Character education, which includes the formation of moral and social values, is a crucial component in the education process in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, an institution that combines aspects of general science with religious teachings. This article uses the literature review method to analyze recent studies, policies and best practices related to the implementation of character education in the teacher education curriculum.
