Communication serves as the foundational element of all human interactions, playing a pivotal role across social, cultural, political, and educational domains. Within family and school contexts, effective communication necessitates strategic approaches, particularly two-way communication, supported by modalities such as interpersonal, group, and mass communication. A critical dimension of achieving educational objectives lies in moral character formation, wherein communication functions as a key facilitator. This study examines the application of two-way communication strategies, their specific forms, and the barriers encountered in fostering students' moral development. Employing a qualitative research design, the investigation reveals that two-way communication is operationalized through an integrated framework comprising character education, religious and ethical instruction, and social activities. The forms of two-way communication encompass vertical (teacher-student), horizontal (peer-to-peer), and diagonal (cross-level, e.g., teacher-parent-student) interactions. Key inhibiting factors include external environmental influences, limited parental awareness and involvement, adverse effects of media and technology, and socioeconomic or social instability. These findings underscore the transformative potential of dialogic, reciprocal communication in moral education while highlighting the need for strengthened home-school collaboration and protective mechanisms against external value conflicts to enhance moral internalization in educational settings.
