TANTANGAN KEPALA SEKOLAH/MADRASAH DALAM MENGIMPLEMENTASIKAN KURIKULUM BERBASIS CINTA DI MAN 1 OKU Selatan
Abstract
This study aims to identify and analyze the challenges faced by the
school/madrasah principal in implementing the Love-Based Curriculum (Kurikulum
Berbasis Cinta/KBC) at MAN 1 OKU Selatan. KBC is an educational approach that
places compassion (rahmah) as the primary foundation of the learning process, in
alignment with Islamic educational values that emphasize the formation of noble
character. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with a case study
design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal of MAN 1
OKU Selatan, non-participatory observation, and document analysis. Data analysis
used the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). The findings
indicate that KBC implementation at MAN 1 OKU Selatan has proceeded on a solid
conceptual foundation, supported by the transformational leadership of the principal.
However, four main dimensions of challenges were identified: (1) resistance and
uneven understanding among educators regarding the KBC paradigm; (2)
limitations in facilities, infrastructure, and funding; (3) the diversity of student
backgrounds requiring a differentiated approach; and (4) administrative burdens
that diminish time available for pedagogical leadership. This study recommends
strengthening teacher professional development programs, optimizing institutional
partnership networks, and utilizing information technology in school administrative
management.
