<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Changes in students’ social interactions and the intensity of their engagement with the digital environment present challenges to character development, particularly when learned values do not consistently become habits in everyday life. This condition calls for an examination of how Islamic values are translated into educational practices that are consistently cultivated at school and in the boarding environment. This study aims to analyze the implementation of character education values in Kitab Alala at SMP Al Hikmah Cepu Full Day and Boarding School, describe the teaching methods used for Kitab Alala, and examine the relevance of its implementation to building civilization. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach by combining field research and library research. Data were obtained through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and an examination of Kitab Alala as the primary source alongside supporting literature. Field data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while library data were analyzed using content analysis. The findings identified 19 character education values related to learning attitudes, social relationships, religiosity, discipline, and respect for teachers. Kitab Alala was taught through bandongan, lectures, question-and-answer sessions, discussions, and memorization, and was reinforced through learning activities, role modeling, co-curricular activities, habituation, and mentoring in the boarding environment. These practices demonstrate that the values of the text can be integrated into students’ daily lives and contribute to character development as part of broader civilization building. ABSTRAK Perubahan pola pergaulan dan intensitas interaksi peserta didik dengan lingkungan digital menghadirkan tantangan bagi pembentukan akhlak, terutama ketika nilai yang dipelajari belum selalu menjadi kebiasaan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Kondisi tersebut mendorong perlunya melihat bagaimana sumber nilai keislaman diterjemahkan ke dalam praktik pendidikan yang berlangsung secara konsisten di sekolah dan asrama. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis implementasi nilai-nilai pendidikan karakter dalam Kitab Alala di SMP Al Hikmah Cepu Full Day and Boarding School, mendeskripsikan metode pembelajaran Kitab Alala, serta mengkaji relevansi implementasinya dalam membangun peradaban. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan memadukan field research dan library research. Data diperoleh melalui observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam, studi dokumen, serta telaah Kitab Alala sebagai sumber primer dan literatur pendukung. Analisis data lapangan dilakukan melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan, sedangkan data kepustakaan dianalisis menggunakan analisis isi. Hasil penelitian mengidentifikasi 19 nilai pendidikan karakter yang berkaitan dengan sikap belajar, hubungan sosial, religiusitas, kedisiplinan, dan penghormatan terhadap guru. Pembelajaran Kitab Alala dilakukan melalui bandongan, ceramah, tanya jawab, diskusi, dan hafalan, kemudian diperkuat melalui pembelajaran, keteladanan, kegiatan kokurikuler, pembiasaan, dan pendampingan di asrama. Implementasi tersebut memperlihatkan bahwa nilai kitab dapat terhubung dengan praktik keseharian dan berkontribusi pada pembentukan pribadi berkarakter sebagai bagian dari pembangunan peradaban.]]>
