INTERNALISASI NILAI-NILAI PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DALAM MENINGKATKAN KARAKTER RELIGIUS PESERTA DIDIK DI SMPN 9 MALANG

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the process of internalization of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) values in improving the religious character of students at SMPN 9 Malang. This study focuses on three main aspects: value transformation, value transaction, and value transinternalization, which together aim to strengthen students' religious character comprehensively. This study uses qualitative methods, including interviews, observation, and documentation, to collect and analyze descriptive data. The research findings indicate that value transformation is carried out through various learning strategies such as lectures, discussions, affirmations, and projects. Transaction values are implemented through routine religious activities, such as morning spiritual events, congregational prayers, and the implementation of the 5S culture (smile, greet, greet, polite, courteous), which foster positive habits in students. Transinternalization values occur through consistent religious role models from teachers, religious understanding and achievements, which ensure religious values are deeply embedded in students' characters. The results of the study indicate that the internalization of PAI values at SMPN 9 Malang is effective in improving students' religious character, enabling them to apply religious values in their daily lives. Despite some challenges in its implementation, this approach is considered effective in addressing character issues and supporting the holistic development of students in the era of globalization
