Abstract
Ahlakul karimah (divine character) is the primary criterion for observing and evaluating
the outward nature of a person, but various traits and characteristics of
children cannot be separated from the influence of their parents or elders. In
addition to being required to maintain their children's educational
development, parents must be able to recognize and cultivate their children's
potential and must not impose their will without first consulting them.
Nonetheless, in the contemporary era, education faces increasingly complex
obstacles, particularly as the world of online media devices becomes more
accessible to the public. In order for a child to realize good morals, he or
she must have a model to follow, and educational institutions are the key. This
study aims to examine the position of Islamic boarding schools, which are
prevalent in Indonesia, particularly on the island of Java, in relation to the
level of students' honesty using a method based on emulation and advice from
boarding school administrators. The method of this research is a
descriptive-analytic qualitative research with a case study approach. The
results of study show that the exemplary method in strengthening the values of
honesty at the Darul Ulum
Muhammadiyah Galur Islamic Boarding School includes
two forms of the first method, namely directly through the words and behavior
of the management and the second, which indirectly means through stories
influence students’ characteristics.

INTRODUCTION
Ahlakul karimah
is the main parameter in viewing and analyzing a person's outward nature.
However, various kinds of traits and characteristics of children also cannot be
separated from the role of their parents or older people such as older siblings,
uncles or other people who are above the age that a child will develop
according to what is learned and obtained for that the example of more mature
people is needed in order to support the character of a child so that it is
under good morals and the teachings of Islam, especially children It is also a
mandate from Allah SWT, safe is a deposit and every deposit will certainly be
held accountable (Ilyas, 2016). Parents
have a great responsibility for the success of their children's education, both
worldly and religious general education, and parents also have to understand
the task of humans living in the world, namely to worship Allah SWT, provide
religious education, fulfill their clothing and food and meet their needs.
formal education (Djazilan, Nafiah, & Hartatik, 2021).
Parents who are irresponsible and tend to be indifferent
to their children's education will be a boomerang for both parents when they
are still alive in the world and especially when the parents have died. The
child's prayer is very important and awaited by parents when they are gone. A
child in his development process needs a figure, an example from an adult, as
his capital material in following social developments and as a benchmark in
behaving as he grows older (Yuniar, Afifulloh, & Ertanti, 2020). However, often, a child is wrong in imitating
or imitating a behavior carried out by adults, such as imitating dirty speech,
cursing and especially smoking. For this reason, positive examples and advice
from parents or older people are very important so that the child in the development
process also becomes a child figure who has good character and character, but
still a child needs an adult figure to be an example for a child, especially if
a child is born in a holy condition or fitrah (H.M., 2000).
Moreover, parents are expected to provide exemplary
portions according to the child's age and encourage children to be more active
in doing good. By teaching religious knowledge and conveying the stories of the
prophets, especially the story of the Prophet Muhammad, how he was an orphan at
an early age, remained optimistic about working lawfully and had high spirits
and did not despair if his parents succeeded in making Prophet Muhammad SAW an
example for him. Then this is a tremendous success in line with a study that a
good example or good example will greatly contribute to religious education and
moral education as well as to fellow creatures (Khairiah & Madya, 2014).
However, in modern times, today's tough challenges in
education are also more complex, especially in the world of gadgets which are
increasingly free in their use to children. The impact of the process of
imitating a child can also come from something seen in the surrounding
environment. The digital world, cellphones, and television play a role. Active
in this matter, the presence of adults also plays a role in this process.
However, parents still play a serious role in this matter, do not let the media
become a silent means of destroying the positive nature of the child's holy
nature and the mentality of the child so that while it is still in the process
of parental supervision, parents have the authority to see, check and regulate
various components of technology. Moreover, books and so on that children
consume so that if a child strays away from the positive nature of the parents,
they can still direct it in the right direction. A child must also have an
honest nature in this regard, and honest nature will not be possessed or even
develop well in a child without the role of parents in instilling and
exemplifying it (Pratiwi & Rusiadi, 2021).
