Abstract

The glocalization of education presents a paradox between global standardization and the preservation of local identity in schools. Elementary education leadership is required to be adaptive to global dynamics without losing local cultural roots. This study aims to reconstruct a glocal leadership model based on the value of ing ngarsa sung tuladha in the thoughts of Ki Hajar Dewantara through a library research approach. Primary data were obtained from 25 reputable international and national journal articles indexed Q1, Q2, Sinta 1, Sinta 2 which were analyzed using thematic analysis and conceptual synthesis. The results of the study indicate that Ki Hajar Dewantara's exemplary principles have epistemological compatibility with the concept of glocalization which emphasizes the integration of global and local values in educational leadership practices. This study produces a Glocal leadership model GLOKADIG that integrates humanist digital exemplary behavior, value-based adaptive leadership, and glocal community involvement.

Keywords: Glocalization; Educational Leadership; Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha; Ki Hajar Dewantara; Digital Role Model.
