THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROPHETIC EDUCATION THROUGH THE ROLE OF ISLAMIC RELIGION TEACHERS AT SMP NEGERI 27 SOUTH HALMAHERA

Abstract

This research is motivated by the critical condition at SMP Negeri 27 South Halmahera, which has only one Islamic Religious Education teacher to handle all students from grades VII to IX amidst a community environment with minimal religious activities, raising questions about how prophetic values can be effectively internalized. This study aims to analyze the implementation of prophetic education through the role of Islamic Religious Education teachers, focusing on six aspects: policy standards and objectives, resources, characteristics of implementing agents, implementer attitudes, inter-organizational communication, and social, economic, and political environmental conditions. Using Van Meter and Van Horn's grand theory enriched with perspectives from Edwards III, Mazmanian-Sabatier, and Matland, this research applies a qualitative descriptive approach through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, with data analysis through reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the implementation of prophetic education continues to run well despite facing limitations such as a minimal religious environment, only one PAI teacher, simple facilities, limited budget, and unstable internet access, driven by the commitment, creativity, and role modeling of the single PAI teacher. Positive impacts are evident from changes in student behavior who have begun to show habits of prayer, honesty, politeness, and concern for others, leading this study to conclude that prophetic education can be effectively implemented in remote areas when supported by a PAI teacher who is highly committed, creative, adaptive, and receives support from the principal and involvement of various parties, even on a limited scale.
