Good character or attitude is one of the aim of national education in Indonesia. Good character education in Islamic perspective is the character (moral) education based on Islamic faith and belief to achieve the status of Insân Kâmil (whole human being). Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, since 1986, has been implementing Religious Education (including Islam) more seriously than other universities. However, concerning the quality of the students' character or behaviors and the learning model that is more effective to improve students' moral, there has not been any study with a more comprehensive roadmap. An-Nahlawi (Egyptian Islamic Education Professor) develops a conceptual model of Quran-based learning, consisted of seven areas. Then, based on the best practice of SMA and STT Pomosda, it is found that sufism 'core' character-based learning model is effective to improve students' religiosity and good character (moral) (Rahmat, 2010). The sufism 'core' character-based Quranic Stories learning model is proven to be more effective to improve UPI students' moral, based on the model's testing (Rahmat, et. al., 2013). Therefore, in this second stage of the study, the learning model is developed further (through model validation). The research instruments are inventories to measure the quality of students' moral (character) and the strength of students' sufism 'core' character. Each inventory consists of 40 items. The data is processed quantitatively (through statistical descriptive and inferential) and qualitatively. The conclusions of this study are: first, the quality of students' moral and behaviors after the learning (8 sessions) improves. The improvement on their knowledge of moral and good characters is very high. Second, the strength of students' sufism 'core' characters after the learning (8 sessions) increases. The improvement on their knowledge of sufism 'core' characters is very high. Third, the sufism 'core' character-based Quranic Stories learning model is proven to be effective in improving students' moral and character. This study recommends that the learning model based on sufism 'core' characters need to be implemented in Islamic Education lessons to improve students' moral and good character. © Serials Publications.
