It is a qualitative-descriptive study where data collection is done through observation, interviews, and documentation from the lecturer of ‘ilm al-ashwat, lecturer of character education, head of sub-section of academic and student affairs, and some students from semesters 3 and 5 who have taken the course. Participants of this research include the first semester students. Findings of this study show that there are some character values internalized in students when learning ‘ilm al-ashwat. The values are classified into two categories. The first is those that are implied in the learning method such as self-confidence, responsibility, reading interest, achievement-motivated quality, and curiosity.
