Interpersonal Communication Skills Training Based on Islamic Values for Senior High School Students
Main Article Content
Abstract
This service activity aims to improve students' interpersonal communication skills through training based on Islamic values at the As-Sholeh Cipedes Islamic Boarding School, Tasikmalaya City. In the context of pesantren, effective communication skills are essential to form harmonious social relationships, strengthen morale, and build spirituality-based leadership. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which actively involves students in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of training programs. The training was held for four weeks with eight meeting sessions that combined modern communication techniques and Islamic principles such as qaulan karima and qaulan layyina. The results of the evaluation showed a significant improvement in the participants' interpersonal communication skills, both in terms of confidence in speaking, active listening, empathy, conflict resolution, and nonverbal communication, with an average increase of 26.4%. Participants' responses showed high enthusiasm, and most were able to internalize Islamic values into their daily communication practices. Follow-up three months after the program also showed a sustained positive impact, including the emergence of students as communication mentors. This program has succeeded in creating a training model that is not only technical and applicative, but also ethically and spiritually transformative, strengthening the character of students as agents of social change based on Islamic values.
