Model Sinergi Orang Tua dan Guru dalam Penguatan Karakter Religius Peserta Didik: Studi Kasus di Sekolah Dasar Islam 07 Panjang Wetan Pekalongan

Abstract

The strengthening of religious character among elementary school students has not yet been optimally achieved due to the lack of synergy between schools and families in the process of internalizing religious values. Although numerous studies have examined religious character education, research addressing the institutional interaction patterns between schools and families in reinforcing the internalization of religious values at the elementary school level remains relatively limited. This study aims to analyze the forms, processes, and dynamics of schoolfamily synergy in fostering students' religious character at SD Islam 07 Panjang Wetan, Pekalongan City. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using observations, interviews, and documentation, with data analyzed through the Miles and Huberman interactive model and validated through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that religious character development is shaped through an integrated collaborative pattern between schools and families, encompassing habitual religious practices, the implementation of the 5S culture (smile, greet, salute, polite, and courteous), intensive teacherparent communication, and active family participation in school religious programs. This collaborative pattern strengthens the consistency of religious value internalization by ensuring continuity between school- and home-based educational practices. The study highlights that sustained institutional collaboration between schools and families is a strategic factor in developing students' religious character comprehensively and offers a conceptual contribution to the schoolfamily partnership model for strengthening character education in elementary schools
