Management of LPM Islamic Boarding Schools in Improving Quality of Community Education Case Study of Wahid Hasyim Islamic Boarding School, Sleman Yogyakarta

Abstract

The pesantren research related to the LPM in it is certainly very unique because Islamic boarding schools are very synonymous with activities that do not directly intersect with community education, especially in controlling and improving the quality of community education. This study aims to implement existing LPM management in Islamic boarding schools whose existence is very much needed by pesantren even though its implementation is expected from post-high school students by implementing management functions, both planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling. This research methodology uses a qualitative research approach. The data in this study were collected using observation and interviews with primary and secondary sources. The research results showed that the management of LPM in improving the quality of public education by management functions: (1) LPM in planning its activities involved community leaders of the assisted villages, either in monthly or annual meetings including in determining the planning of their religious activities; (2) LPM in organizing has prepared its members in the distribution of job descriptions, also involving ordinary members of LPM as encouragement in realizing the activities of the assisted villages; (3) LPM in connection with the actuating of village activities under its guidance grouping students or core LPM administrators in one room, developing human resources for teachers as well as a preacher so that they are ready to be deployed to their fostered community; and (4) LPM controlling the performance of the management as well as community activities that have been agreed with community leaders.
