Implementasi Pendidikan Karakter Melalui Kegiatan Pembiasaan Keagamaan di MTs Hasyim Asy’ari Bojong

Abstract

Character education for students at the high school level is currently experiencing a decline. This is not unrelated to the unusual environment they encounter every day; if they are accustomed to associating with friends and a negative environment, the character that emerges will also be negative. especially in this highly advanced era, where numerous negative influences may easily affect students, whether through social interactions or access to harmful websites via gadgets. This is concerning because they are the future leaders of the nation, who should possess character traits aligned with religious teachings and the Pancasila principles, not those who indulge in alcohol or engage in immoral behavior. This study aims to investigate character development through religious activities at MTs Hasyim Asy’ari Bojong. The research employs a case study approach. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that: these religious activities have a significant impact on students' character, enabling them to become disciplined, responsible, honest, obedient individuals, and ultimately better people.
