Manajemen Mutu Mahad Aly Berbasis Asesmen Majelis Masyayikh dalam Menjamin Keberlanjutan Lulusan (Studi Kasus di Mahad Aly Hasyim Asyari Tebuireng Jombang)

Mutu pendidikan pada Ma’had Aly menghadapi tantangan dalam menjaga relevansi lulusan di tengah perkembangan kebutuhan masyarakat dan dunia kerja. Meskipun Asesmen Majelis Masyayikh telah menjadi instrumen penting dalam penjaminan mutu Ma’had Aly, kajian empiris yang menjelaskan bagaimana hasil asesmen tersebut diimplementasikan dalam sistem manajemen mutu dan berdampak pada keberlanjutan lulusan masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis implementasi manajemen mutu berbasis Asesmen Majelis Masyayikh dalam menjamin keberlanjutan lulusan di Ma’had Aly Hasyim Asy’ari Tebuireng Jombang. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan studi dokumentasi terhadap Mudir Ma’had Aly, Dewan Masyayikh, Tim Pengembang Pesantren, Gugus Mutu, dosen, serta dokumen mutu lembaga. Analisis data dilakukan melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan, sedangkan keabsahan data dijaga melalui triangulasi sumber dan teknik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa manajemen mutu dilaksanakan melalui integrasi penjaminan mutu, pengendalian mutu, dan tinjauan manajemen dalam siklus PPEPP (Penetapan, Pelaksanaan, Evaluasi, Pengendalian, dan Peningkatan). Sistem mutu tersebut didukung oleh asesmen Majelis Masyayikh, audit mutu internal, evaluasi kompetensi lulusan, tracer study, dan penguatan jejaring alumni. Implementasi sistem mutu berkontribusi terhadap keberlanjutan lulusan yang ditunjukkan melalui keberlanjutan studi, keterlibatan dalam dunia kerja, serta kontribusi sosial-keagamaan di masyarakat. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa mutu Ma’had Aly tidak hanya tercermin dari pencapaian predikat Mumtaz, tetapi juga dari kemampuan menghasilkan lulusan yang adaptif, kompeten, dan berkelanjutan.

Quality Management of Mahad Aly Based on the Majelis Masyayikh Assessment in Ensuring Graduate Sustainability (a Case Study at Mahad Aly Hasyim Asy’ari Tebuireng Jombang)

Abstract

The quality of education in Ma’had Aly institutions faces challenges in maintaining graduate relevance amid evolving societal needs and labor market demands. Although the Majelis Masyayikh Assessment has become an important instrument for quality assurance in Ma’had Aly, empirical studies explaining how assessment outcomes are translated into quality management practices and contribute to graduate sustainability remain limited. This study aims to analyze the implementation of quality management based on the Majelis Masyayikh Assessment in ensuring graduate sustainability at Ma’had Aly Hasyim Asy’ari Tebuireng Jombang. The research employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving the Director of Ma’had Aly, the Dewan Masyayikh, the Pesantren Development Team, the Quality Assurance Unit, lecturers, and institutional quality documents. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that quality management is implemented through the integration of quality assurance, quality control, and management review within the PPEPP cycle (Determination, Implementation, Evaluation, Control, and Improvement). The quality system is strengthened through the Majelis Masyayikh Assessment, internal quality audits, graduate competency evaluations, tracer studies, and alumni network development. The implementation of this quality management system contributes to graduate sustainability, as reflected in graduates’ continuation of higher studies, participation in professional careers, and contributions to socio-religious activities within society. These findings indicate that the quality of Ma’had Aly is reflected not only in achieving the Mumtaz accreditation status but also in its ability to produce adaptive, competent, and sustainable graduates.
