PENGARUH PROGRAM KEAGAMAAN REMAJA MASJID AL-AMIN TERHADAP INTERNALISASI NILAI-NILAI PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DAN RELIGIUSITAS REMAJA DI DESA LAPARA

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of the religious program of Remaja Masjid Al-Amin on the internalization of Islamic education values and the level of religiosity among adolescents in Lapara Village, Siompu District, South Buton Regency. The background of this study is grounded in a compelling phenomenon whereby a mosque-based religious program within a resource-limited island rural community succeeded in producing a significant influence on the character formation and religiosity of its youth. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, in which data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving 17 active members of Remaja Masjid Al-Amin. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. To measure the magnitude of influence, Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis was applied, yielding an r-count value of 0.571, which exceeded the r-table value of 0.514 at a 5% significance level with df = 15, thereby confirming a statistically significant relationship between the two variables. The coefficient of determination revealed that the religious program contributed 32.60% toward the improvement of adolescent religiosity, while the remaining 67.40% was attributed to other factors such as family environment, peer relationships, and social media. Qualitatively, the religious program was proven capable of shifting adolescents' religious orientation from one that is formal and external toward a deeper and more authentic internalization of Islamic values in their daily lives. These findings contribute to the achievement of SDG 4 on quality education and SDG 16 on peace and strong institutions through the strengthening of youth character via community-based religious institutions.
