The Relationship Between Preoccupation, Guidance, Conviction, and Emotional Involvement in High School and MA Students Using the Dimensional ff Religiosity Scale Method

Abstract

This study examines how Islamic and public schools influence students' religiosity, focusing on self-control in thinking, acting, and behaving. Recognizing that schools play a vital role in shaping religious attitudes, the research employs a quantitative approach with descriptive comparative and correlational designs. It involves students from Islamic schools (Salatiga State Islamic High School and Muhammadiyah Plus Private High School) and public schools (Salatiga State High School 3 and Tunas Harapan Private Telecommunication Vocational School). Data collection methods include observations, questionnaires, and interviews. The findings reveal that Islamic schools outperform public schools in fostering religiosity, attributed to factors like religious education, school environment, life experiences, and the role of religion in decision-making. These results highlight the importance of integrating religious values within the educational framework to support holistic student development. The study suggests that future research should investigate the long-term effects of religious education on student behavior and outcomes, providing insights into improving religiosity in diverse school settings.
