Abstract

Student research productivity can be an indicator of the success of the implementation of research-based education in madrasas. However, problems in optimizing research learning, as well as the lack of structural support from madrasas, still affect the level of student involvement in scientific research. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of research learning and madrasah support on student research productivity using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares approach. This study used a mixed-method method with data collection instruments using questionnaires distributed to 490 research-based madrasah students in Jakarta, selected using the cluster random sampling technique. The data collected was then analyzed using SEM-PLS to measure the relationship between research learning, madrasah support, and student research productivity. The validity and reliability of the measuring tool were measured using the Composite Reliability and Average Variance Extracted values. The originality of this research lies in the development of an integrative model to simultaneously analyze the role of research-based learning and madrasah support on student research productivity, especially in the context of madrasah education which has rarely been explored in previous research. The results showed that research learning had the most significant influence on student research productivity (β = 0.255, p < 0.001), while madrasah support had a smaller direct influence (β = 0.125, p = 0.006), but provided an indirect influence through research learning (β = 0.111, p < 0.001). These findings confirm that the synergy between research-based learning and madrasah support is an important factor in increasing the research productivity of madrasah students. The implication of this research is that madrassas need to improve the quality of research learning, provide easier access to research facilities, and strengthen networks with academic and industrial institutions. Understanding of research culture needs to be improved with seminars, journal publications, and research competitions. The study also highlights the importance of technology in improving the effectiveness of research learning.
