Digitalisasi Presensi Berbasis Barcode dan Internalisasi Nilai Disiplin dalam Pendidikan Karakter Islami

Digital transformation in madrasahs is commonly understood as administrative efficiency, although any device that regulates students' daily routines can serve as a medium of value education. Disciplinary problems, such as lateness, neglecting attendance, and weak responsibility for presence, persist at MTs Syafiiyah Darussalam even after the madrasah adopted barcode-based attendance. This study analyses the implementation of barcode attendance, the internalisation of disciplinary values it generates, and its supporting factors, obstacles, and implications for Islamic character education. A descriptive qualitative case study design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the head of the madrasah, the vice heads for student affairs and curriculum, and teachers, supported by participant observation and attendance documentation. Data were analysed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña and validated through source and technique triangulation. Thomas Lickona's character education theory served as the analytical lens. The findings show that barcode attendance accelerates recording and provides transparent time traces, fosters habits of punctuality and orderly attendance, and nurtures an emerging sense of responsibility. Barcode attendance is therefore effective as an instrument for habituating discipline when it is integrated with teacher modelling, supervision, and the articulation of Islamic values
