This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Islamic Character Education Program at RA Al-Mu’minin Atula using the Goal Oriented Evaluation model. Islamic character education in early childhood education plays a crucial role in shaping students’ religious attitudes, moral values, and noble character through the internalization of Islamic values from an early age. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected from the head of the institution, classroom teachers, and students through observation and in-depth interviews. The Goal Oriented Evaluation model was applied to assess the achievement of program objectives by comparing predetermined goals with the actual implementation and outcomes in the field. The findings indicate that the Islamic character education program at RA Al-Mu’minin Atula has been implemented fairly effectively, particularly through routine religious activities such as reciting Iqra before learning sessions, collective prayers, and habituation of discipline and polite behavior. The program positively contributes to the development of students’ religious character. However, several aspects require improvement, especially in formulating more measurable indicators and establishing systematic evaluation documentation. In conclusion, the Goal Oriented Evaluation model is appropriate for evaluating Islamic character education programs in early childhood education institutions and provides valuable recommendations for continuous program improvement.

Strengthening 21st century character and skill education is an important demand in today's learning transformation. Game-Based Learning (GBL)-based approaches such as Ludo are believed to present a learning process that is meaningful, fun, while forming positive values. This study aims to review and compare the results of previous studies on the application of GBL in the development of character and skills in the 21st century, especially in Arabic language learning. The method used is a simple systematic literature review of 12 scientific articles published in 2015–2025 obtained from selected scientific databases. The analysis was conducted based on three main dimensions: the game medium, the focus of learning (characters, 4Cs, vocabulary), and the method approach. The results of the study show that GBL is generally effective in improving vocabulary mastery and fostering collaboration, communication, and character values of students. Ludo media in particular has proven to be relevant as a means of value-based learning and interaction. However, studies that explicitly integrate Ludo-based GBL in Arabic language learning are still limited. This research is expected to be a conceptual basis for the development of innovative learning media that is integrative and in accordance with the challenges of 21st century education.

This study aims to explore the role of digital storytelling (DST) as a 21st-century learning strategy in strengthening character education. The rapid development of digital technology and the growing emphasis on student-centered learning have made DST a relevant pedagogical approach that integrates creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication with values-based education. Using a simple systematic literature review (SLR) approach, this study analyzed eight peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2020 and 2024, obtained from international academic databases Scopus. Thematic content analysis was used to synthesize findings and map the contribution of DST to 21st-century learning competencies and character development. The results identified eight key themes: increased student engagement, improved collaboration and communication, enhanced critical thinking and decision-making, creativity and multimodal expression, self-reflection and identity building, empathy and social awareness, interdisciplinary and authentic learning, and the formation of moral values. These findings support constructivist and experiential learning theories and suggest that DST not only enhances cognitive skills but also facilitates affective and ethical development. The study concludes that DST can be a transformative instructional tool in modern education. Practical implications include integrating DST into curricula across disciplines and levels, and equipping educators with training in digital pedagogy and reflective teaching design. Further research is recommended to explore DST implementation in primary and secondary schools and to evaluate its impact using mixed methods.

This article discusses the implementation and innovation of an interactive digital comic titled “Si Panca dan Kekuatan Norma,” designed as a character education tool that integrates Islamic and Muhammadiyah values (AIK) for elementary school students.
