Abstract
This article discusses character education practices in the United States, the United Kingdom and Indonesia based on existing literature. Character education practices in the United States tend to use a comprehensive approach that is integrated with the academic curriculum, while the UK emphasizes the development of core values and a whole school approach. In Indonesia, character education adopts elements from both countries but shows a stronger tendency towards the US approach in some aspects. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how character education practices in Indonesia compare with the US and the UK, with in-depth analyses of the key elements and practical implementation in the three countries.
