Reconstructing Entrepreneurship Management in Islamic Educational Institutions through Digital and Experiential Learning Approaches

Abstract

Abstract:

Entrepreneurship education has become increasingly important for Islamic educational institutions in responding to digital transformation, graduate employability challenges, and the demand for value-oriented human resources. However, entrepreneurship education is often implemented in a fragmented manner, with limited integration between management systems, digital technology, experiential learning, and Islamic values. This study aims to analyze existing entrepreneurship management practices and reconstruct a value-based entrepreneurship management model through digital and experiential learning approaches. The research employs a qualitative case study method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving school leaders, teachers, program coordinators, and students. The findings reveal that entrepreneurship management is fragmented across curricular and extracurricular programs, lacks systematic coordination, and is not positioned as a strategic institutional priority. Digital tools are mainly used for administrative purposes, while experiential learning activities are conducted without structured digital support or reflective evaluation. Furthermore, Islamic values are acknowledged normatively but are not operationalized as guiding principles in entrepreneurship planning, implementation, and assessment. As a result, entrepreneurship education functions more as an activity-based program rather than a holistic learning ecosystem. This study recommends the adoption of a value-based reconstruction model that integrates Islamic values, character building, experiential learning, and digital technology to enhance the effectiveness, coherence, and sustainability of entrepreneurship education in Islamic educational institutions.
