Abstract

The implementation of character education in the digital era presents challenges for schools seeking to integrate academic learning with moral, social, and religious values. This community-service program aimed to strengthen teachers' pedagogical, personal, social, and professional competencies in implementing religious-value-based character education in South Cianjur Regency, Indonesia. The program adopted a participatory-transformative approach through interactive training, mentoring, and implementation-oriented workshops. Its principal framework was the 4K Model, comprising exemplary conduct, consistency, collaboration, and contextualization, integrated with a Deep Learning approach emphasizing mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning. The activities focused on developing teachers' capacity to integrate religious values into instructional materials, establish structured school habituation practices, and contextualize character education through Sundanese-Islamic local wisdom and pesantren traditions. Reported program outputs included the development of contextual teaching modules, the standardization of school habituation activities, and the strengthening of collaboration among teachers and relevant stakeholders. The program report also describes positive changes in teachers' understanding of their roles in character education. Future implementation should incorporate systematic competency assessments and follow-up monitoring to examine the sustainability of teacher practices and changes in school culture.
