<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the integration of the value of mutual cooperation (gotong royong) in Social Studies (IPS) learning and analyze its impact on the development of elementary school students' social character. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results indicate that teachers systematically integrate the value of mutual cooperation (gotong royong) through learning planning, implementation, and assessment. Activities such as group work, discussions, mini-projects, and social simulations provide effective tools for students to practice cooperation, mutual assistance, and sharing tasks. Consequently, students demonstrate improved social character development in the form of empathy, tolerance, responsibility, and the ability to work together in groups. Thus, the integration of the value of mutual cooperation (gotong royong) in Social Studies learning has proven effective in strengthening the social character of elementary school students and is relevant for ongoing implementation in the learning process.]]>
