Peran Pendidikan Islam dalam Pembentukan Karakter Generasi-Z

Abstract

Character education plays an important role in shaping a quality generation, especially in the digital era with the emergence of generation Z. This generation, which grew up with technological advances, faces complex moral and social challenges. Islamic religious education, as one of the important approaches in character formation, plays a role in teaching moral values ??such as honesty, responsibility, and tolerance. The purpose of this study is to explore how Islamic religious education can shape the character of generation Z in facing the challenges of the modern era. The methodology used is a literature study, where data is collected from various relevant literature, such as books, journals, and research related to Islamic education and character formation. The results of this study indicate that the integration of Islamic values ??in character education, both in the curriculum, active learning, and extracurricular activities, is a strategic step in shaping the character of generation Z who are adaptive and responsible. In addition, the application of technology in learning is also needed to improve students' understanding of Islamic values ??in an interesting and interactive way. This study suggests the need for collaboration between schools, parents, and the community to create an environment that supports character education holistically. Thus, Islamic education can shape Generation Z who not only excel in academics, but also have good morals and are ready to make positive contributions to society
