PERANAN GURU PAI DALAM MENGATASI BODY SHAMING DI SMP MUHAMMADIYAH 8 BATU

Body shaming, or behavior that degrades a person's physical appearance, is
a rampant issue in the school environment and has a negative impact on the
psychological and social development of students. This study aims to
analyze the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in
overcoming the phenomenon of body shaming in Muhammadiyah 8 Batu
Junior High School. The focus of the research includes: (1) the perception
and understanding of PAI teachers towards the phenomenon of body
shaming, (2) the strategies used by PAI teachers to overcome and prevent
body shaming, and (3) the role of parents and the community is very
important in supporting the efforts of Islamic Religious Education (PAI)
teachers.
This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data was
collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation.
The results of the study show that PAI teachers have a good understanding
of the negative impact of body shaming and try to overcome it through the
internalization of religious values, personal approaches, and classroom�based programs. Collaboration with parents and the community is also an
important factor in creating an environment that supports respect for others.
In conclusion, PAI teachers play a strategic role in the prevention of body
shaming with a holistic approach involving religious, psychological, and
social aspects. This makes a significant contribution to building the
character of students who respect diversity and foster a culture of mutual
respect.
