INTRODUCTION Education holds a strategic role in shaping students who are not only intellectually capable, but also possess noble character and strong spirituality. In this regard, teachers play the most crucial role as mentors, responsible for transferring worldly knowledge as well as instilling spiritual values and shaping the moral character of their students. Teachers serve as role models, not only providing knowledge but also guiding students to understand the meaning of life, directing them toward goodness, and embedding religious values as the foundation for virtuous living (Masripah et al. , 2. In Islam, education is not limited to the teaching of knowledge but also encompasses the development of morals, faith, and piety. One of the primary sources referenced in Islamic education is the Qur'an. It contains lessons on God's greatness, the purpose of human life, and humanity's responsibilities as servants and stewards on Earth (Muchlinawati, 2. Surah Yasin, verses 77-83, is an essential section of the Qur'an that teaches these educational values. These verses emphasize God's omnipotence as the Creator, remind 11 |Hayail. Syahbuddin.

Through understanding these verses, students can be encouraged to reflect on the essence of life, strengthen their faith, and develop character oriented toward servitude to God. Teachers are encouraged to use these verses as guidance in nurturing students, not only in intellectual development but also in character and Therefore, educators have a crucial duty to explore the values contained in Surah Yasin, verses 77-83, and integrate Qur'an-based moral and spiritual education into the teaching process. The current state of education today often reveals the poor behavior of students towards their teachers and peers. Instances of bullying, shouting, frontal defiance, neglect, and laziness in class while teachers are explaining have become common. extreme cases, students have physically harmed teachers or reported them to their parents, leading to criminal consequences, including teachers being arrested and imprisoned (Aryati, 2. (Febrianto & Salikhah, 2. Many students are distracted by activities that deviate from their ultimate purpose in life, which is to worship Allah, as well as from the purpose of learning. They lack intention and determination to secure their future and fail to understand the meaning of their creation. As a result, they neglect to perform prayers, waste time on unproductive activities, and act rebelliously towards parents and teachers. While there are many factors contributing to students' negligenceAisuch as technological advancements and the widespread influence of platforms like TikTok that indirectly serve as role models for childrenAos behavior (Apriliyanti Muzayanati et al. Aithe lack of teachers' engagement in studying Qur'anic verses related to education, internalizing these values, and subsequently transferring them in school exacerbates the issue. This neglect reinforces students' disregard for building noble character, becoming virtuous individuals, and cultivating a love for Allah and learning. studentAos character is shaped when a teacher embodies and demonstrates Islamic A teacher with good character, or what is referred to as an Islamic teacher personality, can serve as a role model for their students. Therefore, it is crucial for 12 |Hayail. Syahbuddin. The Role Of Teachers In Transferring Educational . Genderang Asa: Journal of Primary Education Vol. 6 No. January-June 2025 | p. teachers to internalize the values contained in the Qur'an and transfer these values to students (MaAoarif, 2. during the teaching and learning process.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION The Importance of the Teacher's Role in Teaching Educational Values Thomas Lickona . , a pioneer of character education in America, once stated that a nation would face decline and destruction when it experiences a deterioration in Therefore, character must be consistently developed to become stronger and In the effort to build a better generation, education is considered the path to character building. The goals of education are often formulated ideally, sometimes exceeding the universal meaning of the process, making it crucial to introduce character to students, including college students (Nurdin & Rahmadani, 2. In the modern era, education is no longer just about transferring knowledge but also encompasses character building and moral values. Teachers, as central figures in the education system, play a crucial role in this process. They are not merely conveyors of lesson materials but also mentors who instill essential values such as honesty, responsibility, cooperation, and tolerance in students. Furthermore. Nisa states that teachers are significant figures in schools whose behavior can be trusted and emulated. Besides being educators, teachers also act as advisors and even as parents whose presence is eagerly awaited due to their close bond with students. This closeness allows teachers to serve as role models for their students in both moral and spiritual aspec (Afifah Khoirun Nisa, 2. Thus, teachers play a vital role in imparting educational values to shape individuals who are intellectually excellent, morally upright, and spiritually strong. Integrating Islamic Values into Learning Process Qur'anic values, such as those found in Surah Yasin, can be embedded into diverse subject areas by applying a holistic educational model that addresses both cognitive and spiritual development. For example, in Arabic language and literature classes, educators can incorporate Qur'anic passages not only to enhance studentsAo linguistic abilities but also to explore the deeper messages within the verses. Similarly, narratives from the Qur'an that offer inspiration may serve as rich material in history classes, offering moral and historical insights that can be related to broader historical 14 |Hayail.

According to Miller . in The Holistic Curriculum, holistic education seeks to connect students with their surroundings, helping them understand the relationship between knowledge and their life experiences. This allows students to develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and awareness and empathy toward others. This is crucial in preparing them to face the complexities and dynamics of modern life . alamah, 2.

Palmer . , in The Courage to Teach, emphasizes that good teaching not only fills students' minds with information but also touches their hearts and inspires their spirits (Kuliah, 2. By teaching spiritual values, students can develop a strong sense of social and moral responsibility. This approach also helps them better cope with stress and pressure and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Thus, holistic education that encompasses intellectual, emotional, and spiritual dimensions produces individuals who are not only academically intelligent but also moral and empathetic. To achieve this, teachers are expected to integrate the values contained in the Qur'an into learning so that holistic education can be implemented. Meanwhile. Syahrizal's research suggests that the values contained in the Qur'an can be integrated into the Kurikulum Merdeka by considering students' cultural contexts and needs, although he acknowledges that many teachers still require training and support to understand how to integrate Qur'anic values into the curriculum. He argues that it is crucial for educational institutions to provide adequate training for teachers to effectively implement the curriculum. Despite the challenges in its implementation, with 15 |Hayail. Syahbuddin. The Role Of Teachers In Transferring Educational .
