Abstract

This study examines how Civic Education (PKn) instructional strategies shape the internalization of national character among students in an Islamic junior high school context. Employing a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, quantitative data were collected from 135 students using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and one-way ANOVA. Qualitative data were gathered through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, and analyzed thematically. Quantitative results indicate a high overall level of national character internalization (M = 4.12), with love for the homeland (M = 4.32) and tolerance (M = 4.21) emerging as the strongest dimensions, while practical nationalism (M = 3.89) remains comparatively lower. A statistically significant moderate positive correlation was found between instructional strategies and national character internalization (r = 0.46, p < .05), alongside significant differences across grade levels (F = 2.87, p = .042), with higher internalization among Grade IX students. Qualitative findings explain these patterns by showing that participatory and experiential strategies such as discussions, simulations, and project-based learning, effectively foster students’ affective engagement and moral reflection, yet opportunities for sustained behavioral enactment remain limited. The findings conceptualize national character internalization as a differentiated process encompassing moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action, where instructional strategies more strongly influence affective commitment than consistent civic behavior. Theoretically, this study contributes to citizenship education scholarship by refining the multidimensional understanding of value internalization. Practically, it highlights the need for inclusive and experience-based pedagogical approaches supported by structured opportunities for real-world civic practice in religious secondary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to find out the application of guidance for reading the Qur'an for fourth grade students of MIS Muslimat NU Palangka Raya City. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the guidance program is carried out systematically through madrasah support, individual mentoring, and the application of the Iqra method as basic learning and the Tilawati method to improve the fluency and accuracy of reading. The findings of the study revealed that some students still have difficulty in recognizing and reciting hijayah letters, especially in distinguishing between long and short readings (mad and qashr), which are influenced by differences in students' learning ability, comprehension, and focus level. To overcome these obstacles, teachers apply strategies in the form of special attention, practice and repetition of reading, effective time management, and motivation so that students are more concentrated and confident. The results of the study confirm that intensive, gradual, and continuous guidance is effective in supporting the improvement of students' Qur'an reading skills.