Moreover, nowadays, the honesty value of children has
decreased drastically, and there is no need to blame each other for this
problem. Freedom to play with gadgets and the internet that easily accesses
various things without parents knowing is very influential on a child's
mentality. Moreover, when parents try to check, this is where the value of a
child's honesty is at stake. If the child gets a good education and a good
example from his parents, then he will tell the truth and what it is, whereas
if a child does not get an example of the honest nature of his parents.
Especially ignoring their children's education, it is certain that a child will
tend to lie. Honesty will grow with example. The bad impact of not having
honest nature is very much one which is corruption for an official whose
childhood did not get a good example for him. The next impact of dishonesty is
fraud. Nowadays, fraud cases are spreading through cyberspace, one of which
recently happened, very disturbing and namely online lending, and the impact on
victims is that some even commit suicide (Syafeie, 2020). A good
example will affect a child's development, and the goods will also return to
parents or adults who have taught and set a good example for a child. Based on
the various phenomena mentioned above, it can be shown that in the process of
facing the end of time life which is increasingly extraordinarily advanced,
modern and has many challenges, a child needs an example to be followed in
order to realize good morals and good educational institutions are the main
keys. In this study, we will focus on the position of Islamic boarding schools,
which are very numerous in Indonesia, especially on the island of Java, with
the level of honesty of their students through an exemplary method and advice
from boarding school administrators.
Santri who
live in Islamic boarding schools are usually students who are far from their
parents and live with people who at first are foreign to themselves, namely the
administrators of the Islamic boarding school. Being a caregiver in an Islamic
boarding school must be committed to having a positive nature, being ready to
be a role model for his students, and being brave enough to be the main parents
for all his students. However, sometimes a problem or problem comes from the
students themselves, namely having less positive innate morals brought from
previous education whether, from home, school or the environment, not a few
students are lodged not because of the spirit to seek religious knowledge and
improve themselves for the better but because negative nature that has gone too
far so that it requires special handling and Islamic boarding schools are the
main choice of parents, in this case.
Islamic boarding schools are non-formal educational
institutions that have developed rapidly at this time, both in quality and
quantity. In Indonesia, there are Islamic boarding schools from Muhammadiyah
and Nahdlatul Ulama or NU or other religious
organizations. In formal education, there is a teacher as academic staff, so in
a boarding school, there are administrators for the students. In terms of
curriculum, Islamic boarding schools also have their curriculum. Several large
Islamic boarding schools, such as the Gontor Islamic
Boarding School in East Java, for example, already have a modern and advanced
level of education; this dispels public opinion regarding the public opinion
that education in Islamic boarding schools tends to be old-fashioned and
backward (Street, n.d.). Islamic boarding schools combine two elements
of education, namely world knowledge and religious knowledge, only that there
is a much larger portion of religious education than worldly education as a
non-formal educational institution that emphasizes aspects of religious
education as its superior. Will have more positive behavior and manners than
children not from the cottage, but this does not place the child outside the
cottage as an aspect that lacks good manners. The role of administrators in
forming positive behavior for students, especially honesty through exemplary
and motivational methods, is very important because an administrator in a
boarding school is the main beacon for the personality development of a
student. One of the positive behaviors is honesty.
Honesty is an attitude that conveys everything as it is
and should be. Because honest nature has been lost from a person, real
destruction lives in front of the eyes. A dishonest people leader will also be
a disaster for his community, and a dishonest family head will also make a
family disharmonious. Due to the importance of honesty, researchers are interested
in researching an Islamic boarding school in Kulon Progo which will be combined with a strategy through
exemplary methods and advice from administrators by providing examples for
students. By providing an example or example as well
as motivation, an administrator in an Islamic boarding school has indirectly
proven that he is also doing what he taught his students during his education
at the Islamic boarding school. However, suppose the example is not directly
proven only as a theory. In that case, it is not enough for a santri to believe and agree with the theory that the
administrator has conveyed in a lesson (Imbrişcă & Toma, 2020). Exemplary is a very good trait and is an
attitude of a character that the Prophet Muhammad SAW has also exemplified
since he was born until he was appointed as an Apostle and until the end of his
life the nature of exemplary he always taught his friends us his people. The
example of a teacher towards his students is also an obligation that must be
done as an educator, the head of the family towards his family members and
community leaders towards the community. We should not, as the main character,
set a bad example.
