The Role of Islamic Education in the Formation of the Nation's Character

Abstract

This research investigates the role of Islamic education in shaping the national character among students in Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) schools in Indonesia. Employing a quantitative approach, the study surveyed a diverse sample of students across different regions, focusing on the perceived impact of Islamic education on moral values and character development. Results indicate a highly positive perception among participants, with the majority acknowledging the significant influence of Islamic teachings on character traits aligned with the Pancasila principles. The study also reveals regional variations, suggesting that the impact of Islamic education on national character may be nuanced by geographic context. The findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on character formation within the unique educational setting of MAN schools, providing valuable insights for educational policymakers and practitioners.

However, with changes in social and technological dynamics, questions arise about how effective Islamic educational institutions are in preparing the next generation to face the complexities of the modern world (Dewi & Zaenurrosyid, 2023).…”
