Digital Transformation of Laboratories, Micro Research Hub, Institutional Co-Creation, Interdisciplinary Epistemology, Data-Driven GovernanceAbstract
This study develops a religious laboratory management system to transform traditional practicum-based laboratories into micro-research hubs that support research-based learning in Islamic higher education. It bridges the gap between current laboratory practice and the need for collaborative research that integrates lecturers, students, and external partners. Focusing on laboratories in the Faculty of Sharia and Law and the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya, it formulates a management model to boost research productivity and academic collaboration. This research uses a qualitative case study approach, drawing on data from institutional documents, educational statistics, and interviews with laboratory managers, lecturers, and students. Data collection involved document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and limited observation. This study uses thematic analysis to integrate laboratory management theory, collaboration and co-creation frameworks, and Islamic epistemology, and validates the data through source triangulation and document verification. The study identifies three pillars of an effective laboratory management system: a digital ecosystem via SaTePrada for research and laboratory management, structured collaboration with external institutions for authentic data and professional feedback, and accountable governance through standard operating procedures, performance indicators, and research mentoring. Together, these components enable laboratories to operate as micro-research hubs, strengthening student engagement and a collaborative academic culture. The study is limited to laboratories within two faculties of a single institution. This research introduces an integrated model that connects laboratory management systems with micro-research hubs to strengthen research ecosystems in Islamic higher education.
