Enhancing the Child-Friendly Madrasah Program: Evaluating Implementation and Leveraging Intelligent Systems for Effective Educational Environments

Abstract

The Child-Friendly Madrasah Program aims to establish a safe, clean, healthy, and environmentally conscious learning environment while protecting children from violence, discrimination, and mistreatment. Evaluating program implementation is crucial for ensuring effectiveness. This study explores the implementation of the Child-Friendly Madrasah Program in Elementary Islamic Schools (MIN) across Lampung Province, Indonesia, focusing on leveraging Intelligent Systems to enhance program efficiency and effectiveness. Research objectives include identifying contextual factors, analyzing resource allocation, evaluating methodologies, and assessing program impacts, particularly the role of Intelligent Systems in achieving objectives. Using a mixed-methods exploratory sequential design, this research validates instruments through content validity and correlation tests, ensuring data validity through triangulation techniques. Analysis methods, aligned with the CIPP model evaluation framework, involve qualitative and quantitative approaches. Findings show successful program implementation in Lampung Province, evidenced by evaluation results across CIPP stages. While the Context, Input, Process, and Product stages show satisfactory achievements, there’s room for further enhancement. The program achieved a 73% success score, indicating effective implementation. Recommendations emphasize continued support and investment to maximize the program’s effectiveness in creating a conducive learning environment and safeguarding children’s rights.
