Developing Students' Religious Character through Teacher Role Modeling in Islamic Moral Education at Madrasah Tsanawiyah
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This research explores the influence of teacher role modeling on students' religious character development in Islamic junior secondary schools. A qualitative case study involving principals, teachers, parents, and students from three Madrasah Tsanawiyah was conducted. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that teachers' consistency in demonstrating honesty, discipline, humility, sincerity, and responsibility significantly influences students' moral attitudes and religious behavior. Students perceived teachers as authentic role models whose daily conduct reinforced classroom instruction more effectively than verbal advice alone. Family support further strengthened the impact of exemplary teacher behavior. The novelty of this research lies in constructing an Authentic Teacher Role Modeling Framework that integrates pedagogical competence, moral leadership, and Islamic educational values to foster sustainable religious character formation
