What do the government say? Karakter adalah cara berpikir dan berperilaku yang menjadi ciri khas tiap individu untuk hidup dan bekerjasama, baik dalam lingkup keluarga, masyarakat, bangsa dan negara. Individu yang berkarakter baik adalah individu yang bisa membuat keputusan dan siap mempertanggungjawabkan tiap akibat dari keputusan yang ia buat.(Prof. Suyanto, Ph.D)

Government Regulation no Government Regulation no.20/2003 on National Education System, article 1: one of the objectives of national education is developing the potentials of learners to have intelligence, personality, and noble conduct

Let’s see what happens Watch the following short movie, and state your opinions What is the main problem here? Does it also happen in your community? What can we do to solve the problem?

Why are these things important? Lickona (1991) There is a clear and urgent need. Transmitting values is and always has been the work of civilisation. The school’s role as moral educator becomes more vital at a time when millions of children get little moral teaching from their parents and when value-centered influence such as church or temple are also absent from their lives.

Why…? (Cont’d) There is a common ethical ground even in our values-conflicted society. Democracies have a special need for moral education. There is no such thing as value-free education. Moral questions are among the great question facing both the individuals and human race. There is a broad-based, growing support for values education in the schools

What is gender equality? Gov’t Regulation No.20/ 2003 Chapter III article 4 verse 1 Pendidikan diselenggarakan secara demokratis dan berkeadilan serta tidak diskriminatif dengan menjunjung tinggi hak asasi manusia, nilai keagamaan, nilai kultural, & kemajemukan bangsa. Chapter IV article 5 verse 1 Setiap warga negara mempunyai hak yg sama untuk memperoleh pendidikan yg bermutu.

Let’s check our concept Volunteers, please do as the presenter asks you to do What conclusions can you draw from the activity? How would you incorporate the concepts?

Definitions of gender The differences of roles, functions, & responsibilities between men and women which are the results of social construction & are changeable according to time and developments in society. The differences among men and women which do not refer to biological differences, but rather to values in the society and culture, which in turn determine the roles of women and men in their personal as well as all aspects of life.

What are the facts? The number of illiterate women: twice that of illiterate men. The higher the level of education, the fewer women achieve it. There are still discrimination and segregation in choosing majors in schools/colleges. In low-income families, boys, not girls, are encouraged to continue their studies. There are still stereotypical representations of gender roles in books.

What happens in the classroom? Girls are scolded for writing sloppily Boys are expected to be noisy, need more attention from the teacher Boys are appointed captains, girls secretaries and/or treasurers What else? Are you aware of doing those things?

Let’s see what they say Watch the short movie, and state your opinion Discuss briefly whether the same thing(s) happen in your classroom, and what you can do to change it.
