<![CDATA[Discipline culture is an effort implemented by Islamic boarding schools to develop students’ independent character through rules, habituation, guidance, and supervision. This study aims to determine: (1) the implementation of discipline culture at Dormitory C of Matholi’ul Anwar Islamic Boarding School; (2) the process of developing students’ independent character through the implementation of discipline culture; and (3) the supporting and inhibiting factors in implementing discipline culture to develop students’ independent character This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the caregivers, administrators, and students of Dormitory C of Matholi’ul Anwar Islamic Boarding School. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that: (1) the implementation of discipline culture was carried out through the application of rules, daily habituation, as well as guidance and supervision by caregivers and administrators; (2) the process of developing independent character occurred gradually, from students who initially still needed direction and reminders to becoming accustomed, developing self-awareness, being able to carry out activities independently, and taking responsibility for their obligations; and (3) the supporting factors included cooperation among caregivers, administrators, room leaders, and students, awareness of time, and a positive peer environment, while the inhibiting factors included difficulties in managing time, students’ personal personal conditions, and negative peer influence. Thus, discipline culture implemented consistently supports development of students’ independent character]]>
