Maqasid Syariah as a Framework for Public Administration in the Development of Science Education in Islamic Institutions

Abstract

The development of science education in Islamic institutions faces the challenge of integrating the demands of modernization and a commitment to Islamic values in educational management. This study aims to analyze how Maqasid Syariah is constructed and operationalized as a public administration framework in the development of science education, as well as how its application affects the structure, administrative processes, and educational policy cycles. The research uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory-critical case study design. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, then analyzed thematically through open, axial, and selective coding processes. The results show that Maqasid Syariah is institutionalized in strategic documents, organizational structures, quality assurance systems, educator competency development, and value-based evaluation indicators. This integration influences planning through the formulation of holistic objectives, implementation through ethics-based science learning, and evaluation through performance measurements that include cognitive and character dimensions. This study contributes to the development of a value-based Islamic public administration paradigm and offers an operational model for integrated and systematic science education governance.
