PENERAPAN BUDAYA 5S TERHADAP PEMBENTUKAN KARAKTER PESERTA DIDIK PADA SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

The implementation of the 5S culture (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain), originating from Japan, has proven effective in creating a conducive work environment in line with its slogan. In the context of education, applying the 5S culture can positively influence character building in students, especially at the elementary school level. This research aims to analyze the impact of the 5S culture on shaping students’ character in elementary schools, focusing on attitudes of discipline, responsibility, independence, and environmental awareness. The method used in this study is a quantitative approach through literature review techniques on schools that have adopted the 5S culture. The research findings indicate that schools implementing the 5S culture regularly are able to instill positive character values, such as discipline, cleanliness, and responsibility. This, in turn, also impacts students' motivation to learn, cleanliness, orderliness, and the development of positive character in elementary schools.
