<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the influence of school culture on the character of Grade IV students at SD YPK Inamo, Sorong Regency. A quantitative survey method with a correlational approach was employed. The study population comprised all Grade IV students (n = 15), selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and documentation. Reliability analysis yielded a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.841 for the school culture instrument and 0.671 for the student character instrument, both confirming sufficient reliability. Normality testing using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov method indicated that both variables were normally distributed (Asymp. Sig. = 0.200 > 0.05). Homogeneity testing confirmed equal variance between groups (Sig. = 0.001). Simple linear regression analysis revealed that the t-calculated value (4.820) substantially exceeded the t-table value (0.641), with a probability of p = 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant positive influence of school culture on student character. The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.641, indicating that school culture accounts for 64.0% of the variance in student character, with the remaining 36% attributable to other factors not examined in this study. The correlation coefficient (R = 0.801) falls within the "strong" category of influence. These findings confirm that school culture is a significant predictor of student character development in the elementary school context.]]>
