Implementation of Ecological Systems Theory in Strengthening the Role of Family, School, and Community in Islamic Educational Institutions

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory in strengthening family, school, and community roles within Islamic educational institutions in Jambi City. Employing a qualitative instrumental case study, the research analyzes the interplay of nested environmental systems. Findings reveal that the microsystem family religious routines, teacher-mentors provides a foundational moral framework. A robust mesosystem, characterized by strong family-school collaboration, is critical for reinforcing values. The exosystem local policies and macrosystem shared Islamic values create a coherent, supportive environment, demonstrating a synergistic relationship that holistically supports student development
