Misperceptions of Leadership in Education Management in the Metaverse Era

Abstract

Management of education in the metaverse era has created misperceptions among madrasah leadership. This is indicated by some of the madrasah leadership being able to manage education in line with a code of professional ethics, and some others experiencing misperceptions about their professionalism. In addition to mapping the forms of misperception in education management, the general objective is also to analyze the reasons for misperceptions among madrasah leadership. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods to explore primary and secondary data sources. Secondary data comes from madrasah educational institutions. The primary data includes profiling, motivation, types of difficulties, and solutions taken by the leadership for each difficulty they experience in managing education. The results of the study can conclude that there are misperceptions in the management of education in the metaverse era due to the difficulty in the leadership position in responding to the latest education management system. The difficulty of this response determines the occurrence of misperceptions among the leadership. Thus, this study also suggests the need for further research by examining comparative aspects regionally and based on varied data in order to resolve leadership misperceptions in overcoming difficulties in managing education in the metaverse era.
