Abstract
ENGLISH: Evaluation of the Implementation of the Love Curriculum in Shaping Students' Relational Character at State Islamic High Schools: The CIPP Evaluation Model
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Love Curriculum in shaping students' relational character in Islamic boarding school-based education, particularly in fostering empathy, cooperation, and social adaptation skills among students in the community. Method: This study uses a qualitative approach with the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, including the pesantren activity schedule and religious learning programs. Results: The Love Curriculum is highly relevant to the objectives of Islamic character education. The implementation of this curriculum is effective in fostering discipline, empathy, and cooperation among students through various coaching activities, such as tahfidzul Qur'an, ta'limul muta'allim, and muhadloroh. Conclusion: The formation of students' relational character is not sufficient through spiritual guidance and internal discipline in Islamic boarding schools alone, but requires continuous social learning that involves schools, families, and communities collaboratively. Contribution: This study contributes theoretically by emphasizing relational character as an important indicator of the success of Islamic character education.

Kesimpulan: Pembentukan karakter relasional siswa tidak cukup hanya melalui pembinaan spiritual dan disiplin internal pesantren, tetapi memerlukan kesinambungan pembelajaran sosial yang melibatkan sekolah, keluarga, dan masyarakat secara kolaboratif. Kontribusi: Penelitian ini berkontribusi secara teoretis dengan menegaskan karakter relasional sebagai indikator penting keberhasilan pendidikan karakter Islam.
