IMPLEMENTATION OF 7-KAIH IN STRENGTHENING RELIGIOUS CHARACTER (CASE STUDY AT UPTD SD NEGERI 5 JULI BIREUEN REGENCY)
Downloads
The research, in addition to reviewing and evaluating this newly launched government program, also analyzes the implementation and impact of religious character education conducted on students through the concept of "7 Habits of Great Indonesian Children (7-KAIH)", Using qualitative descriptive research, with observation, interview and questionnaire instruments. The study was conducted at the UPTD of 5 Juli Public Elementary School, Bireuen Regency. The research findings indicate that children face challenges in adopting positive habits to strengthen their religious character, namely waking up early and praying. Therefore, concrete encouragement and examples are needed both in the educational process at school and from parents/guardians of students. According to parents, the school has generally implemented character education, particularly religious aspects, such as opening and closing the learning process with prayer, congregational prayer, and other activities, despite challenges and obstacles in the social environment. Therefore, the program is aligned with the Islamic perspective, the religion of the majority of students and parents. By strengthening religious character through this program, we are shaping a generation of faith, piety, and noble character. Synergy and collaboration between parents, teachers, and the community are key factors in shaping religious character, resulting in a generation that is not only academically intelligent but also possesses moral and ethical integrity.
