THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IMPLEMENTING DINIYAH HOURS AT MI TERPADU MUTIARA ASSYIFA BENGKULU CITY IN FORMING STUDENTS' RELIGIOUS CHARACTER

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effectiveness of implementing Diniyah hours at MI Terpadu Mutiara Assyifa, Bengkulu City in forming students' religious character. A qualitative approach was used with descriptive methods to explore in-depth information related to the implementation of the Diniyah jam program. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with teachers, students and parents, direct observation of the implementation of activities, and analysis of related documents. The research results show that Diniyah hours make a significant contribution to the formation of students' religious character. This can be seen from increased discipline in worship, respectful attitudes towards teachers, honest behavior and students' social awareness. The success of the program is supported by careful planning, capable teacher competence, and active student participation. However, there are several obstacles such as limited implementation time and lack of optimal supporting facilities. This research concludes that the implementation of Diniyah hours is effective in shaping students' religious character, although efforts are still needed to improve in terms of implementation time, facilities and parental involvement. It is hoped that the results of this research can become a reference for developing better religious education programs in schools.
