Kepemimpinan Transformasional dalam Pendidikan Agama Kristen, Peran Guru sebagai Agen Perubahan
Abstract
Transformational leadership has an important relevance in Christian Religious Education (PAK), especially in strengthening the role of teachers as agents of change in the formation of students' character, faith, and leadership. This article aims to examine the concept of transformational leadership in the context of PAK and analyze the role of teachers as educators, leaders, mentors, spiritual guides, and educational reformers. This research uses a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data were obtained through a review of relevant literature, including books, scientific articles, theological sources, and biblical texts related to transformational leadership and Christian education. The data were analyzed descriptive-analytically by identifying, interpreting, and synthesizing transformational leadership concepts in the perspective of Christian education and values. The results of the study show that transformational leadership in PAK emphasizes inspiration, motivation, example, the development of individual potential, and sustainable positive change. PAK teachers have a strategic role through six main aspects, namely building a clear vision and mission, being exemplary in character and faith, creating a motivating and inclusive learning environment, encouraging creativity and learning innovation, building relationships that support spiritual growth, and empowering students to become future leaders. This model is rooted in the leadership example of Jesus Christ that displays love, humility, service, and concern for individuals. Transformational leadership places PAK teachers not just as transmitters of knowledge, but as agents of change who shape students to have strong faith, Christian character, and the ability to have a positive impact on the church, society, and the world.
