Abstract

Character development is one of the pivotal factors in determining a nation's progress, with the quality of its generation playing a crucial role. Thus, cultivating and nurturing strong character from early childhood is essential. Early childhood represents a critical period for shaping foundational thought processes and behaviours, vital components of an individual's personality. Hence, education should prioritize character and personality formation and begin with family. This literature review explores the role of families as primary educators in building character foundations in early childhood based on Islamic values. As the smallest social unit and the first educational institution in a child's life, the family plays a central role. To effectively educate and shape a child's character, families must consider the critical factors of mindset and attitude patterns. The mindset is a primary reference in perceiving various matters, while attitude patterns connect physical needs and instincts to these mindsets. In addition, families should address other essential elements such as religious knowledge, psychology, philosophy, social interactions, and moral education to support a child's character development fully. Moreover, Islam provides comprehensive guidance on meeting these needs, positioning the family as the child's primary motivator. While this study offers valuable insights, it acknowledges certain limitations and encourages further research to expand the understanding of character education and its implementation within an Islamic context.

Abstract

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is an increasingly important educational approach to support students' social, emotional, and academic development. This study aims to explore various approaches and strategies for implementing SEL in elementary schools and to identify their impact on students' academic achievement and social-emotional skills development. The method used was a systematic literature review (SLR) based on the PRISMA guidelines. Articles were obtained from leading academic databases such as ScienceDirect, ERIC, and DOAJ, with a publication coverage between January 2021 and March 2025. Of the 250 articles identified, 13 met the selection criteria and were further analyzed. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of SEL, both through classroom-based approaches and whole-school approaches, has a significant positive impact on improving academic achievement and the development of students' social-emotional skills, such as self-awareness, emotional management, and social interaction skills. The program's success is greatly influenced by supportive school leadership, active teacher involvement, and the use of learning media sensitive to cultural contexts. The practical implications of these findings suggest the importance of integrating SEL into the elementary school curriculum and the need for ongoing training for teachers and policy support from education stakeholders to create holistic and inclusive learning environments.
