INTRODUCTION
In this era of globalization, Indonesia needs quality human resources to support a good development process. Education essentially is about helping students to become complete human beings and also have good character. To make students have character, it must be managed well so that creativity can develop well in accordance with the expected goals (Fadillah et al., 2022).
School is an educational institution for studying. Educational institutions that aim to change individual behavior for the better by interacting with the surrounding environment.
Education is a process that contains various kinds of activities that are suitable for individuals for their social life and helps to transmit customs and culture as well as social institutions from generation to generation (Suniti, 2014). Therefore, education not only aims to develop students' intellectual potential and skills, but must have good ethical and moral values in living life. From this, there is a need for character education to develop students' morals in forming good and religious personalities in order to advance the nation's moral ethical values.
In terms of education, this requires special attention by all parties, parents and society, regarding the social issues of children and adolescents. With the advancement of science and technology, it will have an impact on the social behavior of teenagers in developing countries, including Indonesia, which is largely anticipated.
Indonesia is a country that always strives to perfect its education system, always updating various policies and legislation on its national education system. This is done so that education is truly able to become an agent of renewal and progress for the nation and state based on the principle of balance between physical and spiritual aspects, physical material and spiritual material aspects, so that every citizen obtains physical and spiritual well-being.
Ideal education is education that combines intellectual, emotional and spiritual. So, education is not only focused on students, but good examples are also first given to those who educate, in this case what is meant is the teaching staff, namely teachers (Maharani & Syarif, 2022). However, the reality of education in Indonesia is that there are still many educational values that educational institutions are unable to transform. This can be seen from students cheating on exams, being lazy during lessons, brawls between students, being caught in drug cases, being involved in promiscuity, low concern for others, poor manners starting to be abandoned and reduced respect for parents, especially for one person. Teacher. This example is a real case and happens a lot to the younger generation. Another case that tarnishes the image of Indonesian education is student gangs and motorbike gangs which are very disturbing to society (Toyyibudin, 2022).
All the negative behavior carried out among students above is evidence of the fragility of character that is not yet good, especially one's morals. This happens because character development in formal education is not optimal and informal environmental conditions are not supportive. Character education has recently been discussed more and more among Indonesian society. The attitudes and behavior of the Indonesian people and nation now tend to ignore the noble values that have long been upheld in their daily attitudes and behavior. Noble character values, such as honesty, politeness, togetherness and religion, are little by little starting to be replaced by foreign culture so that these character values are no longer considered important (Nurmadiah, 2018).
Based on the results of the researcher's observations in the field, the researcher saw that the problem that occurred at MA Subulussalam was that the implementation of character education management in moral development was not yet optimal. This was expressed by the head of the madrasah that in implementing character education, not only the school has a role, but it requires the role of all elements. To help implement character education, the government, community, parents, teachers and students must work together in implementing character education, so that the results of character education can be embedded in students.
As the nation's next generation, students are expected to be able to optimize all their natural potential to carry out revolutionaries for the nation's future progress. Therefore, education is not only aimed at developing the intellectual potential and skills of students in every learning process, but also must be able to instill good ethical and moral values in navigating an increasingly complex life (Isnaini, 2021). The researcher's next observations saw that students' character education was starting to decline, this was due to advances in technology so that our students were more likely to follow western character trends, this of course would feel very different from the character values that this nation holds firmly. Therefore, there must be supervision and provide an understanding of morals so that our students can implement character and moral values in social life in our environment.
The position of morals in human life is very important, both as individuals and in society in the nation and state. Morals are the scope of morality or good behavior for each individual in carrying out their activities so that they can be safe in this world and the afterlife (Kosim & Baidi, 2023). Thus, it is not an exaggeration to say that the main mission of Muhammad's apostolate. is to perfect noble morals, and history records that the supporting factors for the success of the prophet's preaching include the support of noble morals, so that Allah swt. himself praised the noble character of the Prophet Muhammad.
