Abstract

This research is motivated by the low level of independence of pondok pesantren graduates in facing global competition. The aim of this research is to examine and analyze educational management in fostering the independent character of santri in pondok pesantren and to obtain an overview of planning, implementation, supervision, inhibiting factors and efforts to overcome obstacles. This research is based on management theory, character theory and Independence Theory. This research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach through observation techniques, interviews and documentation studies. The research results show that: (1) Planning has been carried out according to planning theory through curriculum and programs according to the pondok pesantren model, but has not been supported by pondok pesantren leadership policies and infrastructure resources. (2) Organizing has been carried out in accordance with organizing theory through stages carried out by Pondokpesantrenadministrators through deliberations of the Asatidz council and to divide teaching tasks and provide educational facilities and infrastructure, but the division of tasks and authority is not yet optimal.(3) Implementation has been carried out in accordance with implementation theory through socialization, coordination and motivation, but has not optimally increased the independent character of santri due to the lack of support from human resource competence. (4) Supervision has been carried out in accordance with supervision theory through direct observation and assessment, but has not been optimal because it is still focused on the core program. (5) Inhibiting factors include the lack of learning facilities and skilled professional staff. (6) Efforts to overcome obstacles through approaches, providing sanctions, expanding cooperation and raising funds. Educational management in fostering the independent character of santri in the pondok pesantren of Kebumen Regency, Central Java Province has been implemented according to management theory through the stages of planning, organizing, implementing and supervising according to the curriculum and programs developed by each pondok pesantren, but has not optimally increased the independence of santri because it is still hampered by pondok pesantren leadership policies and resource support.
