STRATEGI GURU PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DALAM MEMBENTUK MORAL SISWA DI SMPN 2 NGANTANG MALANG

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the moral condition of students, the strategies applied by Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers, and the supporting and inhibiting factors of those strategies in shaping students’ morality at SMPN 2 Ngantang, Malang. The study is grounded in the school’s commitment to producing students who excel not only academically but also in faith and piety (IMTAQ), even though several moral issues, such as inconsistent discipline and peer influence, remain a concern. A qualitative case-study approach was employed, with data gathered through in-depth interviews with the school principal, the PAI teacher, and students, supplemented by observation and documentation, and analyzed interactively through data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the students’ moral condition is generally good, although a small number still require continuous guidance. PAI teachers rely on habituation and exemplary conduct, advice and supervision, religious activities, and reward and punishment as their main strategies. Supporting factors include family support, a conducive school environment, teacher involvement, and student willingness, while peer influence, uncontrolled use of mobile phones and social media, and differing parenting styles remain obstacles that require collaboration among the school, families, and the wider community.
