The Role of Islamic Religious Education in Student Character Building in Middle School

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the impact of Islamic religious instruction on the moral formation of students in secondary schools. By mapping the problems in the field and examining research gaps, this study will deepen the understanding of the influence of Islamic education in shaping adolescents' personalities. Some of the issues identified include the impact of the secular environment, differences in the quality of teaching and teaching materials, moral decline, the role of religious teachers, and the challenge of integrating religious values with modernity.

The research will focus on three main aspects: curriculum assessment and teaching methods, students' views and experiences, and the contribution of teachers and the school environment. Using a qualitative approach, data will be collected through observation, questioning and document review. Analysis will use thematic methods to find patterns and emerging themes.

The results reveal a diversity of student responses to Islamic studies, covering aspects such as personal relationships, motivation, interest and relevance in daily life. It is important to note that these variations not only reflect individual differences in religious experience, but are also influenced by complex environmental, cultural and social factors.
