Abstract

Character development and the cultivation of student responsibility are fundamental aspects of education. However, disciplinary practices in schools are still frequently implemented through punitive approaches that offer little opportunity for students to grow through self-awareness. This study aims to examine the implementation of positive discipline in fostering student responsibility at SMA Negeri 1 Kedamean and SMA Negeri 1 Manyar, two public senior high schools in Gresik Regency that have begun adopting more reflective and humanistic approaches to student development. This research employed a qualitative multi-site descriptive design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the implementation of positive discipline through the restitution triangle model and the use of positive reinforcement strategies has effectively developed students’ intrinsic awareness and sense of responsibility. These approaches have shaped students’ adherence to school rules and improved their social relationships. The study also indicates that positive discipline can be applied flexibly in accordance with the specific cultural and contextual characteristics of each school, and it serves as a meaningful and educative alternative to punitive character education. The different approaches used by each school reflect their adaptation to their respective cultural environments. Based on the results, this study recommends the need for teacher training, parental engagement, and the development of school-wide policies rooted in non-punitive disciplinary frameworks.

Abstract

Modern learning technology encourages the need for adaptive leadership in the school environment. This study aims to examine the role of the principal in implementing a Deep Learning-based curriculum, as well as the challenges and opportunities in resource management and teacher professional development. The research employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis will be carried out by condensing, reducing, displaying, and verifying data to identify key patterns related to leadership roles, challenges, and opportunities. The results reveal that the principal possesses a strategic vision of the importance of technology in education yet faces challenges such as general teacher training and limited funding. The implications of these findings highlight the need for more targeted and sustainable professional development programs and more effective resource management strategies to support the successful implementation of the Deep Learning curriculum. This study contributes to the literature on educational leadership and technology integration, offering recommendations for future research to explore these issues in broader school contexts, focusing on cross-regional or cross-level comparisons.

Abstract

Salaf-based Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia face increasing pressure to modernize their management systems while maintaining their traditional religious identity. This research aims to describe the implementation of management at the Salaf-based Islamic boarding school in improving the quality of students at Pondok Pesantren Zainul Hasanain Genggong. The approach used is qualitative with a descriptive case study design, where data were obtained through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques following the Miles and Huberman model to explore key themes in the application of traditional values in education. The research findings reveal that the management system in this Islamic boarding school is rooted in classical Islamic traditions, such as deliberative leadership (deliberation), moral exemplification by the kyai, and the yellow book learning model. These components collectively contribute to the development of students with strong religious character, self-discipline, and social awareness. However, challenges were found in the areas of limited professional management practices and infrastructure gaps. Despite this, the Islamic boarding school successfully fosters academic and non-academic excellence through structured guidance rooted in cultural-religious values. The implications of this research highlight the importance of value-based educational management that remains adaptive while preserving its identity within modern educational challenges.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of the principal in building student discipline through the reward-and-punishment approach in Islamic boarding schools. This study uses a qualitative approach of the phenomenological type, where researchers use interviews, observations and documentation. Data analysis is done through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The study results indicate that the principal not only carries out administrative functions but is also actively involved in students' transformative academic and character development. As an Instructional Leader, the principal fosters learning, provides supervision and builds a coaching system that integrates academics and discipline. In the role of Role Model, the principal’s exemplary attitude, discipline, and spirituality have proven effective in forming a positive culture collectively. As a Manager and Policy Maker, the principal designs a systematic reward and punishment policy based on Islamic boarding school values and is dialogical. Meanwhile, the role of a Motivator is carried out through a personal, affirmative, and inspirational approach that builds the spirit of teachers and students. The discussion results show that these four roles strengthen each other and contribute to forming an educational and sustainable disciplinary climate. This study provides implications regarding the importance of contextual, participatory, and humanistic principal leadership in managing value-based schools.

