DAMPAK TANGGUNG JAWAB KEPALA SEKOLAH TERHADAP PENGELOLAAN LEMBAGA PENDIDIKAN

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of principals’ responsibilities on the management of educational institutions from the perspectives of educational management and Islamic Religious Education (IRE). Principals serve as leaders of educational institutions who are responsible for directing, coordinating, implementing, and supervising all educational activities to ensure that institutional goals are achieved effectively. This research employs a library research method by reviewing various sources of literature, including books, scientific journals, and previous studies relevant to the topic. The findings indicate that principals’ responsibilities play a crucial role in improving teachers’ performance, enhancing the quality of learning processes, fostering a positive school culture, and increasing the effectiveness of educational management. From the perspective of Islamic Religious Education, principal leadership is not only associated with administrative duties but also encompasses moral and spiritual responsibilities as a trust (amanah) that must be carried out with integrity. The integration of Islamic values into educational leadership contributes to the development of students’ and school members’ noble character. Therefore, principals hold a strategic position in creating educational institutions that are effective, high-quality, and character-oriented.
