Abstract

This qualitative paper investigated how full-day school is viewed from the aspect of character education and the formation of cultural values for students. The results were obtained that the learning process by extending learning time is an activity in instilling character education through interaction between teacher, student, and the school environment. Character education is carried out through extracurricular activities, carrying out intense and ongoing communication between teachers and students and organizing routine diversity activities. The implementation of the full-day school policy is also an effort to encourage awareness of students through cultural activities as a step to instill concern and love for the values of local traditions in the city of Bengkulu by conducting music, dance and other creative activities.
