Strategies of Ustadzah in Shaping Female Students’ Learning Ethics through Qur’anic Instruction at Baitul Qur’an Islamic Boarding School, Wonogiri

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by ustadzah in shaping the learning ethics of female students through Qur’anic instruction at Baitul Qur’an Islamic Boarding School, Wonogiri. The research adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design to gain an in-depth understanding of the pedagogical practices and ethical internalization processes within the pesantren context. The objectives of this study are to identify the instructional strategies used by the ustadzah, to examine the process of internalizing learning ethics among female students, and to evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies in fostering ethical learning behavior. The methodology involves data collection through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The research sample consists of 30 female students who actively participate in Qur’anic learning programs. Data analysis is conducted using an interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, to ensure the validity and reliability of the findings. The results indicate that the strategies implemented by the ustadzah include modeling (uswah hasanah), habituation, motivational reinforcement, and individualized guidance. These strategies significantly contribute to the development of students’ learning ethics, reflected in discipline (83%), responsibility (80%), respect toward teachers (87%), and consistency in Qur’anic learning practices (85%). The findings demonstrate that Qur’anic-based instruction plays a crucial role in strengthening ethical learning behaviors among female students in the pesantren environment.
