Introduction

Revitalization of islamic values in the character building of students through islamic religious education at sdn ketapang 1. Revitalizing Islamic values via PAI helps build elementary students' character at SDN Ketapang 1. This study shows positive impacts on their morals and spiritual discipline.

Abstract

In the era of globalization and digitalization, the main challenge faced by the world of education is the decline in the morals and character of students in elementary schools. This phenomenon shows the need to instill noble values as the foundation for building children's character. This study aims to describe the process of revitalizing Islamic values through Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and its influence on the character building of students at SDN Ketapang 1. The research approach used is qualitative with a case study, involving observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation techniques to obtain comprehensive data. The data were analyzed inductively through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the implementation of various methods, such as discussions, question and answer sessions, simulations, and stories about the Prophet and his companions, was able to increase the internalization of Islamic values and strengthen the affective and psychomotor aspects of students. The habit of routine religious activities, such as praying in congregation and reciting the Qur'an, also shapes students' spiritual discipline and positive character. Although there is a dependence on the lecture method, in general, this approach is able to create a pleasant learning atmosphere and has a positive effect on the character development of students. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening values-based education as an effort to shape a young generation with Islamic character in the modern era

Review

The submitted paper, "Revitalization of Islamic Values in The Character Building of Students Through Islamic Religious Education at SDN Ketapang 1," addresses a highly pertinent and critical issue within contemporary education: the decline in student morals and character amidst the challenges of globalization and digitalization. The study's focus on elementary school students underscores the foundational importance of early character development, making this research particularly timely and relevant. By aiming to describe the process and influence of revitalizing Islamic values through Islamic Religious Education (PAI), the paper offers valuable insights into practical approaches for values-based education in a specific institutional context. The methodological approach, utilizing a qualitative case study with observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, appears well-suited to the exploratory and descriptive nature of the research question, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the intricate processes at play. The findings effectively highlight the efficacy of diverse teaching methods, including discussions, question-and-answer sessions, simulations, and storytelling rooted in prophetic traditions, in fostering the internalization of Islamic values and strengthening students' affective and psychomotor development. Furthermore, the emphasis on routine religious activities, such as congregational prayer and Quran recitation, provides concrete evidence of how spiritual discipline is cultivated, leading to positive character formation. The study commendably notes that, despite a perceived reliance on the lecture method, the overall approach successfully created an engaging learning atmosphere with discernible positive effects on student character. While the abstract acknowledges a dependence on the lecture method, further discussion in the main paper on how this potential limitation was managed or integrated into a generally positive outcome would be beneficial. Nevertheless, the study successfully underscores the critical importance of strengthening values-based education as a proactive strategy to cultivate a young generation with strong Islamic character in the modern era. The insights gleaned from SDN Ketapang 1 offer valuable lessons for other educational institutions grappling with similar challenges. Future research could potentially explore the long-term impact of these interventions, conduct comparative studies across different schools or regions, or investigate teacher training needs to effectively implement such diversified pedagogical approaches. Overall, this paper provides a timely and practical contribution to the discourse on character education, offering actionable insights for educators and policymakers alike.
