Abstract

Abstract. This study explores the implications of positive discipline training and inclusive education for prospective elementary teachers in Southwest Papua, with a focus on developing moral and character education as well as building a supportive learning environment. The number of participants is 30 students/teacher candidates with 5 trainers. Through this training, prospective teachers are able to increase their understanding of inclusivity, adopt proactive classroom management strategies, and develop inclusive teaching skills. As a result, they are able to create a safe and supportive learning environment, which promotes moral values and strong character among students. The implications of this research provide an optimistic picture of the role of prospective teachers in building inclusive education and strengthening student character, especially in the special cultural and environmental context of Southwest Papua.
