Character education is an essential component in directing students to become complete human beings, namely human beings who are cognitively smart, emotionally intelligent, and able to actualize the values of goodness in social life. As currently learning is done virtually, character education is facing obstacles. This research uses mixed methods with sequential mixed methods strategy and sequential explanatory techniques. The research data were obtained through questionnaires filled out by elementary, middle, and high school teachers who participated in the e-workshop on developing the internalization of character values. 576 teachers filled out the research questionnaire. The collected data were then tabulated and analyzed to get a profile picture of the internalization and implementation of character education carried out by the teachers. The results showed that off the three ways used by to implement character education; habituation, integration, and emulation, only one of them is applied by teachers in schools. In addition, teachers experience difficulties in internalizing and implementing character values when learning is done virtually. This is due to the absence of physical meetings between teachers and students. In fact, it is understood that the internalization process plays an important role in the implementation of character values.
In 21st century, people must be able to think HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills). HOTS thinking greatly influences the way of life of the community, especially in developing the region.

One of the factors leading to success in learning is the teacher’s lesson plan. The more well-developed the lesson plan is, the better the result. Recent findings suggest some teachers in Indonesia neglect the development of their lesson plans. Their planning may be superficial, and their documents may be prepared merely to satisfy educational administrators. The research reported on in this paper analyses how far the development model of character-based lesson planning reflects the internalization of local cultural values. Technically, this research utilizes a descriptive-qualitative approach, specifically collecting data from teachers who span the Senior High School and are dispersed in all regions of Indonesia. Data collection in this study was made by interview, observation, and documentation. The data analysis then includes four phases, such as data reduction, display, analysis, and concluding and verification. This study concludes that (1) Junior teachers were more cautious and idealistic or rigid in their formulation of lesson plans than experienced teachers, and (2) the development of character-based lesson plans could be carried out through internalization of local cultural values.

The ecovillage concept aims to change the mindset of society in changing behavior to be more concerned about the environment. The potential possessed by Sukasari Kidul Village is agricultural and plantation products.
