There were three primary data sources, consisting of one principal and two teachers in social studies subjects. The data used were primary data and secondary data, where the data analysis included four activity streams, namely the process of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion/verification. The results showed that the character education program had been programmed, both in general and specifically in the social studies subject.
