The Influence of the Transformation of Madrasah Head Leadership and Al-Qur'an Literacy Culture in Strengthening the Islamic Spirit of Students at MI Al-Madinatul Islamiyah Rumeneng

Abstract

This research seeks to assess the impact of headmaster leadership transformation on enhancing students' Islamic spirit, as well as the effect of Quran literacy culture on strengthening it. A quantitative, associative approach was employed. The study population included 115 students, with a sample of 30 respondents selected using cluster sampling. Data were gathered through questionnaires and supported by documentation of Quran literacy activities. The questionnaire was validated and demonstrated reliability, with 11 valid items for variable X-1, 10 for X-2, and 12 for Y. Reliability tests yielded Cronbach's alpha coefficients of 0.713 for variable X-1, 0.698 for X-2, and 0.710 for Y, confirming reliability. Prerequisite tests included assessments of normality, homogeneity, and linearity. Data were analyzed using simple regression in SPSS version 26. Findings indicate: 1) Headmaster leadership transformation has a significant and positive effect on strengthening students' Islamic spirit, with t-value 5.196, significance 0.000 < 0.05, and an influence contribution (R2) of 49.1%. 2) Quran literacy culture exerts a substantial positive impact on students' Islamic spirit, with t-value 13.748, significance 0.000 < 0.05, and an influence contribution (R2) of 87.1%. These results confirm that both headmaster leadership transformation and Quran literacy culture significantly influence students' Islamic spirit.
