Introduction. The relevance of this research lies in addressing the lack of clear, practical standards for character education in elementary schools in Indonesia, which remains largely theoretical. The purpose of this article is to develop a learning model intended as a standard and guideline for teachers in the teaching and learning process of Pancasila student character profiles at the elementary school level. Study participant and methods. The research utilized the R&D Borg and Gall method, which involved various stages from research and information collection to dissemination and implementation. The validation process included consultations with experts in student character teaching strategies to ensure the model's validity, design, and contextualization. The trial involved 10 teachers and 100 elementary school students from grades 4, 5, 6 across five different elementary schools in Indonesia. The results. The results of this study indicate that the Transformative Reflexive Empowering Character Building (TRECB) Model garnered motivation and interest from 93.3% to 96.6% of students, and there was a significant improvement in students' understanding of the Pancasila student profile. With an n-gain value of 0.75, the effectiveness of the TRECB model in enhancing students' understanding and application of the Pancasila student profile falls into the high category. Statistical observations also reveal a significant difference in the Pancasila Student Profile among students before and after the integration of the TRECB Model into their educational experience. Conclusion. The developed learning model provides a standard and guideline for teachers in character education at the elementary school level, addressing the lack of clear standards and implementation in character education in Indonesian elementary schools. The model, refined through expert consultations and trials, offers an effective approach to teaching and learning character education, paving the way for its implementation in elementary schools and potentially higher levels of education in the future. © 2024 LLC Ecological Help.
