Abstract

This study focuses on promoting environmentally responsible behavior through humanistic education among fourth-grade students at SD Alam Tangerang. The research aims to analyze the effects of humanistic education on students' environmentally responsible behavior in their daily lives. A descriptive qualitative method was used, with data collection techniques including observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Data validation was carried out using source triangulation through interviews with the school principal, fourth-grade teachers, and three fourth-grade students, as well as technique triangulation, which included observation, interviews, and document analysis. The data analysis followed Miles and Huberman's interactive approach, which involved data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The study's findings suggest that humanistic education should be implemented in elementary schools with a holistic and comprehensive approach. This education was essential for developing students' moral values, ethics, empathy, and environmental responsibility from an early age. Humanistic education places students at the center of the learning process, enabling them to develop critical thinking, creativity, and reflective skills. In practice, this approach should be integrated into the elementary schoolcurriculum through intramural activities, such as teaching mathematics, the Indonesian language, and other subjects related to environmental issues, as well as extracurricular activities like tree planting and environmental campaigns.

Abstract

Strengthening religious character in schools is an effort to equip students with a solid moral and ethical awareness of religious values. School culture is vital in developing students' religious character through various constructive methods, approaches, programs, and activities. This research aims to explore the practice of strengthening religious character at MI Roudlotun Nasyi'in Singosari Malang, which focuses on (a) the role of teachers in strengthening students' religious character at school, (b) school culture in strengthening students' religious character, and (c) the challenges faced schools in strengthening religious character. The research found that teachers are school role models, designing valuable learning inspiring, and motivating students. Apart from that, it was found that school culture, which plays a role in strengthening religious character, includes the habit of performing dhuha prayers, reading the Asmaul Husna before learning, midday prayers in congregation, commemorating Islamic holidays, and reading and writing the Qur'an every day. The findings also show that the challenges schools face in strengthening religious character include student discipline in participating in school activities, student consistency in carrying out good habits, and control over the continuity of good practices at home. This research is helpful for educational institutions, practitioners, and anyone who pays attention to education as a reference in developing a positive culture in schools and material for reflection in determining strategic programs for developing student character in schools.
