Abstract

This study aims to design a model for solving problems in the Muhammadiyah Charity Foundation (AUM) in the field of education in Bangka Belitung Islands Province in a comprehensive manner. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach. Collecting data in this research was done through focus group discussions (FGD) involving 21 Muhammadiyah school principals in Bangka Belitung, to obtain information on the problems of each AUM. Furthermore, the data were processed and analyzed through a system mindset. The results of the study found that the main problem faced by AUM in the field of education there is the problem of school management consisting of principal leadership management, finance, and human resources (HR). Considering that Muhammadiyah is a movement system called Manhaj Muhamamdiyah, solving problems at AUM Bangka Belitung must use a system-thinking approach. The systems thinking pattern is characterized by holistic, goal-oriented, and effective feedback. The solution to the AUM problem in Bangka Belitung is in the form of a systems thinking pattern in the form of a system model including several elements: controller, implementor, monitor, and evaluator, by involving all elements in the Muhammadiyah education system. Elements of regional leaders or regional leaders as controllers, elements of leadership assistants (elementary and secondary education councils) act as evaluators, elements of the community as monitors, and more importantly school administrators (principals, teachers, and education staff) as implementers
