Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi keterkaitan pendekatan teori Pestalozzi dalam pengembangan karakter anak di Sekolah Dasar melalui analisis filosofi dan konsep. Pendekatan ini mengedepankan pengintegrasian yang seimbang dari aspek pikiran, perasaan, dan keterampilan sebagai fondasi dalam pertumbuhan moral, kemampuan intelektual, serta keterampilan praktis anak-anak. Dengan melakukan tinjauan pustaka terhadap tulisan-tulisan Pestalozzi serta kajian dari akademisi di Indonesia dan negara-negara Barat, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan karakter yang sukses seharusnya menjadikan anak sebagai individu yang aktif, belajar melalui pengalaman yang nyata, hubungan emosional yang hangat, serta pembiasaan yang berkesinambungan. Temuan dari studi ini memperlihatkan bahwa pendekatan Pestalozzi sejalan dengan prinsip-prinsip pendidikan nasional, khususnya Kurikulum Merdeka dan Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P5), yang keduanya menekankan pentingnya pembelajaran yang kontekstual, bersifat humanis, dan berbasis pada proyek. Selain itu, pendekatan ini juga sesuai dengan pandangan Ki Hadjar Dewantara tentang pendidikan yang menghargai martabat manusia sebagai individu. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa teori Pestalozzi bukan hanya signifikan secara historis, tetapi juga memberi sumbangan pemikiran dan praktik untuk pengembangan karakter siswa Sekolah Dasar dalam lingkungan pendidikan di Indonesia. Implementasi dari prinsip pikiran, perasaan, dan keterampilan dapat menjadi model strategis dalam merancang program pembelajaran yang komprehensif, berorientasi humanis, dan berkelanjutan.