Allah SWT has placed in the personality of the Prophet Muhammad SAW a perfect image of Islamic character, so that he becomes an example for the next generation of people in the perfection of morals and the universality of His greatness. Teachers are used as a foundation and have great trust in changing and improving the quality of students. Worship is a way of life that covers all aspects of life and everything humans do in devoting themselves to Allah SWT. Without worship, humans cannot be said to be fully human, but are said to be creatures whose rank is equal to animals. Therefore, in order to become a perfect human being in formal education, the values of worship are inoculated and internalized (Hidayat, 2016).
Another solution to overcome the problem above is to formulate Islamic character education, which is education that is carried out sourced from and based on Islamic teachings, namely the Al-Qur'an and Hadith. These two sources acknowledge that in humans there is a natural potential with which humans develop towards fulfilling the duties of the caliphate and serving the Creator. Apart from that, Islam empowers reason as a very important potential for the development of science. In its operations, humans must be able to create conditions for the implementation of educational activities.
Character comes from Greek which means to mark and focuses on how to apply good values in real actions or daily behavior. Character education is a system of instilling character values in students which includes the components of awareness, understanding, concern and high commitment to implementing these values (Musfah, 2011). In order to realize the expected character formation, it is necessary to have management to manage character education in the appropriate domain, especially for students who are the objects of instilling character values in everyday life so that students with character are formed.
From an Islamic management point of view, it is termed using the word al-tadbir (management). This word is a derivation of the word dabbara (to organize) (Juhji et al., 2020). Management is the art of managing, managing an organization to achieve certain goals by using management functions, namely planning, organizing, actuating and controlling (Supiani et al., 2022). Character education in Islam can be understood as an effort to instill intelligence in students in thinking, behaving and behaving in accordance with the noble values that constitute their identity, manifested in interactions with God, themselves, each other and their environment as manifestations of servants and caliphs. Allah SWT (Sakdiyah, 2018).
Therefore, Islamic religious education really needs to be instilled in us from an early age. Habits and role models from parents, as well as training must be given to children from an early age and at school age.
The implementation of character education actually involves all components of education, starting from the government as the policy maker for the national education system, managerial school principals, teacher competency, infrastructure, curriculum and support from the community (Rahman & Wassalwa, 2019). However, the most influential factor is the teacher. Teachers must work hard to develop students into human beings with morals and character. It is hoped that teachers, with their personality competence, can implement character education at MA Subulussalam Kresek Tangerang, so that they become individuals who are faithful and devout and have noble character.
The implementation in question is how character education is planned, implemented and controlled in educational activities in schools adequately, which includes the values that need to be instilled, curriculum content, learning, assessment, educators and education staff, and other related components.
Based on the results of observations by researchers at MA Subulussalam, to improve the
quality of students in the field of character education, Islamic education is used as one of the efforts to achieve this, through Islamic religious learning, the emphasis on moral education is expected to be able to build Islamic values so that they are able to implement the values of akhlakul karimah. and realizing attitudes and behavior in life starts from the student's personal self and is expected to continue into the student's social environment.
Facing these global conditions, children and teenagers in their lives need to be guided and develop their morals so that they can act as the younger generation (Taufik & Ulum, 2022). This is where, of course, Islamic religious education is very important to instill in children, both in the family environment, in the school environment and in the community environment.
From the description above, this encourages researchers to conduct research related to the implementation of character education management in developing students' morals which is carried out at MA Subulussalam Kresek Tangerang.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION
RESULT
Character Education Management Planning Concept in Coaching Students' Morals
At Madrasah Aliyah (MA) Subulussalam Jayanti Tangerang, the character education planning process begins at the beginning of the new academic year by involving all parties responsible for developing students' character. With the results of the meeting discussing the planning of character values that will be implemented in the school, it can be concluded that this meeting will create a sense of shared responsibility to shape the character of students. Both the school community, in this case the principal, teachers and employees, as well as the government and the community, are involved in developing the character values at the Madrasah Aliyah (MA) Subulussalam Jayanti Tangerang school.
