Abstract


Persaingan sekolah swasta urban dengan sekolah negeri menuntut strategi pemasaran yang mampu mengomunikasikan keunggulan layanan dan membentuk nilai bagi orang tua. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan model konseptual yang menghubungkan kualitas layanan pendidikan, diferensiasi sekolah, dan pemasaran digital dengan keputusan memilih sekolah melalui citra sekolah dan nilai yang dirasakan. Penelitian menggunakan sintesis literatur naratif terhadap sembilan artikel jurnal terbitan 2022–2025 berdasarkan kerangka Stimulus–Organism–Response, dilengkapi telaah eksploratif atas 103 respons survei dengan 30 indikator dalam enam konstruk. Hasil sintesis menghasilkan model utama enam konstruk dan dua belas proposisi mengenai pengaruh langsung, mediasi, dan moderasi pemasaran digital. Analisis jalur berbasis skor komposit menunjukkan sembilan dari sepuluh hubungan berkoefisien positif dan signifikan, sedangkan hubungan langsung kualitas layanan dengan nilai yang dipersepsikan tidak signifikan (β = 0,018; p = 0,851). Pola eksploratif tersebut mendorong usulan penambahan kesesuaian nilai religius dan kepercayaan merek sebagai konstruk model revisi. Namun, seluruh respons tidak memenuhi pertanyaan penyaringan populasi sasaran apabila pertanyaan itu digunakan sebagai kriteria inklusi; instrumen juga tidak mengukur diferensiasi dan pemasaran digital. Karena itu, temuan survei tidak digunakan untuk mengonfirmasi model. Penelitian ini menawarkan kerangka teoretis untuk perancangan strategi diferensiasi dan komunikasi digital sekolah swasta serta agenda pengujian empiris lanjutan.

Kata kunci: citra sekolah; diferensiasi sekolah; keputusan memilih sekolah; nilai yang dirasakan; pemasaran digital; sekolah swasta urban
