Fiqh education in the context of Islam is often understood merely as the transfer of knowledge regarding normative laws. However, the exploration of fiqh education as a process that can shape students' character in accordance with the goals of education, which not only transfers knowledge but also forms individual values and character, has not yet been evident. This is due to the lack of understanding of the essence of fiqh education from the perspective of educational philosophy. This article aims to explain that fiqh should not only be viewed as law but also as education rich in moral   and character values. Fiqh education, when analyzed through several philosophical perspectives such as ontological, epistemological, axiological, and methodological studies, reveals its moral and character values. From an ontological perspective, fiqh education can be directed towards understanding the meaning of Islamic education and the relationship between fiqh law and moral values. This shows that fiqh education plays a role in building students' character. In the epistemological aspect, the Qur'an and Hadith serve as the primary sources of knowledge. Teaching methods that include textual, rational, and empirical approaches motivate students to understand the legal context more deeply. Axiology in fiqh education emphasizes the importance of moral values and social responsibility, aiming to shape individuals with high morality. Teaching methodologies are also evolving with new approaches, such as problem-based active learning, to enhance students' interest in understanding the material. Thus, it is hoped that the education of fiqh will not only produce individuals who are well-versed in normative laws but also individuals of noble character in accordance with religious teachings.

The large amount of discrimination against children with HIV/AIDS in Kebumen Regency causes many problems from the social, economic and educational spheres for the victims. They are not getting their rights which should receive protection and education because of this discrimination. In this case, special attention is needed from the Kebumen Regency Regional Government in addressing this problem. The SPARKLE program aims to provide learning and psychological assistance to those affected by discrimination to help fulfill their rights as children to receive education and the right not to be discriminated against. This program is collaborated with the Finnish curriculum module (Highscope) which focuses on their interests and talents during mentoring. This is because the child's age and background do not allow them to follow theoretical learning. Therefore, it is necessary to use varied, creative and interesting methods so that participants remain focused on learning. In this way, mentoring will be effective in increasing their interest in living a life that previously was always haunted by the discrimination they received.

The uneven distribution of guidance on the Pancasila Student Profile (P3) material as part of the Independent Curriculum at all levels of education and regions in Indonesia has caused some teachers who take the Teacher Professional Education (PPG) to have minimal knowledge in designing indicators for the Pancasila Student Profile (P3). This classroom action research aims to determine the independence of PPG participants for Catholic religious teachers and the concept of critical reasoning in designing indicators for the P3 dimension. The research was carried out in four stages of planning, implementation, evaluation and reflection in the Lokakarya 1 Batch 1 class in 2024 totalling 17 people. The results of the study showed that learning for Catholic religious teachers who implemented professional teacher education (PPG) with the problem based on learning method was proven to be able to increase independence from 68% in cycle 1 to 87% in cycle 2. In the process, it was also proven that there was an increase in critical reasoning skills in designing P3 dimension observation indicators according to the final development path in phases A, B, and C of Elementary School (SD) education from 55 to 88 in cycle 2.
