Transforming the Values of Moral Habituation in Akhlakul Banin: A Community Engagement Program in Aek Hitetoras Village
Keywords:
Akhlakul Banin, Moral Habituation, Children, Community EngagementAbstract
Religious education does not always translate into the development of ethical conduct in children’s everyday lives. The gap between knowledge of moral values and their behavioral application has emerged as a concern among children in Aek Hitetoras Village, Sei Merbau District, North Labuhanbatu Regency. This community engagement program aimed to implement the values of Akhlakul Banin through learning, practical activities, and habituation to strengthen children’s character. The program employed the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. The results indicate that the values presented in Akhlakul Banin could be integrated into children’s daily behaviors, including greeting others, asking permission before leaving home, speaking respectfully to parents and teachers, apologizing, expressing gratitude, and maintaining appropriate conduct in social interactions. The involvement of parents and religious teachers further reinforced the habituation process beyond the community engagement activities. As a partner village for ongoing community development, program sustainability is supported through the continued use of instructional modules by religious teachers, independent mentoring, periodic behavioral monitoring, and strengthened family involvement to ensure the sustained internalization of moral values.
