- Abstract
This study aims to find and describe the character education model for students studying in Islamic boarding school, East Java Province, as a medium to prevent radicalism. Empirically, Islamic boarding schools have a very strong culture in implementing character education through both formal and non-formal education. The formal education can be taught by discipline, cleanliness, obedience to the rules, respect for caregivers and teachers, the spirit of seeking knowledge, and simplicity. Meanwhile, the non-formal ones include discipline in congregational and midnight prayer, respect for caregivers or teachers, and respect for all people. By implementing such education model, all students’ activities are very solid and always oriented on good and religious activities to avoid student radicalism behaviors including but not limited to thought, speech, and deeds. Character education has been applied in Islamic boarding schools for a long time period through students’ daily habits and various good examples from their caregivers, coaches, and teachers in the form of behaviors, ethics, morals, and language speech. Such education can further be used as a medium to prevent student radicalism expressed in the form of words, thoughts and actions. This study contributes to the development of education based on character building applied in formal and non-formal education as well as in public schools and private schools.
