Abstract
This research explores the implementation of the principles of character education in state senior high schools (SMP) in Palu. This research focuses on the application of Civics Education (PPKn) to teach principles of educational character. In the PPKn topic, the objective is to disclose positive things related to the creation of cultural values. This study will answer a research question: What is the description of character education implementation in PPKn subjects in Junior High Schools in the City of Palu? This study used a qualitative longitudinal study method, and the data were gathered through interviews with a school principal, PPKn teachers, and Kaili traditional leaders in Palu City who were related to learning PPKn in classrooms that contained character education values. After the data was collected, an analysis is carried out through data display, data verification, and conclusions drawing. The research found that character education at the State Junior High Schools has not been going well. The main obstacle includes curriculum guidance that is not yet clear, short learning time and no special institution that focuses on instilling predetermined character standards. The subject of PPKn includes character values that are expressed in the tales of characters and individuals that encourage teens to be followed by teenagers.
