This paper will discuss the role of Islamic religious education in schools in the formation of students' character. Character education has become a special concern in Indonesia through its integration in every subject since 2010. Moreover, Al-Islam Education that contains the values of Islamic teachings should be able to strengthen the character of students. But the reality in the field is that there is still a lot of moral degradation that occurs among students. This gap is an interesting study so that the study related to character education through the optimization of Al-Islam Education learning is present. This study uses a method in the form of a qualitative approach to field studies with the research object being at SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Sidoarjo. The data collected was obtained through interviews, observations, and data identification by reading, understanding, discussing data, presenting and drawing conclusions sourced from relevant books and journals. The results of this study show that Al-Islam Education contains the values of Islamic teachings so that it has strong relevance in shaping the character of students in the midst of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. The optimization of Al-Islam Education learning at SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Sidoarjo is carried out through the integration of Pancasila student profiles, the use of learning strategies that can actively involve students, teacher examples, and a supportive environment.

This study explores the planning of character education projects to strengthen the Pancasila student profile through local culture in early childhood education at TK Sukoharjo 1 and TK Desa Majasto 02. Employing a descriptive qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through interviews, observations, and document studies. The findings reveal comprehensive strategies for planning, implementing, and evaluating character education projects. At TK Sukoharjo 01, the project involved forming a facilitator team, identifying readiness stages, and developing specific learning modules. Implementation utilized real-life experiences such as gardening and local markets, while evaluation focused on cooperation, communication, and care. At TK Desa Majasto 02, the project preparation included curriculum development, facilitator team formation, and methods centered around the local culture of "Ngapem," emphasizing global diversity, cooperation, and independence. The implications of these findings are profound for educational policy and practice. Integrating local cultural practices into character education effectively strengthens the Pancasila student profile, fostering values essential for national cohesion and global citizenship. These insights suggest that policymakers and educators should adopt similar culturally embedded educational frameworks, ensuring that character education is theoretically sound, practically relevant, and contextually appropriate. Despite the promising outcomes, limitations include the study's scope confined to two early childhood centers and reliance on qualitative data. Future research should explore applying similar projects in diverse settings, investigating long-term impacts, and integrating quantitative measures to enhance the evidence base.

This article aimed to describe a combination between Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning with religious character while respecting diversity in the story book. This research is part of the research method of designing and developing picture storybooks at the ADDIE model's analysis, design, and development stages. Prototype Design STEM Activity Storybook shows how the picture of project-based learning is implemented. In this storytelling, students can learn how to interact with different tribes, nations, races, and religions to solve environmental problems. In the storybook, there are trigger questions Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) to be discussed in discussions and STEM-Engineering Design Process (EDP). The purpose of developing this book is to illustrate how to combine STEM learning and character education in story books. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
