INTRODUCTION
Ethics of communication is a thing that regulates the
various good and bad of a person when speaking in a certain scope so that it
can be accepted in the social life of a particular environment. Not
infrequently, a person's social life is seen from his speaking ethics.
Communication ethics is a politeness that can strengthen intimacy relationships
and as a tool used to reduce divisions in social interactions.
Communication
ethics is the process of sharing information, ideas or feelings that are not
only done orally and in writing but through body language, or personal style or
appearance, or other things around them that clarify meaning (Florensia, Ririhena,
Junaidi, & Hatuwe, 2024). Communication
is a human social activity, it is human nature to always try to relate to
others in an effort to eliminate their alienation to know what is happening
outside of him (communication is human) (Islahudin, 2021). Ethics is a
very general thing, meaning that ethics is what every human being should know.
In social life, this is because communication is a social phenomenon that can
be interpreted variously (multi-meaning) (Djollong & Dewi, 2023).
Communication
ethics education is very important to be applied in schools, because ethics is
one of the goals of Education. According to Law No. 20 of 2003 on the national
education system Article 1 explained:
Education is a conscious and planned effort in realizing the
learning atmosphere and learning process so that students actively develop
their potential to have religious spiritual strength, self-control,
personality, intelligence, noble character and skills necessary for themselves,
society, nation and state
Based
on Law No. 20 of 2003 on the education system, it is clear that education is
very important, because education can give a person the skills and things
needed to succeed in life. This is why education plays a big role not only for
students but also adults. In a broad sense, education is what gives people
access to learn and when someone learns something, they have the opportunity to
acquire knowledge that can be processed, reflected and remembered in various
circumstances, as well as improve interpersonal relationships both personally
and professionally.
All
changes occur including ethics in everyday life both at home, school and the
surrounding environment that increasingly follows foreign cultures. Arus
globalisasi yang masuk ke Indonesia berdampak pada pola pikir dan gaya hidup
remaja, yang mengakibatkan perubahan pada remaja saat ini (Sutika, 2019).
These demoralizing acts are likely to stem from the low moral and behavioral
qualities of individuals or groups of people. They are broken because the
person concerned is not or poorly educated in fundamental humanist religious
values (Febriyanti, Handriadi, Udin, Suhendri, & Awaru,
2023).
Ethics is needed because nowadays there are many cases where students have been
disrespectful to their own parents, to school teachers, to older people, even
to fellow friends. In the school environment, there are many students who have
problems with unethical communication with others, especially with teachers (Nasution, Lidiana, Sari, Nurul, & Nasution, 2021).
Similarly, in the current school environment, students have
lost a lot of ethics in communicating, especially students of Madrasah
Tsanawiyah as an lslam-based school. Researchers found that communication
learners who have not put forward ethics correctly, they easily foul language
in communicating with fellow friends. Without feeling burdened that the
communication that learners say is communication that is prohibited in lslam.
Their communication uses a lot of inappropriate language spoken by madrasah students
and the reality in the field is
not a few disputes, squabbles, hostility, and quarrels arise because of
uncontrolled speech.
This is as
researchers found in the field, namely in MTsN 3, MTs PGII, MTs Fathurrahman
and MTs Cipantaran Banjar, the lack of good communication ethics, in fact their
communication ethics both on social media and in real life has come out of the
morals exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad. Students in madrasah their way of
speaking is not polite, speaking with foul language, it is commonplace and
without shame they say both inside the madrasah and outside the madrasah.
They casually talk
dirty, both in class and outside the classroom, even researchers found when
they were in the learning process they were accustomed to communicating with
foul language both male and female students, even students who dared to speak
dirty to their teachers. From here, researchers observe that with foul language
learners are easily ignited emotions, easily angry, impatient, and finally with
foul language that they fight even to the brawl. Foul language discovered by
learners can be through their learning environment, family environment?
Environment they play? Even from a poor family upbringing.
From the above
exposure it is clear that the cultivation of ethical values of communication in
madrasah can make a major contribution in improving the morals of students,
especially madrasah students who should be an example for students who are not
in madrasah in order to improve the quality of madrasah Education as a whole.
Based on the above background, researchers are interested in researching the
cultivation of ethical values of communication in madrasah.
Relevant previous
research on this topic has not been widely found. A few existing studies have
focused on the importance of communication ethics education in schools,
particularly in the madrasah environment. These studies have shown that the
lack of understanding of communication ethics among students can lead to
problems such as the use of vulgar language, fights, and conflicts. However,
previous studies have not specifically analyzed the efforts made by madrasahs
in instilling the values of communication ethics.
This research has
novelty in its focus, which is to deeply analyze the practice of instilling the
values of communication ethics carried out in madrasahs. This study seeks to
reveal the various efforts made by the madrasah, both through formal learning
and habituation, to foster awareness and good communication ethics practices
among students. The findings of this research are expected to enrich the
literature on communication ethics education, particularly in the madrasah
environment.
The purpose of this
study is to explore and analyze the efforts made by madrasas (Islamic schools)
in cultivating the values of communication ethics among their students. This
research aims to provide a deeper understanding of the specific strategies and
practices employed by madrasas to promote ethical communication skills and
behavior among the student population.
The findings of this
study are expected to offer valuable insights that can benefit various
stakeholders. For educators, the research can inform the development of more
comprehensive communication ethics curricula and pedagogical approaches within
Islamic educational institutions. For policymakers, the study's implications
can contribute to the formulation of policies and guidelines that support the
integration of communication ethics education in the broader educational
system. Additionally, the research may inspire further scholarly investigations
in this area, ultimately enhancing the understanding and implementation of
communication ethics in diverse educational contexts.
Overall, this study
holds significant implications for improving the moral and ethical conduct of
students, particularly in the madrasah setting, where the cultivation of
communication ethics is crucial for fostering positive interpersonal
relationships, conflict resolution, and the development of well-rounded
individuals.
RESEARCH METHODS

