THE STRENGTH OF PARENTING PATTERNS WITH A BEHAVIORIST APPROACH FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD'S EXEMPLARY BEHAVIOR IN INCREASING THE MEANINGFULNESS OF STUDENT LEARNING
Abstract
Improving the meaningfulness of student learning is determined not only by the quality of the learning process at school, but also by the parenting patterns implemented by parents at home. This study aims to analyze the strength of parenting patterns based on a behaviorist approach from the perspective of the Prophet Muhammad's exemplary behavior and its implications for the meaningfulness of student learning. The behaviorist approach was chosen because it emphasizes behavioral formation through habituation, reinforcement, and structured consequences. Meanwhile, the Prophet Muhammad's exemplary behavior provides a moral and spiritual foundation in the form of principles of compassion, wisdom, consistency, and role-modeling. This study used qualitative methods with a systematic literature review design involving primary and secondary sources, both classical and contemporary. The results show that integrating behaviorist parenting patterns with the Prophet Muhammad's exemplary behavior can strengthen the internalization of values, increase positive discipline, and foster students' intrinsic motivation in learning. This combination of the two creates a parenting environment that balances behavioral reinforcement and moral formation, thus significantly impacting the meaningfulness of the learning process. These findings confirm that a parenting model that combines a scientific approach and prophetic values has the potential to be an effective strategy for improving the quality of character education and student learning outcomes.
