“…One of the efforts that can be made to improve education is to build a culture of noble character among students (Bair 2009;Carr 2006;Elina 2008;Wartini, 2016;Wibowo 2022). Noble moral culture can be interpreted as a quality of life (Berkowitz and Hoppe 2009;Goldsmith-Conley 1999;Lapsley and Woodbury 2016;Metcalfe and Moulin-Stożek 2021) that grows and develops based on the spirit and noble moral values that adorn human attitudes and behavior in the service of daily life (Fajrussalam and Hasanah, 2018;Sudrajat, 2011).…”

The morality of students in the era of modernity has been reduced so sharply. The phenomenon of juvenile delinquency is mushrooming, unbridled promiscuity, ethics that are far from the customs of manners, weak speech, lack of discipline and work ethic are of little concern to Muslim intellectuals to solve the problematic. It is necessary to formulate the right learning steps, in order to provide alternative solutions in directing student activities in a more positive direction. This study aims to formulate learning steps through the Method of Al-Ishlah Wa At-Tagyir by Sholeh Sulthan, in order to realize individual diversity. By using a qualitative approach and literature review method. The results of this study show that the formulation of learning steps through the Al-Ishlah Wa At-Tagyir method is divided into two stages, namely the pre-instructional stage and the instructional stage. The pre-instructional stage includes sky management, positive paradigms, earth management and gradual learning. While the instructional stage includes providing motivation, observation- analysis- solutive, learning with optimal effort, and prevention. The formulation of learning steps through the Method of Al-Ishlah Wa At-Tagyir is directed towards achieving better individual serendipity.

“…Community action and activism are crucial components of active, engaged citizenship (Blevins et al, 2016, 2018). However, civics does not always recognize some forms of work or action as activism (Bair, 2009; Preston-Grimes, 2007; Sabzalian, 2019b; Salinas et al, 2016; Vickery, 2016). In economics, activism, particularly that performed by Black women, is more often coded as political rather than economic (Banks, 2020).…”

The article investigates the contentious relationship between economics and social studies and considers the extent to which the dominant narratives and methodological approaches in economics are compatible with ambitious views of equity in civics education. Tensions between social studies and economics are described. These include differing views on the role of government, democracy, and equality, as well as economics' "imperious mindset" (Heilbroner, 1991, p. 463). After identifying these tensions, the article devotes significant space to recent scholarship that can bridge the civics-economics divide and introduce the kind of equity work being called for in social studies education.

“…Nevertheless, some racial minorities decided to culturally appropriate majoritarian character development practices as a method for contesting racial typecasts (Bair, 2009). Mary McCloud Bethune and Nannie Helen Burroughs approached character development by accentuating innocence, modesty, piety, purity, and domesticity--deemed the ideal.…”

“…These African American women character educationists acknowledged that a path to racial uplift was to make the design of inferiority defenseless and to confront the stereotypes by which African Americans, in particularly women were described. In this apartheid, racist environment Bethune and Burroughs articulated character in terms of decorum respectable conduct than as a core moral compass (Bair 2009;Johnson & Hinton 2018).…”

This essay puts forward a theoretical argument in support of culturally consonant character education. Character education supports the moral and civic development of youth in the United States (US), and it remains popular with all stakeholders. Majority group members often are unmindful of the significance and span of cultural distinctiveness of minorities. Rather, majority group members consciously or unconsciously advocate assimilation and adherence to universal virtues, chiefly in the field of character education. Cultural-historical conditions, as features of the moral development process, tone the agency and negotiation of character education. To that end, this essay employs Charles Mills’ The Racial Contract (1998) to not only account for the moralities of exclusion, but put forward a character education philosophy that accounts for cultural distinctiveness.