In this imitation phase, cooperation between the family
and the community is needed. A child will imitate and see the behavior of
adults around him. For that, we need an idol or model that is following good
behavior and deserves to be imitated to increase faith in Allah SWT then. This
is following the various conclusions of scientists that positive examples
contribute to religious education, and the most important thing is that there
is continuous cooperation between the community and the government and various
parties to achieve success, both success in the world of education and other
successes such as togetherness between government educational institutions.
Moreover, collaboration with others will facilitate a goal of success, such as
applying the exemplary method. However, in reality, there are not a few
students who have a less commendable nature, and in this study, the researchers
focused on one of the characters, honesty.
Seeing the current phenomenon, in the process of educating
children to become good honest individuals, they will experience great
challenges. Children need good examples and motivation to do better and to
serve as role models for them in pursuing adult and social life. Moreover, education
in this pandemic period is where children are legalized to play with gadgets
because of the learning process. In addition, Islamic boarding schools also
need a comfortable place to support the success of the learning process both in
religious learning and life learning because, with comfortable and supportive
conditions, educational goals will be easy to achieve. Especially for a santri who lives in an Islamic boarding school, the need
for a cleric or cleric figure as an example in various aspects of life is very
necessary. A santri who has consciously lived in a
boarding school to explore religious knowledge is, of course, far from his
parents, where a santri will certainly look for a
figure to be used as an imitation or example that he will follow in adapting to
a new environment for him, namely the Islamic boarding school.
As an
administrator, it would be nice to make the Prophet Muhammad SAW the main
example in setting an example to his students because there is a very good role
model in him. As an administrator who uses this exemplary method, he must
accept a consequence, namely that he must be able to carry out daily life in a
good and proper way to be an example for his students and must be strong in
facing various kinds of temptations. Because if it is wrong to entrust
children's education to the wrong Islamic boarding school, it is not impossible
that it will greatly affect the mindset of the santri
and is far from the main characteristics of a santri.
Darul Ulum Muhammadiyah
Islamic Boarding School Galur Kulon
Progo is a boarding school or non-formal educational
institution that has been around for a long time and has given birth to various
Muhammadiyah figures at both regional and national levels, one of which is ARFahruddin, so it is interesting for us to conduct
research related to exemplary methods and advice. Administrators to strengthen
the values of honesty for their students. In the learning process, Darul Ulum Muhammadiyah Galur Islamic Boarding School uses various methods, one of
which is by example.
Moreover, in his daily education, he prioritizes the
principle of kinship. An appropriate method, namely the exemplary method and
advice, is expected to strengthen the values of honesty in students, and it is
hoped that students will be able to obtain idol figures whose virtues can be
imitated and practiced in everyday life. Exemplary, advice and honesty are
daily teachings for students at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School Muhammadiyah Galur Kulon Progo.

researchers combine various data collection techniques and existing data
sources. Researchers collect data by triangulation to make it easier to obtain
valid data that can be accounted for and must be credible.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A. The application of the
exemplary method at the Darul Ulum
Muhammadiyah Islamic Boarding School in Galur Kulon Progo, Special Region of
Yogyakarta
A person's life will not
be separated from what is called "imitating" or imitating a behavior
carried out by other individuals. This phase is the stage where a person's
development will be formed. Moreover, in the context of education, the
imitation phase is where parents play an important role as an example that will
be imitated by children, with no exception for children or students who live in
Islamic boarding schools. The most influential people in Islamic boarding
schools will be used as role models or main figures to be imitated in various
ways by their students. This is because a board member in a boarding school
represents the figure of parents in a household.
Therefore, an
administrator in a boarding school must always behave well, following what has
been taught to his students. Moreover, making the Prophet Muhammad SAW the main
role model in various ways is something that an administrator in a boarding
school must apply. This is because there has been an extraordinary role model
in the Prophet Muhammad SAW, following the Qur'an surah Al-Ahzab
Verse 21:
"Indeed, the
Messenger of Allah has been a good role model for you (that is) for those who
hope (Rahmad) from Allah and (the coming of) the Day
of Judgment, and he mentions Allah a lot."
