Abstract

This study aims to identify and measure the effect of metacognition and science process skills on the educational managerial abilities of leaders at Pondok Pesantren Salaf API Tegalrejo Magelang. The approach used in this study is exploratory quantitative. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire, which was a questionnaire consisting of 30 questions for each variable as measured by Likert scale answers. The sample used in this study was all leaders, from the highest to the lowest, totaling 38 people. Furthermore, the data that has been collected is analyzed in two stages, namely: 1) the analysis stage of identifying categories for each variable and 2) the stage of statistical correlation testing. Based on the data that has been obtained and the discussion, it can be understood that metacognition and SPS have a positive effect on the ability of the leadership of the Salaf API Islamic boarding school in conducting educational management at each level of leadership with a correlation level of 0.820 and 0.718 respectively. In addition, both variables together also have a positive effect on the leadership's ability to carry out managerial education, namely 0.780. Thus, this study proves that the managerial abilities of leaders of Islamic educational institutions are strongly influenced by metacognition and science process skills. Therefore, the implication of this research is that improving the educational managerial abilities of leaders in Islamic boarding schools can be carried out by developing metacognition-based training programs and science process skills.
