Abstract

Education not only aims to impart knowledge, but also to develop students' potential, character, independence, and social skills. One approach that supports this goal is Student-Centered Learning (SCL), which places students as the main subjects in the learning process. This approach has a strong connection with Ki Hadjar Dewantara's thinking regarding education as a process of guiding children according to their nature and potential. This article aims to describe the implementation of SCL, analyze the role of teachers, and examine its relevance to the principles of Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha, Ing Madya Mangun Karsa, and Tut Wuri Handayani. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation at MAN 2 Model Medan. The results of the study indicate that teachers act as facilitators, guides, motivators, role models, and companions. Teachers provide space for students to ask questions, discuss, express opinions, explore information, solve problems, and develop their potential independently. The application of Ki Hadjar Dewantara's principles has proven relevant to the needs of students in the digital era, as long as the freedom to learn is accompanied by direction, responsibility, and character building.
