Teacher’s Role: Implementation of Religious Character Education through the Habituation Method in Elementary School

2024-01-19T05:01:28+00:00

Students' religious character is generally emphasized by PAI teachers, but in this case the class teacher has more awareness in forming character through habituation. This habit needs to be studied so that it can be an example for other schools in optimally forming religiosity. This research aims to analyze the implementation of religious character education through habituation in fourth grade elementary school students. This research uses a qualitative case study approach with the subjects being teachers, students and student guardians. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observation and documentation. The data analysis used is the Miles and Huberman model. The results of the research show that shaping students' religious character is the existence of habituation activities such as routine repetition and assistance in aqidah, morals and worship. Routine repetition of aqidah is carried out by praying before and after learning, and TPA activities. Implementation of routine repetition of worship is carried out by purifying and salat. Implementation of routine repetition of morals is carried out by behaving and speaking politely at all times and doing good deeds every Thursday. Implementation of aqidah assistance is carried out with cult guidance every Thursday morning and assistance in activities of believing in Allah and His Angels. Implementation of worship assistance is carried out with the practice of purification and assistance with congregational prayers such as sunnah and obligatory prayers as well as moral assistance including assistance in cultivating good character and counseling assistance.

The rapid development of technology requires the education sector to adapt digital literacy to make the learning process more relevant to 21st-century needs. However, many teachers have yet to master the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, particularly in integrating technology into teaching practices. This study aims to analyze the influence of digital literacy on TPACK and the influence of pedagogical knowledge on TPACK among elementary school teachers. The research employs a quantitative method with an ex post facto design. A saturated sampling technique was used, involving all 35 elementary school teachers as respondents. Data were collected through structured questionnaires on digital literacy, pedagogical knowledge, and TPACK competencies. The data were then analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques. The results indicate that digital literacy has no significant influence on TPACK, with a significance value of 0.147. In contrast, pedagogical knowledge shows a significant influence on TPACK, with a significance value of 0.015. These findings suggest that while digital literacy is essential, pedagogical knowledge plays a more substantial role in improving teachers' ability to integrate technology into the learning process. In conclusion, enhancing pedagogical knowledge can strengthen teachers’ competencies in effectively utilizing technology in elementary school education.
