Focus and Scope

The Journal of Management in Educational Practice focuses on critical issues facing Islamic educational institutions today. We publish high-quality research and insightful articles on topics that directly impact how these institutions are run, developed, and sustained. Our scope includes, but is not limited to, the following key areas:

Leadership and its Role in Shaping Educational Outcomes

This area explores how effective leadership—whether from principals, school administrators, or department heads—influences the overall performance of an institution. We are interested in studies on leadership styles, decision-making models, and how leaders can foster a culture of excellence, innovation, and ethical conduct.

Strategic Management and Planning

Strategic planning is vital for the long-term success of any institution. This topic covers how Islamic educational institutions can develop and implement strategic plans that align with both their core values and modern challenges. This includes managing change, setting future goals, and ensuring institutional sustainability.

Curriculum Development and Implementation

This area focuses on how curricula in Islamic schools and universities are designed, implemented, and evaluated. It includes the integration of religious values with modern academic subjects, the use of innovative teaching methods, and the creation of a curriculum that prepares students for both worldly success and spiritual growth.

Human Resource Management

People are the most valuable asset of any educational institution. This topic covers all aspects of human resource management, from effective staff recruitment and retention to continuous teacher development and professional training. We seek research on how Islamic values can inform and improve HR practices.

Financial Management and Sustainable Funding Models

Sound financial management is essential for stability. This area examines how Islamic educational institutions can effectively manage their finances, secure sustainable funding, and explore alternative financial models such as endowments (waqf) or other forms of charitable giving to ensure long-term viability.

Governance, Quality Assurance, and Institutional Accreditation

This topic addresses the systems and policies that ensure an institution's credibility and quality. It includes research on effective governance structures, internal quality assurance mechanisms, and the process of institutional accreditation. This is crucial for building trust with stakeholders and maintaining high standards in a competitive educational landscape.
