Abstract

Character education is an attitude and action that always tries to prevent damage to the surrounding natural environment, and develops efforts to repair the damage to nature that has already occurred. The problem in this study is that even though environmental care activities have been implemented, there is still a lack of student interest in caring for the environment resulting in students becoming less responsible and disciplined. This study aims to describe the efforts of teachers in instilling environmental care character education at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Hidayatul Mubtadi'in 1 Cibeber. The subjects of this study were grade 4 students at the Hidayatul Mubtadi'in 1 Cibeber Elementary School, Sukagumiwang District, Indramayu Regency.

The results of research through observation and interviews show that grade 4 students' environmental awareness has shown concern for the school environment and maintaining personal hygiene. This can be seen from the state of the class and school which is clean and tidy.
