Abstract

The advancement of digital technology in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era presents major challenges in the world of education, especially related to moral decline among students, such as identity crises and weakened empathy. Character education is a strategic necessity to overcome these problems. This article examines the importance of character education in building student moral resilience in the digital era through a literature review with a qualitative-descriptive approach. The synthesis of the literature review reveals that effective character education must be implemented in stages according to the student's developmental phase. This staged approach includes value habituation at the Elementary School (SD) level, moral strengthening and critical thinking through discussions and social projects at the Junior High School (SMP) level, and the formation of moral resilience and transcendental valuesthrough reflection and contextual learning at the Senior High School (SMA) level. Furthermore, teachers play a crucial role as value facilitators, and collaboration among schools, families, and communities is essential to create a supportive educational ecosystem. This staged and integrated model offers a clear pedagogical framework for educational institutions to cultivate a generation that is not only technologically proficient but also possesses strong ethical and moral resilience in the face of modern value crises
