Program Gelar Matras sebagai sarana penguatan nilai-nilai keagamaan

Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of strengthening students’ religious character amid the decline in discipline and spiritual awareness following the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools are expected to provide programs that are not merely partial, but integrative and inclusive in shaping students’ character. This study aims to describe the implementation and analyze the contribution of the Matras Program in strengthening the religious values of Grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Pacitan. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study, through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques, and was analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and data verification stages. The results show that the program was implemented in a structured manner through planning, organizing, implementation, and evaluation stages involving various school elements. This program integrates congregational prayer with fingerprint attendance, tausiyah, and religious literacy, especially for non-Muslim students and those with religious exemptions, into one inclusive habituation system. The student participation rate reached 90%, resulting in increased student discipline, responsibility, religiosity, tolerance, communication and critical thinking skills, while also creating a religious and conducive school climate. The conclusion of this study affirms that the Matras Program is an effective, holistic, and sustainable model of religious habituation in shaping students’ religious character through the continuous integration of worship, reflection, and literacy aspects.
