IMPLEMENTATION OF COLLABORATIVE TEACHER BASED MORAL DEVELOPMENT METHODS AT SMPN 16 SOUTH JAKARTA

Abstract

This study examines the collaborative methods of moral development implemented
by Islamic Education teachers (PAI), Guidance and Counseling teachers (BK),
subject teachers, and homeroom teachers in addressing students’ negative
behavior at SMPN 16 South Jakarta. Moral issues among adolescents such as
bullying, truancy, smoking, disrespect toward teachers, verbal aggression, and
vandalism require an integrated and systematic approach. Using a qualitative
descriptive method with a case study design, data were collected through
interviews, observations, and document analysis. The participants included PAI
teachers, BK teachers, subject teachers, homeroom teachers, and selected
students. The findings show that the collaborative moral development in the school
is carried out through various methods, including role modeling, habituation, advice,
storytelling, motivation, peer influence, cause and effect explanation, discipline, and
educative punishment. These methods are applied through coordinated
communication and shared responsibility among teachers. Collaboration enhances
consistency in moral guidance and enables teachers to more effectively identify
students’ behavioral problems while ensuring appropriate follow-up actions.This
study concludes that collaborative methods significantly strengthen the
effectiveness of moral development, foster positive student behavior, and support
the creation of a holistic character education environment in schools.
