Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how the Pondok Ramadhan program influences the spiritual and social growth of students at SD Negeri 2 Kori. This program is an intensive activity during the month of Ramadhan, focusing on enhancing social and religious values. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through focus group discussions, active observations, and interviews with students, teachers, and parents. The findings show that understanding of religious values, discipline in worship, and the ability to read and understand the Qur'an have improved. Social aspects show increased empathy, cooperation, and care for others. Pondok Ramadhan program not only offers religious education but also helps instill positive character traits in the community. This study can assist in developing a religious-based character education model in elementary   schools.
