This research stems from the need for a learning model that not only emphasizes cognitive aspects but also integrates affective, moral, and spiritual dimensions holistically. This study aims to examine the personalized learning model through the Movement Community in Komunitas Musisi Mengaji (Komuji) to strengthen character education within values- and community-based education. The research employed a qualitative, phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation of community activities, and were then analyzed thematically to explore the meaning of the subjects' learning experiences. The results show that Komuji functions as a personalized, community-based learning space in which character values such as integrity, empathy, responsibility, discipline, and spirituality are internalized through collaborative activities, including mentoring, reflection on values, and social projects. The learning process is reflective, relational, and existential, fostering students' self-awareness and intrinsic motivation for moral behavior. This research contributes to the development of the Community-Based Personalized Character Learning (CBPCL) model, which emphasizes that personalized learning can be achieved collectively through meaningful community interactions and offers practical implications for educators and curriculum developers in designing learning strategies that are contextual, humanistic, and rooted in life values.
Abstrak
Penelitian ini berangkat dari kebutuhan akan model pembelajaran yang tidak hanya menekankan aspek kognitif, tetapi juga mengintegrasikan dimensi afektif, moral, dan spiritual secara holistik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji model personalisasi pembelajaran melalui Movement Community di Komunitas Musisi Mengaji (Komuji) sebagai upaya penguatan pendidikan karakter dalam konteks pendidikan berbasis nilai dan komunitas. Pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan metode fenomenologi. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan dokumentasi kegiatan komunitas, kemudian dianalisis secara tematik untuk menggali makna pengalaman belajar yang dialami subjek. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Komuji berfungsi sebagai ruang personalisasi pembelajaran berbasis komunitas, di mana nilai-nilai karakter seperti integritas, empati, tanggung jawab, disiplin, dan spiritualitas diinternalisasikan melalui aktivitas kolaboratif seperti mentoring, refleksi nilai, dan proyek sosial. Proses pembelajaran yang terjadi bersifat reflektif, relasional, dan eksistensial, membentuk kesadaran diri serta motivasi intrinsik siswa untuk berperilaku moral. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan model Community-Based Personalized Character Learning (CBPCL) yang menegaskan bahwa personalisasi pembelajaran dapat diwujudkan secara kolektif melalui interaksi komunitas bernilai, sekaligus memberikan implikasi praktis bagi pendidik dan pengembang kurikulum dalam merancang strategi pembelajaran yang kontekstual, humanistik, dan berakar pada nilai-nilai kehidupan.
