Abstract

This study aims to examine the strategies for managing educational facilities and infrastructure to improve the quality of teaching and learning activities at Modern Islamic Boarding Schools. Facilities and infrastructure play a crucial role in creating an effective, efficient, and conducive learning environment, thus their management needs to be carried out in a planned and systematic manner. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and then analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques.

The results indicate that the management strategy of facilities and infrastructure at the boarding school is implemented through several stages: (1) planning the needs of facilities and infrastructure based on the priority and urgency of learning activities, (2) procuring facilities and infrastructure in accordance with the school’s vision, mission, and potential, (3) routine maintenance and care to ensure optimal functionality, and (4) evaluation and development to keep the facilities and infrastructure relevant to the curriculum and the needs of students. The implementation of this strategy has a positive impact on the quality of teaching and learning, as evidenced by increased student participation, more effective learning processes, and the creation of a supportive educational environment.

In conclusion, an integrated management of facilities and infrastructure has been proven to enhance the quality of teaching and learning activities at Modern Islamic Boarding Schools. These findings can serve as a reference for Islamic educational institutions in optimizing the management of facilities and infrastructure to support the improvement of educational quality.
