Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the leadership strategies of the principal in improving the quality of academic services at Madrasah Aliyah Kholafiyah Hasaniyah, Probolinggo Regency, Indonesia. The research was motivated by the urgency of effective school leadership, especially in rural Islamic educational institutions, to enhance academic excellence through transformative and contextual approaches. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method using a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the school principal, vice principal for curriculum, five teaching staff, one school committee representative, and two students, as well as observations and documentation analysis. The findings reveal that the principal applied transformational leadership strategies, emphasizing moral example, collaborative decision-making, mentoring-based teacher development, and the integration of educational technology. A participatory leadership style fostered a positive school climate, strengthened collective commitment, and encouraged pedagogical innovation among teachers. Moreover, the school committee played an active role in strategic academic planning and community engagement. In conclusion, leadership strategies grounded in Islamic values, clear institutional vision, and collaborative governance significantly contribute to sustainable improvements in academic service quality. This research provides practical and theoretical implications for developing leadership models in Islamic educational institutions, particularly in rural settings.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the forms of student behavior management in schools and to explore how educational institutions transition from reactive disciplinary practices to positive, supportive approaches. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate five main strategies employed by teachers: stern reprimands, standing punishments, cleaning tasks, verbal appreciation, and praise. The first three represent traditional, reactive disciplinary methods that effectively manage immediate classroom disruptions but have limited impact on fostering long-term behavioral awareness. In contrast, verbal appreciation and praise reflect the initial implementation of positive reinforcement, promoting students’ confidence, responsiveness, and cooperation. The imbalance between punishment and reward practices highlights the lack of structured behavior management policies and the need for systematic educational management. The study concludes that schools are gradually shifting toward a more humanistic and proactive approach to behavior management. The implications emphasize the importance of clear written guidelines, teacher training to enhance competence in positive disciplinary strategies, and the development of a supportive school culture that integrates social-emotional learning and leadership principles to strengthen overall classroom management.
