Religious Values and Dhikr Practice as a Framework for Moral Character Building in Islamic Elementary Schools
Abstract This study aims to analyze the formation of students’ moral character through dzikir practices and the internalization of religious values at MI Al-Khairiyah Dusun Melik, Parijatah Kulon Village, Srono District, Banyuwangi Regency. The research is motivated by behavioral issues among students, particularly declining discipline, politeness, and self-control, highlighting the need for spiritually grounded pedagogical approaches. Using a descriptive qualitative method with data collected through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and document analysis, the study investigates the roles of teachers, school culture, and religious activities in shaping students’ character. The findings reveal that daily dzikir enhances emotional calmness, spiritual awareness, and adherence to school norms. Additionally, the internalization of religious values—instilled through habituation, modeling, and integration in Islamic education lessons—effectively fosters responsibility, empathy, and respectful attitudes among students. These results indicate that character formation becomes more effective when spiritual practices and value-based instruction are consistently embedded in school routines. The study also fills a gap in the literature regarding the use of dzikir as a pedagogical strategy in Islamic elementary education and proposes a viable model of religious-based character development for primary schools in Indonesia. Keywords: moral character, dzikir, religious values, habituation, character education.

Inclusive Islamic and Nature-Based Primary School Model
This study aims to formulate a model of an inclusive Islamic and nature-based elementary school. Many children with special needs have not received formal basic education due to the limited number of Special Schools (SLB) in Indonesia. The capacity of SLB and inclusive schools is only 3%, leaving 97% of children with special needs without access to formal education. A qualitative research method was employed, involving observation and in-depth interviews. The results show that an inclusive Islamic and nature-based elementary school is a public school that accepts children with special needs, accompanied by special assistant teachers. Activities include spiritual aspects (reading the Quran, congregational prayers, memorizing hadiths) and cognitive aspects (learning in the classroom and utilizing nature). Children with special needs can participate in activities without being required to master academic aspects, but develop life skills. The findings suggest that the government's limitations can be overcome by public schools accepting children with special needs, enabling them to actualize themselves. As Muslims, it is obligatory to teach all children to worship without discrimination. It is hoped that educational institutions will participate in the jihad of teaching Islam to all people, including those with special needs.
