PERAN GURU DALAM MEMBANGUN KARAKTER SOSIAL SISWA SD DI ERA SOCIETY 5.0

ABSTRACT Dynamic shifts in the Society 5.0 era demand moral resilience in students starting from the primary school level, making educators the central pillar in transforming social values. This study deeply explores how the cultivation of religious, independent, and responsible character traits is implemented at SD Negeri 01 Margo Rejo, while mapping the various influencing factors. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, direct observations of daily activities, and document analysis involving the school principal, the fifth-grade teacher, and four students. Interactive data analysis and technical triangulation confirmed that ethical development is executed through a combination of spiritual routines, disciplinary guidance, and role modeling. Throughout this process, the teacher seamlessly integrates six core roles as an instructor, counselor, motivator, demonstrator, facilitator, and evaluator while equipping students with 21st-century 4C skills (critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration). Although character building is supported by strong teacher modeling and adequate school facilities, limited parental engagement and unmonitored digital device usage remain notable hurdles. These findings emphasize the necessity of strengthening collective synergy among schools, families, and communities to establish a solid foundation for children's character development. ABSTRAK Dinamika perubahan di era society 5.0 menuntut ketahanan moral peserta didik sejak jenjang sekolah dasar, sehingga keberadaan figur pendidik menjadi tumpuan utama dalam mentransformasikan nilai-nilai sosial. Riset ini mengurai secara mendalam bagaimana praktik pembentukan karakter religius, mandiri, dan tanggung jawab dijalankan di SD Negeri 01 Margo Rejo, sekaligus memetakan berbagai faktor yang memengaruhinya. Lewat pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, informasi digali secara intensif dari kepala sekolah, guru kelas V, serta empat peserta didik melalui wawancara semi terstruktur, pengamatan aktivitas harian, dan telaah dokumen pendukung. Analisis data interaktif serta uji triangulasi teknik mengonfirmasi bahwa penanaman etika dilakukan melalui kombinasi pembiasaan ritus spiritual, pengarahan disiplin, dan pemberian contoh konkrit. Dalam proses tersebut, guru secara terpadu mengintegrasikan enam peran mendasar sebagai pengajar, pembimbing, motivator, demonstrator, fasilitator, hingga evaluator seraya membekali siswa dengan kecakapan 4C (critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration). Meskipun efektivitas pembinaan ini disokong oleh keteladanan pendidik serta sarana sekolah yang memadai, keterbatasan kepedulian sebagian orang tua dan penetrasi teknologi digital tanpa pengawasan ketat masih menjadi tantangan nyata. Temuan ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya penguatan sinergi kolektif antara pihak sekolah, keluarga, dan masyarakat demi membangun benteng karakter anak yang tangguh.
