INTRODUCTION
Character education is a teaching program in schools which aims to develop students' character or behavior by living up to the values and beliefs of society as a moral force in their lives through honesty, trustworthiness, discipline and cooperation.(Zuriah, 2008) Characteristics are a solution for a nation's education which is starting to degrade morally.Good character can be achieved through a process of internalization of what one knows, which takes time so that good character is formed in human beings.(Sutrisno et al., 2016) in achieving the goal of developing good character, schools need to form a character program and internalize it in co-curricular, intra-curricular and extracurricular areas.
Character education is easy to teach, but most children cannot apply it well.The implementation of good manners is influenced by children's low awareness of creating a conducive atmosphere during the learning process.This low awareness is influenced by parents who are too busy with their respective jobs so they do not guide their children enough, even though more learning time is done at home than at school.Awareness created through guidance and examples from parents when children are at home will make them more understanding and aware of the good things that must be done.In providing direction, parents have different ways to find out the attitudes and behavior of each child (Veni et al., 2020).
SMP Islam Al Madinah, as an Islamic educational institution, has the responsibility to develop moral and ethical values through a character program.Since 2019, the school has had a policy of ethical visits involving all educators and education staff.Evaluation of the character program at SMP Islam Al Madinah is very important to determine the effectiveness of the program in developing moral and ethical values among students.This evaluation can also help identify deficiencies and errors in the character program, so that better improvements and development can be made.
To achieve these functions and goals, teachers and schools cannot run alone but need support from various parties, including families.Communication between teachers and parents is very important in this context.Therefore, education must be a shared responsibility between society, schools and families.One school program that aims to improve communication between teachers and parents in shaping student character is the Home Visit program (C. Pattarro, 2016).This program is a home visit activity which aims to collect information about student activities at home in order to solve student problems at school (W.Wardono, 2015).
Evaluation research is a scientific method carried out to obtain data aimed at finding out the effectiveness of projects, policies and programs where later the research results can be used as material for consideration to improve quality starting from the formulation, implementation and results of projects, policies and programs (Sugiyono, 2015) CIPP is a comprehensive framework for guiding formative and summative evaluation of projects, programs, individuals, products, institutions, and systems (Stufflebeam, 2003).So the evaluation of the character visit program at SMP Islam Al Madinah was carried out using the CIPP model as a comprehensive evaluation model so that it could provide assessments and recommendations for the character visit program at SMP Islam Al Madinah.
