REKONSTRUKSI FILOSOFI BUDAYA SEKOLAH: IMPLEMENTASI KEPIMPINAN DEMOKRATIK BERBASIS SYURA MENGGUNAKAN MODEL LEWIN DALAM PERSPEKTIF ISLAMIC WORLDVIEW

Abstract

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the school principal in transforming school culture from the perspective of Islamic educational thought. The approach used is qualitative descriptive with the subject being the principal of MI Nurul Islam Labruk Kidul Lumajang. The results indicate that the principal's leadership style is not merely administrative management, but rather the implementation of tauhid values and khalifah (stewardship). The democratic leadership style applied is positioned as an embodiment of the syura (deliberation) principle that upholds human dignity. The process of cultural transformation using the Lewin model (Unfreeze, Change, Refreeze) is interpreted as a spiritual endeavor towards taqdir (self-awareness) and the formation of habits ('ibadah). These findings show that democratic leadership is capable of creating a harmonious organizational climate and integrating science and religion in curriculum management. In conclusion, visionary educational leadership is a strategic key to reconstructing an Islamic school culture that is noble and resilient amidst modernization.
