Pendidikan karakter sejak usia dini memiliki peranan yang sangat penting dalam membentuk kepribadian anak sebagai dasar menuju jenjang pendidikan selanjutnya. Salah satu karakter utama yang perlu dibentuk sejak dini adalah sikap disiplin, yaitu kemampuan anak dalam menaati aturan serta mengatur dirinya secara sadar dan bertanggung jawab. Guru sebagai pendidik memiliki peran sentral dalam membentuk karakter tersebut, tidak hanya melalui penyampaian materi, tetapi juga melalui pembiasaan nilai dan perilaku sehari-hari. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis upaya guru dalam membina karakter disiplin anak usia dini di PAUD Harsya Ceria Kota Banda Aceh. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi dan wawancara mendalam, terhadap guru dan aktivitas anak di kelas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guru menggunakan tiga metode utama dalam pembinaan karakter disiplin, yaitu metode nasihat, keteladanan, dan pembiasaan. Metode nasihat dilakukan dengan memberikan arahan dan penguatan verbal kepada anak mengenai pentingnya menaati aturan serta berperilaku baik di lingkungan sekolah. Metode keteladanan diterapkan dengan menjadikan guru sebagai contoh nyata dalam bersikap dan bertindak, seperti datang tepat waktu, berpakaian rapi, dan berbicara sopan, yang dapat ditiru langsung oleh anak-anak. Sedangkan metode pembiasaan dilakukan melalui aktivitas rutin yang konsisten, seperti menyimpan barang di tempatnya, mencuci tangan sebelum makan, mengantre, dan merapikan mainan setelah bermain. Ketiga metode ini diterapkan secara berkelanjutan dan menyatu dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar maupun rutinitas harian anak di sekolah. Dengan pendekatan tersebut, guru di PAUD Harsya Ceria telah berupaya secara aktif dan sistematis dalam menanamkan nilai-nilai disiplin pada anak sejak dini. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan agar pembinaan karakter disiplin dilakukan secara kolaboratif antara guru, lembaga sekolah, dan orang tua agar nilai-nilai disiplin dapat terinternalisasi secara konsisten baik di lingkungan sekolah maupun di rumah.

Nazratul Husna. (2025). Teachers’ Efforts in Fostering the Character of Discipline at Harsya Ceria Early Childhood Education (PAUD), Banda Aceh. [Undergraduate Thesis. Universitas Syiah Kuala]. Supervised by Dra. Yuhasriati, M.Pd., and Dina Amalia, S.Psi., M.Sc. Character education from an early age plays a crucial role in shaping a child’s personality as a foundation for the next stages of education. One of the essential character traits to be developed early is discipline, defined as a child’s ability to follow rules and regulate their behavior consciously and responsibly. Teachers, as educators, hold a central role in cultivating this character, not only through instructional delivery but also through the habituation of values and daily behavior. This study aims to describe and analyze teachers’ efforts in fostering discipline character among young children at Harsya Ceria Early Childhood Education (PAUD) in Banda Aceh. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through classroom observations and in-depth interviews with teachers, focusing on teacher practices and children’s classroom activities. The findings revealed that teachers applied three primary methods in fostering discipline: advising, modeling, and habituation. The advising method involved verbal guidance and reinforcement concerning the importance of adhering to rules and behaving appropriately in the school environment. The modeling method was implemented by positioning the teacher as a role model, demonstrating punctuality, neat appearance, and polite communication—behaviors that children can observe and imitate. The habituation method was practiced through consistent daily routines such as putting belongings in their proper place, washing hands before meals, lining up, and tidying up toys after playtime. These three methods were applied continuously and integrated into both teaching and the children’s daily school routines. Through this approach, teachers at Harsya Ceria Early Childhood Education (PAUD) have actively and systematically instilled the value of discipline in early childhood. The study recommends that the development of disciplinary character be carried out collaboratively among teachers, educational institutions, and parents to ensure the consistent internalization of discipline both at school and at home.
