Muhammad Arief

Abstract


Religious extracurricular activities in schools play a crucial role in shaping students’ character. This study aims to analyze the influence of religious extracurricular activities on character development, focusing on moral values, discipline, and social attitudes. This research employs a quantitative method with a survey approach, involving students actively participating in religious extracurricular activities in several schools. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and regression tests to examine the relationship between participation in religious activities and students’ character development. The results indicate that students’ involvement in religious extracurricular activities significantly contributes to the improvement of their moral values, discipline, and social attitudes. These findings suggest that religious extracurricular programs can serve as an effective means of character building, and it is recommended that schools continue to develop and optimize such activities.
