Abstrak

The phenomenon of moral degradation is becoming increasingly prevalent in society. This makes the world of education seem partly responsible for these various incidents. Education is expected to be at the forefront in teaching and guiding Indonesian children to possess good morality accepted within society. Based on this situation, the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education launched a program called "7 Great Habits of Indonesian Children." This program is expected to instill good habits in Indonesian children and prepare them to become a useful successor generation within society. This study aims to deeply analyze the implementation of the 7 Great Habits of Indonesian Children Program and its relevance in strengthening students' religious character in the school environment. The research background is driven by the urgent need to bridge religious values (spirituality) with daily practical actions (habits) amid challenges of moral and technological disruption. This study uses a qualitative approach with literature review research. Based on this study, religious character education through the implementation of the 7 Great Habits of Indonesian Children Program shows very strong and effective relevance. The program successfully bridges the gap between theoretical religious values and students' daily life practices. The core of this success lies in the program's ability to translate spiritual principles into disciplinary routines that are easily internalized.
