Strengthening character is one of the priority programs of President Joko Widodo and Vice President Jusuf Kalla. In his mind, it was stated that the government would revolutionize the nation's character. The Ministry of Education and Culture implements strengthening the nation's character in succession through the Movement to Strengthen Character Education which has been launched since 2016. The purpose of this study is to be able to determine strategies that can be used to improve the character of young people in maintaining the relationship between Chinese-Indonesian culture. This study uses a decision support system that is used to select strategies that can be used to improve the character of young people in maintaining the relationship between Chinese-Indonesian culture. The research approach uses hierarchical analytical processes and multi-criteria decision making using expert choice applications. Both of these approaches are used because both approaches are often used in decision support systems, so it is expected to be used to determine strategies that can be used to improve the character of young people in maintaining relations between Chinese-Indonesian culture. In this study, the results obtained were to choose Honesty by 58.2%, as a strategy that can be used to improve the character of young people in maintaining the relationship between Chinese-Indonesian culture. The rest chose Residence and Education each at 20.9%. The data inconsistency ratio is considered good because 0.01, is smaller than 0.1 as the maximum inconsistency ratio.

Implementation of School Culture-Based Character Education Strengthening Prog...Paulus Robert Tuerah
This study aims to analyze the implementation of the school culture-based Character Education Strengthening (PPK) program at SMP Negeri 10 Satap Tondano. This research uses a qualitative approach. Data collection in this study was carried out using in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of this study show that the implementation of the school culture-based Character Education Strengthening Program (PPK) at SMP Negeri 10 Satap Tondano has not been implemented optimally due to: 1) the availability of inadequate school facilities and infrastructure to support extracurricular and co-curricular activities which are mandatory components in the implementation of school culture-based KDP, 2) parental support for the child's education process that is still lacking, and 3) inadequate school financing in financing the implementation of activities and the procurement of school facilities and infrastructure. For this reason, we should: 1) schools need to coordinate with all stakeholders in the field of education, 2) the government needs to provide sufficient funds to support the implementation of school-based KDP, 3) need maximum support from parents in the form of attention and supervision of children's associations

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Introduction
Indonesia has a variety of complex problem, which is not finished. For the political aspect the problem includes
confusion and constitutional system of government, ineffective state institutions, which do not support the party
system, and the development of political pragmatism (Suprapto, 2014). Then the economy, the issue includes
economic paradigm is not consistent, dualistic economic structure, fiscal policy has not been independent, banking
and financial system that is not impartial, and trade and industrial policies are liberal. Then the socio-cultural
aspects, the current problem is waning sense and national ties, disorientation religious values, the waning of social
cohesion and integration, and a weaker positive mentality (Central Leader of Muhammadiyah, 2009).
Indonesia needs a great quantity and quality of human resources as the main supporter of the development
(Ikhsan, 2014). Large population is the most important for the progress and setbacks of a nation depends on human
factors. The problems of politic, economic, social can also be completed by human resources. However, to solve the
problems and deal with the high civilization competition become more advanced, Indonesia needs revitalization and
strengthening strong character of human resources. One aspect that can be done to prepare for the strong human
character is through education (Suprapto, 2014). Education is the only key that can achieve strong human resources
(Suyatno, 2010).
Indonesia’s needs now related to the importance of capacity building for sustainable development. Capacity
building has been embedded in the objectives and programs of work of many international organizations and they
offer a wide range of capacity building activities (United Nations Environment Program (UNEP); Division of
Technology Industry and Economics (DTIE); and Economics and Trade Branch (ETB), 2006).
Capacity building as a means to promoting sustainable development is broad and can encompass a multitude of
activities. In its publication “Capacity Building for Sustainable Development“ UNEP described capacity building as
building abilities, relationships and values that will enable organizations, groups and individuals to improve their
performance and achieve their development objectives. Capacity building was also described as initiating and
sustaining a process of individual and organizational change that can equally refer to change within a state, civil
society or the private sector, as well as a change in processes that enhance cooperation between different groups of
society. This definition puts emphasis on three aspects: (a) capacity building as the catalyst and constant fuel for a
process of change, (b) the importance of building institutional capacity, and the (c) involvement of a wide range of
different groups in society (United Nations Environment Program (UNEP); Division of Technology Industry and
Economics (DTIE); and Economics and Trade Branch (ETB), 2006).
It must be said that building the requisite human capita for the attainment of sustainable development by all
countries requires both a new ideology of life and innovative approach to education. In this regard, sustainable

