Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the effectiveness of daily Islamic worship habituation programs in strengthening students' character development at Islamic junior high schools. A qualitative case study was conducted involving principals, Islamic Religious Education teachers, homeroom teachers, parents, and 85 students. Data were gathered through interviews, participant observation, focus group discussions, and document analysis. The findings demonstrate that structured daily worship activities, including congregational prayers, Quran recitation, dhikr, and morning supplication, positively influence students' discipline, honesty, responsibility, empathy, and self-control. The collaborative involvement of schools and families further strengthened the sustainability of character formation. Students exhibited noticeable improvements in both religious commitment and social behavior throughout the academic year. The novelty of this research lies in proposing an integrated character education framework that systematically combines religious habituation, school culture, family engagement, and continuous character assessment within Islamic educational institutions
