Abstract

The madrasah principal occupies a strategic position in the formation of pupil character, yet accounts of how a discipline strategy is actually enacted in an elementary madrasah remain scarce. This study examines the strategies the principal applies to improve pupil discipline at MI Raudlatul Munadhirin Paiton, the way those strategies operate in the daily routine, and the obstacles they encounter. A qualitative descriptive case study was conducted through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, with the principal as primary informant supported by the vice principal, teachers, and pupils, and with source triangulation, technique triangulation, and member checking applied to the material. Five strategies were identified: personal example modelled on prophetic leadership principles, a personalised approach to individual pupils, dissemination of rules to pupils and families, recognition of disciplined conduct, and reporting of misconduct to parents. These are enacted through attendance taking before lessons, monitoring by a teacher team across the grounds and beyond school hours, and consistent application of reward and sanction, which together sustain a visible culture of discipline. Intervention by parents constitutes the main obstacle, addressed through open communication and discussion forums. The reported decline in misconduct rests on interviews and observation rather than on official records, so it is presented as an early indication and the madrasah is advised to institute a violation register.
