Internalisasi Nilai-Nilai Pendidikan Karakter Melalui Program Tahfidzulqur’an Di SMP Islam Al Hadi Sukoharjo Tahun Pelajaran 2021/2022

Character education is an important issue in the world of education related to the phenomenon of moral degradation that occurs in society. Crime, bullying, corruption, violence against children, human rights violations are evidence of the identity crisis and characteristics of the Indonesian nation. Politeness, manners and religiosity that are upheld are foreign and rarely found in society. This condition becomes worse when there are no long-term or short-term improvement programs. So the existence of the tahfizh al-quran program is so that there is a change in good behavior in everyday life as a form of application of the knowledge gained. The purpose of this study is to describe the process and identify obstacles to the internalization of character education values in Al Hadi Sukoharjo Islamic Junior High School. This research is included in qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. Data collection was done by interview, observation and documentation. The subjects of this study were the principal, waka pawns of the curriculum, tahfidzul Qur’an teachers, and students. Meanwhile, data analysis was carried out in three ways, such as data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing or data verification. To ensure the validity of the data that has been obtained, this is done by conducting triangulation of sources. The results of the study indicate that the internalization of character education values can be through the exemplary method, the direction method (give guidance), the motivation method and the habituation method. The process of internalized values includes the value of discipline, the value of responsibility, the value of honesty, the value of hard work and the value of independence. Constraints in the internalization of character education values are divided into two internally and externally. Internal constraints are students who have not been able to read the Koran fluently and some students feel lazy in memorizing the Koran. While externally, namely the lack of attention from parents to the level of development and characteristics of students, a less supportive environment, educators who are lacking in cultivating the quranic character of students, the Covid-19 pandemic and the allocation of limited learning time
