Also, it aims to know the hypothetical model of performance character education. The method used in this research was research development or research development (R&D) from Borg & Gnall. The subject of this research was SMA/MA Kuningan which was determined by purposive sampling of 120 students. The development stages included information gathering research, planning, initial model design, preliminary testing & model revision, main model testing & model revision II, operational testing & model revision III, and performance character education models. The results of this study indicated that the performance character education model effectively strengthened the performance character of students at school.
