Urgensi Rekonstruksi Pola Asuh Masyarakat Pandalungan dalam Menguatkan Karakter Religius Siswa SD/MI di Tengah Krisis Moral

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the dialectic of parenting patterns in the Pandalungan community in the process of internalizing religious character in elementary school students (SD/MI). The Pandalungan community, as a cultural entity resulting from the assimilation of Javanese and Madurese elements, exhibits complex parenting practices that combine rigid religious adherence with social flexibility. This research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with students' parents, participant observation of students' religious activities,  and  documentation  of  character  development  records  at  school.  Data analysis employed the Miles and Huberman model, which encompasses data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate a dynamic dialectic between authoritarian-religious parenting (characteristic of Madurese culture) and persuasive-harmonious parenting (characteristic of Javanese culture). The process of internalizing students' religious character in elementary schools (SD/MI) is realized through three main mechanisms: The practice of disciplined religious rituals, role models based on local wisdom, and the reinforcement of moral values adaptive to the school  environment.  This  dialectic  successfully  shapes  students  who  are  not  only ritually obedient but also moderate in their social interactions within the school environment. These findings confirm that the strength of religious character of elementary  school  students  in  the  Pandalungan  region  is  rooted  in  the  cultural synthesis that occurs within the family environment.
