Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of character education in addressing the various challenges of student development in the era of globalization. As an effort to strengthen character, SMAN 1 Kota Malang developed the Friday Berseri (Clean, Healthy, Religious) Program, implemented through Clean Friday, Healthy Friday, and Religious Friday activities. This study aims to describe the planning, implementation, and evaluation of this program in shaping student character. The research used a qualitative approach with a case study. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal, vice principal, teachers, and students. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, with validity tests using source and technique triangulation. The results show that program planning was carried out through an early-semester meeting involving the entire school community. Program implementation was carried out routinely through environmental cleanliness activities, group exercise, and religious activities. Evaluation was conducted through observation of student behavior, attendance monitoring, and direct supervision by teachers and school management. The Friday Berseri Program has been proven to have a positive impact on developing religious character, discipline, responsibility, environmental awareness, cooperation, and a healthy lifestyle. Thus, the Friday Series Program is an effective habit-building program in supporting the implementation of character education in schools.
