Manajemen Kepala Madrasah Dalam Menumbuhkan Sikap Keberagamaan Santri Di MA DDI Cambalagi

Abstract

Abstract:

This study aims to describe and analyze the principal’s management strategies in fostering students’ religious attitudes at MA DDI Cambalagi, Maros Regency. This research employed a qualitative method with a survey approach and descriptive analysis. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, vice principals for curriculum and student affairs, homeroom teachers, and administrative staff. The findings reveal that the principal carries out managerial functions systematically, including planning, organizing, directing, supervising, and evaluating. Religious programs such as congregational prayers, Qur’an recitation (tadarus), short sermons (kultum), Charity Fridays (Jumat Beramal), and the habituation of Islamic manners serve as essential instruments in shaping students’ religious character. The students’ religious attitudes are reflected in their discipline in worship, noble character, and high social awareness. These findings affirm that the principal’s management plays a strategic role in creating a religious, collaborative, and spiritually nurturing school environment that sustainably develops students’ religious character.
