Implementasi Teknologi Informasi Dalam Meningkatkan Efisiensi Administrasi di MA Miftahul Ulum Mukomuko

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation process of information technology in improving administrative efficiency at MA Miftahul Ulum Mukomuko and to identify the supporting factors behind its success. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. Data sources were gathered through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the school principal, administrative staff, and teachers as primary informants. The data analysis technique was carried out through data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions, while data validity was ensured using method triangulation. The results show that the implementation of information technology at MA Miftahul Ulum Mukomuko has been executed effectively, particularly through the application of an IT-based midterm/interim report card system (raport bayangan). This system succeeded in enhancing administrative efficiency, accelerating the grade processing time, minimizing data entry errors, and improving the transparency of academic information. The success of this implementation is supported by adequate technology infrastructure, competent human resources, and strong managerial support from the school administration. Thus, the implementation of information technology in school administration at MA Miftahul Ulum Mukomuko can be categorized as a best practice with the potential to be replicated in other schools.
