School Culture Management in Improving the Quality of Student Learning

Abstract

This study examines how schools strategically manage culture—beyond routine practices—to internalize noble values and consistently enhance the quality of learning amid modern challenges. Using a descriptive qualitative approach (observation, in-depth interviews, documentation), it analyzes planning, implementation, and evaluation of school culture grounded in Achmad Sanusi’s six-dimensional value system (theological, ethical-legal, aesthetic, logical-rational, physical-physiological, and teleological). Findings show that effective culture management makes this value system a reference for individual and organizational attitudes, mindsets, and actions: theological values foster spiritual motivation; ethical-legal values build discipline and confidence; logical-rational and teleological values improve management quality, work performance, school effectiveness, and accountability. The study concludes that school culture management, rooted in a comprehensive value foundation, creates a conducive environment for the sustainable realization of the educational vision and mission.
