The low level of social care and tolerance in elementary school students is a challenge in implementing character education during the digital era. This study aims to analyze the effect of using educational wall comic media on improving the character of social care and tolerance of elementary school students. The research method used was a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design, involving 86 students from two Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, divided into experimental and control groups. The data collection instrument was a social care and tolerance character questionnaire, analyzed using the N-Gain and ANCOVA tests. The results showed that the experimental group experienced an increase in social care (N-Gain = 0.4192) and tolerance (N-Gain = 0.4778) in the moderate category, while the control group only showed an increase in the low category. The ANCOVA test showed significant results (p < 0.05), which indicated that the improvement in character was due to the treatment in the form of educational wall comics. Wall comic media is effective in shaping students' characters through a contextual and interesting visual-narrative approach.

The discourse on strengthening Islamic character at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) level faces a major challenge in the form of methodological bias in internalizing the values of religious moderation. This study aims to analyze the publication trends of scientific articles regarding religious moderation in elementary-age children and to formulate effective implementation strategies in madrasahs. The research method used is a Systematic Literature Review, collecting data from 15 primary, relevant, and updated scientific journal articles published between 2020 and 2026. The research findings reveal pedagogical enforcement in the field, where the distributed materials on religious moderation are still doctrinally abstract, thereby bypassing the concrete operational cognitive development phase of children. As a solution, this study successfully synthesizes the Child-Friendly Integration Model (MIRA), which divides implementation into three stages: concrete cognition, affection habituation, and the P5-PPRA project. The contribution of this paper to the discipline of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teacher Education (PGMI) is the repositioning of the old, rigid paradigm toward a new model based on a holistic madrasah cultural ecosystem. In conclusion, the results of this study are highly important as a blueprint for educational practitioners in designing applicable Islamic moral learning frameworks that are gentle on the psychology of elementary-age children.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran bimbingan kelompok dalam membentuk kesadaran dan pengendalian emosi pada siswa tunanetra di SLB PKK Sumberejo Bojonegoro. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Subjek penelitian berjumlah siswa tunanetra (rentang usia 9–12 tahun; kelas 3–6 SD) yang terdiri dari kategori Total Blind dan Low Vision, serta 2 guru bimbingan sebagai pelaksana layanan. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model analisis interaktif. Intervensi dilakukan dengan media kartu "Mengenal Emosi" yang dimodifikasi khusus menggunakan huruf Braille dan simbol emosi taktil (timbul) agar dapat diidentifikasi secara mandiri melalui sentuhan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan media tersebut mampu menjembatani hambatan sensorik visual, sehingga secara signifikan meningkatkan kesadaran emosi siswa, yang ditandai dengan kemampuan mengenali jenis emosi, memahami penyebabnya, serta mengungkapkan perasaan secara lebih terbuka. Selain itu, terjadi peningkatan pada aspek pengendalian emosi, seperti kemampuan melakukan modulasi respons dan merespons situasi secara reflektif. Dinamika kelompok berperan penting sebagai ruang kompensasi sosial yang memfasilitasi dukungan emosional dan komunikasi yang inklusif antarteman sebaya. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah bahwa bimbingan kelompok berbasis media taktil efektif dalam mengembangkan kemampuan sosial-emosional, khususnya kesadaran dan pengendalian emosi pada siswa tunanetra.
