Students' Social Character in Islamic Education and Character Education Through a Holistic Approach
Keywords:
Social Charakter, PAI and Moral, Holistic AproachAbstract
Social character development is an urgent need in vocational education to prepare students with integrity and the ability to collaborate. This study aims to describe in depth the process of developing students' social character through the implementation of a holistic approach in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and Character Building at SMK Negeri 1 Purbalingga. The method used is descriptive qualitative, relying on data from observations, interviews, and documentation. Social character development is implemented through three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation, which consistently integrate cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. The main findings indicate that although the dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile (PPP) have not been fully integrated sustainably into the PAI curriculum, social character development is significantly strengthened through activities outside of learning. Activities such as extracurricular ROHIS, social service, and collaboration with the community provide opportunities for students to practice social values in a concrete way. This study confirms that social character development is comprehensive, not only relying on the PAI curriculum, but is strengthened through the practice of social values in the school environment and outside the classroom.
