Character education is a primary objective of Indonesia’s national education system, particularly in fostering students’ moral values and integrity, including honesty. This study aimed to examine the relationship between students’ understanding of moral education materials in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and the honest behaviour of fifth-grade students at SDN Bekasi Jaya IX. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. The population comprised all fifth-grade students, with 65 students selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring students’ understanding of moral education materials and honest behaviour. Moral education understanding was assessed through students’ abilities to remember, understand, and apply moral values, while honest behaviour included telling the truth, refraining from cheating, admitting mistakes, respecting others’ belongings, and taking responsibility for words and actions. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Spearman’s rank correlation, and the coefficient of determination. The findings revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between moral education understanding and honest behaviour, with a Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.5966 and p < 0.001. The coefficient of determination was 35.59%. These findings indicate that higher moral education understanding was associated with higher honest behaviour among students, while not establishing a causal relationship between the variables.
