Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the role of Kuttab in shaping children's character through Qur'an and moral education, with a case study in Kuttab Karanganyar. The background of this research is based on the urgent need for a character education system rooted in Islamic values, as a response to the moral and ethical crisis that has hit the younger generation. Kuttab, as a traditional Islamic educational institution, offers a holistic approach to early childhood education, especially through strengthening Islamic values from an early age. Theoretical framework: This study refers to the theory of character formation according to Thomas Lickona, which emphasizes the aspects of moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action, as well as Islamic education theory, which emphasizes the integration between faith, knowledge, and charity. Literature review: shows that Qur'anic education and morals are important foundations in shaping children's personalities with noble character. Methods: The research used was a descriptive qualitative approach with case studies. Data was collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation of educators, parents, and students in Kuttab Karanganyar. Data analysis was carried out thematically. Results: research shows that Kuttab Karanganyar has succeeded in shaping children's character through habituation of memorizing the Qur'an, learning meaning and manners, and example from the ustadz. Character building is carried out systematically and continuously, with the support of a conducive environment and the active involvement of parents. Implications: This study shows that the Kuttab education model can be used as an alternative in the development of Islamic-based character education. Kuttab's advantage lies in the integration between the spiritual and moral curriculum with methods that touch the child's heart. Novelty: from this study is the disclosure of the mechanism of character formation in Kuttab systematically and contextually in the modern era, which has not been widely discussed in academic studies.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to identify the causes of the failure to internalize Islamic values in mosque youth that cause a gap between ritual and social piety. The focus is on community factors that influence the social behavior of the young generation in the context of achieving the SDGs. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework refers to the concepts of internalization of religious values, Islamic social piety, and experiential learning from the perspective of continuing education. This approach emphasizes the integration of spiritual and social dimensions in behavior formation. Literature review: Previous studies have shown the role of religious institutions in moral formation, but there is still a gap between religious practice and social behavior. The perspective of adolescents as the main subject of value internalization is still rarely studied. Methods: The research used a phenomenological qualitative approach with the location of the Al-Muzakkirin Mosque in Padang. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and FGDs, and then analyzed thematically by triangulation. Results: Five factors were found to cause failure, namely material dichotomy, ineffective lecture methods, exemplary inconsistencies, peer group pressure, and lack of social action. Adolescents experience a mismatch between religious knowledge and social practices. Implications: The findings encourage the development of contextual, participatory, and social experience-based mosque youth coaching. This model supports the implementation of continuing education and strengthening community partnerships. Novelty: Novelty lies in the exploration of adolescent perspectives that were often overlooked in previous studies. The research also produced an "Experience-Based Social Piety" da'wah model based on experience and social action.