" Rasulullah SAW as the main role model for humanity. A good
person in Rasulullah SAW must be displayed by and
applied by an administrator in a boarding school. The Messenger of Allah
displayed good qualities even with those who hated him, and he still showed a
main and friendly nature. For this reason, it is proper for a caregiver,
administrator, or teacher in an Islamic boarding school to behave in a manner
that reflects the personality of the Prophet Muhammad SAW so that a student
will not lose his groove when he is later declared to have graduated from the
Islamic boarding school.
1. Direct application of
the exemplary method.
Often students or children imitate the behavior exhibited by
administrators in an Islamic boarding school or people who are more mature or
bigger. In this case, the behavior, actions or words of the administrator in a
boarding school will be imitated by the students when they see it. At this
moment, the process of instilling exemplary values by the administrators of
the Islamic Boarding School in their students takes place. Moreover, it is
hoped that the students will only imitate the good behavior of the boarding
school administrators. As for the interview with Mr. H. Daliman,
S.Ag as the director and
main manager of the Darul Ulum
Muhammadiyah Islamic Boarding School in Galur Kulon Progo, according to him:
"As a parent to
those in this Islamic Boarding School and the elders here, of course, I will
act responsibly. Be careful and behave well because every behavior and action I
do will get the attention of the students and the possibility of being imitated
is very large for that. I have to behave well, and this is also a method for me
to set a good example, for example, saying greetings when going to or going
home, putting on sandals, getting up on time, praying in congregation at the
mosque, speaking politely and dressing neatly (Daliman, 2022).
This is reinforced by continuous observations made in the Darul Ulum Muhammadiyah Islamic
Boarding School dormitory in Galur Kulon Progo. The students, before
and after returning from formal school, always greet while kissing the hands of
the administrators and say goodbye in polite language. The students also always
dress politely and neatly when they go to school. This reflects that the
students have made the administrators of the Islamic Boarding School parents
they respect in the Islamic Boarding School. Likewise, when they arrive at the
mosque, they also always arrange their sandals neatly, and it is very easy for
the worshipers when they want to go home from worshiping in the mosque (Observasi, 2022a).
In giving influence that aims to implement good things, there are
two forms of influence:
a)
Spontaneous influence
The management realizes
that they do not know when and where the students will imitate the behavior he
does. Therefore he always thinks carefully and
encourages students to follow the good things he does. The interview with Mr.
H. Daliman, S.Ag
as the administrator of the Darul Ulum
Muhammadiyah Galur Islamic Boarding School, is as
follows:
“I always teach students
to be able to speak smooth Javanese. Even though some of the students here are
from outside Java, so that all of them can speak smooth Javanese, I do not
hesitate to speak smooth Javanese when talking to them” (Daliman, 2022).
This is reinforced by
the results of interviews with a male student named Muhammad Isa Al-Hakam, a
student from Lampung. He stated:
"The administrators
always use the smooth Javanese language with me, even though I have a bit of
difficulty knowing the meaning and meaning. Sometimes I have to ask and study
with friends who understand in detail the fine Javanese language. And thank
God, little by little I can understand even though it is still difficult when I
want to recite it” (Al-Hakam, 2022).
This is also reinforced
by the results of observations at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School Muhammadiyah Galur dormitory. From the results of these observations, it
was found that almost all students, when permitted to leave the boarding school
environment by the administrators, always used smooth Javanese language (Observasi, 2022d).
b) Deliberate influence
In setting an example or role model for students, the
administrator must first teach about the good things that will be exemplified.
It aims to teach students always to imitate good things. The results of the
interview with Ustadz Didin
Saprudin, the administrator and teacher at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding
School Muhammadiyah Galur:
“Students don't always understand what we want to model for them.
Therefore, we need to give examples to them so that they understand. An example
is teaching them that when walking in front of older people, we must pay
respects by bowing our heads and we must continue to inform and teach students
that this is a reflection of paying respect to older people” (Saprudin, 2022).
This is reinforced by the observations of female students when
they come home from school and meet the researchers, and they automatically bow
their heads and pay their respects while saying greetings (Observasi, 2022b).
