Abstract

Character education in Junior High Schools (SMP) is an essential element in shaping students' strong personalities and noble character. However, in its implementation, there are various challenges faced by teachers, particularly related to understanding, skills, and support for the program. This study aims to analyze how SMP teachers perceive the implementation of character education in their schools and the challenges that arise in its development. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with 30 SMP teachers as the subjects of the study. Data collection techniques included questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed descriptively and presented in the form of tables and frequency distributions. The results of the study show that the majority of teachers, 93.31%, have a positive perspective on the implementation of character education in SMP. However, although the implementation is already good, there is still room for improvement in achieving more optimal outcomes. Therefore, it can be concluded that character education has been well implemented, but further socialization and training for teachers regarding mastery of technology and information are necessary to optimally support the character education program.

Abstract

The Katoba tradition is an Islamic initiation rite that functions as a medium for value education within the Muna community. This study aims to analyze the ritual structure, symbolic meanings, and Islamic educational values transmitted through the Katoba tradition, while also examining challenges to its sustainability amid social change. The research employs a qualitative ethnographic approach, with data collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and ritual documentation. Data analysis follows Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, supported by Van Gennep’s rites of passage theory, Turner’s concept of liminality, and Geertz’s symbolic anthropology. The findings show that Katoba conveys core Islamic values, including tawhid, the shahada, honesty, responsibility, birrul walidain, and moral discipline, which are instilled through symbolic practices and community-based learning. This tradition plays an important role in shaping children’s religious identity and strengthening social cohesion. However, modernization and the influence of digital media pose challenges to the continuity of Katoba, highlighting the need for adaptive efforts to preserve its fundamental values
