Summary

Introduction

One of the principles of education is that education is organized as a process of culturalization and empowerment of learners that lasted a lifetime. Educators are required to provide a model, build willpower and develop the potential and creativity of learners. The implication of this principle is a paradigm shift in the educational process, namely from the paradigm of teaching into a paradigm of learning. Learning is a process of interaction of learners with teachers and learning resources in a learning environment [1]. In a morally corrupt world, education remains the sole rescue anchor to guide new generation towards rehabilitation of moral value [2]
