Keywords:
school culture, religious traditions, madrasah, value degradation, educational managementAbstract
Purpose – School culture plays a crucial role in shaping student character; however, many educational institutions—particularly madrasahs—face challenges in maintaining religious traditions amid the pressures of globalization and shifting social values. This study aims to analyze the strategies for implementing school culture to strengthen religious traditions in madrasahs.
Design/Method – Using a qualitative approach, this study employs literature review and direct observation methods to examine how religious values can be integrated into madrasah environments.
Findings – The results suggest that religious values can be optimized through collaborative learning designs, a school environment that visualizes religious symbols and student achievements, and a team-based management system involving all stakeholders. Five strategic approaches are identified: integrating religious values into classroom instruction, habituating positive values in daily activities, implementing religiously oriented extracurricular programs, engaging students in community-based religious practices, and utilizing school facilities to sustain religious values. The study concludes with practical recommendations for madrasahs to systematically reinforce religious traditions through structured school culture models.
