IMPLEMENTASI PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER SEBAGAI UPAYA MEMBENTUK KEDISIPLINAN SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR
Abstract
Character education is a fundamental aspect of developing students’ personality and positive behavior at the elementary school level. One of the essential character values to be developed is discipline, which involves responsibility, independence, adherence to rules, and self-control. This study aims to describe the implementation of character education in developing discipline among fourth-grade elementary school students and to identify the challenges encountered by teachers in its implementation. A qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The participants consisted of 17 fourth-grade students and their homeroom teacher, who were directly involved in the learning process. The data were analyzed descriptively to obtain a comprehensive understanding of how disciplinary character education was implemented in the school environment. The findings indicate that disciplinary character development was implemented through daily habituation, teacher role modeling, and the consistent enforcement of school rules. These practices were reflected in students’ habits of following rules, fulfilling responsibilities, and participating in learning activities in accordance with established procedures. However, several challenges remained, particularly differences in students’ backgrounds and the varying levels of family support in developing consistent disciplinary habits. Therefore, effective character development requires collaboration among schools, parents, and the wider community to ensure that disciplinary values are consistently practiced both within and beyond the school environment.References
