<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the actualization of self-love and love for others in Akidah Akhlak learning on the topic of Commendable Attitudes at MA NU Salafiyah Kenduren as a case study of the implementation of the Love-Based Curriculum. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews with the Akidah Akhlak teacher, the head of the madrasah, the vice principal for curriculum affairs, and students, as well as documentation of teaching modules, learning materials, teaching journals, and attitude assessment instruments. The data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings show that self-love was actualized through hard work, optimism, responsibility, self-confidence, creativity, and the willingness to improve oneself. Meanwhile, love for others was reflected in cooperation, mutual respect, helping peers, maintaining communication, and social care. The actualization of these values was strengthened through KBC-based teaching modules, problem-based learning, presentations, reflection, and peer assessment. The main challenges were limited instructional time, value indicators that still need to be clarified, and attitude assessment documentation that needs to be strengthened. Thus, Akidah Akhlak learning based on the Love-Based Curriculum has the potential to shape students’ character in a more contextual, measurable, and grounded manner.]]>
