Abstract:
The industrial revolution 4.0 challenges educational progress in a better direction, so managers
must be able to prepare and produce graduates who are mentally ready to prepare knowledge and
character-based jobs. The writing of this article aims to strengthen character education which is important
to be carried out in anticipation of the negative impact of the industrial revolution 4.0. Namely by
integrating character education through historical education. This research uses the library research
method. This method is a method that elaborates on various kinds of literature in the form of books,
journals, or literature that is relevant to the theme of writing. The important stages of the library method
are, choosing a research theme/topic, seeking information, setting a research focus, collecting sources,
making reports, processing research notes, making research notes, and reading data sources. The result of
this research is that strengthening character education through historical education during the industrial
revolution 4.0 is important to do. Things that can be done in shaping these characters are through local
history-based history learning and using media that developed in the 4.0 revolution, such as comics and
the storyboardthat.com application that uses the internet network. Through history education, students can
understand all kinds of national problems with historical messages, so that students have the ability to
think critically, creatively, wisely, empathically, independently, with a national spirit and with dignity.
