Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concept of discipline, the supporting and inhibiting factors, and its impact on the character development of student-santri at Dayah Raudhatul Quran, Darussalam District. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation as data collection techniques. The informants consisted of the head of the dayah, two administrators responsible for academic and religious affairs, and six student-santri selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model and validated through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that Dayah Raudhatul Qur’an implements a comprehensive discipline system based on Islamic values, encompassing religious, academic, time-management, and social dimensions. Discipline enforcement is carried out through an educational and humanistic approach, particularly through the implementation of the member system, which emphasizes awareness-building and responsibility rather than punitive sanctions. Supporting factors include the exemplary leadership of the head of the dayah, teacher competence, peer social support, and family support. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include differences in students’ backgrounds, dual responsibilities as university students and santri, the influence of technology and social media, and external social environments. Although the discipline system initially creates adaptation pressures, it has proven effective in fostering orderly lifestyles, time-management skills, resilience, and strong Islamic character among student-santri. This study recommends strengthening mentoring programs for new santri as well as enhancing time-management and self-control development within the dayah educational system.
