Building Student Character Through A Guidance and Counseling Approach: Welcome A Superior Generation in the Global Era

Abstract

This research seeks to outline methods for fostering student character development using a guidance and counseling strategy, particularly in embracing the values of previous generations within the context of the contemporary global era.  The study employs a qualitative methodology, primarily utilizing library research techniques. The findings of the research indicate that the cultivation of character revolves around instilling fundamental ethical principles as the foundation for strong moral character. The goal is for learners to have good character. Indicators of good character entail comprehension and concern for fundamental ethical principles, along with behaviors grounded in core ethical values or pure ethics. It is hoped that with the development of student character through this guidance and counseling approach, it will be able to make the younger generation even more in building good characters from understanding and caring for basic ethical values.
