COMMUNICATION PATTERNS OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TEACHERS IN BUILDING STUDENT RELIGIOSITY: FRAMING ANALYSIS

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This study investigates how Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers at MAN 2 Karanganyar construct and deliver religious messages through communication strategies that play a role in shaping students’ religiosity. This research is based on the need for teacher communication that not only focuses on delivering material but also functions as a medium for moral and spiritual development. Using a qualitative case study research design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation, and were analyzed using Entman’s framing model which includes problem definition, causal interpretation, moral evaluation, and treatment recommendation. The findings show that PAI teachers apply persuasive, dialogic, and contextual communication patterns combined with humor, role-modeling, and relevant examples that help students relate Islamic teachings to daily life. The framing of religious messages emphasizes moral discipline, worship obligations, and the relevance of Islamic values in contemporary contexts, which contributes to increased motivation, moral awareness, and student participation in religious activities. Overall, the study concludes that success in fostering religiosity in the madrasa is greatly influenced by the teacher’s ability to frame religious messages in a humanistic and meaningful manner according to the students’ life context.
