The character of discipline is still a major concern in elementary education because classroom order, punctuality, responsibility for assignments, and active participation are closely related to students' readiness to learn and moral development. In PPKn learning, the value of discipline is often conveyed through verbal explanations, even though abstract moral messages are not always easy for students to relate to daily behavior at school. This study aims to analyze the application of poster image media in shaping student discipline character in PPKn learning at SDN 1 Perbutulan. The study used a descriptive qualitative design to explain the use of posters, the development of students' disciplinary behavior, as well as supporting and inhibiting factors for its implementation. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and documentation of learning activities. The analysis focused on four discipline indicators, namely attendance, focus on learning, punctuality in completing tasks, and full participation. The results of the study show that poster image media helps teachers convey discipline values in a more concrete, interesting, and memorable way. Students become more attentive to learning, more courageous to participate in discussions, and better understand the importance of punctuality and class rules. The implementation of posters is supported by visual clarity, teacher direction, a conducive classroom environment, and family support. Obstacles that arise include uneven awareness of student discipline, peer distractions, limited learning time, and inconsistent habituation of discipline at home. This study concludes that poster image media can be a visual habituation tool to strengthen disciplinary character if combined with teacher examples, classroom routines, and school-to-family collaboration.
