Peningkatan mutu pendidikan menjadi prioritas utama di semua lembaga pendidikan. Demikian pula di lembaga pendidikan Islam yang sementara berproses menjadi lembaga pendidikan yang memiliki kualitas setara dengan lembaga pendidikan lain bahkan menjadi lembaga pendidikan yang berkualitas tinggi. Untuk mencapai hal tersebut, maka upaya terus dilakukan oleh lembaga pendidikan Islam. Salah satu upayanya adalah dengan menerapkan berbagai teori dan konsep manajemen mutu agar kualitas pendidikan dapat terjaga dan diakui sebagai lembaga pendidikan yang menjalankan proses dengan baik dan menghasilkan output yang baik. Ada beberapa konsep peningkatan mutu/kualitas yang dikemukakan para ahli seperti Edward Deming dan Joseph Juran yang berkaitan dengan  perencanaan mutu, pengendalian dan peningkatan mutu. Kajian ini akan membahas tentang beberapa konsep mutu dan relevansinya pada lembaga pendidikan Islam dalam menjawab tantangan pendidikan global.Kata Kunci: mutu, lembaga pendidikan, Edward Deming dan Joseph Juran

This paper reports the synthesis of two-dimensional, hierarchical, porous, and (001)-faceted metal (Ag, Zn, and Al)-doped TiO 2 nanostructures (TNSs) and the study of their photocatalytic activity. Two-dimensional metal-doped TNSs were synthesized using the hydrolysis of ammonium hexafluorotitanate in the presence of hexamethylenetetramine and metal precursors. Typical morphology of metal-doped TNSs is a hierarchical nanosheet that is composed of randomly stacked nanocubes (dimensions of up to 5 μm and 200 nm in edge length and thickness, respectively) and has dominant (001) facets exposed. Raman analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicated that the Ag doping, compared to Zn and Al, much improves the crystallinity degree and at the same time dramatically lowers the valence state binding energy of the TNS and provides an additional dopant oxidation state into the system for an enhanced electron-transfer process and surface reaction. These are assumed to enhance the photocatalytic of the TNS. In a model of photocatalytic reaction, that is, rhodamine B degradation, the AgTNS demonstrates a high photocatalytic activity by converting approximately 91% of rhodamine B within only 120 min, equivalent to a rate constant of 0.018 m –1 and ToN and ToF of 94 and 1.57 min –1 , respectively, or 91.1 mmol mg –1 W –1 degradation when normalized to used light source intensity, which is approximately 2 times higher than the pristine TNS and several order higher when compared to Zn- and Al-doped TNSs. Improvement of the crystallinity degree, decrease in the defect density and the photogenerated electron and hole recombination, and increase of the oxygen vacancy in the AgTNS are found to be the key factors for the enhancement of the photocatalytic properties. This work provides a straightforward strategy for the preparation of high-energy (001) faceted, two-dimensional, hierarchical, and porous Ag-doped TNSs for potential use in photocatalysis and photoelectrochemical application.

The quality of education in an educational institution will be greatly influenced by the potential of educational institutions and the governance system. The existing potential must be optimized to support quality improvement. Likewise, the education governance system will develop well when it is implemented through a good system by professional managers. The system has been designed in detail by the government which was stipulated by the Minister of National Education Regulation No. 19 of 2007 concerning "Education Management Standards by Primary and Secondary Education Units". This regulation was prepared by the government to regulate a good, balanced and sustainable governance system.The problem is determined to what extentthe ability of educational institutions to optimize the potential of the institution and optimizing inputs, processes, outputs and outcomes, starting from planning, organizing, actuiting, and controlling. This paper will discuss the improving educational quality through optimizing the potential of educational institutions in Indonesia in order to achieve shared ideals for a better educational future.

However the policy has not explicitly put forward peace education as an effort to maintain the harmony of national diversity. Therefore the education of peace should be put forward to strengthen the development of the heterogeneous of Indonesian character.

The focus issue in this discussion is how the urgency of fostering religious values in public life heterogeneous in Indonesia and how to provide guidance in religious values in public life heterogeneous in Indonesia ?. The purpose of this study was to describe the urgency of fostering religious values in public life heterogeneous in Indonesia and to provide guidance in religious values in the life of a heterogeneous society in Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that the Indonesian people have an emphasis in terms of harmony in the lives of its people. This can be seen in the first principle of Pancasila that Almighty God. Therefore, development of religious values in public life Indonesia is considered very important. Formation of religious values can be reached through religious education to reinforce faith in the truth of religion and its values. In addition, the formation of religious values do habituation through worship that is manifested in the behavior of everyday life. Fostering religious values also need to be supported by the appreciation of the values of religion since from the family, school and community.Keywords: building, value, religious, heterogeneous.

The implementation of character education based on religious moderation for children should begin from the beginning at a golden age, because early childhood is the right time to provide a moderate character foundation in accordance with Islamic values, especially in muslim minority communities or communities. This study examines the implementation of character education based on religious moderation in early childhood, especially in kindergarten/RA Manado city which is a muslim minority area as well as factors that affect it.. This study uses a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were obtained by observation, interview, and documentation. The results showed that the implementation of character education based on religious moderation in early childhood in minority areas is focused on three aspects, namely: 1) Strengthening of Aqidah; 2) Moral/Akhlak Education; and 3) Fostering Value of Tolerance. These three focuses are implemented through learning, habituation and role models. Factors that influence of the child's character building is environmental factors, teachers, support from parents and school committees, and the foundation support. AbstrakImplementasi pendidikan karakter berbasis moderasi beragama pada anak harus dimulai sejak awal pada usia emas, karena usia dini adalah masa yang tepat untuk memberikan landasan karakter moderat yang sesuai dengan nilai-nilai Islam, khususnya di daerah atau lingkungan masyarakat minoritas muslim. Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang implementasi pendidikan karakter berbasis moderasi beragama pada anak usia dini khususnya di TK/RA Kota Manado yang merupakan daerah minoritas muslim serta faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya.. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Teknik Pengumpulan data diperoleh dari observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi pembelajaran moderasi beragama pada anak usia dini di daerah minoritas difokuskan pada tiga aspek yaitu: 1) Penguatan Aqidah; 2) Pendidikan Akhlak; dan 3) Pembinaan Nilai Toleransi. Ketiga fokus ini diimplementasikan melalui program pembelajaran, pembiasaan dan pemberian teladan. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pembentukan karakter moderat pada anak yaitu: faktor lingkungan, faktor guru, dukungan orang tua dan Komite sekolah serta pihak Yayasan.
