Konsep Pendidikan Karakter dalam Syair-Syair Ta’lim al-Muta’allim dan Relevansinya dengan Metodologi Pendidikan Agama Islam Abad 21

Abstract

This study aims to examine the concept of character education contained in the Ta'lim al-Muta'allim poems and examine their relationship with the methodology of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in the 21st century. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research type, where the main data source is the Ta'lim al-Muta'allim text supported by various scientific literature from the last ten years. Data analysis was conducted through content analysis techniques with a descriptive-analytical approach. The results of the study indicate that the character education values ​​contained in the Ta'lim al-Muta'allim poems, such as intention, perseverance, patience, and etiquette towards teachers, have spiritual, moral, and social dimensions that are integrated in the learning process. These values ​​are also closely related to the principles of 21st-century learning, especially in strengthening intrinsic motivation, resilience in learning, and ethical interaction in collaborative learning. In addition, this study found that the combination of classical character education values ​​with modern PAI methodology can produce a more comprehensive and contextual learning approach. However, this research still has limitations due to its conceptual nature, necessitating further empirical research. Therefore, this study provides a theoretical contribution to the development of Islamic education while also offering practical recommendations for educators in integrating character values ​​into Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning.
