Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the influence of understanding the material Living in Peace with Honesty and Trustworthiness on students' learning commitment at SD Negeri 0307 Siundol Jae. Honesty and trustworthiness are essential character values in shaping students' discipline and responsibility, which ultimately contribute to improving their learning quality. This study employs a quantitative approach with a correlational technique. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and interviews with fifth- and sixth-grade students. The results of the study indicate that a good understanding of the material Living in Peace with Honesty and Trustworthiness has a positive and significant impact on students' learning commitment. Students who understand and apply the values of honesty and trustworthiness in their daily lives tend to have higher learning motivation, greater discipline in completing assignments, and a stronger sense of responsibility toward their school obligations. Additionally, the role of teachers in providing a deep understanding of these values also plays a crucial role in shaping students' character development. Based on the study findings, it is recommended that schools further strengthen character education, particularly the values of honesty and trustworthiness, through more interactive and applicable teaching methods. Furthermore, support from parents and the surrounding environment is essential to ensure that these values are consistently practiced in students' daily lives, both at school and at home. Thus, students are expected to develop a stronger learning commitment and become responsible and integrity-driven individuals.
