This study aims to explore the effectiveness of teacher training in Islamic contexts for enhancing moral and ethical education. The research examines the preparedness of teachers, the challenges they face, and the alignment of the curriculum with Islamic moral principles. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study employed surveys and classroom observations across 10 Islamic schools to gather data on teacher training, curriculum content, and classroom implementation of moral education. The findings reveal that while a majority of teachers feel moderately prepared to teach Islamic moral values, many report a lack of practical training and institutional support. Cultural barriers and time constraints were identified as key challenges in effectively teaching moral education. Furthermore, only 50% of the curriculum explicitly incorporated moral and ethical teachings, with a greater focus on religious rituals. The study recommends improvements in teacher training programs, curriculum reform, and better institutional support to enhance the teaching of moral and ethical education in Islamic schools.References
