Analysis of the Implementation of the 7 Habits of Great Indonesian Children Program in Strengthening the Character of Elementary School Students

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the “Seven Habits of Great Indonesian Children Movement” (KAIH) as a strategy for strengthening students’ character in elementary schools.The Seven Habits of Great Indonesian Children Movement is a program consisting of: 1) waking up early,2) praying/worshiping,3) exercising,4) eating healthy and nutritious food,5) enjoying learning,6) socializing within the community, and 7) going to bed early. This program is designed as a strategic effort to build children's character, implemented across school, home, and community environments.The research methodology employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA model. Data were collected through stages of identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion of 15 relevant scientific articles from the Google Scholar database for the 2025 period.The results indicate that the implementation of the Seven Habits Movement (KAIH) effectively contributes positively to the development of positive habits and the strengthening of eight key student character traits: religiosity, morality, health consciousness, intelligence and creativity, hard work, discipline and orderliness, independence, and social responsibility.However, the effectiveness of this program faces several challenges, including excessive gadget use and unsupervised social media usage by children, which necessitates strong collaboration among schools, teachers, and parents.In conclusion, the successful implementation of the Seven Habits Movement (KAIH) in strengthening students’ character requires continuous guidance and active, consistent involvement from all stakeholders.
