Main Article Content
Abstract
This study delves into the integration of simplicity values within Islamic Religious Education and Character Education in Palopo City, highlighting the crucial role these values play in shaping individuals capable of confronting contemporary society's moral and material challenges. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research evaluates educational content for its alignment with simplicity principles and gauges student comprehension and application of these values. Results indicate a strong correlation between the teachings of Islamic religious education and the cultivation of a simple, ethical lifestyle, emphasizing virtues such as honesty, humility, and social responsibility. Most students exhibit a sound understanding of simplicity, pointing to the effectiveness of current pedagogical methods. Nonetheless, the study identifies a need for enhanced teaching strategies to engage a subset of students showing lesser comprehension. The findings advocate for a concerted effort among educators, parents, and the broader community to embed simplicity deeply in educational practices. The study suggests that it is pivotal for individual character development and fostering a just, sustainable, and harmonious society. It underscores the importance of continuous educational refinement and community involvement in nurturing a generation that values simplicity and ethical living, thereby contributing to the global fight against materialism and corruption.
