Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kepemimpinan digital kepala sekolah perempuan dalam transformasi pembelajaran di Sekolah Dasar Islam Nur Mahmudi. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi, lalu dianalisis secara tematik dengan jumlah informan 20 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan digital kepala sekolah berada pada kategori tinggi hingga sangat tinggi, terutama pada dimensi visi digital, keteladanan teknologi, dan pemberdayaan guru. Workshop berperan penting dalam memperkuat kapasitas kepala sekolah melalui pemahaman konseptual, perencanaan program, serta evaluasi keberlanjutan. Kepemimpinan digital juga mendorong guru menggunakan media digital, presentasi interaktif, sumber belajar daring, dan tugas berbasis proyek. Perubahan tersebut memperkuat karakter siswa pada aspek critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, dan confidence. Namun, sekolah masih menghadapi tantangan berupa keterbatasan kemitraan, anggaran, supervisi klinis, dan kesenjangan kompetensi guru. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa transformasi digital membutuhkan kepemimpinan yang visioner, relasional, dan berkelanjutan. Temuan ini memberi kontribusi bagi pengembangan manajemen pendidikan dasar Islam di era digital.