development should become a regular part of the programs and curricula of our educational system at all levels. As
noted by Peters “education is an instrument for training human resources to optimize productivity by encouraging
technical progress and by promoting cultural conditions conducive to social and economic change” (Peters, 2013).
One of the missions of Indonesia that realize its vision of future has been included in the Outline of State Policy
(GBHN) which embody the national education system and the democratic climate in order to strengthen noble
character, creative, innovative, insightful nationality, intelligent, healthy, disciplined and responsible, skilled and
master of science and technology in order to develop human qualities of Indonesia (Depdiknas, 2003). It is clearly
visible on Guidelines mandated policy where education improves the academic and professional skills and to
improve welfare education so that teachers are optimally functioned, especially in the improvement of education and
moral character in order to restore the prestige of the institution and staff; empower educational institutions both
school and outside the school as the center of civilizing values, attitudes, and skills, and to increase the participation
of families and communities that are supported by adequate infrastructure.
Education is a planned effort to mentor and learning for the individual to develop and grow into a human being
with an independent, responsible, creative, knowledgeable, healthy, and noble good views of the physical and
spiritual aspects (Lickona, 1992). Human morality, which has a very high morality required to set up or constructed.
The Indonesian people are not just emit a glow of the importance of education, but rather how the Indonesian nation
capable of realizing the concept of education by way of coaching, training and human resource development in a
sustainable and equitable Indonesia. This is in line with the Law. 20 of 2003 on National Education System as saying
that the purpose of education is "... to be a man who is faithful and devoted to God Almighty, noble, healthy,
knowledgeable, skilled, creative, independent, and become citizens of a democratic and accountable".
Based on the function and purpose of national education, it is clear that education at all levels should be
organized systematically. This is related to the formation of the character of the students so that they can compete,
has an ethics, and has morals, manners in interacting with the public. Based on research at Harvard University in the
United States (Djalil and Megawangi, 2006), it turns out a person's success is not determined solely by the
knowledge and technical skills (hard skills), but rather by the ability to manage themselves and others (soft skills).
This research suggests that success is determined only approximately 20% of the hard skills and the remaining 80%
by the soft skills. Even the most successful people in the world to be successful due to the more widely supported the
ability of soft skills rather than hard skills. This suggests that educational character is essential for learners improved.
Seeing people of Indonesia itself is also very weak in mastering soft skills.
Seeing the present and future, the availability of human resources is characterized by a vital necessity. This was
done to prepare for the global challenges and competitiveness of the nation. It is not easy to generate human
resources contained in the Act. The problem is Indonesia still do not reflect the human ideals of education are
expected. For example, today cases, there are still many students who cheat on exams when on, being lazy, conflict
between fellow students, doing promiscuity, drugs, and others. On the other hand, found teachers who always give
bad examples to students. For example, teachers rarely make fraud in the certification and the national exam (UN).
This condition is frankly very sad and worrying for Indonesia which has been independent since 1945. Indeed, this
problem cannot be generalized, but at least it is a fact that should not be ignored because we do not want the children
of our nation would become an immoral man, as now we often see on television that displays news as theft, robbery,
rape, corruption, and kidnapping, carried out not only by adults but also by children teens.
Departing from the above problems and theories, need a formal attempt to set conditions, facilities, activities,
education, and a curriculum that leads to the formation of character and manners of the young generation to have a
strong legal foundation. However, the signal is only realized when the moral crisis that hit all levels of society. No
exception is also in children of school age. To prevent more severe moral crisis, now those efforts initiated through
educational character nation. In granting the national educational character in schools, too many experts are
disagreeing each other. There are at least three opinions are evolving. First, given that the national educational
character as a stand-alone subject.The second opinion, given the national educational character integrated in Civics
subject, religious education, and other relevant subjects. The third opinion, national educational character is
integrated into all subjects.
From the three opinions above, this study tends to think that all three national educational characters are
integrated into all subjects. Because the role of the educational character in building human capital through high
quality educational that promotes creativity, innovation and adoption of modern technology for the successful
implementation of sustainable development cannot be overemphasized.A primary issue that will be revealed in this
study is the acquisition of an overview of educational character at High School Al-Istiqamah.

