Abstract
The full day school program is a new model in the education management system in Indonesia. This phenomenon is interesting because there is a paradox in it. Education in Indonesia is often criticized for the learning which is too heavy, but the full day school program gets a positive response from the community although it has longer school hours. This research aims to answer the questions; 1) How is a full day school praxis program in Indonesia? Second, how is the implementation of humanizing the classroom learning program in schools that implement the full day school program? This research is a qualitative research with locus at Islam Terpadu Salsabila Elementary School (SDIT Salsabila), Yogyakarta. Research subject is determined by purposive sampling. Method of data collections are: 1) participant observation, 2) in-depth interview, 3) questionnaire, and 4) document analysis. Data analysis technique is inductive-qualitative. The results are; First, the full day school program in Indonesia is growing as a result of the increasing number of busy working parents. They do not have the opportunity to accompany their children at home because they are busy working from morning to evening. The full day school program is an educative solution for them. Secondly, humanizing the classroom is implemented through students’ active involvement in the classroom and the learning process is democratic and fun. This approach is a solution so that students do not feel boredom in learning although they spent their time throughout the day at school.

Summary
In the past two decades, educational institutions in Indonesia have experienced shift in its management system. This is marked by the spring of schools that apply the system of full day school, the school that implements a full day of learning, between the hours of 7am to 4pm. Awareness about the importance of education is the main reason, in addition to other technical factors such as wanting to entrust their children because parents are busy working until the evening so that children do not spend their time to watch television and neglect learning. Elicker & Mathur (1997) described three factors that led to the growing of schools with full day system; First, many parents are busy working outside the house so they leave their children at schools with a full day system. The curriculum demands that fit the current development era takes longer time in integrating student-centered learning models and experiential learning
