Abstract

Currently, character education has become one of the main challenges for educational institutions in Indonesia, i.e. to give birth school graduates who have good characters. Pesantren as the oldest form of Islamic educational institution to survive in Indonesia also faces this challenge. This study aims to analyze the implementation of character education in Al-Amin Pesantren (Islamic boarding school) in Prenduan, Sumenep, Madura. Focus of the problem discussed in this paper is what are values of character education taught in Al-Amin Pesantren, and how relevant they are to those assigned by the Indonesia’s national education system. The results of this study suggest that the implementation of character education in Al-Amin Pesantren is carried out by the application of the “Panca Jiwa” (five spirits) principle, which consists of values of sincerity, modesty, independence, Islamic brotherhood, and freedom. The paper also shows that the Panca Jiwa principle is highly relevant to values of character education assigned by the Indonesia’s national system of education. This study concludes the ability of Al-Amin Pesantren as an Islamic boarding school to respond to the current challenges in society with regard to the formulation of character education that is relevant with and assigned by the country’s national system of education.
