Abstract

Background. This research is based on the problem of teacher and student discipline at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Ma'had Al-Zaytun, which, despite having strict rules and a clear vision, still shows low participation and awareness of intrinsic discipline.

Methods. In fostering a culture of discipline and increasing school residents' involvement, using descriptive qualitative methods such as observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. This study analyzes the leadership practices of school principals in the natural context of madrasas.


Result.

Transformational leadership has been shown to work in an integrated way to foster discipline as an internal value, not just formal compliance.
