Abstract

This study aims to analyze the conceptual framework of strategic control in Islamic education management, explore how control is integrated within the strategic planning cycle, and identify influencing factors and implementation challenges. A qualitative library research approach was employed, analyzing articles published between 2021 and 2026 from Google Scholar, Garuda, SINTA, and Scopus databases using thematic content analysis. The findings reveal that management control in Islamic education operates across three interconnected levels: philosophical-normative, structural-procedural, and operational-technological. At the philosophical-normative level, control is understood as part of religious accountability (amanah) grounded in values such as hisbah, ihsan, and amanah. At the structural-procedural level, control is manifested through internal audits, periodic monitoring and evaluation, and quality assurance systems integrated within the strategic planning cycle. At the operational-technological level, control is implemented through management information systems enabling real-time monitoring and evidence-based decision-making. Effectiveness is influenced by strategic leadership, organizational culture rooted in Islamic values, and stakeholder participation. Key challenges include qualitative output measurement, goal ambiguity, policy-implementation gaps, and complexity of causal relationships between managerial interventions and educational outcomes. The study contributes an integrative framework bridging strategic management perspectives with the distinctiveness of Islamic education, emphasizing that control cannot be reduced to conventional management techniques but requires understanding of spiritual, cultural, and ethical dimensions
