Abstract
This study aims to identify the implementation patterns and strategies employed by Al-Amalul Khair Islamic Boarding School in addressing the phenomenon of seniority among students. The research methodology used is qualitative, with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research informants consist of two individuals, namely the head of the boarding school management and the dormitory supervisor. The study's findings indicate that seniority at the boarding school is a cultural practice passed down through generations, driven by revenge and a desire to demonstrate power. This phenomenon is exacerbated by a lack of control from family, educational, and community environments. The boarding school addresses this issue by developing a pattern of affection or mahabbah, aiming to instill mutual affection among students. Additionally, a learning pattern that involves senior students teaching junior students is implemented to strengthen communication and increase responsibility. The muamalah pattern is also applied to teach life values and effective conflict resolution. This approach is expected to reduce seniority actions and improve the quality of social interactions among students. The findings of this study provide significant contributions to the development of policies and practices at the boarding school and offer insights for future research on the phenomenon of seniority in other educational institutions.
