Abstract

This article examines the Ethical Leadership of Madrasah Principals in Shaping the Social Character of Teachers and Students in Madrasah Tsanawiyah through the perspective of educational institution sociology. The main focus of the article is directed at the claim that the ethical leadership of madrasah principals shapes the social character of madrasah members through role modeling, consistency of rules, and a culture of collective responsibility. Field research needs to be conducted in schools, madrasahs, or pesantrens that empirically demonstrate social practices related to this issue. Primary data can be gathered through observation of the madrasah principal as a model of discipline, trustworthiness, and communicativeness; interviews with involved educational actors; and documentation of policies, programs, and institutional practices. Three dimensions of evidence that need to be examined are the madrasah principal as a model of discipline, trustworthiness, and communicativeness; teachers imitating the leadership patterns of the madrasah principal in guiding students; and madrasah policies emphasizing manners, responsibility, and social care. Using a qualitative approach, this article aims to show how social relations, institutional norms, educational authority, and the experiences of students/teachers/parents shape everyday educational practices. The article's contribution does not stop at a case description but also aims to build a theoretical argument about how educational institutions function as social arenas that produce trust, identity, discipline, solidarity, and social change. The findings obtained are expected to enrich the discussion of Islamic education sociology in Indonesia and offer recommendations for strengthening the governance of educational institutions based on field data.
