Evaluasi Implementasi Kurikulum Pendidikan Agama Islam Berbasis Karakter

Abstract

This research assesses the effectiveness of implementing a character-based Islamic Education curriculum, with a focus on its role in promoting moral and ethical values among students. Utilizing qualitative research methods such as interviews, observations, and document analysis, the study investigates critical elements of curriculum design, teacher readiness, and the incorporation of character education within classroom practices. The results indicate that although the curriculum effectively integrates Islamic values into educational materials and activities, there are significant challenges in its execution. These challenges include insufficient teacher training, limited resources, and a lack of consistent evaluation processes. Additionally, the research highlights the significance of school culture and community engagement in supporting character education initiatives. For successful implementation, it is essential to align teaching methods with character development objectives and embed these values into everyday school life. Recommendations for improvement include enhancing professional development opportunities for teachers, optimizing available curricular resources, and establishing systematic evaluation practices to ensure long-term success. This study adds to the conversation surrounding Islamic Education by providing valuable insights into effective strategies for nurturing students' moral character through a cohesive curriculum framework.
