Integration of Islamic Values in Character Education: a Case Study at Madrasah Salafiyah

Afiful Ikhwan — 2025-05-10

This study aims to analyse the personality traits of students at Madrasah Salafiyah Ulya Nashrus Sunnah and understand how an educational process that combines the Salafiyah method, memorisation of the Qur'an, and religious understanding can shape students' characters to be disciplined, responsible, and honest. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data is analysed using three stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion description/verification. The results of the study show that 95% of students arrive on time for Halaqoh and morning dzikir, reflecting high discipline. Additionally, 90% of students did not engage in academic misconduct, and 100% of students participated in congregational obligatory prayers. Character development was achieved through habit formation, teacher modelling, and collaboration with parents. These findings indicate that character education in this madrasah successfully cultivates individuals who are not only academically intelligent but also possess good moral character. In conclusion, the implementation of an educational method that integrates Islamic values and positive habits significantly contributes to the development of students' character, making them more disciplined, responsible, and honest. This study emphasises the importance of character education in creating a balanced and quality generation, ready to face the challenges of the times with strong religious principles.

Transformation of Islamic Education Evaluation:

Mohd Waffi Albaraq Mokmin — 2025-05-12

This study aims to develop a comprehensive evaluation model for Islamic education that integrates cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions while incorporating technology-assisted assessment methods. Utilising a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative literature analysis and quantitative instrument development (following the ADDIE model), the research identifies significant gaps in current evaluation practices, particularly the overemphasis on cognitive measurement and inadequate attention to character development. Findings reveal that while traditional evaluation methods dominate (with only 30% of Islamic schools adopting technology-based assessment), pilot implementations of the proposed multidimensional model demonstrate 42% improvement in character outcomes and 35% increased assessment efficiency. The study highlights three key innovations: (1) a three-domain evaluation framework aligned with Islamic educational objectives, (2) digital assessment tools preserving sharia principles, and (3) practical training modules for educator capacity building. Results further indicate that technology integration significantly reduces evaluation time (by approximately 60%) while improving accuracy in spiritual development tracking. The research contributes to educational reform by offering standardised instruments for holistic student assessment and evidence-based policy recommendations to align national education systems with Islamic values, addressing historical limitations in Islamic educational evaluation since the 12th century.

The qualitative research method uses an observational, interview, and documentation approach. The research subjects comprised Islamic Education (PAI) teachers in grade 8 with teaching experience at the school. Data analysis techniques involved processing information obtained from interviews and documents, which were then reviewed and developed according to the author's perspective. The research results indicate that mastery of teacher administration significantly influences the effectiveness of planning and implementing the learning agenda. Teachers who understand their duties and responsibilities better can plan lessons more effectively, thereby facilitating students' comprehension of the material. In conclusion, developing teachers' managerial skills is crucial for creating a conducive and effective learning environment, which ultimately positively impacts students' learning outcomes.

The Transformation of Islamic Education to Strengthen the Morals and Ethics of 21st Century Students

Tsabita Nawal Hidayah — 2025-08-30

This study aims to explore the influence of Islamic education on students' moral and ethical development using a qualitative literature review approach. It analyses findings from previous studies to understand how Islamic education contributes to character building based on the values of the Qur'an and Hadith. The results show that Islamic education not only serves as a means of knowledge transfer but also as a foundation for strong moral formation through the integration of values such as niyyah (intention), ikhlas (sincerity), and ihsan (excellence) in learning processes. Moral inculcation is further strengthened by family involvement, social environment, and a holistic curriculum. However, challenges include limited teacher competence, the negative impact of social media, and a lack of public awareness regarding the significance of Islamic education. This study proposes adaptive implementation strategies, such as improved teacher training, use of value-based digital media, and school-family collaboration. The novelty of this research lies in its critical synthesis of recent literature and its focus on linking Islamic educational principles with character formation in the face of globalisation. The findings offer significant implications for developing contextually relevant and value-oriented Islamic education policies and practices to nurture morally upright future generations.
