Pembiasaan Muhasabah Harian melalui Jurnal Reflektif untuk Meningkatkan Kesadaran Diri Siswa Kelas IV SDIT Insan Kamil

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of daily muhasabah (self-reflection) through reflective journals in enhancing self-awareness among fourth-grade students at SDIT Insan Kamil. The research was motivated by the need to integrate Islamic values with pedagogical strategies to foster holistic character development. A descriptive qualitative case study approach was employed, involving classroom observations, student journals, and interviews with teachers. Data were collected over one month and analyzed through thematic analysis. Results indicated significant improvements in students' self-awareness, evidenced by their ability to identify emotions, evaluate behaviors, and articulate personal reflections. Students demonstrated increased responsibility, empathy, and proactive self-improvement. Teachers observed enhanced emotional openness and critical thinking skills among participants. The reflective journal also served as a communication tool, enabling teachers to address individual student needs effectively. The study concludes that daily muhasabah through reflective journals is a practical and impactful method for nurturing self-awareness in Islamic elementary education. Recommendations include teacher training, parental involvement, and broader implementation of reflective practices in Islamic schools.
