KEBIJAKAN KEPALA SEKOLAH DALAM PENGELOLAAN EKSTRAKURIKULER PENCAK SILAT PAGAR NUSA DI SD NEGERI 1 PALAPA
Abstract
This research is motivated by differences in the leadership effectiveness of the Pagar Nusa Pencak Silat extracurricular mentors in two schools with different social and cultural contexts. The urgency of this research lies in the importance of understanding how differences in the leadership styles of extracurricular mentors influence organizational effectiveness and student character development in different cultural contexts. The research used a qualitative approach with a multi-site study design. The researcher acted as the primary instrument, collecting data through interviews, observation, and documentation. Analysis was conducted interactively through data reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions validated by source triangulation. The results show that the mentor's leadership plays a crucial role in determining the direction, effectiveness, and sustainability of Pagar Nusa activities. At Darul Falah Integrated Junior High School, the mentor applies a participatory-visionary leadership style that is adaptive to technology and urban culture. The strategy focuses on student empowerment, collaboration, and the integration of character values and school culture, thereby increasing motivation and achievement. In contrast, at An-Nidhomiyah Islamic Junior High School, the mentor applies an authoritarian-spiritual leadership style rooted in the religious values and culture of Islamic boarding schools. The strategy emphasizes discipline, morality, and religious cultural practices such as tahlil, suwuk, and informal communication with spiritual nuances to strengthen students' emotional bonds and Islamic values
