Abstract

This study aims to describe the urgency of religious character education in facing the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Because, religion is a very important source of character, even becoming the core of character education. Peseta students who are well religious by themselves have a strong character, so that 17 value criteria from the Ministry of Education and Culture are attached to these students. People who are religious correctly do not contradict Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution, even religion supports the establishment of the constitution and the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological methods. The informants were teachers in the former Banyumas Residency, namely from Banyumas Regency, Cilacap Regency, Purbalingga Regency and Banjarnegara Regency. Data were obtained by interviews, observations, and documentation studies. Data validation is done by triangulation, both source triangulation and engineering triangulation. The results showed that conducting religious character education is not enough to be done cognitively, but must be done with an effective approach. Affective education is not effective when done instructionally, but must be done by good example and by habituation. With habituation, students reflexively behave as desired, becoming individuals with character.
