To measure the validity of the data produced, standards are used; 1) trust, 2) degree of transferability, 3) dependence, and 4) certainty. It can be concluded that the spiritual, professional, and humanitarian values of the madrasa head are much articulated in the processes of managing superior madrasas. The success of the madrasa can be seen how the values and beliefs underlie the head of the madrasa in administering and making madrasas achieve their goals. These values and expectations greatly influence the behavior and practice of leadership, making superior madrassas, ranging from planning to evaluating them, and the procedures that go through them.
