This study aims to develop a digital attendance system-based learning media integrated with face recognition technology and Global Positioning System (GPS) to support the assessment of students' discipline and responsibility at MTs Daarul Hikmah. The background of the study is based on the problem of using a manual attendance system that is prone to manipulation and is less effective in supporting technology-based learning. This study uses a research and development method (R&D) with the ADDIE model consisting of five stages, namely: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The development results show that the digital attendance system is able to automatically record student attendance based on facial verification and GPS location when attendance is carried out. The system was developed using the AppSheet platform connected to Google Spreadsheet as a database. Validation was carried out by material experts, media experts, and student responses, which showed an average feasibility percentage of 91.1%, including the "Very Feasible" category. This learning media not only functions as an attendance recording tool, but also as a means of instilling character values through the application of technology. Thus, this system is expected to be an effective digital attendance solution while supporting the implementation of character-based learning and technology in madrasas.