educational character at the school are words or images, so it does not emphasize on the number; and (3) a greater
emphasis on the process rather than the product or outcome; (4) data analysis conducted inductively; and (5) further
emphasize the data behind the observed (Sugiyono, 2007).
In this study, the researcher used observation to collect data from multiple data sources in the form of an event,
place or location and objects as well as the recorded image (Sutopo, 2002). In this study the researcher used direct

3. Findings
Model of educational character at high school Al-Istiqamah were (1) religious, it has attitude and personality
pious, honest, trustworthy, generous, helping each other, and tolerant; (2) moderate, it has a life that is not radical

able to live in diversity and cooperation; (3) intelligent, it has attitude and personality of a rational life, love science,
open-minded forward; and (4) independent, it has an independent attitude and personality, discipline, thrift, respect
for time, hard working, entrepreneurial, and have a love of high nationality without losing orientation universal
human values and relationships among civilizations of nation-nation.
High School Al-Istiqamah is not only form a personal smart and nice, but also mold them into good actors to
change his own life, which will donate the change in the social order becomes more justice, kind, and humane. The
high school teachers are involved in the process of learning, discussion, and take the initiative in an effort to build
educational character. Then they are also responsible for a model that has moral values and take advantage of the
opportunity to influence students. This means that high school educators at Al-Istiqamah ought to be "uswah
hasanah" living for each learner. They should also be open and ready to discuss with the students about the various
good values. Teachers are also required to provide an understanding of the character of the growth of students
through collaboration and participation in decision making. Then the teachers reflect on moral issues such as routine
questions to ensure that the students experience character development. In addition, they also explain or clarify to
students on a continuous basis about the value of the good and the bad.
Other things were done by high school teachers Al-Istiqamah in the implementation of educational character
were (1) applying participatory methods that involve active learning of students; (2) creating a conducive learning
environment; (3) providing explicit educational character, systematic, and continuous, involving aspects knowing the
good, loving the good, and the good acting; and (4) pay attention to the uniqueness of each students in the use of
learning methods.
Without an exception, all high school teachers Al-Istiqamah make their selves as an authoritative figure model
for the students. Therefore, it will not have meaning if the teacher teaches Civics solve a problem as opposed to the
4. Research Journal of Education, 2015, 1(2): 15-20
18
way of democracy, while another teacher authoritarian way, or a teacher of religious education in answering
questions from the students by giving the example of the Prophet and friends, while another teacher just said
carelessly in answering.
In making Lesson Plan the teachers must include instructional impact and impact drover. Impact
accompaniment is educational character should be developed, cannot be reached directly, it can only be reached after
several learning activities take place. In the assessment of learning outcomes, all teachers should measure students'
abilities in all aspects. By using that judgment it can be imaged the figure of actual student. It means in determining
students’ success must be judged from various areas such as cognitive, affective and psychomotor. The student
actually assessed the ability of reasoning on the problems of Mathematics. It is also assessed the ability of
educational character by doing honesty not cheating, and ask friends and this is addressed because the acts are not
good. In addition, they are also assessed the ability of their movements to work on the problems with writing a
regular exam, neat, and easy to read.
High School Al-Istiqamah implements educational character through a holistic approach, which integrates
character development into every aspect of school life such (1) developing relationships between students, teachers,
and community; (2) caring community of learners where there is a clear bond that links students, teachers, and
school; (3) social emotional learning and academic learning equivalent; (4) cooperation and collaboration among
students become more mainstream over the competition; (5) values such as fairness, respect, and honesty become a
part of everyday learning both inside and outside the classroom; (6) students are given many opportunities to
practice moral behavior through activities such as learning to provide services; (7) discipline and classroom
management focus on solving problems than rewards and punishments; and (8) model of teacher-centered learning
should be abandoned and turn to democracy classroom where teachers and students come together to build a unified,
norms, and solve problems.
Meanwhile, the role of High School Al-Istiqamah in implementing educational character include (1) collecting
teachers, parents and students together to identify and define the elements of character that they want to emphasize;
(2) provide training for teachers on how to integrate educational character into the life and culture of the school; (3)
form a partnership with parents and the community so that students can hear the behavior of the characters is
important for success in school and in life; and (4) provide an opportunity for the principal, teachers, parents and the
community to be a model of social and moral behavior.

