The study "Implementation and Obstacles to Student Character Education at SMAN 1 Anjir Muara" by Nor'Aniah, Eris Warmansyah Abbas, Mutiani, Raihanah Sari, and Junriani explores the implementation of character education in a senior high school in Indonesia. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques to gather data from various sources. The study aims to describe how character education is integrated into learning activities, school culture, and extracurricular activities, and to identify the obstacles faced in this process. Key findings include: 1. **Learning Process**: Character values are integrated into lesson plans, such as teaching respect for differences and polite language. 2. **School Culture**: School culture is categorized into routine, spontaneous, and exemplary activities. Routine activities include daily, weekly, and annual practices like cleaning, prayers, and religious events. Spontaneous activities involve immediate actions like helping sick friends or addressing conflicts. Exemplary activities involve setting positive examples through teachers' behavior. 3. **Extracurricular Activities**: These include scouting, student council, and PMR (Youth Red Cross) activities, which promote independence, social care, and responsibility. Obstacles to character education include: 1. **Family Environment**: Parents' low education levels and busy schedules can hinder the implementation of character education at home. 2. **Technological Advances**: The rapid development of technology, particularly cell phones, can lead to a decline in social interaction and empathy among students. The study concludes that character education should focus on habituating good behavior rather than just teaching right and wrong. It suggests that educational institutions and parents must work together to improve student personality and that schools should continuously develop character values to ensure their effectiveness. The research provides insights for future studies to deepen the understanding of character education in educational institutions.The study "Implementation and Obstacles to Student Character Education at SMAN 1 Anjir Muara" by Nor'Aniah, Eris Warmansyah Abbas, Mutiani, Raihanah Sari, and Junriani explores the implementation of character education in a senior high school in Indonesia.
