Educational Accreditation, Islamic Education Quality, Total Quality ManagementAbstract
Educational accreditation plays a strategic role in ensuring the quality of educational institutions; however, in practice, it remains largely administrative and focused on meeting documentation requirements and thus has not yet had a significant impact on substantive quality improvement. This challenge is further complicated in Islamic education, which emphasizes quality not only in academic aspects but also in spiritual, moral, and Islamic values. This study aims to examine Total Quality Management (TQM) as a framework for implementing Islamic education accreditation from the perspective of Rusydi Ahmad Thu’aimah. The study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review through content analysis of Thu’aimah’s thoughts on al-jawdah al-syāmilah as well as relevant literature on TQM and education accreditation. The results of the study indicate that the integration of TQM principles with the concept of al-jawdah al-syāmilah produces a holistic accreditation framework oriented toward continuous improvement and the strengthening of a culture of quality. This framework integrates the academic, managerial, and spiritual dimensions in a balanced manner. Thus, accreditation functions not only as an evaluation instrument but also as an integral part of a sustainable Islamic education quality management system oriented toward comprehensive quality development.
