Abstract :

This study attempts to define and clarify the role of Civics education teachers in the moral intelligence development of students. This study used a descriptive qualitative method to look at the phenomenon that the research subjects encountered. Data is collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Nine people made up the study’s informants, who were chosen through the purposive sample method. The findings indicated that SMP Negeri Kendari 1 students had developed their moral intelligence through instruction in and reiteration of moral principles, discussion of and demonstration of concrete moral examples indirectly integrated with subjects and group learning processes, and encouragement of participation in extracurricular activities as a means of fostering students’ morale, particularly tolerance and self-control. Consequently, it can be said that Civics education teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Kendari actively contribute to students’ moral intelligence development by incorporating the inculcation of moral intelligence values into the learning process, discussing subject matter and associating it with moral intelligence values, encouraging extracurricular activities, and providing examples or models about people who have moral intelligence values. Civics education teachers play a crucial role in helping students acquire moral intelligence, which is necessary for the development of morally upright citizens who can build civilizations that uphold societal norms and values.
