Komunikasi Sibernatik dalam Pembentukan Karakter Disiplin Santri di Pondok Pesantren Keresek Garut

Abstract

This study aims to describe the role of cybernetic communication in shaping the disciplinary character of students at Keresek Islamic Boarding School, Cibatu, Garut Regency. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the head of the boarding school as well as male and female students. The findings indicate that there are differences in the ways discipline is implemented among students. Nevertheless, the improvement of students’ discipline is influenced by effective interaction and communication between teachers and students. The communication process that takes place in learning activities and daily life within the boarding school environment contributes to the development of students who are able to manage their time and carry out activities in a more disciplined manner. The study concludes that cybernetic communication plays a role in conveying information and messages that are subsequently implemented in students’ daily activities as part of the process of developing disciplinary character.
