Amidst the rapid globalization and digital technological advancements, character education has become an urgent necessity to shape a generation that excels not only academically but also morally. This study aims to analyze the influence of family environment, peer interactions, and digital technology on students’ character development within the context of modern Islamic education. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted at MTs Negeri 1 Kebumen. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis with data triangulation to ensure validity.
