Implementasi Karakter Disiplin Melalui Komunikasi Behaviorisme Terhadap Santri DTA Al-Kautsar Gegersuni Bandung

Abstract

The implementation of disciplinary character through behaviorism communication to students is very important to be carried out, because discipline is very well instilled at the elementary school level. This study aims to find out how behaviorism communication is applied by teachers in shaping disciplinary character among students. The research was conducted at DTA Al Kautsar, located in Gegersuni, Bandung, using a qualitative approach with descriptive methods in the form of interview instruments, documentation studies, literacy studies, and observations. The results of the study showed that there were supporting factors, inhibiting factors, implementation constraints, and efforts made through communication that was applied, with the results of increasing the implementation of student discipline character education such as arriving on time, praying the obligatory prayers starting at the mosque, and dressing neatly according to applicable rules. The supporting factors found include internal support from the teachers and the mosque management board, as well as external support from a philanthropic institution and the government, while the inhibiting factors include the limited number of full-time teaching staff and weak parental motivation. This research is expected to provide input for similar educational institutions in strengthening student discipline through effective communication strategies.
