Designing Evaluative Research for Improving Educational Quality in Islamic Education Institutions
Abstract
This study aims to examine the concept and design of evaluative research as a strategic approach to improving educational quality in Islamic education institutions. Evaluative research plays a crucial role in assessing the effectiveness, efficiency, and relevance of educational programs, policies, and practices. This study employs a qualitative approach through a literature review by analyzing various theoretical perspectives, evaluation models, and previous research findings related to evaluative research design. The results indicate that evaluative research design must be structured systematically, including the identification of evaluation objects, formulation of evaluation objectives, selection of appropriate evaluation models, development of indicators and instruments, data collection techniques, data analysis, and formulation of recommendations. Several evaluation models, such as the CIPP model, goal-oriented evaluation, and goal-free evaluation, are identified as relevant frameworks for assessing educational programs in Islamic education contexts. Furthermore, the study highlights that evaluative research in Islamic education is not only oriented toward technical and managerial aspects but also integrates normative values such as accountability, professionalism, and continuous improvement. A well-designed evaluative research framework can provide valid and reliable information to support evidence-based decision making and sustainable quality improvement in Islamic education institutions.
