Abstract:
The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao is implementing an Arabic learning program, the Arabic
Language and Islamic Values Education (ALIVE), that integrates learners' beliefs and culture, fostering faith and
values. However, the program faces moral crises like violence, promiscuity, free sex, and drugs. School participation
and teacher involvement are crucial to address these issues. Furthermore, research on the Arabic Language and Islamic
Values Education (ALIVE) Towards Tarbiyah Character Formation is limited, despite the program's implementation
to improve Muslim students' religious and moral education in the Philippines. The degree to which pupils are aware of
and comprehend the teachings of the Quran and Hadith, as well as how these teachings affect their conduct and
interactions with their classmates, families, teachers, and the community, is unclear. Thus, the study explored how the
ALIVE program influences tarbiyah character formation in Kabacan District Elementary Schools, shedding light on
the role of Islamic education in shaping moral values among Filipino-Muslim students. The findings can help improve
teaching practices, align the curriculum with students' cultural needs, and promote tolerance and peaceful coexistence.
A descriptive-correlational research design was employed to analyze and interpret data. The sample size will be
determined using Yamane's formula with a 5% margin of error. Two hundred fifty respondents were identified through
purposive and stratified random sampling. Results revealed that the programs have the potential to shape students
positively. There is a strong relationship between the Tarbiyah Character Formation and ALIVE, which indicates a
strong positive correlation. The strong correlation suggests that Tarbiyah Character positively contributes to students'
overall engagement and well-being, further underscoring the value of moral and character education. The essence of
Tarbiyah is a life guidance that is relevant, dynamic, and universal, establishing Islam as a worldwide civilization.
Hence, the findings affirm the program's positive impact in nurturing academic and character development, supporting
its role in cultivating cultured graduates who embody human values within society.
