Abstract

The integration of character education through peer interactions presents a complex landscape, especially within modern Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. Despite a growing body of literature, there remains a dearth of research addressing the nuanced dynamics and actual challenges encountered in this context. To bridge this gap, our study aims to investigate the multifaceted aspects of character education integration using a sequential mix-method approach. Data were collected via a close-ended questionnaire administered to the 212 students from Pondok Modern Ponorogo, situated in East Java, Indonesia, supplemented by in-depth interviews with the 15 participants. Our findings uncover a nuanced landscape wherein peer interactions serve as both facilitators and obstacles to character development. Insights underscore the empowering role of peer support and collaborative learning in nurturing virtues. Yet, instances of peer pressure can engender moral dilemmas and deviate from desired values, highlighting the necessity for targeted interventions. This underscores the importance of tailored strategies that leverage the constructive aspects of peer interactions while addressing potential negative influences. Our study provides valuable insights for future research and the development of effective character education strategies within Islamic boarding school contexts.
