Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore the implementation of Arabic Language and Islamic Values Education (ALIVE), specifically, it sought answers to the question: How do the participants view their experiences in the implementation of Arabic Language and Islamic Values Education (ALIVE) program? The study employed a qualitative multiple case research design. The participants of this study were the ALIVE learners of DepEd Palimbang District I, Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat. Purposive sampling was used in determining the participants of the study. The study had four formulated themes which were the best practices, benefits, opportunities, and similarities and differences in the implementation of ALIVE program. The following topics were developed by the best practices theme: creating a positive atmosphere, adopting moral principles, learning the Arabic language and alphabet, and using knowledge. The following emerging themes emerged from the benefits: educating about Islam, learning useful skills, and applying what was learned. The following themes have emerged as a result of the opportunities: socializing, self-development, and upgrading education. However, in order to assess its effectiveness in promoting Islamic principles and Arabic language competency, this study is crucial. This study provided insightful information about the program's effectiveness, room for improvement, and wider relevance in fostering religious education and cultural awareness in schools and society at large.
