Abstract

The importance of character education in the context of teacher role modeling for students in the context of moral and ethical instruction has been well-documented. However, a paucity of research has been conducted on implementing character education in SMK Multi Dimensi Anyer. Therefore, a needs analysis was performed to identify the gap between the current competencies of teachers. This research aims to overcome the problem through the Training Needs Survey approach and recommends a development design for strengthening teacher character education by conducting training. The research method employed in this study is a descriptive exploratory approach, incorporating qualitative and quantitative (mixed) methods, with data collection techniques including observations and interviews conducted with the principal and deputy head of curriculum to identify character education needs for teachers and the administration of questionnaires analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics 26 to measure the understanding and application of character education by teachers. The results of the interviews indicated a need for training to enhance character education, and the results of the questionnaire distribution demonstrated that only two teachers attained the ideal score based on the level calculation on 18 sub-indicators, with a score above 55, and an overall average score of 49.3 was obtained. The findings reveal a discrepancy, indicating the necessity for training to enhance teachers' competence in instilling student character values.
