Definition of Islamic Character Education
The term character comes from Greek "karasso" means blueprint, basic format, and fingerprint. Meanwhile, according to the educational terms, the character is the habits, morals, or someone's personality formed from the results of the internalization of various virtues believed to be used as the foundation for the way of looking, thinking and acting. 1 Islamic character education is actually not much different with character education in general; just its basic references are the Qur'an and Hadith. Thus, the values implemented as a manifestation of character education are Islamic values which in Islamic education are commonly called akhlakul karimah. 2 Islamic character education can be understood as an effort to cultivate intelligence to students in thinking, and behaving in accordance with the noble values that are their identity, manifested in interactions with God, themselves, among others, and their environment as a manifestation of God's servants and caliphs SWT. In accordance with the Qur'an Surah al-Dzariyat: 56 and al-Baqarah: 30.
"… and I did not create the Jinn and mankind except that they may serve me." . "Remember when your Lord said to the Angels:" Behold, I was about to make a Caliph in the face of the Earth. "They say:" why do you want to make (the Caliph) on earth that people who will make mischief therein and shed blood, but we always celebrate with praises and purify thee? "And the Lord said,behold,.
In accordance with the paragraph above, only those who are capable of fear can be called as the servants and caliphs of Allah SWT. So, the purpose of Islamic character education is to make students as God's servants and caliphs who are of pious quality. Faith activities cover all fields ranging from beliefs, worship, morality, social interaction activities, way of thinking, to lifestyle.

Basics of Character Building
The basic human nature that is given by God is fujur or honesty (tendency to evil and wickedness) and the nature of piety (tend to goodness), as noticed in surha ash-Shams: 7-8, "And the soul and its perfection (creation), then Allah inspired the soul (path) of wickedness and piety." .
These two basic traits of human are the basis for character building (good and bad values). Human character is the result of attraction between the two values in the form of positive and negative energy. Positive energy in the form of religious ethical values is originated from belief in God, while negative energy in the form of moral values derived from taghut (devil). Ethical values function as a means of purification, purification and generation of true human values (conscience).
Surah al-Lukman verses 12-13 also explains about the basic Islamic character education "...and verily We gave wisdom to Luqman, namely:" give thanks to God. And whosoever shall be thankful (to God), then surely he is thankful for himself; and whoever does not grateful, then surely Allah is Rich again Most Commendable ". And (remember) when Luqman said to his son, at the time he gave lessons to him: "o my son, do not have God, ally (God) is really a great terrors."  It is importance to educate Muslim children with character education, so in the Qur'an, many verses explains about Islamic character education. Many hadiths of Rasulullah also explain about Islamic character education, for example hadith narrated by Imam Tirmidzi as follows: "All children are born with the fitrah (the tendency to believe in God), then their parents who make them Jewish, Christian or of Majus." (Transmited by Tirmidhi).

Urgency of Islamic Character Education in Primary School
Basically, the potential of faith has been given by God since the divergence of the Spirit to humans, there is a primordial agreement between the servants with his Rabb, as described in the Qur'an surah al-A'raf: 172. In fact, every child is born already carries the potential of good character with faith to God Almighty. However, when people already know the environment in his life, then that's the environment that give the colors in her life. So its potential did not develop as they should. When education directing to things that are negative, then the child will be more dominant characters are not well developed, so did the opposite.
Education, in this case, occupied the central position for the establishment of Islamic character to the child. Character building must be done continuously and holistically from all environmental education started from education in families, schools and communities. 3 The three education center will affect his life. When the child is still at home with his parents, then his parents who became a model in his life. However, when child is in schools and in the community, then the child will interact with various human types, good temperaments as well as their customs. So, child tend to imitate what others do, how to speak, style of dress, ways of getting along and so on.
Islamic character education to primary school children is very important, as an attempt to cultivate intelligence to learners in thinking, and behaving in accordance with the sublime values that become the identity of which can be realized in the interaction with their Lord, self-inter-fellow and its environment. 4 Islamic character education is a series of basic principles and primacy of attitude and character that should be owned and made by habits from an early ages to adulthood. If in childhood time, he grew and evolved with rests on a foundation of faith in God and educated to always fear, remember, resigned, ask for help and surrender themselves to him, then he will have the ability and the lack of knowledge in receive every virtue, glory, besides the familiar with the morals of his Majesty.
Education in school has a great contribution towards the creation of human ability and experience. The existence of the school has two important aspects, namely individual and social aspects. More importantly, the school is a strategic place for character education because children of all walks will be educated at the school. Additionally, children spent most of their time in school, so what he obtained in school will affect the formation of his character. To realize the generation that has a solid Islamic character, it is required to plant values of good personality to the children. In this regard, the role of the educator is important, especially when doing the teaching process to the students.
Developing Islamic character education to elementary school will create a good generation that have the good morals, because the Islamic character is religious morality that directs mankind to do well each other, so that a good society would be created and organized. As an expression of Raghib al-Ashfahai, that the Islamic character does not want to install individual authority, the character of Islam has to be based on the ideals of fairness and freedom of individuals to commit social goodness.

