Abstract

This study aimed to examine the influence of school culture and digital literacy on the character of elementary school students in the Pangudi Luhur Cluster, Gunungwungkal District, Pati Regency. The research was motivated by the low levels of literacy, numeracy, and character development identified in the 2023 education report cards, particularly at SDN Perdopo 02 and several surrounding schools. The study refers to the Pancasila Student Profile, which outlines ideal student attributes such as faith in God, noble character, global diversity, mutual cooperation, independence, critical thinking, and creativity. Using a quantitative approach with an ex-post facto design, the research involved a sample of 71 fifth-grade students selected through simple random sampling from a population of 87. Data were collected using validated and reliable closed-ended questionnaires, then analyzed using t-tests, F-tests, and multiple linear regression with SPSS 26.0. The results showed that school culture and digital literacy significantly influence the character of elementary school students, with a combined contribution of 62.7% to character development. The regression equation obtained was Ŷ = 11.507 + 0.343 X₁ + 0.542 X₂, indicating that both school culture and digital literacy contribute positively to shaping students' character. These findings highlight the importance of a strong school environment and digital competence in fostering well-rounded, character-driven learners.
