PERAN GURU AKIDAH AKHLAK DALAM PEMBINAAN PRIBADI SISWA SD NEGERI 195 PALEMBANG

Abstract

This study discusses the role of Akidah Akhlak teachers in the personal development of students at SD Negeri 195 Palembang, with a focus on how teachers contribute to instilling religious and moral values ​​in students. Early personal development of students is very important in forming strong and noble characters, especially amidst increasingly complex moral challenges in the era of globalization. Akidah Akhlak teachers are not only tasked with delivering learning materials, but also act as role models, guides, and motivators in students' daily lives. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, where data is obtained through direct observation techniques, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of learning activities. The results of the study show that Akidah Akhlak teachers at SD Negeri 195 Palembang carry out their roles through various strategies, such as providing role models in behaving, accustoming students to doing good deeds, inserting moral messages in every teaching and learning activity, and establishing close communication with students to understand their needs and problems. Although there are several obstacles, such as limited learning time and lack of support from the family and community environment, teachers still make maximum efforts to develop students' personalities. The positive impact of this role can be seen from the increasing awareness of students in carrying out worship, being honest, disciplined, and responsible both in the school environment and at home. This study concludes that the role of Akidah Akhlak teachers is very important in the development of students' personalities, and needs to be supported by synergy between schools, families, and communities to create a young generation with noble morals and superior personalities.
