<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the planning, implementation, and evaluation of student management in developing student interests and talents through extracurricular activities at MAN 1 Makassar City. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach through field studies conducted from January to May 2026. Primary data were obtained through non-participatory observation and semi-structured interviews with the Principal, Deputy Head of Student Affairs, extracurricular supervisors, and active students, while secondary data were sourced from work program documents, attendance, and achievement reports. Data analysis was carried out interactively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Testing of data validity was guaranteed through tests of transferability, dependability, confirmability, and triangulation of methods, sources, and theories. The results of the study indicate that: (1) Student management planning is carried out systematically through annual work meetings that include the preparation of work programs, schedules, target determination, and integration of evaluation results from previous periods; (2) The implementation of activities is structured in accordance with the work program by actively involving all stakeholders to hone non-academic skills while simultaneously constructing the character of discipline, cooperation, and responsibility of students; (3) Evaluation is carried out in stages and continuously by the head of the madrasah, student affairs, and supervisors through direct monitoring instruments and Accountability Reports (LPJ). The results of this evaluation are converted as a database for the Follow-up Action Plan (RTL) to improve the quality of extracurricular management in the following period.]]>
