“…To anticipate the threat of dehumanization due to competition in the global era, according to Foester (Berkowitz & Bustamante, 2013;Helterbran & Strahler, 2013), students need to be prepared with CE in the form of giving awareness about the hierarchy of values to evaluate each student's actions. In an era of progress, human limitations can cause ambiguity and division within oneself.…”

Character education (CE) in secondary schools is one of the educational programs aimed to anticipate the tendency of moral perversion, as a result of moral decadence. Various forms of moral deviations that occur among high school students result in them being alienated from life because they conflict with cultural norms, school discipline, and life ethics in society. This article aims to discuss the relation of character values reinforcement and the principal's transformational leadership strategy to shape student characters in a descriptive-critical manner. The objectives of this study are school strategies in optimizing the implementation of character education reinforcement. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study design. The instrument of data collection was through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis used a modified analytic analysis method. Meanwhile, the data validity measurement was based on the level of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The results emphasize the importance of shaping student character as an anticipatory step to minimize moral distortions among high school students, and the effectiveness of the principal's transformational leadership role in optimizing the implementation of character education programs (CEP) in schools.

“…Initially, we developed an educational model framework based on the analysis of problems found in previous studies on character development (Birhan et al, 2021;Pike et al, 2021), traditional games (Fitri, Nur, & Putri, 2020;, the use of the Socratic method in learning (Helterbran & Strahler 2013;Lee & Manning, 2013), and the culture promotion (Pemerintah Indonesia, 2017). These studies produce a character education model framework, as shown in Figure 1.…”

This study intended to build a character education model in an elementary school using traditional games based on the Socratic Method. This study used design-based research (DBR), with five experts helping to validate the character education model using a model evaluation instrument and 26 students participating in the model trial. As a result, the developed model comprises six elements: focus, syntax, reaction principles, social system, support system, and application. Meanwhile, the syntax, which consists of four steps: the initial stage, the transition stage, the working stage, and the termination stage, is the core of this model. Experts strongly agree that the model is in the "highly appropriate" category for fostering character development in elementary school students. There is a Socratic method in the developed syntax that encourages students to analyze the characters they encounter in traditional games. The study concludes that the proposed model can help students build character in elementary schools. Furthermore, this model can introduce and revive traditional games in Indonesia as part of the country's cultural heritage.

“…Cultures and norms prevalently attached in a school level can provide strong character to students (Daniati et al, 2019). Character education is an approach used to overcome the influence of cognition and student behaviour (Gable et al, 2013) and to help children develop skills (Helterbran & Strahler, 2013). The value of character education is a students' leading factor to learn mathematics, so that the objectives of learning mathematics can be achieved.…”

“…It can be justified form the study results conducted by Gable et al (2013) who state that character education is a system change approach to overcome the influence of students' cognition and behaviour. Helterbran and Strahler (2013) also give a point of view that character education helps children develop skills and attitudes. Meanwhile, Ugurlu (2014) states that character education is a series of appropriate experiences and continues to develop designed to promote positive social attitudes and related behaviours to encourage the growth of social competence.…”

Character education plays a critical role in all aspects of life and thus, it has been widely-adopted in schools. An indication of its success can be reflected in the student learning achievement. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect size of the relationship between character education values and mathematics learning achievement, with a meta-analysis study. In this research, character education value is the independent variable while mathematics learning achievement is the dependent one. The data were obtained from the results of online database search at Google Scholar from 2012-2019. Based on the search, 16 research publications met the criteria determined based on rigorous screening. The data were analyzed using a quantitative meta-analysis approach, specifically correlation meta-analysis. The results show that there was a significant relationship between character education values and students’ mathematics learning achievement. The effect size value was in the moderate effect category. The findings are in line with those of previous studies investigating this relationship and thus, strengthen the theory about the factors that influence mathematics learning achievement. In addition, these findings suggest five-character education values that teachers can provide to improve students’ mathematics learning achievement.
