The �Thaharah Bermakna� Training Through The Logo Analysis Model to Build Students� Positive Characters

Abstract

This experimental study aimed to investigate the effect of the �thaharah bermakna� (meaningful purification)� through the logo analysis model to build students� positive characters. The experiment employed the one-group pretest-posttest design involving 22 students of SMP Diponegoro Yogyakarta. The data were collected through a positive character scale (ri = 0.316-0.651, a = 0.929) and a monitoring sheet for the �thaharah bermakna� independent practice. The results of the within subject test showed that the �thaharah bermakna� training and the independent practice for a week were capable of significantly improving students� positive characters with F = 0.578, p = 0.005 (p<0.010). Before the treatment, the subjects� mean score was 186.91 and after the treatment their mean score improved to 193.91. The study concluded that the �thaharah bermakna� training through the logo analysis model and an independent practice for a week significantly improved students� positive characters. In other words, it could be said that the �thaharah bermakna� training was effective to build students� positive characters.
