Abstract

This study explores the application of Peter Senge's "Fifth Discipline" framework in enhancing the quality of education at SDN Cigugur Tengah Mandiri 2, West Java, Indonesia. Despite its high accreditation and accolades, the school faces challenges in integrating systemic thinking and fostering a cohesive shared vision among stakeholders. This qualitative research examines the implementation of the five disciplines—systems thinking, personal mastery, mental models, shared vision, and team learning—using observations, interviews, and documentation analysis. The findings reveal that systemic thinking and shared vision are key drivers of improvement, while team learning and personal mastery remain areas for further development. This study offers insights into how these principles can support other schools in addressing similar challenges and provides recommendations for  educators and policymakers.