The development of character education in schools is integrated through the implementation of classroom learning, school culture and self-development. MA Subulussalam Jayanti Tangerang has made several efforts to instill character values through the school's vision and mission and programs, role models, slogans around the school environment, and extracurricular activities that develop character values.
The forms of violations with sanctions applied at MA Subulussalam Jayanti Tangerang are based on the rules that have been formulated together, namely warnings, summons from parents, and suspension of students who violate the rules. In order to create conducive learning activities, the school enforces various rules and regulations at school, and every student is required to behave in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations. Order and discipline in school are very important. This is because there are often disciplinary violations committed by students. Discipline and order need to be regulated by an order called school rules.
In general, the goal to be achieved through the implementation of school discipline and rules is the implementation of the curriculum well which supports improving the quality of education in schools. Meanwhile, the specific goals are: a) So that school principals can create an exciting work atmosphere for all school members, b) So that teachers can carry out the teaching and learning process as optimally as possible by utilizing all available resources at the school, c) To create close cooperation between the school and parents and the school and the community to carry out educational tasks, d) So that students have strong, disciplined and independent personalities and have respect for schools, teachers and parents.
Thus, the formation of character in schools is a joint responsibility of all parties, including the regional government, in this case the sub-district head, police chief, committee, parents/guardians of students and all components in the school institution (principal, teachers, staff, guards. school, and school boys) participate in the formation of students' character.
Organizing Character Education Management in the Moral Coaching of Students
The key to success in achieving the goals of organizing management at Madrasah Aliyah Subulussalam Tangerang is coordination. Likewise, character education must have good coordination between the school, the government and the community, in this case the parents/guardians of students, so that character education can be implemented at MA Subulussalam Tangerang, with the involvement of all parties to be responsible and support character education. Therefore, character education at MA Subulussalam Tangerang will be realized.
Apart from that, the determination of the character education policy at Madrasah Aliyah Subulussalam Tangerang as determined by the previous principal is based on various Islamic rules. Since starting the school, he has separated study rooms for male and female students. In educating his students he prioritizes religious-based character development. Because, the goal of education is to deliver educators and students safely in this world and the hereafter.
Based on observations, MA Subulussalam also applies a points system. This means that each student is given 100 points, if they violate they will be deducted. If you run out of points, you will be expelled from school. Students who are caught not praying, fighting, drinking alcohol, gambling, and the like, will be deducted 100 points. Some of these point rules also apply outside of school. If a student is caught stealing something belonging to a resident and is immediately expelled from school.
This does not allow for objections, because it has been decided and agreed upon by the parents of the students previously in the meeting. On the other hand, a system of adding points is also implemented for students who excel, such as those who come quickly to school and sweep the mosque. In exploring the potential for goodness in students, habits are applied such as arriving on time, performing midday prayers in congregation, reciting the Koran before starting learning and midday prayers for Muslims.
Implementation of Character Education Management in the Moral Coaching of Students
The character education program at MA Subulussalam Tangerang can be implemented in a series of activities in the school environment both inside the classroom and outside the classroom, namely 1) reading the Al-Qur'an before starting class learning, 2) praying in congregation and dhuha every morning, 3) integrating character education in all subjects, 4) Implementation activity is a movement carried out by the leadership to members of the
organization so that it can create a sense of motivation that can support personnel to be able to carry out their duties well. If it is related to implementing character-based education, then implementation in this context means a movement carried out by the school principal/ teachers/staff through a coaching model for students to carry out character-based educational activities through moral development by creating motivation for students, for example by giving awards to students who not only excel academically, but also to students who excel in non- achievement academics as well as students who are diligent, always maintain neatness and istiqomah.
Based on field findings regarding character education at MA Subulussalam, it is the habit of reading the Al-Qur'an before starting learning. There is also Rohis (Islamic Spiritual) guidance, namely guidance to deepen and strengthen religious teachings which includes teaching religious knowledge, da'wah, and various Islamic knowledge after completing congregational prayer activities. Rohis' aim is to help develop the religious knowledge taught in schools. With Rohis, it educates students to know God through worship and nature (tadabur alam).
