Abstract

Reading literacy is an important basic skill in Islamic Cultural History learning because low literacy can reduce student motivation and understanding. This study aims to analyse student learning motivation and understanding in Islamic Cultural History learning through the implementation of a reading literacy habit-forming programme at Madasah Aliyah (MA) NU Nurul Huda. The study uses a qualitative approach with field research and case study design. Data collection techniques included observation, in-depth interviews with Islamic Cultural History teachers, students, and literacy programme managers, as well as documentation. The literacy programme was implemented through independent reading activities for 10–15 minutes before Islamic Cultural History lessons on a regular basis. The results showed that the reading literacy habit-forming programme had a positive impact on students' learning motivation and comprehension. Intrinsically, students showed an increase in reading interest, confidence, and learning activity, while extrinsically, the role of teachers and a conducive classroom atmosphere supported the success of the programme. In addition, literacy habits helped students understand Islamic Cultural History material in a more contextual manner. Thus, the reading literacy habit programme is effective as a strategy for learning Islamic Cultural History.

Abstrak

Literasi membaca merupakan keterampilan dasar yang penting dalam pembelajaran Sejarah Kebudayaan Islam (SKI), karena rendahnya literasi dapat menurunkan motivasi dan pemahaman siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis motivasi belajar dan pemahaman siswa dalam pembelajaran SKI melalui penerapan program pembiasaan literasi membaca di MA NU Nurul Huda. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian lapangan dan desain studi kasus. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi observasi, wawancara mendalam dengan guru SKI, siswa, dan pengelola program literasi, serta dokumentasi. Program literasi dilaksanakan melalui kegiatan membaca mandiri selama 10–15 menit sebelum pembelajaran SKI secara rutin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa program pembiasaan literasi membaca memberikan dampak positif terhadap motivasi belajar dan pemahaman siswa. Secara intrinsik, siswa menunjukkan peningkatan minat baca, kepercayaan diri, dan keaktifan belajar, sedangkan secara ekstrinsik peran guru dan suasana kelas yang kondusif mendukung keberhasilan program. Selain itu, pembiasaan literasi membantu siswa memahami materi SKI secara lebih kontekstual. Dengan demikian, program pembiasaan literasi membaca efektif sebagai strategi pembelajaran SKI.
