PKM STUDENT CHARACTER BUILDING THROUGH MORAL ACTIVITIES AT PELITA BANGSA SCHOOL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL BATAM TO BECOME A GOLDEN GENERATION

Abstract

Education in schools is not only about teaching students to read, write, and count in order to pass exams and get good jobs. Schools must be able to educate students to distinguish right from wrong. Through education, it is hoped that students' thinking abilities will develop while also forming good character so they can achieve life goals. The purpose of this Community Service Program (PKM) is to improve student character through moral activities at SMP Pelita Bangsa School. This PKM is conducted from September to October 2025 involving 105 students from SMP Pelita Bangsa School. The partner involved in this PKM is SMP Pelita Bangsa School. The results of this PKM can significantly improve student character as measured by observations, interviews, and online character surveys. The PKM results contribute to the cultivation of noble character in students to support the golden generation program in the Riau Islands Province.