Often students do not just make what they see daily as something
to be imitated. However, sometimes, the things he hears can motivate him to do
the same. Because if the child finds it interesting and fun, then indirectly,
the child will do the same thing as what was told to him.
The results of the interview with Mr. H. Daliman,
S.Ag as the administrator of the Darul
Ulum Muhammadiyah Galur
Islamic Boarding School are as follows (Daliman, 2022):
“I always tell my life experiences and successful people to the
students. I hope that the students are motivated to achieve their goals and
have high spirits, never give up and are always enthusiastic even though they
are far away and have even been abandoned by their biological parents either
due to death or home."
brokenUstadz Edi Kurniawan,
as a teacher at the Darul Ulum
Islamic Boarding School Muhammadiyah Galur Kulon Progo:
"Mr. H. Daliman, S.Ag
always gives us direction so that when teaching the students to insert some
motivation and advice about life, either in the form of a story or a story. own
personal experience” (E. Kurniawan, 2022).
In the results of observations with a student named Aida Nur Aini, that she always wanted to add to her memorization of
the Al-Qur'an because she was motivated and always got advice from the boarding
school administrators and that she also wanted to memorize 30 juz so that she could get a free college scholarship (Observasi, 2022c).
Parents will educate
their children by setting an example of good things. Parents will have great
hopes for their children to grow and develop, accompanied by good morals or
morality. Likewise, the administrators in an Islamic boarding school
also try their best so that the students who study at the Islamic boarding
school have good morals that can lead students to become better, pious and pious
individuals following what the Prophet Muhammad SAW has exemplified.
The results of
interviews about exemplary methods and advice in forming the honesty values
of students at the Darul Ulum
Islamic Boarding School Muhammadiyah Galur are as
follows:
"I always
teach students to always keep their words. Because if they want to keep their
word, people will be easy to give a belief. Besides that, they will also be
easy to get along with, make friends and I also always say that it is not easy
to make promises, if they are not easy to keep” (Daliman, 2022).
The results of
interviews with several other administrators at the Darul
Ulum Islamic Boarding School Muhammadiyah Galur are as follows:
"I always include
advice in every teaching session, especially those related to morals, both
morals towards fellow humans and other creatures created by Allah SWT. And
several times I have conveyed behind the success story of someone that honesty
plays a very important role in the success process, and that can be used as a
real example for students to always be honest, good when communicating,
worshiping, and doing work” (Musthofa, 2022).
“Santri
will be easy to behave honestly if the environment around them is also
supportive. So, I always try to behave honestly. If I make a promise, I will do
my best to keep it. Besides that, I will also give advice if there are students
who are caught lying or are caught violating the regulations in Islamic
boarding schools so that they can be handled quickly and not spread to other
students” (Mulyana, 2022).
"I am here as an
administrator, of course, I will always teach and direct things that are good
and positive, and will give reprimands, both subtle and non-subtle to students
who commit violations, both minor and serious violations. And in every learning
process I also always give advice to the students to always prioritize doing
good over bad and for students who make mistakes to immediately close the
mistake with kindness and promise and try my best not to do it again" (Interview, 2022).
The results of
interviews with several students at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School Muhammadiyah Galur are as follows:
"We are happy with
Mr. H. Daliman, S.Ag. He
always cares for his students and does not discriminate against his students.
He was never angry even though sometimes we students also violated the rules.
He was always patient and often gave us advice. So, we are not afraid to admit
our mistakes. For example, when one of the students woke up late and did not
perform the morning prayer in the congregation at the mosque, the board of
directors did not give punishment but gave subtle but very touching advice to
our hearts and once again asked us not to repeat similar actions so as not to
become a bad habit in the future" (Apriansyah, 2020).
"Every time I want
to go to school, I always say goodbye first and shake hands and don't forget to
say hello to the administrators of the Islamic Boarding School besides being
taught to act like that, we also feel more comfortable and peaceful by doing
these positive routine activities" (Fadila, 2020).
This is reinforced by
the results of observations made during the learning process at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding
School Muhammadiyah Galur. Every time the Islamic
Boarding School Board of Directors finishes providing teaching knowledge to
their students. They deliver the closing by adding a piece of advice to their
students. The students then listened very solemnly to the administrator's
delivery, but some students also seemed engrossed in chatting with several
other students (Observasi, 2022e).
