IMPLEMENTATION OF DHUHA PRAYER HABIT IN IMPROVING STUDENT DISCIPLINE

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of dhuha prayer habituation as a strategy to improve student discipline. This study aims to describe the implementation of dhuha prayer habit, analyze its impact on the six dimensions of student discipline, and identify supporting and inhibiting factors. A descriptive qualitative approach is used with data collection techniques in the form of observation, structured interviews, and documentation. Data analysis follows Miles and Huberman's interactive model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn; the validity of the data is strengthened through triangulation of sources, techniques, and time. The results of the study show that the weekly dhuha prayer program is carried out every Friday morning before class starts making a significant contribution to the formation of student discipline. The disciplines formed include time discipline, behavioral discipline, social discipline, spiritual discipline, emotional discipline, and indirectly academic discipline. The main supporting factors include the active commitment of teachers, parental support, and the religious culture of the school. The obstacles identified are the absence of a special prayer room, limited means of worship, inconsistency of habituation at home, and various levels of students' awareness of the meaning of dhuha prayer.
