Implementation of the Values of Amanah and Khalifah in School Management for Environmental Preservation

Abstract

This study discusses the implementation of the values ​​of amanah (moral responsibility) and khalifah (ecological leadership) in Islamic education-based school management for environmental conservation. Through a qualitative-descriptive approach and literature study supplemented by field data at MTsN 1 Yogyakarta, it was found that the internalization of the values ​​of amanah and khalifah significantly encouraged changes in the ecological behavior of school residents. The amanah value strengthened ecological awareness as part of faith and spiritual responsibility, while the khalifah value encouraged the active involvement of students and teachers in environmental conservation actions. The strategy of value-based management, role models, school culture, and the integration of an ecological vision into school policies proved effective in building a sustainable, environmentally friendly culture. The results of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening Islamic values ​​in education as a foundation for developing environmentally conscious characters and agents of social change.
