<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the contextual Islamic-based learning method in shaping students’ character and competence toward Indonesia’s golden generation that is morally upright and highly competitive. The background of this research lies in the importance of integrating local Islamic cultural values, particularly Sintuwu Maroso, into the educational process so that students excel not only academically but also spiritually and morally. This research employed a descriptive quantitative method using field research involving 15 teachers and 60 students of MA Al-Ikhlas Poso as respondents. Data were collected through observation and questionnaires, and analyzed using percentage techniques to measure the level of effectiveness. The results revealed that the contextual Islamic-based learning method was highly effective in shaping students’ character and competence, with positive response percentages of 183.33% from teachers and 100% from students. The implementation of Sintuwu Maroso values—such as mutual respect, cooperation, tolerance, and compassion—proved to significantly influence students’ Islamic behavior and learning engagement. Therefore, this method can serve as a strategic approach to developing a golden generation that embodies strong Islamic values, ethical conduct, and competitiveness in facing global challenges.]]>
