Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by Akidah Akhlak teachers to internalize the value of honesty among students and to identify the factors influencing the effectiveness of this process. Honesty is a fundamental moral value that plays a crucial role in shaping students’ character, particularly amid growing concerns regarding academic dishonesty, plagiarism, and broader integrity issues in contemporary society. This research adopted a qualitative approach using a descriptive design. Data were collected through participatory observations, in-depth interviews with Akidah Akhlak teachers, school principals, and student representatives, as well as documentation analysis of instructional activities and learning materials. The findings reveal that the internalization of honesty values is implemented through several key strategies, including contextual value integration in active learning, habituation of independent and responsible academic behavior, teacher role modeling (uswatun hasanah), social control through educational sanctions, and regular moral reflection activities. These strategies contribute significantly to strengthening students’ awareness and practice of honest behavior in both academic and social contexts. The study implies that sustainable collaboration between schools and parents is essential to ensure the consistent reinforcement of honesty values beyond the formal learning environment.
