History Learning, Islamic Values, Religious Character Education.
Abstract
Thisresearch tries to analyze the implementation of religious character
education in history subjects among Grade X IIS students at SMA
Muhammadiyah 1 Pontianak. Religious character education is
essential in shaping a generation that excels not only in knowledge and
skills but also in moral integrity. The study takes a descriptive
qualitative method, gathering data through observation, interviews,
and recording. The findings reveal that history teachers have
effectively designed and implemented learning activities based on
religious values using lesson plans (RPP), while also cultivating
religious habits among students, such as reciting the Qur"™an (tadarus),
praying together, and demonstrating respectful behavior in the
classroom. The school also supports character development through
various programs rooted in Islamic values.
However, challenges remain in implementing religious character
education, particularly due to the limited instructional time for history
subjects, which is only two hours per week. This constraint reduces
the teacher's ability to consistently monitor students' religious
behavior. As a solution, the history teacher and the school have
developed a historical excursion program to visit historical sites,
including places of worship, to instill religious values in a contextual
manner. Overall, implementing religious character education at SMA
Muhammadiyah 1 Pontianak is progressing well but still requires
strong collaboration among teachers, the school, students, and parents
for optimal outcomes.
