Implementasi Pembelajaran Aqidah Akhlak Terhadap Perilaku Siswa Di MIS Nurul Hikam Tanjung Jabung Barat Jambi

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Aqidah Ahlak instruction and its impact on student behavior at MIS Nurul Hikam, Tanjung Jabung Barat, Jambi, during the 2025/2026 academic year. The research aims to (1) describe the model of Aqidah Ahlak teaching implemented at the madrasah, (2) evaluate its effects on behavioral dimensions (discipline, morals, and social care), and (3) identify supporting and inhibiting factors in implementation. The study used a mixed-methods explanatory design: a quantitative phase with a survey and behavior scale administered to 72 purposively selected students, followed by a qualitative phase consisting of in-depth interviews with six teachers and classroom/extracurricular observations. Quantitative results indicate a statistically significant increase in mean behavior scores after structured Aqidah Ahlak instruction (p<0.05), especially in discipline and respectful attitudes. Qualitative findings corroborate these results: teachers employed role modeling, habitual religious practices, and reflective learning that facilitated value internalization. Supporting factors included parental involvement and an integrated timetable; primary challenges were differing family backgrounds and limited instructional time. Implications suggest strengthening a contextualized curriculum, teacher professional development, and school-parent collaboration to sustain behavioral change.
