Abstract

For student outputs in the realm of quality education to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), they must be competitive. Parents’ roles as well as teachers’ roles contribute to a student's development of character. Based on data from science teachers at SMP Negeri 3 Kertosono, researchers aim to: (1) describe the character indicators that students have engaged in while at home; and (2) provide modeling of the role of the family in developing students’ character in science learning. Teachers find it challenging to keep an eye on students’ behaviour while they are at home. This study used descriptive quantitative methods. Simple random sampling was utilized as the sampling method. Seventh-grade students from 70 families at SMP Negeri 3 Kertosono served as the samples. Interviews and questionnaires were used as data-gathering methods. Descriptive statistics were used as a method of data analysis. According to the findings, 77% of students’ character traits were discipline, 70% were creativity, 77% were responsibility, 73% were honesty, 70% were thorough, and 57% were teamwork. Making rules, allowing for creative freedom, setting an example of discipline, and fostering trust are all aspects of the family's role that can be performed.
