ISLAMIC-BASED CHARACTER EDUCATION IN YASALMUNA KINDERGARTEN OF PALANGKARAYA

Abstract

Providing a good example as an Islamic character in children is the starting point so that children have a good personality so that they can become pious children. The role and figure of an educator or teacher becomes the initial milestone in the development of Islamic character (akhlaqul karimah) in students. In the overall teaching of Islam, morals occupy a special and very important position. Moral teachings in Islam are adapted to human nature. Therefore, researchers are interested in conducting research related to how Islamic-based character education has been applied by educational institutions, especially early childhood education institutions. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach that aims to describe, reveal, explain and analyze real problems. The research was conducted at Yasalmuna Kindergarten of Palangkaraya in March 2023 and the research subject was the teacher of Yasalmuna Kindergarten of Palangkaraya. The results obtained were to instill Islamic character in early childhood, which is done over moral habituation and guidance. Instilling Islamic character in children is to have a good character to God, to fellow, and to the environment.
