Abstract

General Background: Character education is a central objective of formal education aimed at developing students’ moral values, discipline, and social behavior through structured school systems. Specific Background: Student management serves as an organized approach to regulate and guide student activities from admission to graduation, integrating academic and non-academic programs to foster character values. Knowledge Gap: Despite its recognized importance, the practical implementation of student management in shaping student character within inclusive elementary school settings remains insufficiently described. Aims: This study aims to analyze the implementation of student management in shaping student character and examine its outcomes at SD Muhammadiyah 1 Taman Sidoarjo. Results: The findings indicate that student management is implemented through three main stages: planning based on environmental analysis and student abilities, development through academic and non-academic activities alongside habitual practices, and evaluation via regular meetings and follow-up guidance. These processes contribute to the formation of key character values, including religiousness, integrity, nationalism, cooperation, independence, and discipline, while also supporting academic achievement and positive school culture. Novelty: This study provides an integrated depiction of student management practices combining structured programs and daily habit formation within an inclusive educational context. Implications: The findings highlight the importance of systematic student management as a strategic framework for character formation, offering practical insights for educational institutions to strengthen character education through coordinated planning, implementation, and evaluation.
