Introduction
In modern times, many advances have been achieved by humans, various
developments taking place here and there which indicate the flow of globalization as if it
promises a direction of change and progress. This globalization that is being stifled by the
west is tearing apart the wise order that guides the life of the eastern nation. Therefore all
layers of a man who are indiscriminately affected by this unavoidable phenomenon,
whether they are old, young, and even children also feel what has happened in the age in
which he has lived.
It is sad to see what is happening as a result of this imperialism, especially since
the ones who are most easily swept away are young people who should be the next
generation of stories and historical continents, fighting for human rights, upholding
justice, and conveying the truth. But many of them are complacent about the worldly
things offered by others which contradict the values contained in Islamic law.

This is what Muslims need to realize, that now many among Muslims, especially
the younger generation, students are negligent in their duties as servants, a servant who
should at all times serve himself in the presence of the Creator of the entire universe.
Carrying out duties and obligations is the law for a believer that it cannot be
negotiated,let alone just leave it.
Therefore, cult activities should be a priority to look ahead, namely learning to
anticipate reality. This is increasingly becoming important for students who live in an era
of globalization that demands openness and flexibility in thinking and the ability of
students who experience turmoil to help change attitude and behavior. Therefore, they
need guidance and enlightenment so that they realize the importance of hearing cult, by
themselves they will better understand the obligations of a Muslim and can apply it in
their daily life.
The era that is all sophisticated gradually overcomes everything that already exists,
bringing a very significant influence for change. This school is a place for students to
gain knowledge, there they will be taught various branches of knowledge to prepare them
to become insightful people, one of which is cultural activities. Culture is a science that is
very important to learn because by following the cult students can be motivated.
Kultum activities at MTs N 2 Cirebon City are carried out by all students. Because
this cult activity is compulsory for all students. Even though this activity is a co-curricular
program, students are still motivated and routinely in implementing Kultum. With this
activity, it is necessary to review in-depth the habituation activity. Whether this routine is
effective has a positive influence on students, especially in learning motivation or not. If
there is, then this activity would be even better as a school program to form motivated
students in this learning through cultural habituation. Kultum is a seven-minute lecture
which is art, which is conveying something to the crowd with not much time, which is
only seven minutes with the name kultum, kultum can also be equated with a short lecture
and only discusses a little of religious issues or just a reminder so that people not
negligent in matters of religion or matters of good nature. (Mustafa, 2012)
According to KBBI, the lecture has a meaning in the class of nouns or nouns so
that the lecture can state the name of a person, place, or all objects and all objects. The
lecture is a homonym because the meanings have the same spelling and pronunciation but
different meanings. The lecture has meaning in class adjectives or adjectives so that
lectures can change nouns or pronouns, usually by explaining them or making them more
specific. Therefore students must know how important it is to participate in cult activities.
For this reason, it would be better if children are sent to schools based on religion MTs N
2 Cirebon City is a madrasa in which there are cultural activities.
Understanding the importance of students following cult activities so that they
realize that participating in cult activities can increase their insight into religion. This is
where a teacher, especially student teachers, is needed, teaching them the importance of
it. The teacher has a very important role in achieving the desired goals. To achieve the
desired goals, students must always be guided and directed in learning. According to
Bower (Cannon-Bowers, Salas, Tannenbaum, & Mathieu, 1995) that by learning we can
show a relative change in behavior that occurs due to several experiences that have been
experienced and also exercise that has been carried out in previous times. Bower also
explained that "learning cognitive process" which means learning is real it's a cognitive
process. Here, Bower explains the process is more important than the outcome of learning
itself.
Targeted and purposeful learning, teachers must teach that life is only to serve or
worship Allah SWT. So that students are aware of the importance of listening to religion,
a seven-minute kuliah or what is called (kultum) is carried out. A seven-minute lecture or

