<![CDATA[Character building in elementary school students is an important aspect of education. Childhood is the initial stage for building values, attitudes, and behavioral habits. Based on field observations by the KKN (Student Community Service) team in Sini Air, South Malalak District, several behavioral trends need attention. This is especially true for how students communicate and interact with teachers and peers. Some students still use inappropriate language, do not show full respect to teachers, and communicate in ways that do not fit their school environment or age. Therefore, the team held a socialization program on Islamic faith (aqidah) and morals (akhlak). This activity aims to strengthen students' understanding of Islamic values and encourage positive character traits.
This community service activity used educational and participatory approaches. It included material presentation, interactive discussion, Q&A sessions, and direct interaction with the students. The target of this activity was the students of SD N 09 Paladangan, South Malalak District. Data was collected through observation, documentation, and student responses during the activity. The results showed that the students followed the program with enthusiasm and actively participated in every stage. This program improved students' understanding of the importance of faith, respect, polite communication, responsibility, and good morals in daily life. The contribution of this activity lies in strengthening character education through a religious approach that connects faith with real moral actions. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed through cooperation among the school, teachers, parents, and students so that these positive values can be practiced consistently.]]>
