Abstract

This research aims to analyze and evaluate the implementation of visionary leadership in developing student character based on Islamic values ​​in elementary schools. The focus of this research is to understand how a school principal with a strong vision can influence the process of character formation in accordance with Islamic principles, as well as the impact of this leadership on student behavior. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with school principals, teachers and students, as well as through direct observation and analysis of documents related to school policies and character development programs. Data analysis was carried out descriptively with the aim of comprehensively describing the implementation of visionary leadership in the context of Islamic character development. The research results show that visionary leadership has a significant role in forming and directing character development programs based on Islamic values ​​in elementary schools. A visionary school principal is able to create a school culture that supports the consistent application of Islamic values, both through teaching and learning activities, extracurricular activities and daily interactions. Students under this leadership demonstrate an increase in the application of values ​​such as honesty, responsibility and respect. The conclusion of this research is that visionary leadership implemented effectively can be the key to success in character development based on Islamic values ​​in elementary schools. A school principal who has a clear vision and is able to translate it into concrete action can have a positive impact on the formation of student character in accordance with Islamic values.
