INTEGRASI NILAI-NILAI ISLAM DALAM PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER MELALUI PROJECT BASED LEARNING DI MI NURUL FALAH TELUK BETUNG SELATAN BANDAR LAMPUNG TAHUN AJARAN 2025/2026

Abstract

This study aims to describe the integration of Islamic values into character education through the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model at MI Nurul Falah, Teluk Betung Selatan, Bandar Lampung, in the 2025/2026 academic year. The study is based on the importance of early character development, especially in an era that requires schools not only to focus on cognitive aspects but also to develop moral and ethical values grounded in Islamic teachings. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed in this research. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that PjBL is effective in integrating Islamic values into character formation. Through projects such as social service activities, the creation of dakwah media, environmental cleanliness initiatives, and collaborative group tasks, students gained direct experience in practicing honesty, responsibility, cooperation, discipline, and social care. Teachers acted as facilitators who guided students throughout the project process, modeled Islamic behavior, and ensured that Islamic values served as the foundation for every activity. The school’s religious environment further strengthened the internalization of Islamic character values. Therefore, this study concludes that PjBL is an effective and practical learning model for supporting Islamic character education at the primary school level. These findings are recommended for broader implementation in other Islamic educational institutions.
