Strategi Komunikasi Interpersonal Pengasuh Pondok Pesantren dalam Menanamkan Sikap Kritis Santri terhadap Isu Radikalisme di Media Sosial

Abstract

This research was conducted at Al-Khoirot Islamic Boarding School Malang. The purpose of this research is to find out the interpersonal communication strategies of Al-Khoirot Islamic Boarding School caretakers in instilling a critical attitude of students towards the issue of radicalism on social media. The research method used is qualitative research using a narrative approach. The subjects in this study were caregivers and students at the Al-Khoirot Islamic Boarding School. The results of this study indicate that there are six strategies applied by caregivers in an effort to instill a critical attitude of students towards the issue of radicalism on social media. The six strategies are divided into three perspectives of interpersonal communication, namely situational perspective, developmental perspective, and interactional perspective. 1) A situational perspective by repeating material in each study and opening a question and answer session, this is applied in an effort to provide understanding to students. 2) developmental perspective by publishing books and student bulletins, these two strategies are applied in an effort to build close relationships with students, so that students really understand what is conveyed by caregivers. 3) an interactional perspective by forming alumni organizations and knowing the essence of social media, these two strategies are implemented in an effort to provide positive caregivers regarding issues of radicalism that exist in everyday life and on social media. This strategy can be applied in various fields of science, for example forming children's character, providing material presentations, and so on. The critical attitude applied by Al-Khoirot students is based on indicators of critical attitude, including: thinking in terms of content, having intellectual attitudes, universal intellectual standards, distinguishing between information, advertising and knowledge, and thinking critically based on one's own abilities. Based on these indicators it can be concluded that the critical attitude shown by the students is not as deep as the critical attitude explained by Richard Paul.
