Moral character is students' ability to understand good and bad values, possess moral awareness and feelings, and express them in daily behavior, such as honesty, responsibility, empathy, love of goodness, and self-control. This study aims to determine the effect of group guidance services using role-playing techniques embedded with Taro Ada Taro Gau values in strengthening the moral character of MA Hurrasul Aqidah students. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre- experimental design using the one-group pretest-posttest model. The sample consisted of 13 female 1 1th-grade students at MA Hurasul Aqidah. Data were collected using a 45-item moral character scale. We analyzed the data using descriptive statistics, normality testing, and a paired-samples t-test. The results showed that students' mean moral character score increased from 134.38 on the pretest to 156.85 on the posttest, an increase of 22.46 points (16.71%). This increase indicated a change in students' moral character after receiving group guidance services using role-playing techniques embedded with Taro Ada Taro Gau values. The Paired Samples t-Test results yielded St = -11.906S, df = 12, and p 0.001, thereby rejecting Ho and accepting Ha. Consequently, group guidance services using role-playing techniques embedded with Taro Ada Taro Gau values significantly strengthen the moral character of MA Hurrasul Aqidah students.
