Character Education's Role in Islamic Education and Its Impact on Social Affairs

Abstract
Education is the main foundation in forming individual character, especially social care character which shows concern for the social environment. This essay discusses how cultivating a caring personality can help solve many problems in the Indonesian education system. One focal point is the disturbing trend of contemporary education to ignore the need for good character development. Character education, especially as outlined in the 2013 Curriculum, is recommended as a means to achieve this goal, with the aim of producing citizens who are not only intelligent but also really care about the welfare of others. Scholars such as Gardner and Bandura, whose opinions are echoed in the essay, emphasize the need for social concern. One part of the proposed comprehensive and integrated research strategy is the incorporation of social care values into the curriculum and co-curricular activities. Active learning tactics, role-play activities, and reflective conversations are tools that can be used to help students grow into socially responsible individuals. Our hope is that the ideas and strategies presented in this article will significantly change the way character education is understood and implemented in the field of social care. In conclusion, it is underlined how important it is to cultivate the character of social care in order to create people who are ethical and proactive in creating positive change in society. Comprehensive strategies and cross-sector collaboration are needed to overcome difficulties such as lack of information, implementation in schools, the influence of the digital era, and multidimensional crises if we want to achieve successful character development in modern social dynamics.
