The Role of Teachers in Cultivating Leadership Values through the "Captain School" Activities at Salafiyah Elementary School in Pekalongan

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the role of teachers in instilling leadership values through the "Captain School" activities at Salafiyah Elementary School in Pekalongan. The problem addressed in this research is that students experience low self-confidence, dishonesty, fear of failure, selfishness, and irresponsibility, as indicated by the researcher's observations and interviews conducted at the school. This study is a qualitative research with a naturalistic approach. The research subjects are teachers and students at Salafiyah Elementary School in Pekalongan. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The validity of the data is tested using triangulation techniques. The data analysis technique employed is interactive analysis. The results of the research indicate that leadership values grow and develop due to the role of teachers in setting examples of attitudes and behaviors in everyday school life and in the delivery of materials during the "Captain School" activities. Students who have received materials during the "Captain School" activities will directly implement them in their respective classes by becoming daily class organizers and peer tutors in the classroom.
