Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the mindfulness method in bulding emotional awareness among fifth-grade students at MI NW Penyenggir. A qualitative case study approach was used, with data collected through participant abservation, in-depth interviews with students, the classroom teacher, and the madrasah principal, and documentation during four weeks of the mindfulness program. The findings show that the program was planned systematically by identifying studen’s emotional problems, formulating objectives, selecting age-appropriate techniques, and scheduling activities. Implementation proceeded in three phases: resistance in the first week, adaptation in the second and third weeks, and active calmness in the fourth week. Mindfulness proved effective in building emotional awareness, indicated by improved abilities to recognize basic emotions, differentiate more complex emotional, express feelings constructively, and recognize physical sensation through body scan exercises. Emotional awareness was classified as high 43% of students, moderate in 36% and low in 21 % while expressive drawings shifted 64 negative expressions in the first week to 71% positive expressions in the fourth week. Teacher-principal collaboration, consistent implementation, and positive student responses supported the program, whereas noise, limited time, and inadequate facilities hindered it. The study is distinctive in integrating Islamic values into every session.
