Internalisasi Nilai Religius Melalui Kegiatan Inovasi GERDU BERISI (Gerakan Dhuha Bersama Siswa) Pada Peserta Didik MAN 2 Tegal

Abstract

This article describes the GERDU BERISI program and examines how students interpret the habituation of congregational Dhuha prayer at MAN 2 Tegal. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The reported data consist of semi-structured interviews with one supervising teacher and three students, observations of the program, and supporting documentation. The analysis involved data reduction, thematic grouping, narrative presentation, and conclusion drawing; credibility was considered by comparing sources and data-collection techniques. The findings indicate varied student motivations. Some students reported participating because of school rules, fear of sanctions, embarrassment, or encouragement from peers. One student reported that an existing Dhuha prayer routine at home made the activity meaningful and calming. These accounts suggest a distinction between situational compliance and indications of personal meaning, but they do not establish comprehensive internalization or a causal program effect. Practical constraints include limited water for ablution, cleanliness of prayer facilities, uneven concentration during worship, and the need to strengthen students’ understanding of Islamic jurisprudence. The article offers a context-specific account of motivational variation in a weekly religious habituation program.
