Abstract

This article discusses community service initiatives conducted at ICC Pahang, a learning center for Indonesian immigrant children in Malaysia, with the aim of developing discipline and character through the application of the Atomic habits method. The initiative is targeted at 20 students and involves activities such as habitually reading prayers before lessons, physical fitness exercises, and classroom neatness. The implementation method uses a structured approach which includes the stages of observation, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Observation of the learning environment and student behavior is used as the basis for program design, which also includes additional elements such as creative classes and physical exercise routines. The successful application of the Atomic habits method is reflected in the positive transformation of student behavior, which results in increased discipline, responsibility, and character development. The effectiveness of this program emphasizes the importance of small habits in shaping individual character. This initiative not only improves discipline among students, but also contributes to a broader conversation about education and character building. The results show the value of applying the Atomic habits approach to create sustainable positive habits, forming a culture of discipline, responsibility, and personal growth among students. The implications are beneficial for educational institutions that want to implement similar strategies for character development and student empowerment. By addressing the importance of routine practices and habits, the initiative contributes to the advancement of education that emphasizes holistic personal development.
