Pola Komunikasi Interpersonal Musyrif dan Santri Dalam Meningkatkan Kedisiplinan di SMP DT Putra

Abstract

This study analyzes the interpersonal communication patterns between mentors (musyrif) and students (santri) to enhance discipline at SMP Daarut Tauhiid Putra. Using a qualitative approach, the research identifies four communication strategies employed in character development - dialogue, sharing, counseling, and interviews - each carried out through direct face-to-face interaction between musyrif and santri. zSupporting factors identified include students' strong personal aspirations toward independence, musyrif's openness in receiving students' personal and academic concerns, and students' active participation in giving feedback and supporting one another. Meanwhile, the challenges found include behavioral patterns students bring from outside the boarding school environment and overly permissive parenting styles, both of which require more specialized communication approaches from the musyrif. Overall, the study emphasizes the central role of interpersonal communication in achieving optimal character development and discipline at SMP Daarut Tauhiid Putra, while highlighting the need for tailored strategies to address the challenges identified.
