Abstract

The application of character values in early childhood is widely regarded as a deliberate and systematic effort to nurture a generation of individuals characterized by virtue and moral integrity. The family, as the first and primary environment, plays a fundamental role in the process of internalizing character values through habituation, role modeling, and positive interactions. This study aims to analyze the role of the family in instilling four core character values namely honesty, discipline, responsibility, and politeness which are considered crucial for the moral development of early childhood. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, supported by a systematic literature review. The data presented in this study were obtained from various sources, including books, scientific articles, and regulations related to character education. The results show that the family has a dominant influence in shaping character through parenting, interpersonal communication, behavior regulation, and role modeling. This study makes a significant contribution to the field of family strategies in strengthening the character of early childhood amid the challenges of the digital age. It is hoped that these findings can serve as a reference for educators, parents, and future researchers in formulating family-based character building programs.

Abstract

This research was conducted to examine the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in non-formal educational institutions such as PKBM and course institutions. This curriculum gives educators the freedom to organize the learning process according to the needs, interests, and potential of each student. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, where data is collected through interviews, direct observations, and field document studies. The research results show that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum is carried out gradually, adjusted to the conditions of the institution and the abilities of the students. In its implementation, learning is now more student-centered, no longer teacher-centered. Students are encouraged to be more active, creative, and directly involved through activities such as projects and real-life practices. Several factors that support the successful implementation of this curriculum include a flexible learning schedule and good cooperation among educators. However, there are still challenges such as the limited number of educators who understand the concept of the Merdeka Curriculum and the lack of technological facilities. Overall, the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in non-formal educational institutions has a positive impact. Students become more motivated, independent, and creative. Teachers also play the role of facilitators, guiding students to discover and develop their best potential.
