Abstract: The decline in morality among students in Indonesia can be seen from various deviant behaviors, acts of violence, and violations of religious values. This phenomenon reflects weaknesses in the character formation process in educational environments, including in Madrasahs. Madrasahs, as Islamic educational institutions, have a very vital role in instilling Islamic character values in students. This study aims to identify the role of teacher role models in the process of character formation of students in madrasahs, with a focus on aspects of speech, actions, and attitudes. The method used is qualitative with a literature review approach, data collected from various relevant articles and books. The research findings show that teacher role models, which include words, real actions, and consistent attitudes, are very influential in the formation of student character. In addition, religious programs in Madrasahs, such as congregational prayers, Friday Charity, and other social activities, also contribute to forming characters who are faithful, knowledgeable, and have noble morals. Therefore, this study confirms that teacher role models are an effective method in character formation. The implementation of policies that support the strengthening of religious culture in Madrasahs must be carried out systematically and involve good collaboration between families and communities to ensure success in the formation of sustainable student character.
