STRATEGI INTEGRASI PENDIDIKAN BUDI PEKERTI DALAM PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS KOMPETENSI

Abstract

Character education represents one of the principal loads in the
implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (Balitbang,
2002) and it is carried out by means of an integrated learning
approach, i.e., by integrating it into all class subjects. Problems arise
because not all teachers possess the potential sensitivity adequate for
identifying and analyzing materials for character education in the
learning materials or lesson books used. The teachers tend to merely
teach whatever is explicit in the learning materials while the
materials for character education implicit in the learning materials
are not perceived and revealed. As a result, the character education
implied is not worked out and does not reach the learner.
To solve the problem, certain strategies need to be employed in
carrying out character education integrated in the competency-based
class subjects. The strategies cover presentation and learning
strategies, the former further covering implicit and explicit strategies
and the latter further covering deductive and inductive strategies.
The strategies could also be combined into implicit-deductive,
implicit-inductive, explicit-deductive, and explicit-inductive ones.
The identification, interpretation, and analysis of materials for
character education should be made to fit the local cultural context
(implying Contextual Teaching and Learning or CTL).
