The Role of Discipline in Character Education for Elementary School Students in The Digital Era
Abstract
In the era of globalization, the decline of moral values among students has become a serious concern, highlighting the urgent need for character education. This article explores the importance of discipline as a foundational value in shaping the character of elementary school students. This study analyzes relevant literature through a qualitative library research approach, including academic journals, books, and expert perspectives. The findings indicate that discipline is crucial in fostering consistent behavior and moral responsibility in students across spiritual, social, and academic aspects. The article emphasizes the need for sustained reinforcement of disciplinary values through collaboration between schools and families. Strengthening discipline supports academic achievement and contributes to students' long-term integrity and character development. This study contributes to the discourse on moral education by highlighting practical strategies for character formation in digitally influenced educational settings.