Furthermore, subject teachers who encounter problems in building their character report to the homeroom teacher as the parents of students at school who are responsible for building their character. If the homeroom teacher is unable, then the guidance and counseling teacher will handle it based on the teacher's report. Thus, in developing the character of students, there is good cooperation between the homeroom teacher and the guidance and counseling teacher in supervising character development.
Based on the findings above, MA Subulussalam Tangerang implements character education by involving all elements, both the school community itself and outside the school community but is responsible for character education in this case, such as parents of students and stakeholders.
Controlling Character Education Management in the Moral Coaching of Students
Control of character education management at MA Subulussalam is carried out every day by all teachers. Character control does not take the form of grades but takes the form of supervision or observation carried out by teachers every day. The results of reports or notes on student development as a form of evaluation of character education. From the results of the report, it can be seen the development of character pillars that have been achieved and those that have not been achieved, so that teachers know what actions they must take. Character education is a continuous effort to instill good values according to religion, customs, culture, nation and state. Likewise, the assessment requires a process and time in development, so that you know what good values have been achieved and what have not been achieved.
To measure the level of success in implementing character education in detail, it is carried out through various control programs by comparing initial conditions with achievements within a certain time. The control is carried out as follow.
Develop various assessment instruments
For the sustainability of the implementation of character education, it is necessary to assess success using indicators in the form of the behavior of all school members (students). This assessment is carried out continuously through various strategies according to the characteristics of students. Assessment instruments can be in the form of observation sheets by all teachers, attitude scale sheets, portfolio sheets, checklist sheets and interview guide sheets. The findings at MA Subulussalam showed that the instruments used were in the learning implementation plan (RPP) rubric. Apart from that, there were also observations made by all teachers. This is in accordance with the duties of a teacher as an instructor (instructional) who is tasked with planning teaching programs and implementing programs that have been prepared as well as carrying out assessments after the program has been carried out, of course the program prepared is adjusted to the character values that have been agreed upon.
24 hour control for students
The information obtained from various assessment techniques is then analyzed by the teacher to obtain an overview of the student's character. Is it good character or bad character? For good characters, there is appreciation to provide motivation, while bad characters need to be given advice and explanations to avoid them because they have a bad impact on both themselves and others. Therefore, MA Subulussalam Tangerang carries out 24 hour monitoring of students as a form of attention.
Character education assessment program for students
Based on the results of the researcher's observations in the character education assessment program for students every week, by announcing during the flag ceremony, the classes that received awards for both discipline and class cleanliness. The aim is to trigger students' awareness to discipline themselves.
Assessments are also held every week and month with meetings held to discuss the development of students' character and what steps will be taken to overcome problems arising from behavior that is considered contrary to the rules and regulations that have been established by various parties, both from schools, parents of students, sub-district heads, police chiefs and school committees.
Follow Up
Based on findings in the field, violations of the rules that have been determined take several steps depending on the level of the violation. Imposing sanctions or punishment is the last resort. If after using other methods such as advice, motivation, and encouragement to change, it is no longer effective in directing and educating students.
Control is a fundamental process that is very necessary in an organization. The role of control also determines whether a plan is good or bad, therefore it must be carried out as well as possible. Control can be interpreted as the process of measuring and assessing the level of management of personnel performance and the level of efficiency in the use of work facilities in contributing to the achievement of organizational goals. The aim of control is to prevent errors, create a transparent atmosphere, and improve organizational performance (Maisaro et al., 2018).
Thus, it can be concluded that character education assessments must be carried out continuously to determine the development of students' character in accordance with religious, cultural, national and state values. All human actions or actions, whatever their form, are essentially intended to achieve happiness, whereas achieving happiness according to the Islamic moral or moral system can be achieved by obeying Allah's commands, namely by avoiding all His prohibitions and carrying out all His commands
