Peran Guru dalam Menanamkan Karakter Tanggung Jawab pada Siswa melalui Pembelajaran PKN di MI

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of teachers in instilling the character of responsibility in students through Civic Education (PKn) learning in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. The research employed a qualitative approach with a library research method by reviewing various relevant sources such as academic journals, books, and articles. The results indicate that Civic Education plays a strategic role in shaping students’ responsibility character, which is reflected in behaviors such as completing tasks, fulfilling obligations, and actively participating in learning activities. The teacher's role is a key factor in this process, functioning as a role model, facilitator, and guide. In addition, learning strategies such as habituation, contextual approaches, group work, and active learning methods are proven to be effective in fostering responsibility values. However, several challenges were identified, including time constraints, low student awareness, and external environmental influences. Therefore, continuous efforts from teachers, schools, and parents are necessary to create a supportive environment for optimal character development.
