<![CDATA[This study is motivated by the gap between the educational ideal of shaping morally upright students and the reality that students’ moral behavior and character formation still require reinforcement within the school environment. This research aims to describe and analyze the curriculum development strategy implemented to improve students’ moral character at MI Istiqlal Jakarta Pusat, covering the aspects of planning, organizing, implementation, evaluation, obstacles, and solutions carried out by the institution. This study employed a qualitative approach with data collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The research subjects consisted of the principal, the vice principal of curriculum affairs, and teachers. The study uses G.R. Terry’s POAC management theory as the analytical framework for examining curriculum development strategies. The findings reveal that: (1) Curriculum planning for character development is formulated through alignment of the school’s vision and mission with needs analysis, based on G.R. Terry’s principles of planning; (2) Curriculum organizing is implemented through structured role distribution and coordinated efforts to support moral development; (3) Implementation involves integrating teacher role modeling, religious routines, and moral values into classroom learning; (4) Curriculum evaluation is conducted through behavioral monitoring, supervision, and corrective follow-up; (5) Obstacles encountered relate to student behavioral diversity, environmental influences, and consistency challenges; (6) Solutions adopted include teacher coaching, direct student guidance, and strengthened collaboration with parents. This study concludes that the curriculum development strategy applied at MI Istiqlal Jakarta Pusat aligns with POAC principles and is effective in supporting students’ moral development. These findings may serve as a reference for other madrasahs seeking to integrate moral education into their curriculum.]]>
