Acts of cheating , violating traffic rules, corrupt behavior, are some of the actions that occur because of the loss of the value of honesty. Lying became normal behavior. This article aims to form an honest character through Pancasila Education. Honesty itself is defined as a behavior based on efforts to make oneself a person who can always be trusted in words, actions, and work, both towards oneself and other parties. Honest is a moral character that has positive and noble qualities. The values and principles of honesty can also be instilled in students at the basic education level through the activity of cross-correcting test results in class. The role of the teacher is very important in observing the correction process with the aim of instilling honesty and responsibility in students. The teacher needs to re-correct the student's work one by one, the student's streaks and writings are listed on the answer sheet, the honesty of the student will be seen. The teacher then conveys the value of honesty and responsibility to students. The results of this study indicate that Pancasila Education succeeds in forming the honest character of students. Pancasila education has an important role in solving all problems, especially in character education. The researcher hopes that the next research can describe the character of Honest as a formula to unite the multicultural Indonesian society. The honest behavior of students is in line with the material content in this subject, which is about values and norms.
