PEMBINAAN KARAKTER TANGGUNG JAWAB OLEH GURU KELAS IV: STUDI KUALITATIF DI MI AL-MARZUKIYAH

Abstract

This study aims to describe the role of teachers in fostering the character of responsibility among fourth-grade students at MI Al-Marzukiyah, Dusun Tengilis, Praya District, Central Lombok Regency. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Research informants included the class teacher, subject teachers, principal, and students. The results revealed that teachers play six key roles: demonstrator, classroom manager, mentor, facilitator, inspirator, and mediator. Among these, the roles of demonstrator and classroom manager were most dominant in fostering a sense of responsibility, while the role of inspirator had not yet been fully optimized. The success of character building is also influenced by parental involvement and students’ social environments. The study concludes that cultivating a sense of responsibility requires strong collaboration between teachers, schools, and families through consistent and meaningful habit formation.
