Model Manajemen Pengembangan Diri Santri Berbasis Poac untuk Keunggulan Karakter

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze and formulate a POAC-based management model
for pesantren students’ self-development oriented toward character excellence at
Pesantren Terpadu Almuslim, Bireuen Regency. The study responds to the need for
pesantren to manage students’ self-development not merely as routine extracurricular
activities, but as an integrated character-building system supported by planning,
organizing, actuating, and controlling. A qualitative approach with a case study design
was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory
observation, and documentation studies involving pesantren leaders, teachers, dormitory
supervisors, student organization administrators, and parents. Data were analyzed through
reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, while validity was ensured through source
and technique triangulation. The findings show that planning was based on the
pesantren’s vision, mission, Islamic values, and student development needs, although
measurable character indicators were not fully documented. Organizing involved leaders,
teachers, supervisors, student administrators, and parents, but supervisor placement still
required competency-based mapping. Actuating was implemented through habituation,
role modeling, and active participation in worship, dormitory life, extracurricular
activities, social programs, and leadership training. Controlling was conducted through
tiered monitoring, guidance, evaluation, rewards, and sanctions, although character
assessment instruments still needed standardization. The study concludes that the POACbased model is integrative, participatory, and contextual in shaping religiosity, discipline,
independence, responsibility, leadership, and social awareness. Pesantren are advised to
strengthen program documentation, supervisor competency mapping, reflective activities,
and standardized character evaluation instruments. Future researchers may test the model
quantitatively in other pesantren contexts to examine its effectiveness, scalability, and
empirical contribution to broader character excellence sustainably.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis dan merumuskan model manajemen
pengembangan diri santri berbasis POAC yang berorientasi pada keunggulan karakter di
Pesantren Terpadu Almuslim Kabupaten Bireuen. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi
kebutuhan pesantren untuk mengelola pengembangan diri santri bukan sekadar sebagai
kegiatan rutin atau ekstrakurikuler, melainkan sebagai sistem pembinaan karakter yang
terintegrasi melalui planning, organizing, actuating, dan controlling. Penelitian
menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan
melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan studi dokumentasi yang
melibatkan pimpinan pesantren, guru, pembina asrama, pengurus organisasi santri, dan
wali santri. Analisis data dilakukan melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan
kesimpulan, sedangkan keabsahan data dijaga melalui triangulasi sumber dan teknik.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perencanaan berbasis pada visi, misi, nilai Islam,
dan kebutuhan pembinaan santri, meskipun indikator capaian karakter belum
terdokumentasi secara lengkap. Pengorganisasian melibatkan pimpinan, guru, pembina,
pengurus santri, dan wali santri, namun penempatan pembina masih memerlukan
pemetaan kompetensi. Pelaksanaan dilakukan melalui pembiasaan, keteladanan, dan
partisipasi aktif dalam ibadah, kehidupan asrama, ekstrakurikuler, kegiatan sosial, dan pelatihan kepemimpinan. Pengawasan berjalan melalui monitoring berjenjang,
pembinaan, evaluasi, penghargaan, dan sanksi, tetapi instrumen evaluasi karakter masih
perlu distandardisasi. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa model POAC bersifat integratif,
partisipatif, dan kontekstual dalam membentuk religiusitas, disiplin, kemandirian,
tanggung jawab, kepemimpinan, dan kepedulian sosial. Pesantren disarankan
memperkuat dokumentasi program, pemetaan kompetensi pembina, kegiatan reflektif,
dan instrumen evaluasi karakter terstandar. Peneliti selanjutnya dapat menguji model ini
secara kuantitatif pada pesantren lain untuk menilai efektivitas, keterukuran,
keberlanjutan, dan kemungkinan replikasinya dalam pengembangan karakter santri
secara lebih luas di berbagai konteks pendidikan Islam modern masa kini.
