<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the role of social habits in developing social awareness in elementary school students as part of efforts to strengthen character education. The background of the study stems from the importance of instilling social values such as mutual assistance, mutual help, and cooperation as the foundation for character formation in students in the modern era that tends towardsindividualism. This study used a quantitative approach with a correlational method involving 30 fifthgrade students at Cileungsir Public Elementary School, Petir District, Serang Regency. Data were collected through social habits questionnaires, social awareness questionnaires, and observations of student behavior during school activities. Data analysis was conducted using a Pearson correlation test to determine the relationship between social habits and levels of social awareness. The results showed a significant positive relationship between social habits and students' social awareness (r = 0.743; p < 0.05). This means that the more social habits students practice, the higher their level of social awareness. This finding confirms that instilling social values through mutual assistance, cooperation, and helping each other can strengthen students' empathy, sense of responsibility, and social participation. This study recommends that schools systematically integrate social habits through character education strengthening programs and school community involvement, thereby fostering a generation of students with character, caring, and contributing positively to their social environment.]]>
