Implementasi Pendidikan Karakter Dalam Kitab Washaya Al-Aba' Lil Abna' di SMP Pasir Panjang

Abstract

Character education is the process of instilling moral values, ethics, and personality traits aimed at shaping students into faithful, morally upright, responsible, honest, disciplined, and trustworthy individuals capable of applying these values in daily life. One relevant source of character education is the book Washaya al-Aba' lil Abna' by Sheikh Muhammad Syakir al-Iskandari, which contains advice on morality, etiquette, and character formation. Pasir Panjang Junior High School, Lekok District, Pasuruan Regency, uses this book as one of its main references in fostering students' character through learning activities and habituation within the school environment. This study aims to describe the implementation of character values contained in the book and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in the process. A qualitative case-study approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that implementation was carried out through three stages planning, implementation, and evaluation developing values such as religiosity, honesty (ṣidq), trustworthiness (amānah), self-restraint ('iffah), discipline, responsibility, respect for teachers and parents, and politeness, through classroom learning, habituation, teacher role-modeling, and school culture. Supporting factors include the teacher's role, a conducive school environment, parental support, appropriate teaching methods, and habituation, while inhibiting factors include students' limited understanding of the text, negative outside influences, limited instructional time, and insufficient parental supervision at home.
