From the research results, it can be concluded that the implementation of character education consists of planning and implementation. Some of the learning plans used are made by teachers and some are not made by the teachers themselves, but show the integration of character education. In terms of implementation, the teacher implements it through learning methods designed by the teacher himself to make the teaching process more interesting and easier for his students to understand and in various activities such as spontaneous activities, instilling discipline, and creating a conducive atmosphere. In PKN learning, teachers develop and instill around 4 values or pillars of character developed by the school, such as the pillars of courtesy, cooperation, mutual respect, and religion. Efforts to instill this character are by getting used to the activities that already exist at school and implementing them more by each teacher who teaches. The obstacles faced by teachers in implementing character education are limited school facilities and infrastructure, learning methods that are still the same without changes, attitude assessment, and family factors.
