Abstract


The instillation of Islamic religious education values for early childhood is currently a pillar for preschool teachers and parents. The rampant promiscuity, juvenile delinquency, consumption of illicit goods, free sex, and the destruction of the nation's children's morals have become a center of deep concern. This study aims to determine the instillation of Islamic religious education values in early childhood, to determine and examine the steps for character formation in early childhood and the obstacles faced, and to analyze the results of instilling Islamic religious education values for the formation of student character. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research to process the required information data. The results of the study indicate that (1) Instilling Islamic religious education values from an early age for the formation of student character at Al Fatihah School Kindergarten, Pedurungan District, Semarang City is carried out by instilling the values of faith education, instilling the values of akhlakul karimah education, instilling the values of worship education, instilling the values of community education. (2) The obstacles faced by educators in the formation of student character can be seen from the lack of cooperation from parents of students in following up on character formation stimulation, there are still students who are less focused at school due to several factors including the influence of gadgets, short videos and the influence of friends at home. The steps taken by educators to overcome obstacles in the formation of student character are by carrying out parenting activities for parents of students twice a year, class teachers teach character to students using the role-playing method, and teachers teach students how to worship properly, memorize short letters using the movement method, and character formation is carried out by practicing directly in the school environment by learning to say hello and greet others when meeting on the street. (3) The results of instilling Islamic religious education values from an early age for character formation at the Al Fatihah School Kindergarten, Pedurungan District, Semarang City are that students begin to understand religious values, including understanding who my God is, what my religion is, how to pray, how to have a good attitude towards teachers, parents and friends, and being able to differentiate between good and bad behavior.
