Abstract

Since discipline is directly linked to learning achievement and the development of students' personalities, it is one facet of character that needs to be fostered in the field of education. By enforcing school rules, schools, as official educational establishments, have an obligation to instill the principles of discipline. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the elements that facilitate and impede the execution of school regulations at SMAN 1 Sungai Pinang in order to improve student discipline. Descriptive qualitative research methodology is employed, and data is gathered by observation, interviews, and documentation. The study's findings show that socialization of rules is how SMAN 1 Sungai Pinang implements regulations, teacher role models, habituation of disciplined behavior, and the consistent application of sanctions and rewards. Supporting factors for implementation include teacher commitment, principal support, and cooperation with parents, while obstacles include low awareness of some students and the influence of the environment outside the school. In conclusion, the implementation of school regulations plays an important role in shaping student discipline at SMAN 1 Sungai Pinang through an educational approach, habituation, and role models.
