Abstract

Moral education in Indonesia today faces serious challenges, particularly as many educators place greater emphasis on conceptual aspects rather than real-life exemplification. In fact, moral education plays a central role in shaping students’ character, as taught in Islam and exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This study aims to emphasize the importance of the teacher's role not only as a transmitter of knowledge but also as uswah hasanah (a good role model) for students. Through a literature review of the thoughts of figures such as Imam Al-Ghazali, Ki Hajar Dewantara, KH. Ahmad Dahlan, and the interpretation of Surah Ali-Imran verse 164, it is found that exemplification holds a strategic position in the process of character education. These figures stress the importance of integrating knowledge, attitudes, and behavior in moral education. The interpretation of the Qur'anic verse also shows that the Prophet's mission included not only conceptual teaching but also practical application through exemplary conduct. Therefore, the success of moral education depends heavily on the teacher’s ability to integrate cognitive, affective, and psychomotor approaches in a balanced manner. Real-life role modeling by teachers serves as an effective means of transmitting moral values to students in a holistic and sustainable way.
