RELEVANSI IBADAH PAGI TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN SPIRITUAL SISWA SMP

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Students' spiritual development is an important aspect in character formation, but there is still a low level of religious discipline, social awareness, and moral values ??among students. One effort that can foster spiritual values ??is the implementation of morning worship at school. This activity functions not only as a religious routine, but also as a means of fostering faith and spiritual habits that have an impact on students' positive behavior. This study aims to determine the relevance of morning worship to the spiritual growth of students at the UPTD SMP Negeri 4 Gunungsitoli Selatan. The method used is quantitative with a sample of 30 students from a population of 199 people (15%). Data were collected through a questionnaire containing 30 statements, tested for validity and reliability (rii = 0.625). The results of the normality test showed that the data were normally distributed, while the linearity test showed a linear relationship between variables. Based on the hypothesis test, t = 9.561 > t = 1.697, which means there is a significant influence between morning worship and students' spiritual growth. Thus, morning worship plays an important role in fostering students' spiritual awareness, morality and religious character, so it needs to be developed more creatively and consistently in the school environment.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui relevansi ibadah pagi terhadap pertumbuhan spiritual siswa di UPTD SMP Negeri 4 Gunungsitoli Selatan. Metode yang digunakan ialah kuantitatif dengan sampel 30 siswa dari populasi 199 orang (15%). Data dikumpulkan melalui angket berisi 30 butir pernyataan, diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya (rii = 0,625).
