Manajemen Talenta Murid dalam Pengembangan Minat dan Bakat melalui Program Badan Olimpiade di MA Mambaul Ulum Bata-Bata Pamekasan

Madrasah Aliyah Mambaul Ulum Bata-Bata menghadapi tantangan struktural yang khas: padatnya jadwal pesantren, terhentinya program kursus keahlian, dan lemahnya sistem kaderisasi bakat yang mengakibatkan kesulitan menjaring murid siap kompetisi. Kondisi ini menciptakan kekosongan ruang pengembangan minat dan bakat yang menuntut penanganan sistematis melalui pendekatan manajemen talenta murid yang terstruktur. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis manajemen talenta murid dalam pengembangan minat dan bakat melalui Program Badan Olimpiade di MA Mambaul Ulum Bata-Bata Pamekasan, dengan fokus pada tiga dimensi utama: perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi program.
Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Informan dipilih secara purposif berdasarkan keterlibatan langsung dalam program, terdiri dari kepala madrasah, wakil kepala bidang kesiswaan, koordinator dan pembina Program Badan Olimpiade, serta murid. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur, observasi partisipatif, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif Miles dan Huberman. Keabsahan data diuji melalui triangulasi sumber dan teknik serta member check.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: pertama, perencanaan dilakukan secara sistematis melalui pemetaan potensi murid, penetapan tujuan program, dan perancangan tiga jalur pembinaan yakni Kelas Olimpiade, Klub Olimpiade, dan Pembinaan Olimpiade yang mencakup enam bidang: sains, kepesantrenan, seni, olahraga, bahasa asing, dan vokasi. Kedua, pelaksanaan berlangsung secara rutin dan adaptif dengan pendekatan pembinaan yang disesuaikan terhadap karakter masing-masing bidang. Ketiga, evaluasi berfungsi sebagai mekanisme siklus berbasis bukti yang menghubungkan data capaian dengan perbaikan program secara berkelanjutan.
Program Badan Olimpiade terbukti menjadi instrumen manajemen talenta murid berbasis program yang efektif dalam mengembangkan minat dan bakat secara terarah, berkelanjutan, dan kontekstual dalam lingkungan madrasah berbasis pesantren, serta berpotensi menjadi kerangka tata kelola yang dapat diadaptasi oleh madrasah lain dengan tantangan serupa.

Madrasah Aliyah (Islamic Senior High School) Mambaul Ulum Bata-Bata faces unique structural challenges: a busy Islamic boarding school schedule, the suspension of vocational training programs, and a weak talent development system, resulting in difficulties in recruiting competitively prepared students. These conditions create a vacuum in the development of interests and talents that requires systematic management through a structured student talent management approach. This study aimed to analyze student talent management in developing interests and talents through the Olympiad Agency Program at MA (Islamic Senior High School) Mambaul Ulum Bata-Bata Pamekasan, focusing on three main dimensions: planning, implementation, and program evaluation.
This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Informants were purposively selected based on their direct involvement in the program, including the principal, the vice principal for student affairs, the coordinator and supervisor of the Olympic Agency Program, and students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Data validity was tested through source and technique triangulation, as well as member checking.
The results showed first, planning was carried out systematically through mapping student potential, establishing program objectives, and designing three development pathways: Olympic Class, Olympic Club, and Olympic Development, covering six areas, such as science, Islamic boarding school, arts, sports, foreign languages, and vocational studies. Second, implementation was routine and adaptive, with a development approach tailored to the characteristics of each area. Third, evaluation functioned as an evidence-based cyclical mechanism that linked achievement data to continuous program improvement.
The Olympic Body Program has proven to be an effective program-based student talent management tool for developing interests and talents in a targeted, sustainable, and contextual manner within the Islamic boarding school (pesantren) environment. It also has the potential to become a governance framework that can be adapted by other madrasahs facing similar challenges.
