Abstract

Leadership is an ability or power in a person to lead and influence others in work, where the goal is to achieve the targets that have been determined. One of the leadership concepts in education is Ki Hadjar Dewantara's leadership. This leadership concept uses the among system where educators play a role: ing ngarso sung tulodho, ing madya mangun karso, and tut wuri handayani. This study aims to examine Ki Hadjar Dewantara's leadership in schools in depth through a literature review of 15 national journal articles published between 2021 and 2025.. The Results of theĀ  literature review show that the principles proposed by Ki Hajar Dewantara remain relevant and important to be applied in the context of modern education in Indonesia. In the school element, Ki Hajar Dewantara placed the teacher as the central figure in the philosophy of education. A leader also cannot simply encourage and direct the behavior of its members to be in accordance with organizational values (tut wuri handayani), but the leader must also be able to provide a real example of how organizational values have been embedded in him (ing ngarsa sung tuladha). While setting an example, the leader must also communicate the values to his/her members, and motivate them to act in line with the values (ing madya mangun karsa). This study recommends the importance of leadership training for school principals and teachers to encourage the implementation of Ki Hadjar Dewantara's leadership to sustainably address the challenges of education in the modern era.
