Character education is education in values, morals, character, and manners with the aim of developing students to make good or bad decisions, get used to good things, and spread goodness. In the implementation of the Independent Curriculum, character education can be implemented through the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5). The purpose of this study was to determine the concept, obstacles challenges, and impact of strengthening character education through the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) on junior high school students. This study uses a phenomenological paradigm approach and a qualitative research type with a descriptive method. The study was conducted at SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Batu City. The data collection technique in this study used document techniques, interviews, and observations, with data validity tests using triangulation techniques and sources. Data analysis used interactive analysis techniques. The results of the study showed that there was an increase in the strength of character education in junior high school students through the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5). Through the implementation of P5, students carry out project-based learning, where students will collaborate to find knowledge from their own learning experiences. In the process, interaction occurs, so that students have indirectly strengthened character education through teamwork and with various parties so that their character is further strengthened. For this reason, the implementation of P5 in schools must be carried out properly starting from planning, implementation, and evaluation, so that the good implementation of P5 will have an effect on strengthening students' character to be better.
