondusif untuk pengembangan  siswa  holistik  dan  keunggulan  akademik.  Kualitas  beresonansi  dalam masyarakat  dan  lingkungan,  mencerminkan  prestasi  diri  terutama  dalam  keberhasilan akademik, yang berkontribusi pada reputasi sekolah (Khilji et al., 2022).
Kualitas  memainkan  peran  penting  dalam  membentuk  persepsi  dan  menumbuhkan kepercayaan dalam komunitas dan pasar, meningkatkan daya saing produk dan layanan serta menumbuhkan  kepercayaan  dan  loyalitas  konsumen.  Pendidikan  berkualitas  melampaui prestasi akademik untuk mencakup pengembangan holistik siswa sesuai harapan masyarakat. Namun,  implementasi  optimal  pendidikan  agama  masih  menjadi  tantangan  (Kumar  et  al., 2022).
Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah menyelidiki dan mengevaluasi strategi manajemen strategis  yang  digunakan  kepala  sekolah  untuk  meningkatkan  kualitas  pendidikan  karakter Islam,  dengan  fokus  pada  perencanaan,  implementasi,  dan  evaluasi  inisiatif  manajemen strategis  dalam  konteks  pendidikan  karakter  Islam  (Sabaruddin  et  al.,  2022;  Solichin  et  al., 2021).

## Strategi Manajemen Kepala Sekolah dalam Meningkatkan Pendidikan Karakter Islam 1) Strategi Efisiensi Struktur Organisasi
Strategi konsep ini berkontribusi untuk meningkatkan kapasitas individu untuk berpikir kritis  dan  analisis,  mendorong  pertumbuhan  kecerdasan  tambahan  mereka,  dan  memelihara pengembangan  warga  negara  yang  bertanggung  jawab  dalam  kerangka  prinsip-prinsip pendidikan  Islam.  Selain  itu,  pendidikan  Islam  menggarisbawahi  pentingnya  belajar  melalui pemecahan  masalah.  Sangat  penting  untuk  menumbuhkan  keterampilan  interpersonal  untuk
meningkatkan  kinerja  tim,  yang  meliputi  peningkatan  kemampuan  komunikasi, mengembangkan  kemampuan  beradaptasi  yang  lebih  besar  dalam  memproses  informasi, memenuhi kewajiban dengan sungguh-sungguh, dan mengasah keterampilan yang diperlukan untuk upaya pasca-pendidikan (Han et al., 2022), (Fan, 2023), dan (Mentor, 2021).

## 2) Strategi Dinamika Kemampuan Manajemen
Transformasi adalah suatu proses di mana terjadi perubahan budaya organisasi menuju tujuan yang diinginkan di masa depan, merupakan upaya struktural dalam menerapkan strategi atau  visi  untuk  mengarahkan  orang,  tim,  dan  organisasi  (Baltabayeva  et  al.,  2020).  Bagian integral  dari  manajemen  strategis  adalah  pemilihan  tujuan  jangka  panjang  dan  pendek,  visi masa  depan,  misi,  dan  pencapaian  hasil  yang  signifikan,  yang  menjadi  titik  awal  dari transformasi  yang  efektif  (Marathe  et  al.,  2020).  Manajemen  dipandang  sebagai  alat  untuk mengelola  perusahaan  secara  efektif  dan  efisien,  mulai  dari  perencanaan  hingga  evaluasi, dengan tujuan memastikan pencapaian target dan tujuan yang telah ditetapkan (Budiharso et al., 2022). Konfigurasi manajemen disesuaikan dengan lingkup organisasi, persaingan, tujuan yang  ditetapkan,  dan  alokasi  sumber  daya  yang  tersedia  (Dias,  2018).  Dengan  menerapkan manajemen  strategis  yang  baik,  organisasi  dapat  mempertahankan  visi  jangka  panjang  dan meningkatkan kinerja orang-orang di dalamnya.

## 3) Objektivitas Hubungan Jangka Panjang
Dalam manajemen strategis pendidikan untuk mempertahankan tujuan jangka panjang, fokus  utama  adalah  pada  penciptaan  program-program  inovatif.  Administrasi  sekolah  harus terus mengevaluasi dan meningkatkan efektivitas program yang ada sebagai respons terhadap hasil evaluasi (Dias, 2018). Langkah ini tidak hanya menjamin kelangsungan hidup lembaga, tetapi  juga  mempersiapkan  mereka  untuk  menghadapi  tantangan  masa  depan  dengan  solusi yang terukur dan adaptif (Solichin et al., 2021). Implementasi rencana baru untuk meningkatkan kompetensi  dan  efektivitas  dalam  pengambilan  keputusan  menjadi  kunci  dalam  mencapai tujuan dan hasil yang diinginkan. Strategi organisasi  menetapkan tujuan jangka panjang dan mengalokasikan  sumber  daya  yang  tepat  untuk  mencapainya,  dengan  manajemen  strategis memainkan peran penting dalam memastikan kontrol yang efektif dan efisien terhadap seluruh proses perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi kegiatan organisasi (Marathe et al., 2020).

