STRATEGI KEPALA SEKOLAH DALAM MEMBENTUK SIKAP RELIGIUS SISWA DI SMK TERPADU AL-ISHLAHIYAH SINGOSARI

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the principal's strategy in shaping students' religious attitude at SMK Terpadu Al-Ishlahiyah Singosari. This research uses a qualitative case-study (field research) approach. Data were collected through interviews with the principal and the vice-principal for student affairs, observation of religious activities, and documentation of school archives and activity programs. Data analysis was carried out through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, with data validity obtained through source and technique triangulation. The results show that the principal's strategic planning is carried out systematically based on the school's vision, mission, and objectives through an annual work meeting, producing religious programs such as morning worship (ubudiyah), congregational dhuha and dzuhur prayers, Madrasah Diniyah, girls' activities (keputrian), Friday prayer, the Worship Competency Requirement (SKU), a compulsory boarding program, and commemorations of Islamic holidays. Implementation runs routinely and continuously, with the principal applying an exemplary-leadership strategy such as leading congregational prayers and cultivating the 3S culture (smile, greet, and salute), supported by cooperation with teachers and parents. Evaluation is carried out systematically through daily evaluation, monthly coordination meetings, semester evaluation, incidental-activity evaluation, and annual work meetings. Overall, the principal's planned and consistent strategy contributes to increasing students' worship discipline, responsibility, and noble character (akhlakul karimah).
