One of the characters that need to be instilled in children from an early age is the character of discipline. Now the word discipline has developed following the progress of science so that there are many different disciplinary understandings from one expert to another. (Rosma Elly: 2016) Hodges said that discipline can be interpreted as the attitude of a person or group who intends to follow the rules that have been established. (Evi Fadilla Helmi: 1996) Discipline is an important thing that must be instilled in children. Discipline is obedience and obedience to something that has been agreed upon. So, the goal to be achieved from the formation of disciplinary character for children is to form children with a good personality and behave in accordance with applicable norms. Since early childhood, parents and teachers must shape the discipline of children in all aspects of life such as discipline in eating with one's own hands, discipline in learning, discipline in returning toys / items that have been used to the place of origin, and discipline in doing hygiene such as washing hands before eating and after going to the toilet and throwing trash in its place.
Based on the results of observations of researchers during the practice of teaching experience in Raudlatul Athfal Ma'arif 1 Metro, the reality is that several times encountered children who showed low self-discipline behavior.

Based on the results of observations in the field, researchers see that the causes of children who have not been disciplined, namely the environment and parents may not pay attention to existing discipline. Parents do not understand about understanding discipline, then parents may be busy with their work so they cannot apply discipline to children. Then the teacher has not given a good direction in the application of discipline. The teacher's attitude is too hard in establishing discipline and in this case the teacher instills discipline by force full of threats and punishment when the child shows an undisciplined attitude. The teacher also doesn't accustom the child to discipline, the teacher only uses the lecture method in applying discipline, while the child just sits and listens to what the teacher says, In the formation of disciplinary character for early childhood, the role of the teacher is very important in forming the character of early childhood discipline. Teachers as an example in class are also required to have skills in fostering discipline. With the teacher applying the attitude of daily discipline, the child will also imitate the attitude of discipline carried out by the teacher. The teacher as an educator must be able to determine and choose appropriate and effective ways of shaping the character of discipline in children. Teachers can choose learning methods in the right way to shape the character of discipline in children. The teacher as an educator must give good habits to students so that children have good personalities in the future (adults). According to Arikunto, that discipline is "Someone's compliance in following rules or regulations because it is driven by awareness in his conscience." (Suharsimi Arikunto: 2010) According to Gunawan school discipline means that every child must follow the rules and rules of the school such as how to dress neat and timeliness. (Irma Noffia: 2015) Meanwhile, according to Suryadi, discipline is a control system implemented by controls applied by educators to students so that they can function in society, as said by Hadiyanto discipline is a condition where attitudes and appearance, a student in accordance with the order of values, norms and provisions that apply in the school where the student is located (Wirna Nofita: 2015). Based on this information the researcher can conclude that discipline is a condition where a person follows obedience based on the growing awareness in a person.
Discipline of students in learning or learning discipline is the obedience (adherence) of students to the rules (rules) relating to teaching and learning activities in schools, which include time in and out of school, student compliance in dress, adherence of students in participating in school activities, and etc. (Darmadi: 2017) The teacher is a designation for positions, positions, and professions for someone who devotes himself in the field of education through educative interaction in a patterned, formal, and systematic way (M.Shabir U: 2015) In RI Law Number 14 of 2005 concerning teachers and lecturers in chapter I article 1 it is stated that: The teacher is a professional educator with the main task of educating, teaching, guiding, directing, training, evaluating, and evaluating students in early childhood education pathway formal education, basic education, and secondary education (RI Law No 14: 2005) . Good character is the answer to the question in which values need to be taught to others, namely humble, honest, good, loyal, patient and responsible classified as people with good character by others. ( Hengki Wijaya & Helaluddin: TT) Based on the Standards of Achievement in the Level of Early Childhood Development in 2013 Curriculum, indicators of good character of early childhood are included in the moral category, as follows (Permendeikbud No. 137: 2014). 1) Say a prayer before and / or after doing something 2) Get to know good/polite and bad behavior 3) Familiarize yourself with good behavior Say your greetings and reply to greetings Based on the information above, the indicators of good character for early childhood writers will make it an indicator in measuring the good character of children in this study.
