Hasil Turnitin: Character Education Implementation in Disciplinary Values and Social Care in Early Children: A Multi Site Study at Mawar and Sejahtera Mandiri Kindergartens in Gambut

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe, analyze, and determine the implementation of character education on the values of discipline and social care in early childhood, as well as to provide insight, knowledge, and new activities to character education instruction. This research employed a qualitative description method with a multi-site study design. Using organized and unstructured interview procedures, direct observation, and documentation, data was gathered. The obtained data was then analysed using data reduction techniques, followed by data presentation and data verification for the outcomes. The findings from sites 1 and 2 are then applied to other sites. This study's findings indicate that infusing discipline and social care character education for young children at sites 1 and 2 resulted in successful character education planting at site 2, namely Sejahtera Mandiri Kindergarten. Based on the findings from sites 1 and 2, school principals should continue to play an active role in instilling disciplinary and socially caring character education. Teachers also play a role in the learning process that takes place in the school environment, as do parents who actively participate in instilling education. Character is fostered at home so that schools do not play a sole active role for children.
