Abstract

Character education plays important role in developing students’ personalities. The aims of this study are to describe what character traits are instilled by the teachers and how the teacher instills these character traits in the students at Pasuruhan State Elementary School. The study employed a qualitative approach. The data were collected through an interview with a female teacher and observations. The results of this study indicate that Pasuruhan State Elementary School has implemented 5 character traits: spirituality, passion for reading, honesty, independence, and tolerance. In instilling the characters, the teachers used the following strategies: ‘habituation’ and ‘continuous reminder’, ‘setting a good example, and ‘providing advice. The study has pedagogical implications, particularly in terms of the teacher’s role in building students’ positive characters and the strategies that can be used in nurturing those characters.
