Abstract

This study aims to analyze the integration of Islamic character values into the primary school curriculum in Pidie Jaya, Aceh, and to propose a conceptual framework for systematically embedding these values within educational practices. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving in-depth interviews with school principals, teachers, education officers, and students, as well as classroom and school observations, and the analysis of documents such as lesson plans, syllabi, and school programs. The findings show that Islamic values such as honesty, discipline, responsibility, religiosity, cooperation, respect, and cleanliness are integrated across subjects, daily routines, and school culture. Teachers play a pivotal role through contextual teaching, role modeling, and practices like prayers and Qur’anic recitation. Strong school leadership, governance, and collaboration with parents and community institutions further support the development of character. However, challenges persist, including variations in teacher competence, limited resources in rural areas, and inconsistent reinforcement at home. The study recommends strengthening teacher professional development, enhancing parental engagement, and integrating digital moral literacy.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of religious education policies through an empirical analysis of a Qur'anic program (Sekolah Mengaji) in Indonesia. Using a qualitative research design, the study incorporates in-depth interviews with Islamic Religious Education teachers and observations in seven public junior secondary schools in Bandung regency. The findings reveal that religious education policy is enacted through a multi-layered process influenced by teacher agency, school culture, family involvement, and governance, rather than a direct translation of formal regulations. While policy implementation yielded positive outcomes in Qur'anic literacy and religious habituation, deeper character internalization remained inconsistent and context dependent. Key mechanisms such as teacher role modeling, interpersonal relationships, and instructional discretion were identified as central to linking policy intentions with daily practices. This study offers a model for understanding policy implementation variation across schools and contributes to the scholarship by focusing on the practical mechanisms that shape religious education policies.
