How Islamic Education Impacts Personal Life of Student of Senior High School?

Senior high school students have diverse backgrounds; some of them have a strong base in the religious field; some do not. Besides, the learning of Islamic Education (IE) in SMAN uses the 2013 curriculum in contrast to IE learning in Islamic boarding schools. This study aims to explore the meaning of life from IE learning for senior high school students broadly. This study uses a qualitative approach with deep interview as a method of collecting data. The subjects of the study were students of class XII of SMAN IV, Magelang city. The results indicate that IE in SMAN IV of students' life comes from an understanding of affective religious material, not merely cognitive. Parental education and teacher modelling are the most influential factors in giving meaning to life in a student.
