Character education plays an important role in shaping the
personalities of elementary school students. This study aims
to analyze the role of teachers in shaping the character of
fourth-grade students at SDN Ululere. The research method
used is descriptive qualitative with data collection through
observation, interviews, and documentation. The results
show that teachers play the role of educators, teachers, and
coaches in shaping students' character. As educators,
teachers instill religious values and responsibility through
habitual prayer, exemplary behavior, and routine activities
such as class duty. As teachers, teachers integrate character
values into learning through group discussions and
differentiated learning, emphasizing honesty, cooperation,
and responsibility. As coaches, teachers provide personal
guidance, routine religious activities, and training in student
independence. From this character-building process, four
main characters are strengthened, namely religious, honest,
independent, and responsible. This study confirms that
character building in students requires a collaborative
approach between teachers, schools, and parents in a
consistent and sustainable manner.
