Exploratory Study on Internalization of Character Values through Educational Profession Course

Abstract

This study was based on the findings during teaching and learning process at FKIP Universitas Dehasen Bengkulu (the Faculty of Educational Science and Teacher Training of Dehasen University of Bengkulu). There was a phenomenon of declining of good character value and morality. This is because of the misused of advancing technology by students that brings negative impact on the students' character and morality. This phenomenon was especially found among new students of FKIP (Faculty of Educational Science and Teacher Training) on their early stage of study. At the meeting of Educational Profession (Profesi Pendidikan) course, we did early observation by making contract with the new student.. They generally still brought their local character and moralor their old behavior. This could be seen, for example, they talked to their lecturers and seniors impolitely or often used their local language. Everyone's patience was needed in dealing withthis phenomenon. As the lectures progressed, especially Educational Profession course, we tried to internalize character values toward the students. This had positive impact for them. Today, they are found to be more polite, for example, they greet their lecturers and seniors when they meet them. This study dealt with character values such as: religious, discipline, honest, hard work, responsible, love peace, appreciate achievements, and friendly or communicative. This Exploratory study which was done to internalize character value of the students, has positive impact, this can be seen fromthepositive progress of students' character. Students who already have good character will keep learning to have better personality. This wil affect their future job, especially if they become teachers.

“…The incorporation of Quizizz media in multimedia learning significantly influences student interest, evident through indicators such as enjoyment in learning, active participation, sustained engagement, and attentiveness to the media content. The observable student engagement underscores the positive impact of Quizizz in enriching the learning experience, thereby affirming its efficacy in fostering greater student engagement (Mesterjon et al, 2023b). To delve deeper into its value augmentation, we conducted an analysis utilizing both Data and Hypothesis Testing methodologies.…”

Evaluation of Character Education Program Based on School Culture

“…Character education is defined as a genuine effort to help someone understand, care, and act on the basis of core ethical values (Alcivar et al, 2021;Starokozhko et al, 2020). Character education is a process of providing educational guidance (values, character, morals and character) to students to become fully human (characterized in the dimensions of heart, mind, body, taste and intention), and make students know, care, and internalize values so that we humans behave (Moate, 2021;Mesterjon et al, 2021). Character education is education that instills and develops noble characters (Cathrin et al, 2021).…”

Strengthening values in the Mentari Sehat Indonesia community in empowerment practices

“…Some articles explaining value internalization in group/organization (Ahmadi et al, 2020;Harnanto, 2022;Kusumaningrum & Sulistyaningsih, 2021;Mesterjon et al, 2021;Nursyamsiah, 2014;Sultoni et al, 2018;Tambak et al, 2021). All of the articles revealed that the internalization of values is done through formal education realm from senior high school to university.…”

“…Those articles also did not explain the procedure of internalization specifically. Only Mesterjon et al (2021) and Harnanto (2022) articles did explain the internalization model through exploratory study and BMT Garuda and Bupanca Media. Meanwhile, Kusumaningrum and Sulistyaningsih (2021) article discussed more the internalization of Pancasila values in adolescents through digital literacy education program.…”
