Krisis moral yang melanda dunia pendidikan modern menuntut pendekatan pendidikan karakter yang lebih mendalam dan integral. Meskipun kebijakan seperti Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter (PPK) telah digulirkan, implementasinya seringkali hanya bersifat simbolis dan tidak menyentuh akar pembinaan jiwa peserta didik. Studi ini mengkaji konsep pendidikan karakter dalam pandangan Ibnu Miskawaih, seorang filsuf Muslim abad ke-10, yang menekankan pentingnya penyucian jiwa (tazkiyat al-nafs), pembiasaan amal saleh, dan peran akal dalam membentuk perilaku moral. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka dengan pendekatan deskriptif-kualitatif melalui telaah kritis terhadap karya utama Ibnu Miskawaih, Tahdzib al-Akhlak, serta sumber sekunder yang relevan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa konsep karakter menurut Ibnu Miskawaih tidak hanya menekankan aspek lahiriah, tetapi juga pembentukan moral batiniah melalui integrasi spiritual, intelektual, dan etis. Pendekatannya yang menyeimbangkan akal dan nafsu menjadi sangat relevan dalam merespon degradasi moral, krisis integritas, dan pragmatisme pendidikan saat ini. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa pemikiran Ibnu Miskawaih dapat dijadikan fondasi bagi pengembangan kurikulum karakter yang tidak hanya mencerdaskan secara kognitif, tetapi juga membentuk manusia berakhlak dan bermartabat. Studi ini juga merekomendasikan integrasi nilai-nilai klasik Islam ke dalam sistem pendidikan nasional sebagai langkah strategis menuju pendidikan yang transformatif dan berakar pada nilai spiritual.

Social changes due to technological advancements have transformed the way people relate and associate with one another. Relationships can now be developed more easily, more affordably, and more quickly. As a community, the church is "forced" to re-evaluate whether the methods of learning and faith formation that have been applied so far still meet the needs of today’s congregation. Using a qualitative method with a literature-based approach, the researcher investigates the biblical perspective on this issue and finds that close relationships among members are a key indicator in learning and faith formation, as exemplified by the early church. Bringing the church back to its original design as the family of God (oikos), while utilizing current technological advancements, will make the church a constructive place for learning and nurturing the faith of its members.

The application of discipline as a character education training strategy in early childhood plays a crucial role in shaping children's personality, behavior, and social skills. This study aims to analyze theoretically and practically how discipline can be applied as a character formation strategy in early childhood, considering the role of the family and school environment. The research method uses a qualitative approach through a literature review of 15 Sinta-accredited journal articles in 2020–2024. The results of the study show that positive discipline based on examples, praise, and behavioral habits is more effective than the punishment approach. Families and schools play a role as the main environment in instilling discipline values, although there are still gaps in the application of practices and adaptations in various socio-cultural contexts. This study recommends collaboration between parents and teachers, the development of creative strategies in schools, and the need for further, more in-depth research to optimize the application of discipline as a foundation for character formation in early childhood

This paper investigates various forms of church training for children, highlighting the central role of the family as the primary foundation. Based on a theological interpretation of Job 5:18 and an understanding of the family as a "mini church," this article explores how the family functions as the primary agent in instilling Christian values ​​through education, character education, faith and moral cultivation, and parental role models. In addition, this paper identifies the unique characteristics of children in terms of nature, needs, physical, mental, moral, psycho-social, and faith development that need to be considered in designing effective training strategies. Furthermore, this article outlines the main materials of child training and various implementation strategies that can be applied by churches and families, including increasing Sunday school services, age grouping, dexterity training, utilization of literature, emphasizing God's love and calling, and teaching principles from Proverbs 22:6. This study emphasizes the importance of a deep understanding of children and the development of empathy in the effort to foster the next generation of church members who are faithful and have Christian character.

This study aims to analyze the role of fitness development in shaping the discipline and physical resilience of students at UPT SPF SD Negeri 107405 Sei Rotan. The research is motivated by the importance of holistic character education at the elementary level, where fitness does not only focus on physical fitness, but mental formation and discipline.

The implications of this research provide a practical contribution to strengthening character education in elementary schools through a close approach.

The policy proposal by the West Java Provincial Government to introduce mandatory military training for problematic students has sparked public debate concerning its legality, effectiveness, and the state’s approach to addressing juvenile delinquency. This paper analyzes the policy from a legal perspective, particularly in relation to human rights law and the principles embedded in the national education system. Using a normative juridical method with a conceptual and statutory approach, the study finds that the policy potentially violates children's rights, as well as the principles of non-discrimination and fairness in education. Moreover, the coercive approach through military training is deemed incompatible with the spirit of character development, which should be humanistic and participatory. The paper recommends that interventions for problematic students should focus on value-based education, counseling, and empowerment, rather than militarization. Public policy should ensure the protection of children's rights while upholding the principles of proportionality and appropriateness in disciplinary measures.

This study aims to identify the teaching approach and methods used by teachers at TK Pembina 1 Medan in developing the social skills of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), specifically in the B Inovatif class. This research employed a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and documentation. The subjects of the study consisted of two teachers and one child with ASD, identified as Z.

Although some methods, such as role-playing, are still difficult for children with ASD to follow, the teacher adapts these methods to suit the child's needs and abilities. This study reveals that structured and flexible teaching approaches and methods are crucial in helping children with ASD gradually develop their social skills.
