Abstract

Although character values are embedded in the Islamic education curriculum in Indonesia, a gap persists between policy and classroom implementation. The main objective of this study is to reorient Islamic curriculum and pedagogy in alignment with Indonesia’s national character education policy. This study explores how character education is applied in Islamic education through curriculum, teaching, and assessment. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining a survey of 22 teachers and analysis of curriculum documents. The findings revealed that while values such as honesty, responsibility, and respect were included in lesson plans and textbooks, they were rarely implemented through interactive teaching methods or assessed using formal tools. Most teachers used lectures and moral preaching, with limited application of reflective or student-centered strategies. The study concludes that character education remains superficial without integrated pedagogy and assessment. The proposed reoriented model suggests a threefold transformation. First, policy-aligned value mapping should explicitly link Islamic moral concepts with the six dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile. Second, reflective pedagogies must replace or complement the current didactic model. Third, assessment reform is essential. These findings offer insights for policymakers and educators seeking to enhance the effectiveness of character education in schools.

Abstract

Purpose - This study investigates the implementation of character education in Arabic language instruction at Al-Muqoddas Modern Pesantren in Cirebon through the use of the al-Qirā’ah ar-Rashīdah textbook. Rooted in the growing discourse on the integration of moral values within language learning, this research aims to analyze how Arabic learning can serve as an effective medium for character building in Islamic boarding school contexts. Methods -Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using triangulation to ensure data validity and credibility. Findings –The findings reveal that the character values embedded in the al-Qirā’ah ar-Rashīdah textbook authored by Abdul Fatah Shabri and Ali Umar and published by Dār al-Ma'ārif, Egypt not only align with but also exceed the character education standards established by Indonesia’s Ministry of National Education. The implementation of character education in Al-Muqoddas is integrated across various learning strategies, including expository, inquiry-based, contextual, and problem-based approaches. Furthermore, character internalization is reinforced through practical strategies such as modeling, habituation, experiential learning, direct advice, and disciplinary measures. Research implications suggest that Arabic language instruction, when enriched with cultural and moral content, offers a robust framework for instilling Islamic character values. However, this study is limited to one pesantren context and may not represent all Islamic educational settings. Originality/value of this research lies in its contextual exploration of how classical Arabic learning materials can effectively serve dual functions—linguistic proficiency and character development within a pesantren framework, reinforcing the inseparability of language and moral education in Islamic pedagogy.
