Abstract

Digital transformation has become an urgent necessity for madrasas in improving the quality of Islamic education amid the rapid advancement of technology. However, various national reports indicate that the implementation of digitalization in many madrasas still faces significant challenges, including low teacher competence, limited infrastructure, and the absence of leadership capable of directing the change process regularly. This study aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the strategies employed by madrasah principals in managing digital transformation as an effort to enhance technology-based learning quality. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, relying on secondary data such as scholarly articles, policy reports, and official documents from relevant educational institutions. The findings reveal that the success of improving technology-based learning quality highly depends on visionary and adaptive leadership, particularly in digital planning, teacher capacity building, infrastructure provision, digital learning culture development, and the implementation of data-driven monitoring and evaluation. This study emphasizes that technology becomes effective only when managed through strategic leadership capable of integrating digital innovations into madrasa governance in a sustainable manner.
