Morning Activity in Building Student Character at SDIT Alam Al-Uswah Bangil

Abstract

Education encompasses more than mere academic instruction; it must also prioritize character formation to nurture well-rounded students. In light of the widespread moral decline currently observed among children, character education has become imperative, particularly within the context of schools. Morning activities can serve as a conduit for character education, fostering positive behavioral changes among students. This study aims to analyze the implementation of morning activities in schools, as well as to determine their role in character formation for students at SDIT Alam Al-Uswah Bangil.The study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection was carried out using observation, interview, and documentation techniques. Data analysis was carried out using reduction techniques, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The study's findings indicate that the morning activities at SDIT Alam Al-Uswah Bangil encompass the pledge, the five principles of Islam, prayer, motor skills, reading the Al-Matsurat, and the congregational Dhuha prayer. Furthermore, the study's findings suggest that these morning activities are effective in shaping students' character by instilling religious values, discipline, responsibility, and cooperation .