4. Discussions
It is reasonable if high school educational character at Al-Istiqamah integrated into all subjects. The reasons for
that are because it increases the noble character of the students is the responsibility of all teachers. All teachers
should become the authoritative figure model for the students. Implementation of integrated educational character
into all subjects, it is more adequate development in an integrated curriculum model and integrated learning by
determining the center core on the subjects that will be learned.
The model of educational character at High School Al-Istiqamah supports a paper presented by Suyatno (Rector
of Muhammadiyah University Prof. DR. HAMKA) in the National Workshop "Development of Culture and
Educational character Nation" by Kopertis Region 3 Jakarta, January 12, 2010. The paper reported that the formation
of a strong human character is needed to deal with global challenges more severe. Human character is formed
through a process of formal, non-formal, and informal. To synergism, the role of educators in educational character
is vital that students become a religious man, modest, intelligent, and independent in accordance with the ideals and
goals of national education and the character of Indonesia.
The findings support the research which was done by Enemark (2003). This paper argued that even if the key
focus may be on education and training to meet short and medium term needs, capacity building measures should be
addressed in the wider context of developing institutional infrastructures for implementing land policies in a
sustainable way. Capacity building measures must be addressed at three levels: the societal level (policies, legal
frameworks and accountability), the organizational level (institutional infrastructures and organizational
5. Research Journal of Education, 2015, 1(2): 15-20
19
effectiveness), and individual level (technical and professional competencies and responsibilities). Capacity building
should be seen as a comprehensive methodology aiming to provide a sustainable outcome through assessing and
addressing a whole range of relevant issues and their interrelationships.
The findings also support UNESCO that commits the Organization to providing targeted assistance to the LDCs
in all of its spheres of competence. Targeted action for the LDCs during the 2010-2011 program cycle focuses on (1)
promoting quality education for all, particularly through capacity development, so as to prepare young people for the
world of work and to promote economic growth, foster civic participation, personal development and empower
women; (2) providing policy advice and capacity building in Science, Technology and Innovation for sustainable
development and poverty reduction; (3) promoting the sustainable management of freshwater, ocean and terrestrial
resources, including renewable sources of energy, as well as disaster preparedness and mitigation; (4) promoting
mitigation and adaptation to climate change, notably through enhanced education and public awareness; (5)
promoting culture as a powerful engine for economic growth to generate income and stimulate employment; (6)
developing free, pluralistic and independent media, training journalists and media professionals and fostering ICT
applications for enhancing quality; and (7) Impact of teaching and learning processes.
Educational character, it is absolutely necessary not only at school, but also at home and in the social
environment. Nowadays the participant in educational character is not only for early childhood to adolescence, but
also adulthood. Absolutely it is necessary for the survival of this nation. Imagine what kind of competition that
emerged in the year 2021? It is clear that it will become our burden and parents today. At that time, the children of
today will face competition from his colleagues from around the country in the World. While we are still going to
work in that year, we will feel the same feelings. The demands of human resources in 2021 would require good
character.
However, the character is the key to individual success. From a study in the United States, 90% of cases are
caused by the dismissal of bad behavior as irresponsible, dishonest, and poor interpersonal relationships. In addition,
there are other studies that indicate that 80% of a person's success in society is determined by the emotional quotient.
For Indonesia today, educational character also means making earnest efforts, systematic and sustainable way to
awaken and strengthen the awareness and reassurance that all Indonesian people will not have a better future without
building character people of Indonesia. In other words, there is no a better future can be achieved without honesty,
without increasing self-discipline, without persistence, without the spirit of high learning, without developing a sense
of responsibility, without fostering unity amidst diversity, without the spirit of contributing to the progress, and
without a sense of confidence and optimism.
