Sugiyono (2013) said, descriptive research which is a research method carried out with the main objective of make a picture or description of a situation objectively. Thus, the reason why researchers are interested in using a descriptive research model with a qualitative approach is because it aims to identify, describe and provide an overview of how the processes, mechanisms, barriers and factors for the formation of independent character in the Muhammadiyah Student Association at SMP Muhammadiyah 29 Sawangan Depok City. The source of the data referred to in the research is the subject from which the data is obtained and obtained and has clear information that aims to be used as material for compiling a research or information to be carried out. The owner of the information here is an informant and in determining the informant the researcher uses a purposive sampling technique or deliberate sampling, in line with what Sugiyono (2013: 218) stated.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Students or members of IPM are given guidance and understanding about the importance of good entrepreneurship and provide education that can benefit themselves and the group. In this case, the responsibilities referred to by students and members of IPM can be able to collectively capitalize, which later the results of entrepreneurship will go into IPM's cash and be used for the benefit of funding activities through the profits they get, or also capital and their own business for the benefit of and profit personally. The data obtained by the researcher is in accordance with the data when the researcher made observations and direct observations in the field related to the formation of independent characters, the application of independence values often does not always go well, it is necessary to have encouragement and enthusiasm not only from the coach but also by Board of teachers and principals at SMP Muhammadiyah 29 Sawangan, so that students and IPM members can get used to doing positive things and preventing negative things from happening, through a process that includes activities they carry out both at school and outside of school, good habits, which start from small things such as discipline, being punctual and not depending on others. data obtained by researchers with the results of observations and observations directly related to the field researchers about the obstacles and obstacles faced by HDI in forming the independent character of students at SMP Muhammadiyah 29 Sawangan The problem is that there is still a lack of mutual respect both with colleagues and with teachers when the teaching and learning process takes place, this researcher also found during direct observation because researchers carried out Field Experience Practice (PPL) activities in the same school, in this case an example of a lack of empathy What is caused is that if they make mistakes such as not bringing a notebook or exercise book, their students only get a warning, this causes students to be less disciplined in the learning process in class. According to researchers, when it comes to members of the Muhammadiyah student association, they sometimes seem to still lack confidence and are shy in conveying information in public, which makes them stutter in speaking. This can be seen when they enter class to ask for donations or convey the information provided by the school for them to communicate to students and students of SMP Muhammadiyah 29 Sawangan during class hours. If these obstacles and obstacles continue, according to this researcher, it will have an impact on their social life and it is necessary to emphasize the actions taken by them schools, in this case the school principal needs to take part in reprimanding and taking action against both teachers who get used to this happening or students who are still getting used to this take place. Guiding teachers must also be able to give assignments related to good activities so that they can increase a sense of responsibility, confidence, independence and solidarity between IPM members and other students, and especially principals and teachers must maintain good coordination as monitoring the course of activities. HDI both inside and outside the school so that the image they build as students of SMP Muhammadiyah 29 Sawangan can be reflected through the participants didinya and in particular the members of the Muhammadiyah Student Association.
The implementation of the activities carried out by the Muhammadiyah Student Association in the formation of independent character can be said to have been running or carried out in accordance with the statement contained in the Ministry of Education and Culture (2017) which explains the meaning of the main character values, one of which is independence which reads "character value". Independence is an attitude and behavior that does not depend on others and uses all energy, thought, time to realize hopes, dreams and ideals. Students who are independent have a good work ethic, are tough, have a fighting spirit, are professional, creative, have courage, and become lifelong learners. Thus, the researcher can point out that the program of activities that have been described previously, where IPM members have carried out or carried out these activities with a good work program in order to develop their abilities while still being accompanied by a coach and supervised by a school principal who also provides motivation, encouragement and direction and appreciation for the slightest positive actions in order to realize the vision and mission of the school in the realm of character building independence.
There are several factors that influence the formation of independent character someone is successful or not, whether it's a factor that comes from himself or from outside such as family, social environment, school and others. Therefore, these factors have a very important role in life and determine how far a person behaves, thinks and behaves independently every day. Because the independence of students is very dependent on what they do, see and feel, thus in achieving independence students must recognize their own personality and know the good and bad of a situation, action and environment. There are solutions that are applied to overcome these obstacles. As stated by Desmita in Suid, et al (2017: 72) independence or autonomy is the ability to control and regulate one's own thoughts, feelings and actions freely and try to overcome feelings of shame and selfdoubt his doubts.
Reinforcing this opinion, Gea in Tursinawati, et al (2017) said that individuals are said to be independent if they have five characteristics, namely self-confidence, being able to work alone, mastering skills and skills that are in accordance with their work, respecting time and being responsible. Thus, a person's independence can be determined when the individual is able or not in solve a problem at hand. In its development, independence appears as a learning process and experience because independence is the behavior of students in realizing their desires or wishes in a real way, such as creativity and initiative, behavior, responsibility, and being able to make their own decisions without depending on others.
