PERAN GURU DALAM MEMBENTUK KARAKTER DISIPLIN SISWA MELALUI PEMBELAJARAN PPKN DI SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

Character education, particularly in the domain of discipline, constitutes a fundamental and indispensable dimension that must be systematically internalized among elementary school students from an early developmental stage. Nevertheless, empirical observations continue to reveal persistent manifestations of disciplinary deficiencies among learners, as evidenced by chronic tardiness, violations of school regulations, and a lack of accountability in fulfilling assigned academic responsibilities. In light of these challenges, the role of the teacher emerges as a pivotal and strategic agent in cultivating disciplinary character through the instructional framework of Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn). This study aims to provide a comprehensive and in-depth description of the teacher’s multifaceted role in shaping students’ disciplinary character via PPKn instruction within the primary education context. Employing a library research methodology, the present study conducts a critical analysis and systematic synthesis of diverse scholarly sources, including reputable peer reviewed journals, academic monographs, scientific articles, and prior empirical investigations pertinent to the research theme. The findings of this literature review underscore that teachers function in multiple strategic capacities as moral exemplars, intellectual and affective mentors, intrinsic motivators, and consistent supervisors in the effective instillation and reinforcement of disciplinary attitudes among students.
