Abstract

Children's education plays a crucial role in shaping the character and morals of the next generation. A child-friendly environment in Islamic educational units is an urgent need to support the holistic development of children physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Integrating Islamic Religious Education (IRE) in the education system strengthens spiritual, moral, and social values, thus creating individuals who are ethical and responsible. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach at MAN Bontang and MTsN Model Samarinda (both are public Islamic-based schools). Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation with purposive sampling techniques involving the head of the madrasah, IRE teachers, parents of students, and students. Data analysis was done through data reduction, presentation, and inductive conclusion drawing. The study results showed that the child-friendly environment in both madrasahs contributed to strengthening students' character based on sustainability. MAN Bontang emphasized coastal ecosystems and social entrepreneurship, while the MTsN Model Samarinda prioritized environmental education and zero bullying policies. The main supporting factors were madrasah policies that supported character education, community participation, and adequate facilities and infrastructure. This study also concluded that implementing a child-friendly environment in madrasas can create an educational ecosystem oriented towards academics and character formation based on sustainability. Synergy between schools, communities, and governments is needed to strengthen character education implementation sustainably.

Abstract

Background: The development of an Islamic values-based early childhood education (ECE) curriculum is a fundamental necessity for fostering children's religious character during early childhood, a developmental stage commonly referred to as the golden age. Objective: This study aims to describe the development of an Islamic values-based Early Childhood Education (ECE) curriculum in fostering children's religious character. Methods: This study employed a qualitative research design using a library research approach. Data were collected from relevant reference sources, including books and scholarly journal articles. The data were analyzed using content analysis to identify, interpret, and synthesize concepts related to the development of an Islamic values-based ECE curriculum. Results: The findings indicate that the development of an Islamic values-based ECE curriculum should be systematically designed and implemented by establishing the Qur'an and the Sunnah as its primary foundations, which are integrated into the dimensions of faith (iman), worship (ibadah), and moral conduct (akhlaq). The study also reveals that children's religious character can be effectively fostered through teaching strategies and learning methods that are aligned with the developmental stages and potentials of young children, including role modeling, habituation, training, advice, disciplinary measures, discipline enforcement, persuasion, and the consistent application of educational rules. Conclusion: Furthermore, the implementation of an Islamic values-based curriculum has a significant positive impact on nurturing religious attitudes, cultivating habitual worship practices, and developing noble moral behavior from an early age.