The Method of Character Education in Islamic Primary School
Characteristics of elementary school children in government regulations concerning primary education chapter VII about students article 15 paragraph 1, it is stated that in order to be accepted as one's primary school students must be aged at least six years, and based on the same regulation in chapter I on the general provisions, article 2 mentioned that basic education is education of nine years, consisting of a six-year education program in elementary school), and a three-year education program in senior high school (SMP), so it can be drawn the conclusion that the age of SD student is between 6-12 years.
The age of 6-12 years according to Peaget are on the morality of autonomy, is marked with the judge on the basis of the behavior of the underlying objective. 5 The concept of the son of Justice began to change, a rigid idea regarding right and wrong will gradually be modified, so that the child will consider the particular circumstances pertaining to the violation of morals, such as; for children aged five years lying connotation "bad", but for the child who was older would assume that lying could be justified in certain situations and not necessarily "bad". So in this case it takes guidance and attention even once upon a time children have to be invited to the discussion to steer the development of their tought.
While according to Madjid and Andayani, there are several stages of development based on Islamic character of each individual, namely: Tawhid or Unity (0-2 Years); Islamic morality (age 5-6 years); Responsibilities (7-8 years); Concern (9-10 years); Independence (11-12 years); Society (13 years). 6 Based on the classification, then the Islamic character education should be adjusted in accordance with the development stages of the child's character. In order for the purpose of Islamic character education can be achieved optimally. Primary school age is started from a child aged 6 years to 12 years, so that aspect of character education is urgently needed in the Islamic age.
Belief in the existence of fitrah or an innate good in each individual will certainly affect the application of the teaching method against the supposed to be given to the learners. In Islamic education, there are several methods that can be applied and used in the formation of character and instilling faith, i.e:

Parable method (amtsal)
The parable method can help students to understand the concept that is still abstract, also helped to teach character education of teachers in Islam to students. For instance contained in the word of God Almighty The form of implementing this method is almost the same as the method of storytelling or reading stories. The parable method has a pedagogical goal as follows: a. Hold the meanings on understanding b. Stimulating messages and impressions with regard to the meaning implied in the parable, the evocative, fostering feelings of the Godhead. c. Educate the intellect so think logically and use qiyas (syllogism) are logical and healthy d. Parable is the motive that drives the feeling revives the instinct which further arouse the will and drive to do good charity and steer clear of any absence.

Exemplary Method
In planting the Islamic character to the children, the teacher's example is a very effective method, especially when the children are in early childhood. They tend to imitate the acts committed by a parent and teacher. In addition, the teacher must also be able to demonstrate to students the figures that are worth to be suspended because of the minimal model, becomes the question of the moment is crisis example. 7 The student are difficult in being a good role model example (uswatun hasanah), or living moral exemplary damages in a school environment.

Method of 'Ibrah (Good Lesson) and Mauidhah (Advices)
According to an-Nahlawi, both words have a difference in terms of its meaning. Ibrah means a condition that conveys human psychic to digest something witnessed, encountered by using the reason that causes the heart to admit it. Meanwhile, the word mauidhah means a gentle admonition received by the heart by way of explaining the reward or threat. 8 When viewed from its meaning, the method of 'Ibrah more trained the intellect of learners to understand the meaning of a statement, or a psychic condition that conveys man to the essence of something witnessed and faced by the reason. Whereas mauhaidh is more to give motivation to learn by seeing profits and disadvantages in doing deeds.

Habituation Method
Method of habituation is something that is deliberately done over and over again to make it a habit. The core of the method is direct experiences continuously. The students are taught to be used in practicing good acts, learning well, working hard, and responsible for all the tasks given. Like doing time five prayers, complaining do-prayers and short letters. This method is very effective to strengthen the memorization. In psychology, the habitatory method is known as the "operanan conditioning" theory, which familiarize the child performed the praised behavior.