## Strategi dalam Menindaklanjuti Adanya Kritik Dan Saran atau Umpan Balik
Dalam konteks strategi manajemen pendidikan untuk  mempertahankan tujuan jangka panjang,  penting  untuk  menciptakan  program-program  inovatif  yang  dapat  terus  diperbaiki berdasarkan evaluasi kinerja yang terukur (Dias, 2018). Langkah ini tidak hanya mengamankan kelangsungan hidup lembaga dengan merencanakan masa depan yang terstruktur, tetapi juga memungkinkan penyelesaian yang tepat  waktu  terhadap tantangan yang  muncul (Solichin et al., 2021). Implementasi rencana baru untuk meningkatkan kompetensi dan efektivitas dalam pengambilan  keputusan  menjadi  kunci  dalam  mencapai  hasil  yang  diinginkan,  dengan manajemen  strategis  berperan  dalam  mengelola  proses  pelaksanaan  dan  evaluasi  untuk memastikan pencapaian tujuan jangka panjang (Marathe et al., 2020).

## KESIMPULAN
Manajemen  strategis  dalam  konteks  pendidikan  Islam  menuntut  proses  pengambilan keputusan  yang  cermat  dan  didasarkan  pada  prinsip-prinsip  inti  Islam,  dengan  fokus  pada tujuan  yang  telah  ditetapkan.  Konsep  "massa  kritis"  yang  diperkenalkan  oleh  Rifuddin  dkk. (2020) menggambarkan pentingnya membangun tim kecil yang memiliki semangat, bakat, dan pemahaman yang mendalam untuk memajukan kaliber dan produktivitas institusi. Kolaborasi
dan tujuan bersama, seperti yang ditekankan oleh Collings dkk. (2023), juga dianggap krusial dalam  meningkatkan  pembelajaran  efektif  dalam  pendidikan  Islam.  Namun,  upaya  ini  harus diimbangi  dengan  pelatihan  manajemen  strategis  yang  tidak  membebani  guru,  sebagaimana perhatian  Ramdhan  &  Syafe'i  (2019).  Manajemen  sumber  daya  manusia  juga  harus  sejalan dengan nilai-nilai Islam untuk memastikan produktivitas dan kepuasan, seperti yang ditekankan oleh Rais dkk. (2022) dan prinsip optimalisasi sumber daya manusia yang disoroti oleh Miron et al. (2021). Akhirnya, pengembangan berkelanjutan dalam sumber daya manusia pendidikan Islam,  sebagaimana  disoroti  oleh  Khilji  dkk.  (2022)  dan  Kumar  dkk.  (2022),  menjadi  kunci untuk  melestarikan  kebudayaan  karakter  Islam  dalam  sistem  pendidikan  mendasar  yang dipimpin oleh kepala sekolah.
Setelah melakukan kajian literatur yang sistematis, terbukti bahwa manajemen strategis memainkan  peran  penting  dalam  pengembangan  pendidikan  Islam,  khususnya  bagi  kepala sekolah.  20  artikel  jurnal  yang  diidentifikasi  menekankan  pentingnya  proses  pengambilan keputusan  strategis  yang  berakar  pada  prinsip-prinsip  Islam.  Manajemen  strategis  dalam pendidikan  Islam  melibatkan  memelihara  budaya  kerja  sama,  tujuan  bersama,  dan pembelajaran  berkelanjutan  dalam  lembaga  pendidikan.  Kepala  sekolah  perlu  fokus  pada pengembangan  pemikiran  kritis,  meningkatkan  kinerja  tim,  dan  menyelaraskan  praktik manajemen dengan nilai-nilai Islam.
Manajemen strategis ini tentunya memerlukan memprioritaskan pelatihan guru dalam manajemen dan perencanaan strategis, sementara juga memastikan bahwa pertimbangan beban kerja diperhitungkan. Selain itu, pengembangan sumber daya manusia, termasuk guru, disorot sebagai  hal  yang  penting  untuk  mempertahankan  kualitas  dan  efektivitas  pendidikan  Islam. Dengan  mengintegrasikan  kearifan  tradisional  dengan  pendekatan  inovatif,  kepala  sekolah dapat  menciptakan  model  manajemen  holistik  yang  mempromosikan  keunggulan  akademik sambil  menjunjung  tinggi  prinsip-prinsip  Islam  berdasarkan  beberapa  elemen  yaitu  struktur organisasi  yang  optimal,  kemampuan  manajerial  yang  dinamis,  pencapaian  tujuan  jangka panjang yang berkelanjutan, dan umpan balik yang responsif.
