<p class="15bIsiAbstractBInggris"><em>The role and function of the mosque also experienced extraordinary development. Mosques not only serve as the main support for ritual worship activities that function to improve mental and spiritual health, but have also been used for various other social activities. Likewise, the architectural design of the mosque, its name, program, management, characteristics of the congregation, and others have also improved tremendously. This paper, apart from giving an appreciation of the increase in the growth and development of mosques with various related aspects, will also analyze it from an educational perspective. This effort, apart from accelerating the increase in equal distribution of opportunities for education in the broadest sense, is also expected to support the achievement of the quality of education in the religious field in particular.</em></p><p class="15bIsiAbstractBInggris"> </p><p class="16aJudulAbstrak"><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p class="16bIsiAbstrak">Peran dan fungsi masjid juga mengalami perkembangan luar biasa.

Teachers are important element in educational system. Their professionalism should be enhanced to improve the quality of education. They often become scapegoat when the quality of education decreases. However, the appreciation of the Indonesian government and community to them, in term of salary and prosperity are still unsatisfying.To support their families and any other daily needs, most teachers still have to struggle by exploring any other part-time jobs that will automatically bother their main activities to teach. They are like street salesmen selling their items on the public bus who sometimes have to lie and disappointing the customers.

Historically, the surau has become an important means (institution/agency) in terms of community development and enlightenment, particularly in religious learning and cultivation of moral values. In addition, the surau-based education had a significant reputation with regard to the spread of Islam to various regions and the area around an island and beyond, and probably to other countries. As a means of religious education, we can still find surau until now, although its role and function are no longer the same as they were in the past, in which educational activities of Islam in the early days of its growth were carried out under the surau educational system. Thus, since the beginning of the spread of Islam to Indonesia, surau has contributed the shape and pattern of its own in the Islamic educational system

Role And Function

Discipline culture is a reflection of the quality of educational institutions. The low level of discipline is the main problem of every educational institution. The role of leadership is very much needed in overcoming this problem. This paper aims to describe the leadership role of madrasah principals in improving the disciplinary culture of students at MAS Patra Mandiri Plaju Palembang. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive analytic study method. Data were collected using interview techniques, observation and documentation study. The results of this study indicate that the headmaster of MAS Patra Mandiri Plaju Palembang has played its role and function in improving the disciplinary culture of students in a fairly good category. This is supported by 2 factors, namely (1) the role models of madrasah principals in complying with school regulations; and (2) socialization of school discipline rules and sanctions for violations. The obstacles faced by madrasah principals are (1) there are still some teachers who do not exemplify student attitudes; and (2) there are still students who are not "deterred" to be given disciplinary violations.