Abstract

School Activity Budget Planning (RKAS) is an important instrument in education management that aims to ensure the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process and the efficiency of fund use. In the context of school autonomy and demands for transparency, teacher involvement in the preparation of RKAS is crucial. However, low budget literacy and limited technical training are still obstacles in its implementation. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of the role of teachers in RKAS planning and analyze the contribution of principal leadership and management of supporting resources. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, through in-depth interview techniques, participant observation, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that teacher effectiveness in RKAS planning is influenced by the clarity of leadership vision, availability of infrastructure, and professional development programs. These findings emphasize the importance of collaboration and strengthening teacher capacity in creating participatory and sustainable education budget management.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and formulate an adaptive learning framework in Islamic-based character education integrated with child-friendly school leadership. The primary focus lies on how Islamic values—including aqidah, sharia, and akhlakul karimah—are internalized through a learning approach that is responsive to the individual needs of students, and managed in a leadership climate that supports child protection and participation. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a case study method at the madrasah. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies. The results of the study show four main findings: (1) the foundation of Islamic values ​​as the moral framework of the institution; (2) an adaptive learning approach that adapts to students’ learning styles and backgrounds; (3) child-friendly leadership practices that foster a sense of security and active involvement of students; and (4) a holistic evaluation that assesses academic and character development in an integrative manner. This study recommends the development of an Islamic character-based adaptive learning model, supported by a participatory and inclusive leadership culture, within the school environment.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy, lifestyle, and self-control on the financial management of university students. Employing a quantitative, causal-associative design, this study involved a sample of 100 students selected from a population of 764. Data were collected via a validated and reliable questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression after fulfilling all classical assumption tests. The findings reveal that financial literacy, lifestyle, and self-control each have a significant and positive partial effect on students’ financial management. The F-test confirmed that these variables have a significant impact simultaneously, explaining 61.2% of the variance in financial management. Among the three predictors, self-control emerged as the most dominant factor (β = 0.336), highlighting the critical role of psychological discipline. These results underscore the need for a comprehensive approach in higher education, where intervention programs should focus not only on imparting financial knowledge but also on fostering a planned lifestyle and strengthening students’ self-control. The study’s findings emphasize the importance of integrating financial literacy, lifestyle planning, and self-control into higher education curricula.

Abstract

This study aims to understand how the leadership strategy of the institution’s head can improve the quality of the Institute of Social Sciences and Development (LIPS). The focus is on how leaders manage members, build a vision that is open to all, and create an effective, flexible, and sustainable work system. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a case study method, to examine leadership practices in social and religious organizations in greater depth. Data were collected through direct interviews with the institution’s head and members, observations of organizational activities, and official documents owned by the institution. The study's results indicate that the most suitable leadership strategy for LIPS is a participatory and transformative leadership style. This means that leaders encourage cooperation, are open and transparent in communication, provide ongoing coaching, and involve all parties in the decision-making process. This approach has been proven to enhance program quality, foster a stronger work culture within the organization, and encourage active participation from members in achieving common goals. These findings suggest that leaders of social organizations should adopt leadership styles tailored to the field’s specific conditions and grounded in shared values, thereby ensuring the organization’s quality continues to improve comprehensively and sustainably.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the reconstruction of school and madrasah management through the integration of foundational values, the implementation of transformational leadership, and the advancement of curriculum innovation within the framework of 21st-century education. Employing an integrative literature review methodology, the study systematically analyzes 45 reputable scholarly publications published between 2019 and 2024. Literature selection was conducted through comprehensive searches in national and international academic databases, guided by criteria of thematic relevance, methodological rigor, and theoretical contribution. The findings underscore that the substantive reconstruction of educational management necessitates the synergy of three core dimensions: first, the internalization of character and spiritual values as the foundation for an ethical and visionary organizational culture; second, the paradigm shift in leadership from authoritarian-directive models to collaborative, inspirational, and empowering approaches; and third, curriculum innovation that is responsive to global challenges, local needs, and technological developments. The integration of these elements cultivates a dynamic, inclusive, and sustainable educational ecosystem. This study provides valuable insights for educational policymakers and leaders, suggesting that a holistic approach to school and madrasah management—anchored in character values, transformational leadership, and curriculum innovation—can drive sustainable improvements in educational outcomes.
