Pengalaman Guru Dan Siswa Dalam Pelaksanaan Salat Dzuhur Berjamaah Sebagai Media Pembentukan Karakter Religius Di SMP Negeri 13 Raja Ampat

Abstract

This research aims to understand the experience of teachers and students in the implementation of congregational Dzuhur prayers as a medium for religious character formation in SMP Negeri 13 Raja Ampat. This research departs from the gap between religious character education policies and their implementation practices in schools, especially in multicultural contexts. The method used is qualitative descriptive phenomenology, with data obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The analysis was carried out through the stages of epoche, phenomenological reduction, and imaginative variation to find the essential meaning of the experience of teachers and students. The results of the study show that congregational Dzuhur prayer is an effective means of forming religious character through discipline, responsibility, and spiritual togetherness. Teachers play the role of role models and facilitators of religious values, while students internalize the values of moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action. This activity creates an inclusive spiritual climate and fosters a sustainable religious character.
