The Society 5.0 era demands a paradigm shift in education—including Islamic education—that can address disruptive challenges without eroding its identity. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework for quality management in Islamic education by integrating the principles of Education 5.0. Employing a qualitative approach through library research, it critically analyzes the points of convergence between the foundational values of Islamic education and the Education 5.0 framework. The study proposes the P–I–M–T (Philosophical–Infrastructural–Managerial–Technopedagogical) model as an integrative solution. The model emphasizes the integration of Islamic values (ihsan, itqan, muhasabah, mas’uliyyah) as the philosophical foundation (Philosophical); the strengthening of the digital ecosystem as enabling infrastructure (Infrastructural); the implementation of quality assurance systems and transformational leadership as managerial pillars (Managerial); and the development of an integrative curriculum and adaptive pedagogy grounded in an Islamic TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) perspective as the technopedagogical component (Technopedagogical). The findings affirm that this model addresses not only operational and technical challenges, but also serves as a cultural strategy to preserve Islamic identity while responding proactively to the demands of the digital era. Accordingly, the study contributes to strengthening the positioning and competitiveness of Islamic education within an increasingly dynamic global educational landscape.

This study aims to describe the implementation of the color-mixing experiment method in developing the cognitive abilities of Group B children at RA As-Sholeh Baron. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the implementation of the experimental method, using natural materials like dragon fruit and pineapple, was carried out through the stages of preparation, demonstration, direct practice, and discussion. This approach proved effective in developing children's cognitive abilities, particularly in recognizing primary and secondary colors, understanding cause-and-effect relationships, and communicating their findings. Key supporting factors included teacher competence and the availability of facilities, while time management and the need for meticulous preparation were identified as inhibiting factors. This study concludes that the color-mixing experiment method is an effective, contextual, and enjoyable alternative for developing early childhood cognitive abilities, in line with constructivist and cognitive development theories.

This article presents a systematic literature review to analyze strategies for strengthening the brand image of elementary education institutions in the digital era. The research background is rooted in the increasingly intense competition among institutions and the shifting behavior of parents as more critical consumers of education. This study aims to consolidate findings from various empirical studies to formulate a synthesis of effective strategies. The method used is a systematic literature review with the PRISMA protocol, in which ten journal articles indexed in SINTA 3 to 6 are analyzed thematically. The synthesis results reveal four main, interrelated strategic clusters: first, an integrated digital communication strategy through websites and social media as awareness amplifiers; second, a strategy based on direct experience and community, positioning parents and alumni as core brand ambassadors; third, a differentiation strategy through achievements and flagship programs as competitive differentiators; and fourth, a proactive reputation management strategy to maintain trust. The research conclusion affirms that sustainable brand image building requires a hybrid approach that authentically integrates digital narratives with substantive performance in the field, where the school community acts as an active co-creator. In practical terms, school administrators need to design integrated communication plans and institutionalize stakeholder engagement. This study recommends further research in the context of public schools and rural areas, as well as longitudinal studies to measure the impact of branding strategies on educational outcomes
