The research uses a mix of qualitative data from interviews and observations, combined with quantitative data from surveys and assessments. This approach offers a well-rounded understanding of how PBL affects character growth while learning Arabic.The study's results highlight the development of various important student traits due to PBL, including confidence, responsibility, creativity, hard work, discipline, independence, curiosity, communication skills, honesty, leadership, religious values, respect, and more. These findings are valuable for educators, policymakers, and researchers looking to enrich character education within Arabic language learning.Understanding how PBL cultivates essential character traits allows educators to tailor their teaching methods, promoting not only language proficiency but also instilling strong moral values. This holistic approach equips students with the skills and virtues they need to succeed in a diverse and interconnected world.
