Abstract

This study examines the role of religious moderation in Islamic character education among Madrasah Aliyah students, comparing urban and rural contexts. Religious moderation, which emphasizes balance, tolerance, and inclusivity, plays a crucial role in shaping students' character by preventing extremism and promoting peaceful coexistence. Through a qualitative approach, this research explores how students in urban and rural areas internalize and apply religious moderation values in their daily lives, particularly within the framework of Islamic character education. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis from students, teachers, and headmasters in both urban and rural madrasahs. The findings show significant differences in the understanding and application of religious moderation: students in urban areas, exposed to more diverse social and cultural environments, tend to adopt a more inclusive approach to religious moderation, while students in rural areas, with more traditional environments, exhibit a narrower yet committed understanding. Despite these differences, both groups emphasize the importance of religious moderation in promoting tolerance, empathy, and social responsibility. The study also identifies challenges in implementing religious moderation in both environments, particularly the limited exposure to diverse perspectives in rural areas. These findings contribute to the development of more contextual and equitable Islamic education policies and curricula, tailored to the social and geographical context of students, to ensure that religious moderation can be effectively integrated into character education.

Abstract

This study examines the role of PAI and Character Education teachers in the development of student character in vocational schools, specifically at SMK Negeri 1 Terusan Nunyai Lampung Tengah. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores how the pedagogical role of teachers contributes to the development of students' moral and ethical values. The study highlights the strategies employed by teachers in instilling values such as discipline, responsibility, and social care, as well as the challenges faced in character development in vocational schools. The findings show that character development is more effective when teachers integrate religious and moral values into the curriculum and reinforce behavior through consistent school routines such as religious activities and extracurricular programs. The role of the teacher is not limited to teaching content, but also as a moral guide, role model, and facilitator of a positive school culture. The study identifies key supporting factors such as school support, communication between teachers and students, and the consistency of religious programs, as well as barriers from the influence of social environments and media. This study contributes to the understanding of how vocational schools can effectively integrate character education into academic programs and provides practical recommendations to improve teaching strategies in PAI and Character Education.
