Abstract

This study aims to explore the practices and impact of transformational school leadership within the context of Indonesian education. Using a qualitative research design, the study employed semi-structured interviews with school principals, administrative staff, and teachers to gather in-depth insights into leadership behaviors, challenges, and outcomes. The data were analyzed using NVivo 12 software, following thematic coding techniques to identify recurring themes and relationships. The findings reveal that transformational leadership positively influences educational outcomes, school climate, and organizational effectiveness. Leaders who demonstrated clear vision, empathy, and the ability to motivate others contributed to enhanced student achievement, innovative teaching practices, and improved institutional performance. Despite these benefits, school leaders also face significant challenges, including limited resources, internal resistance, and external stakeholder constraints. However, these challenges can be navigated through strategies such as inclusive leadership, collaborative problem-solving, and investment in professional development. This study concludes that transformational leadership holds considerable promise for driving educational improvement and development in Indonesia. It underscores the importance of leadership training and policy support to cultivate leaders who can inspire change, adapt to contextual complexities, and build resilient school communities.

Abstract

Transformational educational leadership is pivotal in the advancement of Muhammadiyah Schools, which aim to promote empowerment and social change as Islamic educational institutions. This research investigates the practices and effects of transformational educational leadership within Muhammadiyah schools. Utilizing a qualitative approach, data were gathered through comprehensive interviews with principals, teachers, and staff from various Muhammadiyah schools in select regions. The analysis shows that transformational educational leadership in these schools is marked by a strong dedication to reinforcing Islamic identity, improving educational quality, and encouraging positive social change. School leaders serve as change agents, motivating and empowering staff and students to reach broader educational objectives. They employ inclusive and participatory methods, rooted in Islamic values, for decision-making and policy development. The effects of transformational educational leadership are evident in academic enhancement, character development, and the instillation of Islamic values-based character. Furthermore, fostering an inclusive and empowering school culture leads to harmonious relationships among the schools, students, teachers, and the community. This study offers a deeper insight into the role and practices of transformational educational leadership in Muhammadiyah schools. The practical implications highlight the necessity of bolstering leadership and credibility founded on Islamic values to improve educational quality and make meaningful societal contributions.
