Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (IRE) plays a strategic role in fostering students’ religious character from an early age, particularly at the elementary level, which serves as a crucial foundation for children’s moral and spiritual development. Amid the challenges of globalization and the declining influence of religious values within family environments, the effectiveness of IRE implementation in instilling Islamic values has become an essential issue for in-depth investigation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of IRE in shaping the religious character of elementary school students and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing the process. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological strategy, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving IRE teachers, students, school principals, and parents, and then analyzed thematically using triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that the effectiveness of IRE is strongly influenced by teachers’ exemplary behavior, the habituation of religious practices within the school environment, and family involvement, although challenges remain regarding instructional methods and the continuity of religious values outside the school setting. This study contributes to the development of a more integrative and contextual Islamic character education practice and offers direction for strengthening collaboration among schools, families, and communities in nurturing religiously devoted young generations from an early age.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of character education among Generation Z, analyze the challenges of globalization that influence their character development, and formulate strategies for strengthening character education in the digital era. As digital natives, Generation Z faces both opportunities and risks from the flow of technology, information, and global culture, which may weaken identity and local values if not balanced by strong character education. This research employed a qualitative descriptive case study approach. Primary data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, while secondary data were obtained from curriculum documents and related literature. Data were analyzed with triangulation of sources and techniques to ensure validity. The findings reveal four main points: schools have integrated character education into their curricula and activities, globalization and digital culture pose significant challenges, a gap exists between moral knowledge and students’ actions, and strategies remain focused on religious and academic aspects with limited emphasis on local cultural values. The study concludes that character education for Generation Z requires innovative, contextual, and collaborative strategies that integrate technology, local values, and religious principles.
