Abstract


The teacher's position once looked down upon, is now considered a professional and even stipulated in Law no. 14 of 2005 Chapter II Article 2.

Efforts to instill commendable behavior in early childhood can be made through character education if a teacher understands his position. This study sought information about the teacher's position in instilling character education in early childhood at Shafa Marwah Karawang Kindergarten. The method used in this research is qualitative with descriptive analysis. Data collection techniques using passive participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation.
