Penerapan Gaya Komunikasi Asertif Binsis dalam Menegakkan Kedisiplinan Santri SMP Daarut Tauhiid

Abstract

Communication is a fundamental part of social life, and the ability to communicate well is one of the gifts given by God. Enforcing discipline among santri (students) is not an easy task; santri need a role model to guide their behavior. In educating santri, an appropriate communication style makes it easier for a binsis (student affairs supervisor) to enforce discipline. Assertive communication is a style that is firm, direct, and respectful toward others, and applying it is the right approach for a binsis to enforce discipline among the santri of SMP Daarut Tauhiid. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation and interviews with two binsis as research subjects. The findings show that assertive communication is essential for the binsis in enforcing discipline, since this style teaches santri to remain polite and respectful whenever someone else is speaking. Assertive communication is regarded as the most balanced style for enforcing discipline among santri, although its implementation still depends on the specific situation and condition faced by the binsis.
