INTEGRATION OF CHARACTER EDUCATION IN EDUCATION CITIZENSHIP TO DEVELOP STUDENT CHARACTER

Abstract

Education is an effort to pass on culture from one generation to the next consciously and planned. Education is organized through the creation of learning conditions and learning activities to develop the potential of students through religious strength, self-control, personality, intelligence, good character, and competencies needed for themselves and society. In particular, the aim is (1) to identify various character values that are relevant to civic education subjects in elementary schools (2) integrate into civic education lessons in elementary schools. This research was conducted to integrate character education into Civics lessons so that there is a development of attitudes and character of students in elementary schools using a qualitative approach. Furthermore, the method applied is the literature study method. Researchers collect data through references to articles and journals on trusted websites. In fact, civic education lessons have not been successful enough in carrying out this role because the educational learning process only focuses on the form of achievement, while affective management is still neglected. In solving these problems, it is necessary to study the modification of education by integrating the concept of character into its development so that it will further develop and shape the character of students in elementary school and in the future.