cult is an art, which is the art of conveying something to many people with not much time
duration, which is only seven minutes according to its name; cultum. The cult is then
called by people as a short lecture which only discusses a few things from religious
problems or just a reminder so that people do not neglect religious matters or issues of
good nature.
Motivation is an impulse that causes a person to do an action to achieve certain
goals. Motivation is a stimulus, impetus, or power generator that is owned by a person or
group of people who want to make and cooperate optimally in carrying out something
that has been planned to achieve predetermined goals.
According to Mc Donald, (McDonald & Hirt, 1997) motivation is a change in
energy in a person which is marked by the emergence of feelings and is preceded by a
response to a goal.
This seven-minute lecture is a religious activity containing lectures, recitation of
the holy Al-Quran, recitation of as-Maulhusna, and recitation of prayers. This activity
was delivered by students to increase students' faith, every Friday morning before the
teaching and learning process, all students gathered to take part in a seven-minute lecture
(kultum).
This activity is a routine activity carried out at MTs N 2 Cirebon City. In this cult
activity, each class will have a turn to convey the cult. This activity is guided directly by
the cultic advisor who has been assigned by the principal to provide coaching for each
class that gets an assignment. Principal H. Ja'far Musaddad, M.Pd.I said that the cult
activities carried out at MTs N 2 Cirebon City had a goal that was considered good
enough to educate students to be better. The students will feel responsible and brave,
every culture that is conveyed will foster good morals for all students of MTs N 2
Cirebon City.
In essence, this cult activity indirectly teaches students to dare to appear in public,
so that when in the community they are accustomed to speaking in front of the public
with their lectures.
For teenagers or those who are still not burdened by religious taklifs, they still have
to be given directions to always listen to religion like short lectures so that they don't fall
into this era of globalization. Later when he grows up, he will be able to deliver the
lecture well. So that they are motivated from an early age by the existence of cult
activities. Departing from the background discussion above, the writer wants to do
research.

Results and Discussion
A. Research Results
Based on the data obtained from the results of research at MTs N 2 Cirebon City,
here will be explained the results of data that have been processed using SPSS from the
two research variables, namely the implementation of cultural habits and student learning
motivation. The title taken uses five tests, namely, validity test, reliability test, normality
test, linear test, and finally the test of variables X and Y.
1. Implementation of Kultum Habitat at MTs Negeri 2 Cirebon City
The implementation of cultic habituation at MTs Negeri 2 Cirebon City is an
activity that has been carried out every Friday. The culture that is conveyed cannot be
separated from teaching-learning activities that are better for simple regression or
hypotheses which will later find out whether there is an influence between the students.
Therefore it is interesting to be followed up as research.
The results of this research regarding the implementation of cultic habituation in
class VIII A MTs Negeri 2 Cirebon City, totaling 32 students, can be found out through
interviews with student teachers and interviews with students, but in the presence of this
pandemic, researchers cannot interview students at school. Therefore, the researcher
interviewed 5 students of class VIII A, namely Rahma Oktaviani, Madhuri, Khusnul
Huluq, Siti Amaliah, Rosmawati. The researcher gathered the students who would be
interviewed to come to the house of one of these students.
Based on interviews by researchers that the implementation of a cult at MTs N 2
Cirebon City began in 1981 since the establishment of MTs N 2 Cirebon City until now
the program is still running, therefore this activity is mandatory because it is very
beneficial for students. Also, this cult activity is very popular with students even though
this activity is stressful for students who get cult assignments but it does not make them
feel afraid but students feel challenged.
From the results of interviews that have been conducted with student students, it is
stated that the implementation of this cult is a co-curricular activity. This activity is very
useful for students. Because cultural activities are not filled or carried out by the teacher
but are carried out by students. From this activity, students learn to convey their
aspirations in front of many people so that one day these students get used to speaking
and convey their aspirations in public. Therefore, this cult activity must be carried out
every Friday morning before the teaching and learning activities (KBM) begins. In
punishing students who are deliberately late for school on Friday mornings so as not to
take part in the cult, they are usually given punishment for memorizing hadiths or short

letters.
The results of the interview illustrate that the existence of cult activities every
Friday, will provide benefits in participating in this cult activity, not only listening to
religion but students feeling challenged by the teacher when assigned to fill cult activities,
students feel more courageous when speaking to express opinions and aspirations in
public.

items, the ideal score for the questionnaire is 10 items x 32 respondents x 5 (the highest
score for each item) = 1,600.

regarding the implementation of cultural habituation is 1.043. the percentage of the
questionnaire can be calculated with the following formula:
