Abstract: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of teacher strategies in character learning by analyzing teacher mastery of strategies and the ability to implement character learning strategies. Using descriptive analytical methods, data was collected using questionnaires and planning documents for the implementation of learning for 30 teachers. The research findings indicate inconsistency in teacher knowledge about character learning strategies with the ability of teachers to implement them into the learning process. Teacher’s conceptual knowledge is good, but it has not been followed by the ability to identify and develop character learning steps associated with character learning resources in the student environment. It was concluded that the teacher had substantial weaknesses in developing character learning strategies. This study recommends a strategy to strengthen the teacher’s ability to develop character learning through strengthening pedagogical and professional competencies through both the teacher education curriculum and teacher professional development in a sustainable manner. The character learning strategy must be an important part of the overall process of education and teacher development.
