Character building among students is a primary goal of primary education, reinforced through the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile within the Merdeka Curriculum. This study aims to describe the forms of good habits that contribute to shaping the Pancasila Student Profile and to explain the process of their implementation in primary schools. A qualitative approach was employed, involving school principals, classroom teachers, and students as subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires, and subsequently analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model; data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The results indicate that the implemented good habits include praying before and after lessons, discipline, responsibility, mutual cooperation (gotong royong), maintaining environmental cleanliness, mutual respect, healthy living practices, and the execution of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5). These habits are instilled through teacher role-modeling, routine practice, school culture, and integration into the instructional process. The findings demonstrate that consistently practiced habits support the development of student character in alignment with the six dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile and strengthen character education in primary schools.