B. Application of the
Exemplary Method and Advice from Management at the Darul
Ulum Muhammadiyah Galur
Islamic Boarding School in Galur to Strengthen the
Values of Honesty
The exemplary method
that has been applied at the Darul Ulum Muhammadiyah Galur Islamic
Boarding School is a method that has the aim of forming a good character for
its students. The exemplary method at Pondok Pesantren Darul Ulum Muhammadiyah Galur aims to
form honest morals where honesty is a trait that can foster other good
behavior, and this was continued very well by the administrators of Pondok Pesantren in Darul Ulum Muhammadiyah Galur to be imitated, followed and implemented to become a
habit in life.
1. Stages of Application of
the Exemplary Method
a)
Preparation for the application of the exemplary method
For the direct application of the exemplary method, Mr. H. Daliman, S.Ag,
only did what he usually did. He carries out all activities with proper
attention to Islamic law. He realized that his students would imitate his
behavior, so he always acted more carefully in various things.
As for the preparation of exemplary indirect methods, he uses
stories that contain good advice from his own experience or the successful
experiences of other people he has met many times. He also often inserts
popular stories that are already known to the students.
b)
The application of the exemplary method
The application of the exemplary method starts from small things
that are sometimes considered light by most people, and this aims to foster
personal discipline in the students. An example is getting up in the morning on
time before the Fajr prayer and in congregation at
the mosque.
From the results of interviews with the students, Mr. H. Daliman, S.Ag,
often invites the students to get up on time and try their best to carry out
the Fajr prayer in the congregation at the mosque.
Likewise, the results of interviews with the Darul Ulum Muhammadiyah Galur Islamic
Boarding School administrators said that Mr. H. Daliman,
S.Ag, often wakes up before
dawn to invite the students to get up so they can attend congregational prayers
at the mosque. He invites the students and sets an example that he does what he
has taught his students.
There are two types of exemplary methods applied at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding
School, Muhammadiyah Galura, namely:
1)
Directly behavior of the management directly within the
Islamic Boarding School)
This exemplary method is a form where all the words and behavior
of the administrators in the Pondok Pesantren environment become a good example for the
students. The administrators and Ustad are always
expected to display good behavior in the hope that the students will imitate it
to become a habit. The daily behavior displayed by Mr. H. Daliman,
S.Ag, is not only to be an
example to the students but also to be responsible before Allah SWT as His
servant.
From the results of observations and interviews, the example of
the administrators at the Darul Ulum
Muhammadiyah Galur Islamic Boarding School to the
students starts from small things such as saying greetings, arranging sandals,
getting up on time, praying in congregation, speaking politely, and always
wearing neat clothes. . By often doing small things,
it is hoped that they will be able to influence the students so that students
will get used to doing them. It is from these small things that big things will
surely follow.
As seen from the influence, there are two forms of influence,
namely:
a) Spontaneous influence
Exemplary can take place spontaneously or unintentionally. This
example cannot be planned. This form comes entirely from the personal
management of the Islamic Boarding School. The management always controls their
behavior as a form of submission to Allah SWT and as a form of their
accountability in the future before Allah SWT. This can be a barometer for
teaching good things to the students.
In the results of observations and interviews, the administrators
got used to the smooth Javanese language. Even for students from outside Java,
even though the Boarding School administrators also use soft Javanese language
as their daily communication language, the students from outside Java slowly
but surely begin to understand the meaning of each subtle Javanese
pronunciation and try to pronounce it but still with their native dialect.
c) Deliberate influence
Deliberate exemplary is a way for administrators to provide instruction and
direction to students to understand good behavior better. This example is given
implicitly through a word and a direct example applied by the board of the
Islamic Boarding School.
In the results of observations and interviews, giving the
influence of exemplary deliberately is aimed at understanding the students. The
students are taught to respect their parents when sitting and standing by
bowing their heads and bowing and greeting when passing or passing in front of
older people.
