Character Development of Students through Integrated Religious Learning at Pesantren As'adiyah Sengkang

Abstract

This community service program focuses on strengthening the character development of students (santri) through integrated religious learning at Pesantren As'adiyah Sengkang, South Sulawesi. The primary objective is to enhance the implementation of character education integrated with Islamic religious teachings, combining traditional pesantren values with contemporary educational approaches. The program involved collaborative activities including teacher training, curriculum development workshops, and mentoring sessions designed to optimize character-building processes. Results demonstrate significant improvements in students' religious understanding, moral behavior, and social attitudes. The integrated learning model successfully bridges traditional Islamic education with modern character development frameworks, creating a holistic educational environment. This initiative contributes to strengthening the pesantren's role as an institution for comprehensive character formation, producing graduates who possess both strong religious foundations and excellent moral character suitable for contemporary societal challenges.
