Good Habits Source of Energy and Motivation at SMP Taruna Jaya 1
Habit is an activity or things that are often done. Meanwhile, according to Witherington in Djaali habit is a way of acting that is obtained through repeated learning, which in the end becomes permanent and automatic. (Djaali Haji, 2012). So a good habit is a positive activity that is done repeatedly.
Good habits can encourage student learning motivation. According to Damayanti, learning motivation is an impulse within the individual that moves, directs, generates, manages, maintains, and maintains one's behavior towards a goal or goal that has been made. (Shinta Damayanti, 2019)
From the definitions above, the writer argues that good habits can encourage students' learning motivation. As happened at SMP Taruna Jaya 1, good habits have been applied for several years. These good habits are carried out by teachers and students at SMP Taruna Jaya 1 every day. What are these good habits?
Every morning, the teacher welcomes the students in front of the entrance gate. Every day the teachers and employees of SMP Taruna Jaya 1 are obliged to greet students with smiles, greetings and greetings. This activity must be carried out by all employees and teachers because it has been scheduled routinely according to a predetermined schedule. This habit will motivate students to come on time. By getting used to welcoming and greeting students, it is hoped that they will set a good example for students at SMP Taruna Jaya 1. According to Nurfadilah, the teacher occupies a position as a central figure. Therefore it would be nice for a teacher to come to school before class starts. (Nurfadilah. M, 2016)
After the students are confirmed to have entered the school area, the teacher then continues the next routine activity, namely Murojaah Juz 30 and Surat Al-Kahf on Friday. This activity was led by the school principal and one of the teachers appointed to lead the reading of juz 30. This Murojaah activity was also carried out by the students. After the teacher finished reading Juz 30, one of the teachers coordinated the students for Muroja^ah by appointing one of the students to lead the reading of Juz 30 using a loudspeaker. Al-Quran reading activities carried out every morning will certainly have a positive impact on students if the teacher continues to supervise and provide motivation so that the enthusiasm of students continues to grow. Because the habit of reading the Koran will not go well without supervision from the teacher. (Ria Fatmala, 2019)
The next habit is praying dhuhr in congregation. Before the last class hour, teachers and students head to the mosque to perform the midday prayer in congregation. This habit aims to train students to be disciplined in carrying out Islamic religious obligations, namely prayer. Another goal is to accustom students to praying five times a day in congregation. Because praying in congregation is better than praying alone.
The last routine is Clean and Healthy Friday. Every two weeks on Friday, all Taruna Jaya 1 Middle School residents carry out Clean and Healthy Friday activities. The details of this activity are starting with morning exercises together and then continuing with cleaning the school environment according to the groups that have been divided. The group for this activity is divided into five groups; Garden team, Garden team, Fish team, recycling team and Mushroom team. Each team has its own duties. The Garden Team is in charge of cleaning and decorating the garden around the school environment. The Garden Team is in charge of cleaning the garden area. The Fish Team is tasked with caring for and cleaning ponds for freshwater fish farming. The recycling team is responsible for cleaning, sorting and processing waste. The Mushroom Team is in charge of cleaning and preparing the media for mushroom cultivation.
The activities above are good habits for the people of SMP Taruna Jaya 1. All of the activities that have been carried out by SMP Taruna Jaya 1 residents in general aim to realize the vision of the school namely to become a school that is clean, beautiful, welcoming and friendly. A place for students to mingle and synergize with their environment, so they can become innovative and competent students.
