Abstract

This article describes the planning, implementation, and evaluation of an Islamic Boarding School (Pondok Ramadhan) program conducted by students of the Islamic Education Department (PAI) at Universitas Sunan Giri (UNSURI) Surabaya in SMAN 20 Surabaya on February 23–26, 2026. The program aimed to strengthen Islamic character formation and digital awareness among 700 high school students through two thematic sessions: "Islamic Character Adolescents: Smart, Polite, and Achiever" and "Future Threats for Youth." Using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, activities were carried out across two venues—the school mosque and auditorium—simultaneously. Evaluation was conducted through a post-test and a five-point Likert perception questionnaire completed by all 700 participants. Results showed that 90.0% of participants achieved good to excellent scores on the post-test, with a mean score of 84.6. The average level of agreement across all attitude indicators reached 92.6%, reflecting significant positive changes in participants’ understanding and commitment to Islamic values. The program demonstrates that a well-structured school-based PKM with interactive delivery methods can effectively foster Islamic character among adolescents in public schools with heterogeneous religious backgrounds.
