ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OF CHARACTER-BASED ISLAMIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY IN SMP QURAN AL-HAMIDY PRINGSEWU LAMPUNG

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the strategy for developing a character-based Islamic education curriculum at Al-Hamidy Pringsewu Junior High School in Lampung. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation. The results of the study show that the curriculum development strategy in this school is carried out through three main approaches: (1) the integration of character values into general and religious subjects, (2) the implementation of Islamic habituation activities such as congregational prayer, tahfidz, and mentoring, and (3) the involvement of all school elements in Islamic school culture. Curriculum development is carried out collaboratively between school principals, teachers, and school committees. The obstacles faced include limited human resources and supporting facilities for character learning. In conclusion, the strategies implemented show effectiveness in shaping students' character, but still need to be strengthened in aspects of teacher evaluation and training.
