Managerial Performance of Principals in an Integrated Education System on Character Building of Students

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the principal's managerial performance, the Integrated Education System results, and the constraints in implementing the program. The method used is qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews and documentation studies. The research subjects were the principal and the Integrated Education System teacher for tahfizh and diniyah. The results showed that the principal's managerial performance in implementing the Integrated Education System is related to implementing the learning schedule, ensuring the availability of teachers, supervising the program, and evaluating the program. Another managerial form by the principal is holding regular meetings with Integrated Education System teachers to discuss the process, achievement of results, and obstacles teachers face. From the results of the Integrated Education System, it can be concluded that it is true that students at SMP Negeri 1 Peukan Bada have increased character, as shown by changes in politeness, mutual respect, and tolerance. However, character development is still in the stage of the development process, considering that the Integrated Education System is still relatively new in schools.
