Abstract

The purpose of this research is to describe and analyse parenting program management as a medium for practicing living the Qur’an in group counselling services at RA Nurul Dzikri Ngemplak Sleman Yogyakarta. This research is qualitative. Data were collected by interview, observation, and documentation. The data was then analysed using the Miles and Huberman mode data analysis technique which consisted of three stages, namely data reduction, data display, and verification. The results of the study show that the parenting program as a living Qur'an medium in group counselling services is carried out through four management activities, namely planning, organizing, implementing, and assessing. In planning, a parent and teacher agenda book is prepared as a guideline for implementing parenting activities. In organizing, socializing the schedule of parenting activities to parents was carried out and coordination was carried out between school leaders and teachers, and administrators of parent and teacher organizations to prepare various things needed in the implementation of parenting programs. During the implementation, the provision of group counselling services was carried out in an integrated manner in the Qur'an-based parenting program. This makes the material for group counselling services delivered based on the Qur'an and produces a living Qur'an not only in the school environment but also in the family environment. The result is that parents get mental well-being, recover from stress, and have the capital to shape children's character in a family environment based on the Qur'an, the 9 pillars of character, and the concept of character. Then in the parental assessment assess the child's character by using the child's character assessment instrument that has been prepared by the school.
