Uswah hasanah guru dalam perkembangan moral dan role modelling siswa

Abstract

This study discusses the role of teachers’ uswah hasanah (good exemplary conduct) in students’ moral development and the role modelling process from a psychological perspective. In Islamic education, teachers are not only responsible for delivering knowledge, but also serve as role models whose behavior and attitudes become examples for students. This study aims to analyze the concept of teachers’ uswah hasanah and its influence on the formation of students’ morals. This research uses a qualitative method with a library research approach to gain a deeper understanding and collect relevant information regarding the concept of teachers’ uswah hasanah in students’ moral development and role modelling. Data were obtained through the study of the Qur’an, Hadith, scientific journals, and books, and were then analyzed descriptively and analytically. The results of the study indicate that teachers’ exemplary qualities, such as shiddiq (truthfulness), amanah (trustworthiness), tabligh (communicativeness), fathanah (wisdom/intelligence), and istiqamah (consistency), have a significant influence on the formation of students’ religious character and moral values. From the perspective of psychology of religion, students’ moral development occurs through stages of cognitive understanding, emotional appreciation, value internalization, and implementation in daily behavior. Teachers’ exemplary conduct has proven to be more effective than merely delivering theoretical knowledge because it involves processes of imitation, habituation, and students’ emotional experiences. Therefore, teachers’ uswah hasanah becomes the main factor in shaping students who possess noble character, religiosity, and strong personalities.

Penelitian ini membahas tentang peran uswah hasanah guru dalam perkembangan moral dan proses role modelling siswa melalui perspektif psikologi. Guru dalam pendidikan Islam tidak hanya berperan sebagai penyampai ilmu, tetapi juga sebagai teladan yang perilaku dan sikapnya menjadi contoh bagi peserta didik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konsep uswah hasanah guru serta pengaruhnya terhadap pembentukan moral siswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur (library research) untuk mendalami pemahaman dan mengumpulkan informasi yang relevan mengenai konsep uswah hasanah guru dalam perkembangan moral dan role modelling siswa. Data diperoleh melalui kajian Al-Qur’an, Hadis, jurnal ilmiah, buku, dan kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif-analitis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keteladanan guru melalui sifat shiddiq, amanah, tabligh, fathanah, dan istiqamah memiliki pengaruh besar terhadap pembentukan karakter religius dan moral siswa. Dalam perspektif psikologi agama, perkembangan moral siswa berlangsung melalui tahapan pemahaman kognitif, penghayatan emosional, internalisasi nilai, hingga penerapan dalam perilaku sehari-hari. Keteladanan guru terbukti lebih efektif dibandingkan penyampaian teori semata karena melibatkan proses imitasi, pembiasaan, dan pengalaman emosional siswa. Dengan demikian, uswah hasanah guru menjadi faktor utama dalam membentuk peserta didik yang berakhlak mulia, religius, dan memiliki kepribadian yang kuat.