2)
Non- indirectly/ through a
story or advice
The exemplary method indirectly is to provide an example through
stories or life experiences to become an example for the students. The stories
or experiences told by the Boarding School administrators can provide a new
spirit to achieve what is contained in the story that has been told or, more
broadly.
Based on the results of observations and interviews that the
influence given indirectly to the students made them motivated to achieve a
goal similar to what was conveyed through stories that they found interesting
and motivating. With these stories or stories, the administrators use them as a
medium of evaluation for the students, and the students also capture the
meaning of the stories conveyed so that they have a picture or concept in their
life.
2. The Application of the Exemplary
Method in Developing the Values of Honesty
The example given by parents has a great influence on the morals
of a child. Likewise, for children who do not live with their parents, the
adults around them become an important factor in developing their morals. The
example in question is certainly an example that teaches good behavior. An
example is an honest behavior.
The results of observations and interviews that exemplary in
strengthening the values of honesty in students at the Darul
Ulum Islamic Boarding School Muhammadiyah Galur. There are several important points, namely:
a) An honest attitude to students can be developed by teaching them
always to keep their words or words. By keeping their word, they will gain the
trust of others. As a result, people will have more confidence in themselves in
various ways.
b) Honesty in students develops because they are motivated through
good stories and honesty. By listening to stories and advice, they better
understand the meaning of honesty which they can implement in their daily
lives.
c) An honest attitude to students will develop if the environment
supports them always to be honest. With a good example from the people around
them, gradually, the students will get used to doing good behavior, including
being honest and honest.
d) Honesty in students will develop if students are allowed to
change. Panism is indeed sometimes a deterrent for
students who make a mistake. However, if students feel pressured because of panism or threats, it will only make them uncomfortable, so
their opportunities to be dishonest will be very open. With advice and in a
good way, students will be more open and easy to
change and slowly, their honest nature will be formed.
e) An honest attitude to students will be formed if they are given
trust. Trust will increase motivation for students to be honest. They will be
more comfortable in carrying out their daily activities, and the opportunity to
make problems becomes less.
B. The Problem of
Application of Exemplary Methods and Advice in Strengthening the Values of
Honesty at the Darul Ulum
Islamic Boarding School, Muhammadiyah Galur
In every implementation
of a method, of course, there will be an obstacle, problem, or factor that
hinders the running of the method. The problems experienced in applying the
exemplary method to strengthen the values of honesty at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding
School Muhammadiyah Galur are as follows:
1. Students’ Factors
a) The diverse characteristics of students
Each child certainly
has a character that is different from one another. Including students who live
in the Darul Ulum
Muhammadiyah Galur Islamic Boarding School. With
different cultural backgrounds, they have diverse characteristics. At the
beginning of being at the Islamic Boarding School, the students did not yet
know the rules that existed in the Islamic Boarding School. However, over time,
they began to get used to the rules. This diversity of nature and character
also greatly strengthens the honesty values of students at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding
School Muhammadiyah Galur. Some students are quick to
respond, easy to adapt, and easy to absorb the good things that the Pondok administrators have taught. Some must be repeatedly
given regarding good things. As for these diverse characteristics, the board of
Islamic boarding schools will respond wisely because each student has different
characteristics, let alone different regions.
b) Bad habits of students when they are still living with their
parents.
Every human being always begins to adapt to his new environment.
However, they may find it difficult to change their behavior from the old place
to the new place. Sometimes habits in the old place become obstacles. When you
have to be in a new place, and the majority is difficult to change your bad
habits, and When it clashes with the regulations of the Islamic Boarding
School, there will be new problems that require a deeper process and time. For
example, when in an old place they are not accustomed to getting up in the
morning to perform the Fajr prayer in congregation,
it will be very difficult for students who are not accustomed to performing the
Fajr prayer, especially for those who do not perform
the five daily prayers at all, the habituation process will require a more
systematic process more deeply.
2. Environmental Factors
Problems originating from environmental factors are very broad in
scope. As stated in the previous chapter. A child who has found a bad figure,
especially an idol in himself, will also tend to be bad. Maybe in the Pondok Pesantren environment,
students will find good figures, but this will not apply when students have
left the Pondok Pesantren
environment. for example, in schools or the community, there is a possibility
that students will be affected by these unfavorable figures. For example, a
student at a boarding school who has never known a smoker does not rule out the
possibility that at school, he is friends with friends who smoke mostly and the
possibility of being influenced to participate in smoking is also very large.
