Character-based Prophetic Education in Pondok Pesantren Wali Songo Ponorogo Indonesia

Abstract

Pondok pesantren as an Islamic educational institution is unique in imparting character education. The character education takes place in accordance with Islamic teachings exemplified by Prophet Muhammad SAW. The formation of pesantren culture based on prophetic values is imperative for an effective character education. Prophetic-based character education in pesantren is conducted through intervention and habituation processes. The process of intervention is implemented and developed through various structured learning activities carried out within pesantren boarding schools. The process of habituation on the other hand is created and developed through various situations and conditions accompanied by enforcement that enable santri (students) to apply prophetic values in their daily activities – an important element for shaping their character.
