Abstract

His study aims to analyze the implementation of character education among students at MTsS Al-Parakkasi Polewali Mandar. Character education has become one of the essential strategies for developing students who possess noble character, discipline, responsibility, and a high level of social awareness. This descriptive qualitative study involved the principal, teachers, counseling teachers, homeroom teachers, and students as informants. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the implementation of character education is carried out through integrated planning, implementation, and supervision processes. At the planning stage, the madrasah integrates character values into its vision and mission, curriculum, teaching modules, and extracurricular activities. The implementation of character education is realized through classroom learning, religious habituation, teacher role modeling, social activities, and student discipline development. Supervision is conducted through behavioral monitoring, violation records, guidance and counseling services, and periodic evaluations involving homeroom teachers and the principal. The challenges encountered include differences in students’ characteristics, the influence of the social environment, consistency in habituation practices, and parental involvement. These challenges are addressed through collaboration among all members of the madrasah community and continuous guidance approaches. The implementation of character education has proven effective in fostering students’ discipline, responsibility, cooperation, social awareness, and religious behavior. This study contributes to strengthening a madrasah culture-based character education model that can be sustainably implemented to develop generations with noble character and exemplary personalities.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the strategic planning implemented by the head of the madrasah, analyze the implementation of these strategies, and examine their effectiveness in shaping students' akhlakul karimah (noble character) at MTs Darul Istiqamah Timbuseng, Gowa Regency. This research employed a qualitative approach and was conducted at MTs Darul Istiqamah Timbuseng. The data sources consisted of the head of the madrasah, teachers, and students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research instruments included observation and interview guidelines. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Data validity was ensured through data triangulation. The results of the study indicate that the strategic planning carried out by the head of the madrasah in fostering students' noble character was very good. The planning process was conducted through meetings and involved all teachers in designing character-building programs. However, the implementation of strategies related to honesty, discipline, and responsibility had not been fully optimal, as several programs were not implemented in accordance with the initial plans. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the strategies can be categorized as fairly good, as continuous evaluations were conducted by the head of the madrasah and teachers to assess the extent to which akhlakul karimah values were implemented by students both inside and outside the classroom.
