Integration of Islamic Values in Elementary School Activities to Develop a Generation of Noble Character

Abstract

This study aims to describe the integration of Islamic values in both academic and non-academic activities at the elementary school level and to analyze its role in shaping students’ noble character. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation at SDN 02 Labuhan Haji, involving the principal, Islamic education teachers, classroom teachers, and upper-grade students as respondents. The findings reveal that the integration of Islamic values has become an essential part of all school activities. Teachers serve as role models by encouraging students to pray, greet others respectfully, recite short Qur’anic verses, and maintain cleanliness. Non-academic activities such as congregational prayers, Qur’an recitation, and Friday charity also foster social awareness, responsibility, and empathy among students. The main challenge in implementing Islamic values lies in the lack of consistent reinforcement from the home environment.
