Penerapan Nilai-Nilai Karakter Melalui Budaya Sekolah

Abstract

The development of globalization, technology, information, and communication has an impact on the globalization of cultural values so that they can form new cultures. The emergence of a new culture that is not in accordance with the values of Pancasila can result in a shift in ethical, moral, and moral values in the lives of Indonesian people. Therefore, character building in Indonesia becomes the main focus and is very important in shaping and developing the potential of Indonesian citizens to have a character in accordance with the Pancasila philosophy. School is one of the effective media in shaping and developing students' character values. One strategy for developing character values in schools is through school culture. School culture includes all activities carried out in the school in which there are character values through the interaction of all school members. The inculcation of character values which becomes the school culture needs to be developed based on local wisdom and carried out systematically, integratively, and holistically. The application of character values through school culture is done by creating conditions that support the inculcation of character values, role models, routine school activities, spontaneity activities, programmatic activities, counseling guidance activities, and extracurricular activities. The application of character values through school culture can be done through several activities, including; 5S activities (Greetings, Smiles, Greetings, Polite and Courteous); tadarus culture; the culture of reading prayer when starting and ending learning; discipline; and clean culture; honest culture; memorial day; neatly dressed, and so on.
