Character Development and Life Skills through The Karakterku Application to Education Students at Universitas Negeri Medan 2022

At the moment, everyone is living in the period of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. College students face enormous challenges in this era. The 4.0 Industrial Revolution is an age in which employees are being replaced by machines or robots. In this era, all activities in various areas of life can already be carried out using machines, be it in the fields of health, education, marketing and in other fields. This is a very big challenge for a student. In this era, students will face various challenges or problems that arise from western cultures. Seeing the rapid development of information and machines, the unwitting entry of western culture is also getting faster and easier. Parents and the surroundings also have a part in molding children's characteristics. Character is formed via phases of knowledge, execution, and habit formation.. Character is not limited to knowledge alone. A person who has kindness is not necessarily able to act according to his knowledge, if it is not trained (becomes a habit) to do good. It is hoped that through the media of the KARAKTERKU application, students can find the correct character patterns, especially now that the government emphasizes character education, for this reason, researchers are trying to design character education programs through IT which are used as a process of development or character building to become a foothold in the implementation of character education in universities.
