Implementation of Character Education Values Through Drawing Learning in Arts and Culture Subjects at Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) Negeri 3 Padang Panjang

Abstract

The implementation of character education values through drawing in the Arts and Culture subject at SMP Negeri 3 Padang Panjang involves the process of instilling moral and ethical principles depicted in the image of the Garuda bird. This approach aims to enable students to apply these values in their daily lives. The research involves students, subject teachers, and instructors responsible for general subjects such as Religion, Pancasila, and Citizenship (KWN). The primary objective is to instill character education values by teaching students to draw the Garuda bird, the symbol of Indonesia, and to emphasize the character values embedded in it within the Cultural Arts curriculum for Secondary School students. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires. The research findings indicate that utilizing drawing activities, specifically focusing on the Garuda bird, effectively instills character education values in students. This is achieved through incorporating drawing lessons into the Arts and Culture curriculum. The character education values derived from the Garuda bird drawing material include religiousness, honesty, responsibility, discipline, creativity, social concern, environmental awareness, tolerance, strong work ethic, independence, democratic principles, nationalism, love for the motherland, friendliness/communicativeness, and a passionate sense of nationality.
