Does the Value of Religion Guarantee Students’ Moral Character? Case Study at Muhammadiyah Islamic School in Grade Twelve in English Language Learning

Veranita Helmawan

Abstract


This study aimed to identify the factors influencing misbehavior among 12th-grade students during English language learning at Muhammadiyah Islamic School in North Bali. Misbehavior refers to any disruptive actions that interfere with the teaching and learning process, such as talking out of turn, not following instructions, or using inappropriate language. A qualitative descriptive research design was applied, involving teachers, counseling staff, and students as subjects. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and surveys. The findings revealed that misbehavior, such as disrupting lessons, tardiness, inattentiveness, and use of inappropriate language, was driven by both internal and external factors. This study concludes that addressing student misbehavior requires collaborative efforts between teachers, parents, and school administrators. Providing counseling, improving parental engagement, and fostering a more supportive learning environment are suggested as practical solutions to mitigate misbehavior. These implications highlight the need for holistic strategies to create a disciplined and conducive educational atmosphere.
