The study aims to improve the student skills in writing The Javanese Script and learning activities through group discussion assisted by letter cards in the 6th-grade students of SD 1 Prambatan Kidul Kudus Even Semester Academic Year 2018/2019. This study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles using The Javanese Script cards as the learning media and group discussion as the learning method. Research data were collected using nontest techniques (classroom observation, unstructured interviews, and documentation collection) and test techniques (individual written tests). Quantitative data were the scores of The Javanese Script writing skill were analyzed descriptively and qualitative data were the result of learning activities observations that converted into scores and categorized classically. The Pre-cycle stage test score category consisted of poor (62.16%) and fair scores (37.84%), with students had reached learning mastery standard by 37.84%. The Cycle I stage test score category consisted of poor (27.03%), fair (56.76%), and good scores (16.22%), with students had reached learning mastery standard by 72.97%. The Cycle II stage test score category consisted of fair (48.65%), good (40.54%), and very good scores (10.81%), with students had reached learning mastery standard by 100%. The classical learning activities observations are classified as good, both in Cycle I and Cycle II were 70.27% and 71.89%, respectively. Thus, the method of group discussion assisted by letter cards is proven to improve the student skills in writing The Javanese Script and learning activities.

Humans have the ability to immerse into different levels of society. Due to the importance of tolerance values ​​in this life, character education embodying tolerance values ​​should be taught as early as possible. Home is the first school for children to understand tolerance values. However, how to teach the values ​​of tolerance certainly requires an in-depth study. Related to this, there is an educational model that develops tolerance values, namely the unschooling education model. This is a type of the homeschooling education where children are facilitated according to their learning needs at home. Parents and adults who live with the children play as facilitators of learning, for the children do not receive education like that of formal schools. Triangulation methods are used, namely comparing sources and theories, checking the data obtained from the fieldwork, namely secondary data collection and interviews. The results of the study show that children start to learn since they were born. The adults around the children need to continue learning because children are not only the recipients of knowledge. Therefore, unschooling education model is perceived of instrumental in the internalization of tolerance values ​​in children from the early age. Keywords: character education, tolerance values, unschooling education model   Manusia sebagai makhluk sosial tentunya harus memiliki kemampuan untuk beradaptasi dengan kondisi di berbagai lapisan masyarakat. Berbekal internalisasi nilai-nilai toleransi dalam diri setiap insan, pendidikan karakter terkait dengan nilai-nilai toleransi sebaiknya diajarkan sedini mungkin. Rumah sebagai sekolah dan madrasah pertama bagi anak merupakan sarana dan katalisator pengembangan nilai-nilai toleransi. Akan tetapi, bagaimana cara untuk mengajarkan nilai-nilai toleransi tersebut tentunya memerlukan sebuah kajian mendalam. Terkait dengan hal tersebut terdapat sebuah model pendidikan yang dapat diterapkan sebagai upaya pengembangan nilai-nilai toleransi yaitu model pendidikan unschooling. Model pendidikan unschooling sebagai variasi dari model pendidikan homeschooling, dimana anak difasilitasi sesuai dengan kebutuhan belajarnya di rumah dan orang tua atau orang dewasa yang tinggal bersama anak, merekalah fasilitator anak dalam belajar serta anak tidak mengenyam pendidikan seperti sistem pembelajaran di sekolah formal. Kajian dalam penelitian ini dianalisis secara kualitatif melalui penggunaan metode triangulasi, yaitu membandingkan sumber dan teori, melakukan pengecekan data-data yang diperoleh dari dua teknik pengumpulan data yaitu pengumpulan data sekunder dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sejak dini di lingkungan pertama anak terlahir adalah garis awal kita sebagai fitrah dari Allah Swt untuk belajar. Orang dewasa di sekitar anak sebagai pembimbing pertama bagi anak perlu untuk terus belajar, karena tidak hanya anak sebagai penerima ilmu. Oleh sebab itu, implementasi model pendidikan unschooling efektif dan efisien dalam menjembatani internalisasi nilai-nilai toleransi pada anak sejak dini.