Method of Targhhib and Tarhib
Targhib is an appointment to the pleasure, the presentation of the afterlife with the persistence. While, Tarhib is a threat to sin, the goal is to make people abide by God's command of SWT. But both have different press points, the tughib is given to man to command God's commitment while Tarhib is given to humans to move on the ban.
Threat to sin, the goal is to make people abide by God's command. But both have different press points, the targhib is given to man to command God's commitment while tarhib is given to humans to move away from the prohibition of God.
In modern learning theory, both methods are known as rewards and punishment. Where the method of gift and punishment is a consequence of learning activities learned, if it can be able to reflect a good attitude then he is entitled to the reward as well as otherwise, earnings when he breaks or neglect in his duties and responsibilities.

An effective Teaching Method in Islamic Character Education
Teaching can be defined as the practice of transmitting information in the learning process. This practice can be understood in different ways, but it is clear that teaching is a style of delivery and attention to the needs of the learners/students who applied in classrooms or any environment where the learning occurred. Haugsbakk and Nordkvelle (2007) says that the teaching is facilitation of learning.
In order to be effective and affective teaching, learners should be understood more than just passive recipients of knowledge but rather a person who is directed by the teachers towards a comfortable classroom environment and conditions of emotional, social, psychological and physiological conducive. 9 In addition, which makes effective teaching to become a teacher is how to try to be a role model (modelling), by demonstrating a positive attitude and personality, experienced in teaching, skilled in conveying information, reflective, motivatoris, and passionate to learn as well. So, the role of the teacher is here greatly influence the achievement of learning objectives.
From several methods of Islamic character education for elementary school that are already mentioned above, it appears that the exemplary method is indeed one of the most effective among the other methods, so with the example given by teachers in doing teaching, by spontaneity child will imitate what her teacher. As an expression of Bobbi de Porter that exemplary builds relationships, improve credibility and increase the good influence. 10 The example of the teacher, either directly or indirectly, will help the success of the other methods. This means that when there is the example of the teacher directly, then easily students understand material presented verbally by the teacher, by giving an example example of figures that exemplary when teaching, then protégé will see and imitate the behaviour of commendable performed the character. Give an example from the Rasulullah Saw, ranging from the siddiq, amanah, talbligh and fatonah, as well as the other examples that could be given to the student.
To internalize the Islamic character education to the students can also be done by telling the stories of prophets who give a lot of execution of learners to learners and teachers must also provide examples first. When the teacher is able to implement it, then easily the child will also apply it in everyday life. So, the success of the formation of the Islamic character of the child depends on the extent to which teachers can give a good minimal model of the Queen to his/her students. Moreover, the existence of thematic learning in the curriculum 13. At least the teacher sued for general subjects can integrate with Islamic subjects with internalizes the values of Islam to any field of study in ontological, epistemological and axiological aspects.
In the ontological aspect, the teacher can explain in detail the nature of the Science he teaches true of Almighty God, and to be developed for human prosperity and its surroundings. In epistemologies the teacher can explain how to obtain knowledge in Islam is not only through the five senses, but also there is reason and intuition that can also help in developing human knowledge that gets, by axiology's teachers also can internalize the sublime values as implementation of science that he had learned. Therefore, the student will acquire knowledge holistically, not fragmentary. So it helps students to understand science and implement in real life.

According to Abu Badri Babisono, 12 all religious activity is exercised in order to instill educational values of Islamic character to the protégé. Because Islamic character not just instantly, the character will be formed from the internalization of the values which are consistent, meaning that there is harmony between the elements of the value. For example, the honesty character is formed in a single unity intact between knows the meaning of honesty (what and why to be honest), to be honest, and behave honestly. Because each value is in the spectrum or group values, then psychologically and sociocultural a value should be coherent with the other values in the group to form the characters intact, for examples: honest character related on the value of honesty, responsibility, care, and other values. People who behave honestly in paying taxes, that means he cares about other people, in this case through the State, accountable to other parties, meaning that he will pay a hefty tax on time in accordance with the provisions. Therefore, if all taxpayers already characteristic honesty, there need be no tax collector, and there will be no profit for himself from the procedure of payment of taxes.
The process of integrating these values can be applied as follows: 1. The valuable values of the Islamic character are included in the syllabus and the implementation plan of the learning (RPP).
2. Development of the value of the Islamic character of the Islamic in the syllabus is taken by the following ways in the following ways: a. Assessing the core competencies (Kompetensi Inti-KI) and basic competence (Kompetensi Dasar-KD) on basic education. b. Determine whether the content of the values and characters that are implicitly or impressed in KI and KD or the competence are already included in it. c. Mapping the linkage between KI / KD / competence with value and indicators to determine the value to be developed. d. Set the values or characters in the syllabus compiled, and include values already listed in the syllabus to RPP. e. Develop the active learning process that enables learners have the opportunity to commit internalization and indicate in the appropriate behavior. f. Provide assistance to learners who have difficulty for the value of internalization and to indicate in everyday behavior.
