Abstract

Character education in vocational schools faces unique challenges due to the dual demands of academic competence and professional character formation. This study examines the implementation of character education management in fostering students’ moral development at an Islamic vocational school in Medan, Indonesia, focusing on planning, implementation, evaluation, and obstacle mitigation. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven key informants (principal, vice principal, teachers, and students), observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that character education management operates through integrated, systematic, and sustainable processes: planning is needs-based and participatory; implementation occurs through formal learning, school culture, religious habituation, and role modeling; evaluation employs multiple instruments including attitude assessments and parental collaboration. However, significant obstacles include insufficient parental supervision and the negative influence of social media. The school addresses these through reinforcing religious practices, personal development programs, and strengthening school-family partnerships. This study contributes to understanding how vocational schools can systematically manage character education to produce graduates with both professional competence and moral integrity. It recommends enhanced collaboration frameworks and digital literacy programs to address external environmental challenges.

Abstract

Traditional Islamic educational institutions face the challenge of adapting to digital technology without compromising their religious and cultural identity. This study examines how Pondok Pesantren Darul Qur’an in Medan, Indonesia, manages digital integration while preserving Ahlussunnah wal Jama’ah (Aswaja) values. Employing a descriptive qualitative case study approach, data were collected through passive observation, semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders (head of madrasah, teachers, administrative staff), and document analysis. The findings reveal three main strategies: (1) a “Guided Innovation” model integrating technology as an ideological filter, combining strict digital access control with classical Islamic literacy to maintain Aswaja principles; (2) preservation of the ta’dzim (respect) culture through hybrid-traditional learning methods, though students exhibited behavioral shifts when outside the pesantren environment, indicating the need for deeper internalization of digital ethics; and (3) structured administrative policies, including Standard Operating Procedures, digital skills training, and equitable access programs, effectively bridged the digital literacy gap among students from diverse geographical backgrounds. This study contributes to understanding how traditional Islamic institutions can undergo digital transformation while maintaining their spiritual identity through visionary leadership, systematic management, and value-based adaptation. The findings offer practical insights for Islamic educational institutions navigating the tension between modernization and tradition.
