Description
Summary:This qualitative study uses the design of "multiple cases" and "single-site" to explore thephilosophy, importance, characters sown, implementation strategies, influencing factors, and theimpact of character education in the development of student character in Kuttab Al-Fatih (KAF),Depok. The four data collection methods used were semi-structured interviews, focus groupdiscussions, observations, and documentation. Data were obtained from 4 teachers, 21 students, 7parents, a headmaster, and a counselor. Analysis and interpretation of data are done through the transcripts, encoding, inter-rater, exhibiting, triangulation and interpretationprocedures. Findings show that the philosophy of character education in KAF is "Faith before theQur'an", "?d?b before knowledge", and "knowledge before practice". The significance of the implementation of character education in KAF affects the memorization of the Quran,the academic ability, and the character of students' faith which is the basis of thoughts,feelings, and actions. The faith character is the character of a believer formed naturally as aresult of psychological processes because it has six pillars of faith in Islam. However, the threemain characteristics of faith inculcated are faith in Allah S.W.T, faith in the Prophet MuhammadS.A.W, and faith in the Day of Judgment. Implementation strategies are used to touch on cognitive,affection, and action in the levels of readiness, knowledge, emotions, and action through thehabituation of ?d?b and learning the Qur'an (reading, writing, remembering, and tad?bbur).Factors influencing implementation are found to be divided into two, namely internal factors andexternal factors. Internal factors are resources and implementation strategies; and teachers aswell as simply facilities. While external factors are the internal of students, parents, home andenvironment; and community. The effect of character education in KAF shows that students canpractice ?d?b consistently, memorize the Quran and good academic achievement, influencefamily, friends and community to behave well, as well as the effect on the formationof faith character of students, teachers, parents, and society; and then give apositive impact on KAF. The implication of this study found, to achieve effectivecharacter education is faith-based character education based on the Quran and Hadith. Finally,the present study produce the model of implementation of character education strategy that canadopt by all parties withoutboundaries by nation, ethnic, and place.
