<![CDATA[Structured extracurricular activities can support character development when values are embedded in repeated practice, adult modelling, and peer interaction. This qualitative case study examined Islamic value internalization through Persaudaraan Setia Hati Terate (PSHT) pencak silat at Salafiyah Syafi’iyah Islamic Boarding School, Singkut 1, Sarolangun, Indonesia. Nine purposively selected informants comprised the main trainer, an assistant trainer, the vice principal for student affairs, an Islamic Education teacher, and five student members. Data from participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification, with triangulation and member checking supporting credibility. Six values were identified: religiosity, discipline, responsibility, Islamic brotherhood, respect, and self-control. Internalization occurred through habituation, trainer role modelling, moral-religious advice, and spiritual routines integrated into training. Participants associated these practices with stronger worship awareness, disciplined conduct, responsibility, emotional control, respectful interaction, and social concern. The findings suggest that pesantren-based martial arts can function as a structured student-development environment when physical training is integrated with moral reflection, spiritual practice, and prosocial norms; the qualitative design supports perceived and observed change rather than causal effects.]]>
