Character-based education needs to be developed in the world of education in Indonesia as an effort to achieve national education goals, namely to produce citizens who have competence not only in the cognitive domain but also in the affective and psychomotor domains. The research method used is a qualitative research method. The location of the research is at SMAN 19 Merangin. The subjects in this study were 4 teachers at SMA Negeri 19 Merangin and supporting informants consisted of the principal, vice principal for curriculum and students and guardians. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and documentation. The validity of the data used was the data triangulation technique. Data analysis techniques include four things, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or verification. The results of the study showed that: 1) Character education at SMA Negeri 19 Merangin emphasizes the development of five values, namely: religious, honest, caring for the environment, nationalism, creative and innovative. 2) Character education at SMA Negeri 19 Merangin is not a separate subject but is integrated into all existing subjects, the form of integration of character education can be seen from the syllabus and RPP developed by teachers at SMA Negeri 19 Merangin, as well as in the methods, media and evaluation techniques used by teachers at SMA Negeri 19 Merangin. 3) Obstacles in the implementation of character education in SMA Negeri 19 Merangin are the limited knowledge of some teachers about character education, heterogeneous students make it difficult for the school to determine the character values that must be developed, in addition, the absence of role models shown by officials is also an obstacle in itself in efforts to develop character education.
