The Implementation of Character Education at Senior High School

Abstract

Abstract. This paper is aimed at analyzing the implementation of character education at Senior High School in Sumedang Regency, West Java, Indonesia. A content analysis method was employed to collect the data with interviews with six teachers from six different senior high schools, which represent the rural, transitional, and urban areas. The findings revealed that: (1) not all teachers understand the concept of character education; (2) the character education has not been done systematically or has not had the specific design/model for the teaching and learning process. Most teachers embedded the character values during the teaching and learning process as a form of character education. For example, through Qur'an recitation, learning tasks, group discussion, lecture, sociodrama, observation and admonition, and even through teachers' model. Meanwhile, outside the class, character education was implemented through competition and extracurricular activities; (3) the evaluation of character education was relatively varied, such as an observation followed by admonition, group guidance, and also focusing on behavior and affective assessment in the classroom learning process. This research implied that it is needed to make a policy on a program development through the Bureau of Education to improve Senior High School teachers' knowledge and skills in implementing the character education.

Manajenem Sekolah Berbayar Sampah dalam Pembentukan Karakter Kemandirian dan Parenting di Sekolah Dasar

“…Faktanya Pendidikan Dasar sampai janjang pendidikan tinggi di Indonesia hanya mengejar proses pembelajaran sesuai dengan target pembelajaran bukan kepada suatu konsep (Julia & Supriyadi, 2018), karena sistem pendidikan di Indonesia lebih menyenangi segala sesuatu yang dianggap sama yang diukur melalui standar nilai bukan kepada kecakapan (Faisal & Martin, 2019;Parker, 2017;Sheehy, Kaye, & Rofiah, 2019;Suyatno & Wantini, 2018), dan yang paling menyedihkan betapa rendahnya penanaman karakter di Sekolah. Guru-guru yang mengajar di kelas lebih mengejar pencapaian pembelajaran bukan menerapkan bagaimana penerapan pendidikan karakter dalam suatu proses pembelajaran.…”
