This study aims to analyze the role of digital attendance in shaping student character in madrasas from the perspective of Islamic education axiology. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation, involving the head of the madrasah, the deputy head of student affairs, teachers, students, and digital attendance operators as informants. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis through the stages of transcription, repeated reading, initial coding, categorization, theme preparation, and interpretation. The results of the study show that digital attendance not only functions as an attendance administration system but also as an instrument for instilling discipline, responsibility, honesty, order, and the internalization of Islamic values in madrasah life. This system helps build more objective, monitored attendance governance and serves as the basis for student development through supervision, consequences, and disciplinary routines. From the perspective of Islamic education axiology, digital attendance can be interpreted as a medium of moral formation when integrated with the values of trust, istiqamah, responsibility, and respect for time. However, its effectiveness still depends on technical readiness, teacher supervision, madrasah culture, parental support, and the sustainable development of values. This research contributes to the development of technology-based Islamic education studies by positioning digital attendance not only as a tool of administrative control but also as a medium for value education and the formation of students’ religious character.
Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran absensi digital dalam pembentukan karakter siswa di madrasah melalui perspektif aksiologi pendidikan Islam. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur, observasi, dan dokumentasi dengan melibatkan kepala madrasah, wakil kepala bidang kesiswaan, guru, siswa, dan operator absensi digital sebagai informan. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis tematik melalui tahapan transkripsi, pembacaan berulang, pengkodean awal, kategorisasi, penyusunan tema, dan interpretasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa absensi digital tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai sistem administrasi kehadiran, tetapi juga menjadi instrumen pembiasaan disiplin, tanggung jawab, kejujuran, keteraturan, dan internalisasi nilai Islam dalam kehidupan madrasah. Sistem ini membantu membangun tata kelola kehadiran yang lebih objektif dan terpantau, sekaligus menjadi dasar pembinaan siswa melalui pengawasan, konsekuensi, dan rutinitas kedisiplinan. Dalam perspektif aksiologi pendidikan Islam, absensi digital dapat dimaknai sebagai media pembentukan akhlak apabila diintegrasikan dengan nilai amanah, istiqamah, tanggung jawab, dan penghargaan terhadap waktu. Namun, efektivitasnya tetap bergantung pada kesiapan teknis, pengawasan guru, budaya madrasah, dukungan orang tua, dan pembinaan nilai secara berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan kajian pendidikan Islam berbasis teknologi dengan menempatkan absensi digital bukan hanya sebagai alat kontrol administratif, tetapi juga sebagai media pendidikan nilai dan pembentukan karakter religius siswa.
