Implementasi Pendidikan Karakter Profil Pelajar Rahmatan Lil ‘Alamin di MIS Tahfizh Cendekia Kota Pekanbaru

Abstract

Character education should be a central emphasis in educational curricula. Educators not only enhance cognitive knowledge but also cultivate good character in students, fostering their development into intelligent and well-rounded individuals. This study seeks to identify the programs executed by madrasas in the implementation of character education through the Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin Student Profile (P2RA) at MIS Tahfizh Cendekia in Pekanbaru City, along with the challenges encountered during implementation and potential solutions to address these challenges. This research employed a qualitative methodology. The techniques employed for data collection comprised observation, interviews, and documentation. Eight individuals participated in the study: the Principal, the Vice Principal for Student Affairs, the Tahfizh Coordinator, the homeroom teachers for Grades IV and V, the Islamic Religious Education teacher, and students from Grades IV and V. The data analysis techniques employed comprised data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The study identified seven programs executed by Madrasahs in the implementation of character education through the Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin student profile, detailed as follows: 1. Punctuality, 2. Appropriate Attire, 3. Group Prayer, 4. Flag Ceremony, 5. Educational Trip, 6. Scouting Activities, 7. Memorisation and Recitation Program. The Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin student profile encompasses characteristics such as civility, exemplary behaviour, citizenship, and nationality. It emphasises a balanced and straightforward approach, equality, deliberation, tolerance, and a dynamic, innovative spirit. Implementation challenges include insufficient parental cooperation and the diverse characteristics of students. Homeroom teachers should engage in communication with parents and interact with students
