PERAN GURU AL-ISLAM DALAM PEMBINAAN MORAL PESERTA DIDIK DI SMA PLUS MUHAMMADIYAH NATAR

Abstract

The moral crisis among students in the era of globalization is marked by declining discipline, weakening respect toward teachers, dishonesty, and misuse of social media. This study analyzes the role of Al-Islam teachers in addressing the moral crisis among students at SMA Plus Muhammadiyah Natar, South Lampung, the forms of moral coaching carried out, and the supporting and inhibiting factors. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach involving 11 purposively selected informants from grade XI students and school personnel. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña interactive model and validated through source and method triangulation. The findings show that Al-Islam teachers act as educators, mentors, motivators, role models, supervisors, and evaluators. Moral coaching is implemented through exemplary conduct, structured religious habituation, personal and persuasive guidance, discipline enforcement, and reinforcement of Islamic moral values. Supporting factors include school commitment, parental support, a religious environment, and structured programs, while inhibiting factors include peer influence, uncontrolled social media use, limited family supervision, and low student self-awareness. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative model linking the multidimensional roles of Al-Islam teachers with contextual moral-coaching strategies in a Muhammadiyah-based school, an intersection that previous studies have largely examined separately.
