Abstract

This study aims to examine in depth the role of teachers in guiding students' time management as a strategy to improve academic achievement. Using a qualitative approach with data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, this study was conducted at MTs Swasta IRA Medan, involving teachers and students as the main subjects. The study results indicate that teachers play a strategic role as material conveyors and mentors in character development and learning skills, including time management. The strategies implemented include instilling time discipline in the classroom, using daily planners, creating to-do lists, applying the Pomodoro technique, and maintaining active communication with parents. Implementing these strategies positively impacted fostering students' awareness of the importance of time management, improving learning discipline, and helping them achieve better academic results. However, challenges were still found, such as a lack of awareness among students, procrastination habits, and limited training for teachers in guiding time management systematically. This study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between teachers, students, and parents in creating a disciplined and results-oriented learning culture. These findings are expected to serve as a basis for designing educational policies more responsive to developing time management skills as part of character education.