Another environmental problem is the influence of television
viewing habits on students. Television, a good medium of information for humans
and students, can also be bad information for students. Negative impressions of
revealing genitalia shown on television can also be a bad motivational figure
for students to participate in implementing it in their lives. Not a few
programs that are not educating are played repeatedly on television shows. This
can make a student's memorization directly or indirectly disappear from his
memory. Watching television is not prohibited. It is just that it would be
better if you only consume television shows of value and the need for
assistance by parents or administrators so that good self-control occurs when
watching television shows.
D.
Efforts to Overcome Problems in Application of Exemplary Methods
and Advice in Strengthening the Values of Honesty in Darul
Ulum Islamic Boarding School Muhammadiyah Galur
Efforts made to overcome the problem of applying the exemplary
method include the following:
1. Students’ Factors
a)
Trying to understand the differences like students.
Each student has their characteristics and
traits. In this case, the board of the Islamic boarding school tries to
understand all kinds of differences in the characteristics of the students they
manage. Moreover, the administrator should not feel burdened with differences
in the nature and character of the students he manages. An administrator must
act fairly between one student and another. This will make the administrators
calmer in handling and teaching the students.
b)
Always remind students to get rid of bad habits at home.
After equipping the administrators with an
understanding of the diversity of the nature of their students, the next step
is to remind and help students get rid of bad habits while still in their
homes. The administrators are not tired of giving advice and approaching the
students individually to get used to something good, positive and Islamic law
and start to leave various bad habits that violate Islamic law.
In addition, the administrators can provide positive activities
that can make the students gradually eliminate the bad habits they brought from
home. It also serves to build closeness between administrators and students.
2. Environmental factors
In overcoming problems from outside the boarding school management
environment, it can provide an understanding of good and bad things in the
environment around students. This effort aims to overcome and fortify the
students themselves from the bad influence of the environment, which at any
time can become a very serious threat. Not a few things that are not good in
the environment or the wider world will be encountered by the students.
Providing direction on what is good and bad, at least it can be a provision in
sorting out the influences that enter a student who comes from around his
environment.
CONCLUSION
The exemplary method in
strengthening the values of honesty at the Darul Ulum Muhammadiyah Galur Islamic
Boarding School includes two forms of the first method, namely directly through
the words and behavior of the management and the second, which indirectly means
through stories that are expected to be able to provide advice life and as a
view in attitude when they have left the Islamic Boarding School and have
plunged into the world of society so that they have a strong foundation and are
not easily shaken, especially in positive things. Meanwhile, the stories
conveyed by the Board of Islamic Boarding School administrators are sourced
from both the personal stories of the administrators and the stories of other
people or figures both nationally and internationally to provide an overview of
the facts in the delivery of exemplary methods, especially stories related to
the process of strengthening honesty. . In the process
of developing exemplary methods to strengthen the values of honesty, namely
spontaneously and intentionally. Spontaneously it means that students imitate
honest behavior that has been taught and shown directly by the boarding school
administrators, while intentionally, it is that students get advice and
motivation obtained from stories related to the process of strengthening
honesty values.
The problem that becomes an
obstacle in the strategy process of strengthening honesty values through
exemplary methods and advice at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School Muhammadiyah Galur is a problem that starts from the students themselves
and problems that come from the home environment where the students live and in
handling them requires a process that is not short and differs between the
personal problems of the students themselves and problems that come from their
environment.
In overcoming problems that
become obstacles in the strategy process of strengthening honesty values
through exemplary methods and advice at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School Muhammadiyah Galur, it takes several efforts, both problems that come
from the students themselves and problems that come from the environment where
they live. Efforts to overcome problems from personal self are for the
administrators to understand that there are very significant differences
between individual students from one and not to forget to advise the students to
eliminate bad habits from their homes. As for problems that come from the
environment, it is to provide an understanding of good and bad things in the
environment around students, both specifically and in general, so that they are
expected to be able to become self-fortresses while in the community.
