STRATEGI GURU MATA PELAJARAN SEJARAH KEBUDAYAAN ISLAM DALAM MENUMBUHKAN NILAI TOLERANSI SISWA KELAS VII: STUDI KASUS DI MTS BUSTANUL ULUM BULUGADING BANGSALSARI

Abstract

This study examines the strategies employed by Islamic Cultural History (SKI) teachers to cultivate tolerance values among seventh-grade students at MTs Bustanul Ulum Bulugading Bangsalsari. Tolerance in this research is understood as students' ability to respect differences, listen to peer opinions, participate fairly in group work, and transform historical knowledge into inclusive social behavior. The study used a qualitative case study design based on document analysis of lesson plans, teaching materials, student worksheets, classroom activity notes, and supporting learning documentation on the theme of Pre-Islamic Arab Society. Data were analyzed through reduction, thematic organization, interpretation, and conclusion drawing, while credibility was strengthened by comparing documents and discussing the findings with contemporary literature on character education, cooperative learning, guided discovery, multimedia learning, and Islamic multicultural education. The findings show that tolerance values are internalized through five integrated strategies: explicit instruction oriented to inclusive historical reflection, cooperative learning with proportional role distribution, guided discovery using directed reading, contextual visual media, and reflective reinforcement of social behavior. The study confirms that SKI learning can shift from memorizing historical facts to a meaningful character-building process when teachers deliberately connect historical content, learning interaction, and moral reflection.
