Abstract

This study aims to analyze and study the implications of the implementation of school culture management in strengthening the moderate attitudes of elementary school students. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach conducted at State Elementary School 03 Tanjung, Jepara Regency. Informants from this study consisted of the Principal, Class Teachers, Religion Teachers and students who were selected purposively according to the research data needs. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation, while data analysis was carried out interactively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of school culture management has significant implications in strengthening students' moderate attitudes. This is reflected in several main findings, namely: 1) strengthening attitudes of tolerance and respect for diversity in the school environment, 2) reducing the tendency for extreme attitudes in thinking and acting by students, 3) decreasing bullying in the school environment, and 4) strengthening social skills and empathy in daily interactions.
