<![CDATA[ABSTRACT The decline in social morality among adolescents poses a challenge in education, as it may be reflected in a lack of discipline, low levels of responsibility, and insufficient respect for others. Through Pancasila Education, schools play a role in shaping students’ character and improving their social morality. This study aims to describe the strategies employed by Pancasila Education teachers to improve students’ social morality and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors at SMP Negeri 1 Tuhemberua. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The informants consisted of the school principal, a Pancasila Education teacher, and seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Tuhemberua, with a total of five informants. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that teachers’ strategies for improving students’ social morality include role modeling, the habituation of positive behaviors, the use of varied teaching methods, and positive reinforcement through appreciation of students’ behavior and achievements. The inhibiting factors include differences in students’ characteristics, the influence of family and community environments, and low intrinsic motivation among some students. Efforts to overcome these challenges include character development through religious activities, linking learning materials to real-life moral issues, and fostering collaboration among schools, parents, and the community. This study emphasizes that improving students’ social morality requires the consistent implementation of character education strategies and sustained support from their surrounding environments. ABSTRAK Penurunan moralitas sosial di kalangan remaja menjadi tantangan dalam dunia pendidikan karena dapat tercermin melalui perilaku kurang disiplin, rendahnya tanggung jawab, dan kurangnya sikap saling menghargai. Sekolah melalui pembelajaran Pendidikan Pancasila memiliki peran dalam membentuk karakter dan meningkatkan moralitas sosial siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan strategi guru Pendidikan Pancasila dalam meningkatkan moralitas sosial siswa serta mengidentifikasi faktor pendukung dan penghambatnya di SMP Negeri 1 Tuhemberua. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis deskriptif. Informan penelitian terdiri atas kepala sekolah, guru PPKn, dan siswa kelas VII SMP Negeri 1 Tuhemberua, dengan jumlah keseluruhan 5 orang. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi guru dalam meningkatkan moralitas sosial siswa dilakukan melalui keteladanan, pembiasaan perilaku positif, penggunaan metode pembelajaran yang bervariasi, serta pemberian penguatan positif berupa apresiasi terhadap perilaku dan pencapaian siswa. Faktor penghambat meliputi perbedaan karakter siswa, pengaruh lingkungan keluarga dan masyarakat, serta rendahnya motivasi internal sebagian siswa. Upaya mengatasi kendala tersebut dilakukan melalui pembinaan karakter dalam kegiatan keagamaan, pengaitan materi pembelajaran dengan kasus moral dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, serta kerja sama antara sekolah, orang tua, dan masyarakat. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa peningkatan moralitas sosial siswa memerlukan penerapan strategi pendidikan karakter secara konsisten dan dukungan lingkungan yang berkesinambungan.]]>