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Ethics Of Communication
1. Ethics
Ethics
is the science that explains and judges whether the behavior done is good or
bad, wrong or right. Ethics is a reflection of a person's self-control, this is
because everything is done from and for the benefit of certain people or
professions (Rizqi, 2021).
The notion of ethics implies a broader and deeper explanation than a
definition. The term� ethics �is etymologically derived from the Greek,�
ethos�, which means� custom �or habits related to human actions or behavior,
can also mean the� character " of Man (the whole outburst of human
behavior in his actions). Ethos memiliki makna �anaction that is one�s own�,
atau suatu tindakan yang dilakukan seseorang dan menjadi miliknya. This kind of
meaning of �ethos� is also shared by the Latin word �mores�, from which the
word �morals� is derived. "Ethical" and� moral " are synonymous.
Etika adalah filsafat moral (Sari, 2020).
Based
on the foregoing, Ethics is defined as the science that seeks orientation or
the science that gives direction and foothold in human actions. Ethics helps
humans in determining what is good and what is bad, and how humans should act
in certain situations.
2. Communication
Communication is the process of sharing information,
ideas or feelings that are not only done orally and in writing but through body
language, or personal style or appearance, or other things around them that
clarify meaning (Florensia et al., 2024). Communication means the process of delivering a
statement by one person to another. the understanding is clear that
communication involves a number of people .where a person States something to
others (Islahudin, 2021).
Teacher performance will improve along with healthy
relationships and communication between school components due to smooth
communication relationship patterns and good encouragement to do a good job (Ahmadi & Romadlon, 2020). Communication that is established is still limited
to forms of communication that have not led to ethics in communication, even
though communication ethics are very important in the communication process (Arahman & Aminullah, 2022).
Teacher
communication is also characterized by cultivating religious practices in
students without ulterior motives, as done with sincere intentions, seeking
Allah(Solong, Mokodenseho, & Rohmah, 2024).
Ethics education is to pay special attention to how to convey information to
others with good language, smooth language, and not hurt someone's feelings in
communicating (Rizqi, 2021).
This conception can be instilled in the community through education by paying
attention to learning objectives, learning methods, and learning evaluation.

This Madrasah emphasizes the cultivation of ethical values of

people in the community and are considered as a guide to the daily social life
of the community. Manners as the behaviour of a person who upholds the values
of respect, honour, and Noble akhlak. Ordinary
manners are considered an unwritten norm that regulates how a person behaves
and behaves. Manners as an important element in social life. Because by showing

In social life

and memorize Surah Al-Kahf, surah Yasin,
and short verses. The purpose of doing this is to train and familiarize
students before learning with the recitation of the verses of the Qur'an
Based
on this, through ethical education, it is expected that the younger generation

intelligence, caring, responsibility, truth, beauty, goodness, and faith. Even
in the world of Education known 18 character values that are expected to be

work, Creative, Independent, Democratic, curiosity, the spirit of nationality,
love of Homeland, appreciate achievements, friendly/communicative, love peace,
love to read, care about the environment, social care and responsibility.
Discussion
Madrasah as a place
of learning plays a major role in the development of student character. In
madrasas, children and adolescents are accompanied to complete their learning
tasks until they enter adulthood well. In this school, children's brains,
hearts, bodies, and characters are developed to be more intelligent, sensitive,
healthy, and have good character (Yusuf, 2022).
Religious character values are seen in prayer activities, the recommendation
for Dhuha prayers, and reading juz amma as a form of memorizing letters before
starting learning. While the electronic teaching materials that have been
designed (Aini, 2022).
In the dissemination
of socio-cultural values, the head of the madrasah is fully responsible for
controlling the development of the madrasah to be in accordance with the
vision, mission, goals, objectives, and future-oriented (Rohman, Sutisna, & Sahroni, 2022).
Ethics of communication is a norm, value, or measure of behavior in
interaction, regulates human beings to respect each other, manners, manners,
interact with other beings. Thus, an understanding of good communication ethics
is needed to aim to maintain the interests of a person with his interlocutor in
order to feel happy, peaceful, protected without any party being harmed by his
interests and actions carried out in accordance with applicable Customs and not
contrary to human rights in general (Sari, 2020).
Based on the above,
ethics is a very general thing, which means that ethics is something that every
human being must know. In social life, this is because communication is a
social phenomenon that can be interpreted variously (multi-meaning). Although
the phenomenon of communication remains and does not change, but the
understanding of the phenomenon that can differ from one person to another.
Educators as educators should be an example of ethics in communication. To
achieve learning success, an approach to students is needed.
CONCLUSION
Instilling an
understanding of communication ethics to students is very important so that
they know how good communication ethics when communicating in terms of behaving
and speaking appropriately in receiving messages conveyed by communicators to
communicants. Such as the ethics of student communication with other students
as well as to teachers. By understanding the meaning of verbal and non-verbal
communication of the interlocutor. So that the creation of a harmonious and
warm communication in interacting. Make the message conveyed more easily
accepted by the interlocutor (communicant)and the creation of mutual respect
between communicators and communicants.
Planting the value of communication
ethics in the four MTs of Banjar City has been done through polite, courtesies,
and greetings, both inside and outside the madrasah. So it becomes a daily
habit with the aim to improve the morale, and mental learners but not yet
maximized.
