Pendidikan Islam sebagai Fondasi Pendidikan Karakter

Abstract

Education in Indonesia is faced with the problem of low morals, in particular among teenagers, such as brawls between students, promiscuity, drugs, and a lack of respect for teachers. In the field of education, the cultivation of students’ character needs to receive great attention. Strengthening character education in the present context is very relevant to overcome the moral crisis that is happening in this country. This condition of moral decadence indicates that the inculcation of religious teachings and character values obtained in school has not been entirely successful because they have not shown significant results on changes in student behavior in their lives. Character education in Islam is in principle based on two main sources of Islamic teachings, namely the Qur'an and Hadith. Thus the parameter of good and bad in a person's character has a certain standard according to the Qur'an and Hadith. As the basis of Islamic education, the Qur'an and Al-Hadith are references to seek, create, and develop paradigms, concepts, principles, theories, and techniques of Islamic education, even in every educational effort. Because it is sourced from the two main teachings of Islam, Islamic education is called the foundation for character education. Keywords: Islamic education, character education Abstrak Pendidikan di Indonesia dihadapkan pada masalah rendahnya akhlak terutama di kalangan remaja, misalnya adanya tawuran antar pelajar, pergaulan bebas, narkoba, serta kurangnya sikap hormat kepada guru. Dalam bidang pendidikan, penanaman karakter terhadap peserta didik perlu mendapat perhatian besar. Penguatan pendidikan karakter dalam konteks kekinian sangat relevan untuk menanggulangi krisis moral yang sedang melanda di negara ini. Kondisi dekadensi moral ini menandakan bahwa penanaman nilai agama dan nilai karakter yang didapatkan di bangku sekolah belum sepenuhnya berhasil karena belum menampakkan hasil yang signifikan terhadap perubahan perilaku peserta didik dalam kehidupannya. Pendidikan karakter dalam Islam pada prinsipnya didasarkan pada dua sumber pokok ajaran Islam, yaitu Al-Qur’an dan Hadis. Dengan demikian, parameter baik dan buruk dalam karakter seseorang memiliki standar tertentu menurut Al-Qur’an dan Hadis. Sebagai dasar pendidikan Islam, Al-Qur’an dan Hadis dalah rujukan untuk mencari, membuat, dan mengembangkan paradigma, konsep, prinsip, teori, dan teknik pendidikan Islam, termasuk juga dalam setiap upaya pendidikan. Karena bersumber dari Al-Qur’an dan Hadis yang merupakan pokok ajaran Islam, maka pendidikan Islam disebut sebagai fondasi bagi pendidikan karakter. Kata kunci: pendidikan Islam, pendidikan karakter
